Into The Riverlands Novels & Stories

But suddenly. “Mommy, Daddy.” A cry from a little girl echoes right in front of him and from the other end of the bridge. The night that is deep and quiet makes the crying echoes. The burning cars in front of them and the smell of intoxicating burns are raising. He stops crying, now pitying the little girl that just got his attention.

It keeps crossing all limits, all barriers to unite with the sea that is its destiny. I will keep flowing too until I meet my destiny. I promise…”

I strongly stated, "I'm not here to drag her back to Oliver. If anything, I'm trying to keep him from finding her. Please, Maia. Tell me where she went if you are worried about her and what will happen next." Maia's determination faltered, and I could nearly see it happen. With a trembling sigh, she fell onto the side of the bed, her shoulders hunched in surrender. With a voice hardly audible above a whisper, Maia admitted, "She didn't say much. However, I think she was moving west. Toward the Riverlands. She said she wanted to avoid Nightshade as much as possible." The Riverlands—a vast, dangerous area of neutral land full of rejects and rogues. Anna wouldn't live long without help if she w

Little by little darkness engulf the surroundings and this is the time that I wanted to take a walk around. I started walking into the forest where there is a stream. I want to hear the murmur of water and touch it. I have mastered the jungle and I am not afraid of danger to come because I am always prepared for what may happen. Eventually, I reached the stream. Its murmur sounded like music to me. I smiled and was eager to touch the cold water. I approached the stream with the desire to touch the water. The cold water brought me a strange joy. If my parents were still alive, they would be here to watch me swim and paddle in this stream.

She had been walking around taking pictures of wooden sculptures of creatures and human figures for a good hour and a half.

It is a wandering ground for souls awaiting to be reborn as animals. I don’t know what will happen, but a steep slope will take you to the lower part of the underworld. After you finish the River of Fire, it will split in two directions. One will take the souls who aren’t going to Tartarus to their afterlife.” “I think I can figure it out when I get there.” I said, but I didn’t feel confident. “What is next?”

Five small peaceful packs called this territory home. The residents operated as farmers and traders while they functioned as merchants who conducted business. The peaceful packs did not maintain military forces. They showed no interest in Council political matters. "Why the Riverlands? I asked, my blood running cold.
