Chapter 1: The Story of Playtime Land
Once upon a time, there was a place called Playtime Land. This is the kingdom where all creatures were allowed to live freely and happily. There are species called the Wuggies, who spread happiness through hugs and kisses, making them the happiness ambassadors. The tribe of Long Legs are construction workers because their long limbs help build homes for newcomers. The Swap-imals act as cleaners who keep the kingdom healthy and clean for everyone. Flower residents like Daisy, Rose, and Cosmos act as gardeners and farmers. Others who live in Playtime Land work as entertainers, teachers, cooks, bakers, inspectors, and more. Each resident was given the purpose of serving their home, the kinds they wanted and needed.
The crowned princess, Poppy Playtime, is housed in the Playtime Castle. Though small and young, she held great power in wisdom, courage, heart, and leadership. Her people loved and respected her and expressed gratitude through their occupations and hobbies to help her continue her mission to make her kingdom at its best.
Until one day, the skies in Playtime Land turned dark. The air became red as a poppy flower. The once fair and sweet Poppy turned into a twisted and wicked tyrant. Some of the residents turned into bloodthirsty monsters. The rest fled the once prosperous Playtime Land.
As years passed, rumors began to spread about what happened during that day, now known as the Day of Terror. One rumor mentioned that Poppy has an evil twin sister pretending to be her to take her rule. Another rumor is that an evil entity is controlling Poppy. A certain one mentioned how she was encased in a prison by her own transformed people so they could take over. No matter if the rumors were true or not, no one ever dared to venture through the ruined Playtime Land because of the possible evil that could happen in the abandoned sunless landscape.
But not all hope is lost. There is a prophecy that will determine the fate of Playtime Land. It is saying as follows:
"A Vanilla Sun Knight will lead to heed the call.
A Lavender Moon Knight will awaken to prevent evil's brawl.
A Peppermint Thunderbolt Knight shall race into action.
A Citrus Apple Knight shall devour the sinister malefaction.
A Ylang-ylang Star Knight will provide confidence and courage.
A Rose Heart Knight will spread hope with love that encourages.
A Jasmine Flower Knight shall create colorful hope.
A Lemongrass Lightbulb Knight shall bring knowledge for a new era in rope.
These Smiling Critters will retore Playtime Land,
As they come together, hand in hand."
A decade later, our story begins with how our heroic Smiling Critters will meet before they start their journey.
