---- Tt isnt just any river Robin.

Its called the river of death for a reason.

Its said that no one has ever drowned into it and got back alive.

Some even say a darkness lives under it which tries to pull all the things of light in it.The seal idnt the only opening to the Land of Darkness.

At old times, the river of death was.

Everyone has heard about it so no one ever goes into the deeper water." Lucass words repeat in my mind.

He...

He said the seal isnt the only opening.

In old times? The river of death was.

So does this mean that if I drown in it....

I may get teleported to the land of darkness? My palms turn clammy as I stare at the brutal undercurrent of the water.

I don't even know how to swim...

Its like a suicide mission.

What if there is no opening under it? But I saw that darkness the last time.

This is my last option.

I have to hurry up.

I take a step closer to the banks of the river and then with a deep inhale Tleap.

---- Chapter 362 The legends of the land of darkness weren't a lic.

Those who have lived in it, knew it was as real as the existence of life.

The river of death whispers, but only to those who want to listen A dark entity lurked at the riverbed, a keeper of secrets and a gateway to the Land of Darkness.

A place between life and death.

This was the same darkness that took Adrian to the land of darkness, the same darkness which resides the demons of death and made him strike a deal with them.

No one who ventured into its depths had ever returned, swallowed whole by its inky embrace.

But Zariyan wasnt seeking a way back.

She was searching for her mother.

A there was only this darkness that can take her to her.

---- The icy water hit her like a wall of needles, forcing the air from her lungs.

She had almost forgotten how it felt to sink in the water, but now that she was here? The fear that had gripped her that day? Was back.

And only a hundred times worse because there wasn t any Damien to save her today.

The current twisted around her limbs, dragging her into its cold, relentless depths and this time she didn't struggle against it.

She allowed the ruthless water to take her wherever it wanted.

Tier eyes darted into the murky waters, but light was going farther and farther away from her.

Letting her arms float aimlessly in the water, she sees the little breaths of air stored in her lungs, escaping her lips in the form of bubbles Tt wasn't far.

Death was very near.noveldrama

And this time she was ready to embrace it.

Deeper...

more deeper.
