He reached out his small hands to the hems of the girl's dress. Feeling a small tug, the girl turned her focus from the butterfly to the small boy behind her. She let the butterfly flew away as she crouched down in front of the young Arnettia.

In a blink of an eye, Arnettia was back drowning in the middle of the earlier flood. He couldn't breathe this time, and he was soaked too. Poking his head out of the surface, he was slapped back down by the dancing waves.
