Smitty, a leprechaun by trade, was tired of always being the butt of jokes. You see, Smitty happened to be an outlier amongst the leprechauns. Most of them by their 70th birthday have secured their pot of gold. Unfortunately, for Smitty he has yet to find the end of his rainbow for his gold. At first, he was very determined to secure his rank amongst his clan. But, as the years went on, Smitty grew more and more weary of searching, and then eventually so embarrassed he finally decided to give up all together. Leprechauns, known mostly for their love of pranks and societal emphasis on money, have made it commonplace to use Smitty as the subject of all their practical jokes. Finally, on the eve of his 120th birthday, Smitty has gone to the council to ask permission to venture out of their mystical land to find his rainbow and retrieve his pot of gold. Of course, this is in hopes of becoming a respected member of his clan and no longer be laughed at.

Now with the permission of the elders, Smitty has set out on his first journey outside of his homeland in decades. His first foray into the world has him entering the magical forest of Maith Agus Olc. For a while, Smitty has enjoyed his time in the forest. He has seen many creatures for the first time since he was a little boy. The sound of the wind, the smell of the plantation, the sight of Unicorns has given him a sense of admiration and reassured him of his decision to follow his dreams of reaching his pot of gold. But, as life goes, it was far too soon to celebrate. As he crossed over the bridge of Idir, things suddenly took a turn for the worse. Gone were the senses of happiness and calmness and a shutter of fear crawled up his spine. The sight of beautiful creatures and flowers have suddenly turned to the dark and dreary view of what the goblins call home. As Smitty continues to make his way through the forest hoping to go unnoticed, a skeleton witch appeared out of no where. “My, my, where do you think you’re off to little leprechaun?”

Smitty, smitten with fear could barely speak. He has never encountered a witch before. He finally is able to muster up the courage to speak. He asks the witch to let him pass for this is his last chance at finding his gold and returning home with his dignity. “Now, now, I cannot let you pass through so easily. But, if you are able to defeat Peyton, a centaur, in a boxing match I will let you out of the forest.” Smitty realizing he has no choice reluctantly agrees to these terms. As he approaches Peyton he is suddenly overcome with fear. Unable to think of a clever way out of this he turns to the one thing that has worked in the past. He plays dead. Luckily, Peyton isn’t very bright and known for being easily gullible, he thinks he has actually scared Smitty to death. He turns and starts to walk away. That’s when Smitty uses his ability to teleport into the air. He starts to come crashing down towards Peyton which will surely knock him out. But, just like how the witch came out of no where, Leroy, a dwarf, suddenly interferes. Leroy using his magical umbrella of cooties was able to protect Peyton and send Smitty flying hundreds of feet away.

Startled by this new predicament and knowing he has no way out of this, Smitty starts to quickly think of a way to get the dwarf on his side. He remembers that the one thing dwarves love more than themselves is money and offers him 20 % of his gold when he finds it. Leroy jumps at the idea of getting so much gold for nothing and decides to let him pass. As Smitty finally starts to make his way out of the forest he hears Keith, the witch, yell. He had not defeated Peyton, and is not allowed to exit the forest. He starts to make a dash for the faint light he sees at the end of the forest. Just when Keith was about to get his hands on him, Smitty made a last ditch dive to get out of the forest. He did it! He was able to successfully make it through the forest. As he gathers himself, and wipes the dirt of his clothes he notices something above him. A trap that had caught a bunny in the shape of a human. “Please, help me. I’ve been stuck in here for days.”
