Sory challenge 1

It has been a long time since we played together.
I propose to create a series in cooperation.
The principle is simple, everyone is free to create a sequel to the story, as they wish.
You just have to announce it in the comments.
I propose you two starting hanjies, to give some elements of decor. This one, number 1 and then number 2. It's up to you to create number 3 and the following ones. I suggest working in 25 x 25, a more flexible format for the greatest number, but why not smaller hanjies also ? The game is open to our English-speaking friends, of course.

Jane and Nico live in a charming village on the banks of a river. Life is calm, lulled by the rhythm of the flowing water...
