A River Runs Through It Novels & Stories

“I always thought that the water’s filtered from the river.” “It is not advised for Letush to take water from the river because Heruba’s swamp is before the village, many years ago,” Darrion explained. “But there was already a filter before the village after that, devised by the previous Prime Minister. There’s this rune like thing that I don’t know how it is used nor I see it with my own eyes. But it’s there in the river, and it filtered water that flows to your village.” “This is the first time I heard about this,” Jai said. “You are actually quite knowledgeable, you know that? You can woo girls with that abundant knowledge of yours, you know?”

The eruption of briskly moving water cut through her raspy breaths as Rain realized they were nearing what had to be a large river in front of them. She imagined it had to be the River Red, but there was no capacity left in her lungs for words. Running at full speed for hours had taken away all conscious thought, all ability to speak or think or pray. The only thing she was capable of at the moment was putting one foot in front of the other as rapidly as humanly possible. And judging by the pain in her muscles and the spasming in her feet, that possibility was about to dry up.

* Rufias huffed in agreement, relaying my instructions. 'The River', which we'd never bothered finding a name for or learning if it had one – as it was the only river so near to our village – was about fifteen yards across and of moderate depth. In a strong rain the current could threaten to pull under and drown a full-grown wolf, but was otherwise not much of a danger to anyone older than an adolescent. Occasionally bits of human trash could be seen floating by, and while that would never cease to bother me we had since learned that no one of them actually stayed near our community. At least not for very long.

Hunter- As I crossed over the water of the Lethe River, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I had to strain to endure it for a day, but as long as I lay at the bottom of the boat and held on for dear life, I was fine. I managed to reach the next River without any problems other than being exhausted.

Anahita Waterwolf POV We waterwolves have resettled on the banks of the Dream River that runs through the place once known as the Barren. Though to use the word 'barren' in relation to this magnificent place feels ridiculous. Many mornings I sit on the balcony of the packhouse, before the pack stirs, gazing out at the churning, roiling, foaming waves of the river, its banks densely packed with rich, dark mud. The colours of the river at dawn--blue, mauve, purple, indigo, green--remind me of the lifestone and that night when the poison was driven out. The lifestone disappeared, it's work done. And Silvia's iron--the physical iron anyway--was also gone.

"Uhm sometimes, the Alpha overworks us." "I don't think i like our Alpha very much," Ro huffed. "No, i mean i overwork myself too much. Appreciate the alpha, he's a great person," he said quickly, making Ro look at him skeptically. "So you found the river at the library?" he continued speaking. "I read about it there. The river is the only place that comes from the Artemis waterfalls. I heard that place is beautiful," Ro sighed. "It is," he replied absentmindedly. "Hmm how do you know?"

But I'm not sure if I went the right way based on the map that serves as my guide. I took a deep breath and felt the surroundings. I didn't feel anything strange so I continued walking until I reached a river. I was happy to see it because I confirmed to myself that this is the right map I'm following. I'm getting closer to the river and I must admit that the face of this river is scary. Anyone would hesitate to cross because the bridge over it is small and broken. Its color is a mixture of black and blue. But if I don't cross this river I cannot continue my journey to Ethiopia. I took a deep breath and dared to step onto the bridge but before I could go further, I was shocked when the water

She took the opportunity to run away. Alexis instincts felt sharper with every footstep that led her to keep running there. Alexis focused herself and heard the sound of the river flowing within the forest area. Alexis didn't understand what was happening to her at all. Once again Alexis was just trying to follow that instinct that came out of nowhere. But when Alexis was near the river that flows very fast there, Alexis began to understand. That might just be one way that could take him away and away from Adrian. At least for now on. Srak

What they said didn't only affect Jimmy, it affected him too. 'It's not right for two men to love each other. The Moon Goddess would never pair two men together...' Those words affected over half of the people that lived here, at River Thorn pack.

Tate’s worried expression greeted me. I forced a smile. I have to show that I am strong and that I can temporarily be their source of strength while we are still looking for Alpha Lennox. “You okay?” “I am. Thanks for the clothes.” He glanced at me. “It fits.” Looking around, I asked, “Where are we again?” “The Dark River. One of the deepest rivers in the country.” The Dark River was rumored to be the most number of people having suicidal attempts by throwing their own car here.
