Chapter 76: Another Side of coin (2)

In a peaceful corner of a two story house, a lively backyard hosted the blameless joy of youth.

Under a sky painted with tones of amber and lilac, a young lad of around 7 or 8 years, and a girl, just 5 years old, reveled in the magic of their mutual games.

Their laughter echoed like cheerful chimes through the air, bearing the promise of lifelong camaraderie. 

The boy's raven-black hair fluttered in the mild breeze as he chased the girl, his chuckles harmonizing with hers.

Their play unfolded among blossoming flora and the murmuring leaves of ancient trees.

With every skip, their fantasies conjured fanciful worlds, where mundane pebbles became enchanted gems, and mundane sticks became wands of unbelievable might.

As they played, the girl's pure giggles rippled like a calming melody. She darted playfully around the boy, her golden locks glimmering in the sunlight like strands of spun gold.
