Chapter 2: Laugh and Joy

After 4 years —

On this day the sky covered in warm hues as dawn broke over the sleepy village . Soft yellow and golden light crept over the roof of

Casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets.

Mists rose from the nearby River Videnstream , veiling the village in an ethereal aura. Dew-kissed grass sparkled like diamonds and the scent of freshly morning flower blooming across the fields .

The village stirred their morning routine followed by the sound of blacksmith's hammer striking the anvil, ringing out a rhythmic vibrant sound .

Children's laughter echoed through the streets, mingling with the clucking of an animal which looked alike of the mixture of cat and sloth with fur covering the whole body moving slowly across the street and many children touch it fur time to time , playing with it .

As morning sunbeams danced across the village, the inhabitants of the village began their daily quests :

Knights preparing for patrols, hunters getting ready for hunting wild animals in the wild forest outside the village. Gardener getting ready with their container to go with the hunters for finding herbs required for making medicine.

Amidst this bustling activity, whispers spread among the village housewives.

**" Did you know that our young master can now speak fluently " **

**" What really our young master is just 6 years old and can already speak "**

**"I tell you , our young master is a genius"**

**" Yes, it's a joyous occasion"**

While they are talking with each other , in a beautifully designed house made of stones, with coloured walls . Although it's not a royal house but among all the house in the village it's the most beautiful house , with knights stationed at every door of the house and workers running with works at their disposal.

Inside a room, on the bed a small cute boy is reading a story book by himself while a maid is sitting on sofa, opposite to the bed looking after this boy .

At the age of 4, the boy started talking break down words , his parents started teaching more break down words. After an year the boy learned his name Ivon Rukwas and his gentle loving mother name is Evilia Rukwas . Her appearance can be described as heart shaped face with chiseled nose , brownish long hair and her dress shimmered in azure color with intricate embroidery on the hem of dress, while a silver belt clinched at her waist . Reflecting her simplicity and refinement and elegance in her walk .

While his father , Thomas Rukwas , a middle aged man with brownish beared and healthy packed body dressed in leather belt, knee high boots and a white linen shirt with billowy sleeves completed his outfit .

Ivon started learning about his family which is the richest house on this village and his father considered the Village Head . He leaned that there are 7 more village beside this village while our village had the most resources as it is surrounded by mountain from all directions which serves as resources like herbs for medicine , river enriching the life for all plants and irrigation for fields .

Those crystalline water weaving a lifeline through the village . As the gentle currents caressed the fields , the crops swayed giving a golden lusters giving a occupation and lifeline for all the family in the village .

This also helps the village to exchange material with the traveller who travels from one village to another .

Thus making this village , the richest among the other village . Seeing the growth everyone in this village named this village after my father , Thomalis Village .

And the forest and river outside the village is named Evory Forest and Evilyn River respectively.

Everyone including worker and maid loves their lovely cute Ivon ,who gives a fun joy in their everyday life .

Ivon after reading the story book, he went down the bed by himself , walked cutely with his thin cute legs infront of the maid .

" Umm.... Can I go outside to play " He asked cutely looking down on the floor to the maid .

Seeing this the maid heart melts , every cute action of Ivon melts their heart , they await for this cute action of Ivon everytime .

" Let me take you where you want to go but remember to not dirty your dress otherwise your mother will scold both of us " She replies with a smile on her face .

Hearing this Ivon cutely nods his head up and down quickly agreeing to it as he fears his mother's angry expression.

Then the maid grab one , short little cute white hand of Ivon and lead him outside the room . Along the straight path leading to outside .

" So what do you want to play " She ask Ivon.

..

" I want to play with Roniie" he replies excitedly after thinking.

Roniie is the name of the naughty newborn horse born from Maros .

Hearing Ivon word ,the maid start to worry as both of them are naughty this lead to dirty of Ivon's dress . And she get scolded by Ivon's mother everytime, she then denies but just like everytime .

Ivon started acting.....

**Sniff... ***

" Ok , ok , you can play but must take care of yourself otherwise I will take you back to the room " She tells quickly to stop Ivon sniffing .

Then both of them went towards horse shed and there they saw Roniie sleeping in the shed.

Seeing this the maid told Ivon " It seems Roniie is tired , Ivon we should back " , hearing no response she looked at Ivon but found he was not present , she get suprised and start searching for Ivon . Then she saw Ivon near the Maros, she saw Ivon trying to pull Maros but couldn't do .

She decided to keep watching Ivon ,what he will do !!! .

Ivon then pointed his finger towards Roniie and making some faces as if tell Maros something .

Seeing Maros not moving , Ivon then went towards Roniie as if calling him , seeing no response . Then he ran towards the house after sometime Ivon brought a carrot from the kitchen .

Then this the maid smiles ,

Hereby started playing with laughter and joy in Ivon's face while Roniie running after Ivon along with a heavy footsteps sound and neighing.
