Silence of River Styx

In the shadows of the Montezuma mountains there lies an ethereal river Ancient Greeks knew of it, and wrote legends, many which are lost. She is the River Styx. Where your soul travels beyond flesh death. It is a silent river; no words are exchanged. There is a somber feeling. A hushed atmosphere as boats carry away newly returned souls. An empath might hear the whisper of the paddles gliding in the water. Gaia listens as the water is dipped, and souls return to the underworld.
