The couple, who had been childless for over a decade, were walking through the woods when they heard a faint sound. It was a soft, mewling cry, like that of a baby.

Following the sound, they found a small, swaddled infant lying in the grass. The baby was serene and beautiful, with eyes that twinkled like stars. They felt an immediate bond and decided to take the child as their own.

The couple cared for the baby with all their heart, providing it with love and warmth. They named it 'Lys', meaning light, for the child brought a radiant joy into their life.

As Lys grew, they began to notice unusual things. The child never cried, instead, it hummed melodious tunes that made the flowers bloom and the birds sing along. The couple realized that Lys was no ordinary child.

One evening, while they were sitting outside, Lys levitated a few inches off the ground. Their hearts filled with wonder and fear, the couple understood that Lys was a heavenly creature.

They promised to keep Lys's secret and protect the child. Years passed and they lived happily, cherishing their time with Lys. The child grew, bringing joy and miracles into their lives.

One day, a majestic creature descended from the sky. It was an angel, come to take Lys back. The couple were heartbroken, but they understood that Lys belonged to the heavens.

The angel thanked the couple for their love and care for Lys. As a token of gratitude, the angel blessed them with eternal youth and happiness. With a final smile, Lys ascended to the heavens.

The couple lived the rest of their lives in peace and harmony. They missed Lys, but they found solace in the miracles that the child had left behind.

The woods around their home bloomed year-round, the animals lived in harmony, and the air was always filled with the sweet melody that Lys used to hum.

Their lives had been touched by a miracle, a heavenly gift they had named Lys. Their love for the child had brought them eternal happiness and peace.

While Lys may have returned to the heavens, the couple knew that the child's love and light would forever remain with them, illuminating their lives.
