The Madrigals were heading back to their home through the forest, along with the Silvestre family. Bruno leads the way in front, holding a torch that provides illumination to their route as they return.

Pepa, Félix, Julieta, and Agustín were following behind Bruno, side by side. The children trailed after the adults, with Secélia on the back carrying (Y/N) as she walked with Alma and Lucas.

Secélia had reluctantly accepted Alma Madrigal's request, viewing it as an opportunity to finally live in a home they desired.

She introduced the family to the Madrigals. They didn't seem to recognize their family name, which was a good thing.

As a Silvestre, they were well-known in their previous village before the marauders arrived to take over. They were known to serve the community.

However, as a result of the accident, her grandfather made a rule that the Silvestre family would no longer serve the villagers with their powers.

Some agreed with the patriarch's choice, but the majority didn't. Additionally, her grandmother was in opposition to his choice. Because of this issue, her grandfather and grandmother fought, causing the family to split into two stances.

They still live in the same house and go about their lives normally, but there was always a vicious tension between her grandfather's and her grandmother's sides whenever they were in the same room. The villagers were also disappointed and had developed a rivalry against them, calling them selfish.

It was horrible, really.

But thankfully, they were given another opportunity to live in peace. By accepting Alma's invitation, her children could live and enjoy their life. Instead of having to deal with adversity at such a young age.

They leave the towering trees of the forest. The children, except for Dolores, are astonished by the colorful town in front of them.

"Wow!" Lulu exclaims as she takes in the scenery. "This place is so gorgeous!"

The Madrigals smiled heartily in response to her comment. The people of the village were continually appreciating their lovely neighborhood. But they were grateful for every phrase, no matter how repetitious it was.

They have developed the town to where it is now, even with the assistance of the magical candle. And hearing visitors appreciate it makes them feel special.

Encanto appears to be a truly charming community. The bright hues of the town captivated them, even at night, when just the moon and lights from the houses gleamed above.

Bruno tosses the torch into a nearby river when they walk down the cobblestone street.

Luminous candle lamps placed on the houses guide the family along the cobblestone walk. Since the residents are sleeping, the village is peaceful in the middle of the night. Its flowers and trees have bloomed around the homes, and the cool evening wind caresses their petals and leaves.

As they walked through the town towards the Madrigal's home, the (h/c)-haired mother felt admiration and comfort.

She found refuge that the people who lived here weren't as numerous as those in the village from which they had fled from. They could start a new normal life here, where they could conceal their abilities.

The others were strolling calmly, whereas the children marveled at the village. But a small raven-haired boy was far too enthusiastic among the others.
