Maximillian awoke early, his excitement bubbling like a pot of cocoa on a winter morning. Easter had always been special in Bergen, especially with the famous egg hunt at Bryggen. He quickly dressed and dashed downstairs, greeting Sarah and Emily, who were already waiting with their bright, eager eyes.
«Today’s the day,» Sarah grinned, holding up a neatly folded map she’d prepared. «The annual Easter egg hunt promises to be full of surprises.» Emily adjusted her hat, smiling quietly, ready as always for the adventure ahead.
They hurried out onto the cobblestone streets, passing colorful wooden houses illuminated softly by the early sunlight. Arriving at Bryggen, they found crowds already forming, children laughing, parents chatting warmly. But something was off—people were murmuring anxiously, pointing toward an empty podium.
The trio approached the gathering crowd, overhearing fragments of concerned whispers. «The Golden Egg,» someone said worriedly, «has disappeared overnight.» Maximillian’s heart quickened; the Golden Egg was the centerpiece of the hunt, containing the legendary reward.
Exchanging determined glances, Maximillian, Sarah, and Emily knew this was more than a simple game. «We have a mystery to solve,» Emily whispered resolutely. Without another word, they began searching for clues at the scene.
