The lost park

The delivery man Rudy was running through the lost town streets. His thoughts were scaring him even more. As he reached an old, forgotten park with a bag full of things, the wind suddenly blew, with a whisper that almost sounded like a call. Sunlight filtered through the hanging branches, creating patterns on the stone paths. Rudy moved even deeper, feeling an indescribable pull toward an old fountain in the center. As he got closer, the soft murmur of the water grew louder, almost musical. He pulled out a small pouch in his bag—an antique jewel he had found in a thrift shop, unaware of its significance. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and a glow surrounded the fountain. A figure stood before him, glowing and ethereal. She was dressed in a flowing gown, her long, black hair flowing like a river of silk. “I am Princess Amara,” she said, her voice a sweet echo that filled the air. “The Protector of this kingdom, I have waited a long time for a heart brave enough to hear my pleas.” Rudy’s breath caught in his throat. “I’m just a delivery man,” he stuttered. “What do you want from me?” Princess Amara smiled softly, her presence both calm and commanding. "It is not your rank that matters. But your soul. In my time I was a symbol of hope and courage that flourished among men. Yet betrayal cast me into this kingdom. She pointed to the fountain. A prison made of forgotten dreams. She felt a pang of empathy. What do you want? she asked. Curiosity lit a spark within her. I want to restore the love and unity that once flowed from my kingdom.
