Chang'e was the youngest disciple of the Great Dragon. She was a brilliant and powerful mage, and she quickly mastered the Great Dragon's greatest spell, the Sacred Stellite. The Great Dragon was very proud of Chang'e, but he was also worried about her. She was a very headstrong and impulsive young woman, and she often got into trouble.
One day, Chang'e was playing with her pet rabbit, the Moon Rabbit, when they accidentally swallowed one of the Great Dragon's sacred pills. The pill was supposed to grant the Great Dragon immortality, but it had the opposite effect on the Moon Rabbit. It turned the Moon Rabbit into a giant, powerful monster.
The Great Dragon was furious. He ordered Chang'e to kill the Moon Rabbit, but Chang'e refused. She knew that the Moon Rabbit was not evil, it was just scared and confused. Chang'e decided to help the Moon Rabbit find a way to control its newfound power.
Chang'e and the Moon Rabbit traveled the world together, searching for a way to help the Moon Rabbit. Along the way, they met many challenges, but they also made many friends. Zilong, the Great Dragon's adopted son, became a close friend of Chang'e's. He helped her to train her magic, and he also helped her to protect the Moon Rabbit from those who would seek to harm it.
Eventually, Chang'e and the Moon Rabbit found a way to control the Moon Rabbit's power. The Moon Rabbit returned to its normal size, and it was no longer a threat to anyone. Chang'e and the Moon Rabbit returned to the Great Dragon, and they were welcomed home with open arms. The Great Dragon was so proud of Chang'e for helping the Moon Rabbit, and he gave her his precious Crescent Moon to protect her.
Chang'e and the Moon Rabbit continued to travel the world together, helping those in need and spreading peace and goodwill. They became known as the Guardians of the Moon, and they were beloved by all who knew them.
