Chapter 1
Today is Easter Day – well, for those who come from The Surface. There is no such thing as Easter in Slugterra. So, Junjie and I establish the Eastern Day. This holiday is quite the same as Easter. People decorate their houses and caverns with beautiful flowers and floral decorations. Everyone loves it.
There is an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids to play, including the siblings of the Shane Gang. All the kids wear cute bunny ears and carry baskets. Once the egg hunt starts, the children go out to search for Easter eggs, which are colourful chocolate eggs. Each egg is painted with different colours and patterns, and they are unique. They have bright colours like red, pink, orange, yellow, light green, sky blue and light purple. Their patterns range from floral to swirls – anything that relates to nature and life. The children cheer and sequel in delight as they find the Easter eggs.
As the Shane Gang's siblings are finding Easter eggs and collecting them, Jie and Jia are searching the Easter eggs together. Just then, Jia trips something and falls forward.
"Jia!" her twin brother shouts as he goes over to help her up. "What happened?" he asks her.
"I tripped onto something," Jia explains. The twins look down and see a rusty handle stuck out from the ground.
"What is that?" Jie wonders and grabs the rusty handle. He tries to pull out but no avail. Then, Jie makes an idea on how to get the rusty handle out from the ground.
He blows a whistle to call out his bonded animals. Three Slug Hounds appear as they hear his whistle. Jie tells them and points at the rusty handle as he commands them to dig up. The Slug Hounds begin to dig where the rusty handle is. Then, they stop digging and pull a small chest that is attached to the rusty handle from the right side of the chest.
The twins are surprised to see the chest. Jie thanks the Slug Hounds and tells them that they may leave now to the wild. As the three Slug Hounds leave, Jia wonders why the chest was buried. "I do not know," Jie replies. "I guess someone or somebody buried here and left."
Jia stares at the chest in a few moments. "The chest looks so old as if it's been buried for over centuries," Jia says.
Jie notices the lock on the front chest. Wanted to open it to see what's inside the chest, he activates his left wrist blaster and uses the blade to slice the lock, and destroy it.
Jie opens the chest, what's inside the chest is a single book. "What is it?" Jia asks her brother. Jie grabs the book. He closely examines the book and it reveals to be a journal. Before they can open the journal's cover page, the twins hear their older brother, Junjie calling them. They decide to keep the journal and read it later as they go to their brother.
Later, in Junjie's house, the Shane Gang's siblings have found a lot of Easter eggs with different types of colours and patterns. "You all are good at finding Easter eggs," Eli tells the siblings of the Shane Gang.
"Finding eggs are quite easy," Sapphire tells Eli, in which the Shane pats her head in reply.
Then, night comes. In the twins' bedroom, Jie and Jia are sitting on their bed that they share. They are staring at the journal that they have found from the buried chest.
"Who owns the journal?" Jia wonders.
"I don't know who owns the journal," Jie replies to her. "I guess that the owner of the journal already passed away since it's been centuries ago."
Then, Jie opens the cover page of the journal and a photo falls out of the journal. The photo lands on the floor. Jia picks it up and looks at the photo. To her shock, the photo is a photo of the twin ancestors: Yan and Yin!
"What is it?" Jie asks his sister, which Jia shows the photo of Yan and Yin to her twin brother. Jie is shocked to see the photo. Then, Jie and Jia soon realize that the journal they found belonged to their ancestors from thousands of years ago!
"Why Yan and Yin placed their journal in the chest and buried it?" Jia begins to wonder.
"I do not know why," Jie answers. "We will read and find out about our twin ancestors' lives."
