＊The Unexpected＊
Yet another beautiful day in the Regalian park, Melodina was on a local park bench, reading to herself as her niece and nephew were doing silly games among one another. The Auntie not paying much attention to the young lively couple noticed a very dirty, and ragged man walking around and asking the passerbys for a regal or two. Getting note of this, the woman called the two over, and said quite sternly to them to walk away if the man came near them. Both of them hesitantly nodded to one another and scurried off to play once again.
But then, a tragic accident occurred whilst the two were doing silly acts near the pond. They fell in with a splash and upon hearing such an alarming sound, Melodina jumped up and hurried to the pond to look at what was happening. To her sight was the two splashing in the water and giving slight cries of help. Melodina looked around; praying and hoping someone would jump in and rescue the two.
She was on the breaking point of tears until the same peasant-looking man that she caught a glimpse of earlier jumped in and swam towards the two. He successfully pulled the both of them out of the murky pond. Melodina was somewhat relieved but felt so unexpected to see that man saving two children he didn't know. She rushed over and held the two in her arms in a warm embrace. The children weren't crying but laughing surprisingly. Melodina looked up at the man in surprise and nodded before scurrying off with the children in her arms.
