First Night

In the heart of the moonlit forest, the companionship of Derek and Katherine took on an enchanting quality. Derek sat cross-legged on a moss-covered rock, his dark robes gently fluttering in the night breeze. His posture was one of serene concentration as his power surged and pulsed around him, contained yet potent. The silver glow of the moon enhanced the aura of power that enveloped him.

Katherine knelt by the campfire, the two rabbits that Derek had skillfully caught suspended on makeshift spits over the flames. Her nimble fingers worked deftly, rotating the skewers to ensure the meat was cooked to perfection. The firelight cast a warm, flickering glow on her face, accentuating the grace and determination that defined her.
