Chapter 1
It all started as a regular day. Korzhik and Keks were eating cereal for breakfast, Bandit was reading a book, Bublik was planting something in the garden, Valera was swimming in the pool, and Shlepa was cooking dumplings. Everyone was busy with their own things. Draco was playing the guitar, and Spike was studying the language of ancient toys.
But suddenly, it got dark... Darkness arrived. And Darkness had a master – a terrible cat named Nightmare. He gathered his army of villains to destroy this world forever.
But the Soft Gang wouldn’t let him do that. They all got together and decided to fight him! However, Nightmare wasn’t scared of our heroes, as he was stronger and bigger than them. He fought back and thought he had defeated the Soft Gang forever. But our heroes didn’t give up and set out to find help.
Their first stop was the Witch’s house. At that moment, she was brewing a potion. Bandit greeted her and asked for help. The Witch said that only the Dragon’s Staff, which was hidden high in the mountains, could help them. But to reach it, they needed to collect ten unique magical flowers that give power and magic, and also pass through gates guarded by the Dragon.
Our heroes started their journey. The first thing they saw after covering a large part of the road was a clearing where Bublik was the first to spot a magical flower. No one was guarding it. It was a red, rainbow-colored flower with the power of fire. Bublik ran up to the flower, ate it, and became the Fire Master.
Next, the Gang went to a castle called "Turtlepunzel." But this wasn’t an ordinary castle. It only let in those who could solve its riddles. But the Soft Gang wasn’t scared and decided to try solving them all.
The first riddle: "Gray, but a man, made of iron, and can move." Our heroes quickly guessed it was a knight.
The second riddle was a bit harder: "At first simple, round, and orange, but once a year, it becomes scary and dangerous." But again, the Gang figured out it was Jack O'Lantern — a pumpkin lantern made for Halloween.
The third riddle: "Big, bright, gives light and warmth." Bandit immediately knew it was the sun.
When all the riddles were solved, a big cow came out to meet them. The Soft Gang fed her some grass and became friends with her. In return, the cow gave them the second flower, which had the power of the "eye of death." Keks ate it.
Then our heroes continued their journey. After crossing fields, forests, and a river, they arrived in the Land of the Dead. There, they met a gray cat named Osya, with wings and a halo. Bandit told Osya about their trouble, and the cat decided to help them in the fight against Nightmare because they were his family too.
Osya joined the Soft Gang, and as soon as they left the Land of the Dead, two parrots, Ronaldo and Messi, also joined them. The parrot brothers told the team where they could find the third flower — on Dragon’s farm.
On their way to the farm, they came across lava. Then Bublik said, "I’m the Fire Master, I can control fire and walk through lava!" He raised his hands and parted the lava, creating a path for his friends.
This challenge made the Soft Gang take a break. And just as they were resting, some hunters for magical flowers suddenly appeared.
The Soft Gang didn’t panic and fought back against the intruders, keeping their flowers. After that, they continued on their way and finally reached Dragon’s farm...
