Today is a special day. The Principal organized a special Easter Egg hunt where students and teachers team up to find as many eggs as possible. Whoever finds the most will win a special prize. Since everyone is stoked at the idea of receiving a prize, the competition level is skyrocketing.

I really want that prize. I can't think of anything but that. I'd be lying if I said I don't care. So, here I am, rambling about possibly winning something for an event that should only be fun, not turn into a competition.

Still, I can't shake off that feeling that something might go awfully wrong... I know, I shouldn't be really that pessimistic, but at the same time I can't just pretend everything is okay when it's clear it's anything but.

I really hope this is going to end in nothing but fun.

When we're all back at the school's backyard, everyone grins out of joy for the incredible amout of eggs they managed to find. I, on the other hand, only found one, but it doesn't look like an ordinary one. It's golden, with diamonds on it. I think it's part of a much larger treasure, but no-one is aware of it.

As I hand it to the headmaster to have it checked (I mean, I don't know if he'll count it as an actual egg or not), I wonder what I can do with it. I could make money out of it. I could donate it to a museum, so that everyone can see how precious it is. Or I can just keep it. There are so many options I can choose from.

The headmaster, however, warns me. "This isn't an ordinary egg, Davis. You need to be careful. This is actually a precious item dating back to the nineteenth century." How the fuck does he recognize it? Did he find out about it on a book? Or did anyone tell him the story behind it?

I guess the only way to find out is to actually believe his word.

As the headmaster hands me the mysterious object, I realize I can open it and do so. There's a small paper inside. Probably, it contains a fragment from a mysterious journal that dates back to the nineteenth century.

I guess I talked too early. The note simply says, "Tag! It's on you!"

Is this a prank or what?
