"Eternal Branches: Chronicles of Yggdrasil"

On the outskirts of the small town of Dawnsinger, in the old manor house, a new life croaked in the first rays of the morning sun. Elena's face was filled with happy smiles as she gently held the newborn Mikaelle in her arms, feeling his faint but determined heartbeat, and said softly, 'Heavenly baby, from now on you will be called Vetril-Dawnsinger!'Gareth stood by the side, his eyes filled with gentleness and anticipation as he looked at this little life that had just come into the world.

Elena had long blonde hair that was as warm and bright as sunlight on a wheat field. Her eyes were a deep blue, as if they could see into the heart, full of tenderness and love. Her smile was always so bright, as if it could dispel all gloom. Gareth, on the other hand, was a tall, imposing man with dark, thick hair like the deepest ink in the night sky, and steely eyes that always showed a hint of tenderness whenever he looked at Vetril. His face was strong and well-defined, his high nose and firm jaw made him look even more majestic.

Vetril's eyes were tightly closed, his small nose and slightly open mouth made him look like he was in a deep sleep. Elena gently stroked his soft hair, her heart filled with motherly love. She knew that this child would bring endless joy and hope into their lives.

However, as time went on, Elena and Gareth realised that Vetril was different from other children. He always lay quietly in his crib and rarely cried. Whenever there was a sound or change around him, his body would tremble slightly, as if he was unusually sensitive to everything in the world.

Elena noticed Vetril's reaction and a twinge of worry welled up in her heart. She gently strokes his back in an attempt to soothe him.Vetril gradually calms down, but his eyes still follow the butterfly's path.

'Gareth, you see, Vetril is so sensitive to everything around him.' Elena said softly.

Gareth walked over and looked at Vetril's focussed eyes with some concern in his heart. He gently held Elena's hand and said, 'Every child is unique, Vetril is just a little more sensitive than other children. We will give him more love and care.'

Over time, Vetril began to adjust to this new world. He began to learn to roll over and grasp, and every little improvement delighted Elena and Gareth. Despite this, Vetril maintained his introversion and sensitivity.

At a family gathering where the manor was filled with laughter, Vetril was placed in a safe corner and quietly observed everything around him. When the guests burst into loud laughter, Vetril's body trembles slightly and a flash of unease passes through his eyes. Immediately sensing his discomfort, Elena gently picked up Vetril and carried him to a quiet room.

'Vetril, is the noise too loud for your comfort?' Elena asked softly, her voice gentle and caring.

Vetril looked at his mother, a hint of reassurance flashing in his eyes. He gently snuggled into Elena's arms, as if he had found a sheltered harbour.

Gareth walked into the room and saw the scene and a warmth welled up in his heart. He knew that they needed to take more careful care of Vetril and give him more security.

In order to deepen their bond with Vetril, Gareth and Elena started a series of fun activities.

One time Gareth laid the carpet with excitement and confidently announced, 'Today we are going to organise a family sports event! The event is - a crawling competition!' Elena couldn't help but burst out laughing while holding Vetril, 'Gareth, are you sure you can crawl and beat your own son?'

The race began. Gareth knelt on the floor and tried his best to imitate a baby's crawling, even making strange cooing noises from time to time in an attempt to attract Vetril's attention, but Vetril just lay on the carpet with a calm face, uninterested in Gareth's performance. Finally, in order to get his son to move, Gareth took out Vetril's favourite wooden horse and shook it on the other side of the carpet. As a result, Vetril finally unleashed his 'little motor', and with his little arms and legs working together, he climbed faster than Gareth. Gareth fell to the floor in a heap, lamenting, 'How can I not even compete with a baby?' Elena laughed on the sidelines.

Then there was the time on a sunny afternoon when the family decided to have a picnic on the lawn of the manor. Gareth had meticulously prepared a barbecue, confidently proclaiming, 'I'm going to show off my barbecuing skills today and show Vetril what the art of food is all about!' However, as he turned to get the seasonings, a mischievous beast suddenly hopped onto the grill, grabbed a piece of the roast, and flew away. Gareth exclaimed, 'My meat! That's my masterpiece!' Elena hurriedly stepped aside with Vetril in her arms, while little Vetril couldn't take her eyes of the 'great escape' and even giggled. The meat was gone, but the family's laughter echoed across the lawn.

Then there was the time Elena decided to teach him to draw. She took out a box of safe finger paints, dipped Vetril's little hand in the colours and pressed it onto a piece of white paper; Vetril seemed to like the sticky feeling and not only smeared the paper, but excitedly painted a circle of blue paint around his own face, making him a 'little blue-faced monster'. Gareth, looking at the scene, was inspired to paint his nose red and pretend to be a clown monster. Father and son looked at each other, and then Daddy Monster started chasing Baby Monster, filling the room with laughter and the smell of paint.

As these warm and funny days pass, Elena and Gareth realise that Vetril, although sensitive, is also full of delicate emotions. He responds deeply to every laugh and every warm touch. They begin to understand that Vetril's sensitivity may not be a burden, but a unique gift, a way of communicating with the world.
