Rivers of the Dead - 41. 4-10 - Unity

The whole Underworld bore witness to the union of Death and his psychopomp, together at last beneath the world of the living. A human warlock, dead, then alive, then dead again, entered The Underworld to become a guide to lost souls, a fate he understood better than most.

A martyr, sacrificing himself for the cause of love, sat atop the seat of Hate, and ruled with a fair and just hand, knowing that should his heart ever begin to give in to the energies of hate, love was just a ferryman away to heal his wounds.

And the world of the living paid almost no heed, knowing nothing of what happened beneath their feet. Though to a young couple, young being a relative term as the father was either fifteen or thirty, depending upon who asked, the world didn't move on right away.

They mourned the death of their friends, never knowing their fates, though life gave them a blessing which allowed them to remember those they'd loved and lost. A boy was born, who carried the names of Death and his lover.

And his melodic cries earned him all the love he needed to heal his once broken heart. His parents said he made beautiful music.

Thank you for the story! It took me a while before I truly connected because of Ethan since I felt very distant from him at the beginning, but I loved the story as a  whole, and the threads you wove throughout it. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm sorry I didn't respond to this earlier, I must've missed the notification. Ethan was directly inspired by someone in my life, and he always had a hard time making friends, so I can't say I entirely blame you. :-)

   This was a difficult series for me to read. To assimilate all the author's writing skill requires an intimate knowledge of both Ancient and Renaissance Mythology which I admit I do not possess. If I had that depth I am sure I would have been able to follow the author's pattern more closely.

   On the other side of the coin: the writing is excellent. It is a real pleasure to read an entire series without being inundated in grammatical error and spelling mistakes. The grammar here is perfect, the characterizations are excellent and the pace is appropriate to the subject matter, even with the 1,000 word limit for each chapter. All in all a superior effort, Cia. Congratulations and a resounding 'well done'.    

Mister will

I'm afraid I'm not quite cool enough to be @Cia, but that sounds like quite a fun story.

Just finished the story. It was a fun read! Didn't think anything about the baby since you made it pretty obvious that its Orpheus.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for reading and commenting. I'm glad Orpheus' identity was clear. ^_^

I read it all in a couple of hours! :D Passed out right after lol

It's one of my shorter novels, and definitely the one I wrote the quickest, so I think it's appropriate to digest it quickly too LMAO. :D
