To the story:

Jasmine moved through the woods of Encanto, like a shadow. Her black hair, tied up, flowed behind her, and her icy blue eyes scanned the forest floor, searching for rare medical herbs. Unbeknownst to her, a flicker of warmth danced within her palms, a power she kept carefully hidden – the ability to command fire.

She stopped lost in thoughts, by a small, flowing river, the silence broken only by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. A twig snapped behind her. Jasmine stiffened, her hand instinctively moving towards the small obsidian at her hip – the source of her power.

A tall man came from the shadows, he had wavy blonde hair styled in a mullet and piercing green eyes. His features were sharp and almost cold, yet there was a gentleness in the way he held himself. Jasmine’s breath hitched. He was breathtaking.

"Forgive me," he murmured, “I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Jasmine relaxed slightly. “You didn’t,” she replied, her voice cool and composed. “I heard you coming.”

He chuckled. "What are you doing so deep in the woods?" Jasmine looked at him before answering, "Collecting herbs... you?" She asked in reply. He chuckled again and answered, "It's a beautiful forest. I stumbled upon this place a while ago and now I find myself coming here whenever I have something on my mind."

"Yes, it's beautiful and very peaceful" Jasmine answered looking towards the river.

"Yes," he said, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. "I never seen anyone coming here but you." He extended a hand before Jasmine could say anything. "I'm Tyler."

"Jasmine," she replied, extending her hands to greet him. Her small hand was swallowed by his larger one. A jolt, like static electricity, passed between them, startled Jasmine retrieved her hand back and faced towards the river once again while Tyler just stared at his hand missing the warmth that her hand radiated, with a small smile on his face he too faced the river and enjoyed the view together with Jasmine with small talks here and there.
