River Lethe Novels & Stories

Leila heard the voice again. It was louder and clearer this time. Sla-thar.. It came from down below, but it was too dark to see anything from her current distance. A faint reflection of the moon loomed beside Leila as she sunk downwards, cradled in Thorn’s arms. Unlike the cold and remote moon in the sky, its silver light was blazing hot, like the sun hanging over a parched desert. The path ahead was endless. The farther they went, the less it looked like an underwater world. It was the fishy scent that reminded her that she was deep in a river.

He shook it off and prayed for her, hoping Jesus would protect her and keep her safe. _________ River cruises along Route 244 down until she reaches the T-type intersection and makes a left onto Highway 385. It was getting somber by the minute, the cold wind kissing her hair, and the dark desert highway with only the moonlight shining the way was captivating. She was listening to ‘Beyond the View by Chance Pena’. It was one of her favorite melancholic songs and the scenery before her, went perfectly well with it. She was going the speed limit because she wouldn’t dare take her chances hitting wildlife, road kill, or any type of debris, especially on a highway with no lights to guide the way.

The Ghost Escort kept glancing at Carl's wrist, because it was simple: any living spirit wishing to reach the River Lethe must forget everything from their previous life, and their body in the living world must die. In other words, the River Lethe has always been a one-way river with no return. Some people made it, but died as well; after drinking Lethe's Brew, they forgot everything. But this one was different. "Sir, we've arrived." The Ghost Escort stopped and looked toward the west. That river was unlike any in the living world; its water was a deep, inky blue, swirling with thick mist, as if trying to drag the soul of anyone

she said pointedly He exhaled. Eleanor watched him exhale.....Like he was dealing with a petulant child and she had half the mind to beat him silly right there, but he was the only living human asides her, in an unknown place. She didn't want his blood on her hands, if he had any, but boy wasn't that thought tempting?! "Walk through that path. It is the only way you can get to Lake Creek. This is as far as I can bring you" She couldn't help but raise a brow. He spoke. He actually knew more words than just basic greeting and stuff. Thank God!!! She turned to face the path in question

The girl he’d met by the river all those months ago was still there. Somewhere. “Then come with me,” she said. “All the way.” He exhaled slowly, then nodded. “North, then. To wherever the world began breaking.” They crossed the clearing hand in hand, the drowned following like a ripple behind them. The ground vibrated with distant thunder—not from the sky, but from deep underground. The Sea Gate was waking. And it remembered Mireya’s name. ---

Three points of the network oriented toward Reneth as we travel through the northern territory. The city is not what I expected. None of them ever are. Reneth is a river city — not a coastal river like Lorne, not the wide slow river of Mireth. A fast river, mountain-fed, the specific quality of water that has been coming down from height for long enough to have carved the valley it runs through. The city sits in the valley the river carved, with the specific orientation of a place that has understood from its beginning that its relationship with the water is primary.

Leesa had never been happier. She stood in one of her favorite places in the world—on a ledge near the top of a tall ridge overlooking the Moodus River, not too far from the volkaane settlement. Rave held her hand loosely, and despite the warmth of the beautiful October morning, she could feel his magical heat flowing into her.

"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?"

My legs tired as I raced to catch up to Fleki. The howls faded as we ran through the undergrowth back to our side of the boundary line. I could not believe we had been so careless. The banks of the River Lethe were just in front of us. As I crossed the icy cold waters, a wave of relief crossed over me. We had made it back safely and, more importantly, undiscovered. Fleki stood nervously waiting for his brother, terrified that he would not make it back to Ironside.

I said to her. “We are taught to stay away from the river so we don't get spotted and killed by a Dark Wolf clan,” I said. Donae shook her head. “That's probably a stipulation Yomen put to make you guys afraid of leaving your pack. You realize the truth. I should know, my mother left.” “Also,” she continued, “the River Tangen runs through all the shifter land. It flows from Visteria down to Lucid Lands, then Eucharia and peaks here in Wisteria. There's a waterfall.” Excitement shone in her eyes.
