Two Elysians appeared at the river bank the moment they concealed themselves.

"Are you sure that you saw people here?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I heard something."

Frustration flashed across the first Elysian’s face upon hearing the answer.He strode toward the River of Styx.

"They're seeking death by coming here! Do they want to add to the number of dead bodies floating down this swamp?" he cursed, evidently annoyed.

Vivian was perplexed, but she instinctively cowered in fear when she heard the malice in his voice.

Her involuntary action caused her to brush up against the person next to her.
