No One

The sun hung high in the sky, casting long streaks of gold across the garden. Lush greenery stretched out, swaying gently with the summer breeze. Birds chirped from the branches above, filling the air with their carefree songs. The soft scent of blooming jasmine lingered in the warmth.

Delphinia's laughter rang out, bright and innocent, as she ran across the garden path with Lyvia trailing behind her. Their small feet crunched on the gravel, kicking up flecks of dust. Delphinia glanced back over her shoulder, a wide grin on her face.

"Come on, Lyvia! You have to catch me!"

Lyvia's giggle echoed, her golden curls bouncing with each step. But her little legs struggled to keep up, her face flushed with effort. The uneven ground caught her foot, and with a startled yelp, she tumbled forward, falling onto the grass with a soft thud.

Delphinia's heart leapt. She spun around, rushing to her sister's side.
