Vivian had heard it too.

Her mind went blank as trepidation seized her.She mindlessly let Jason pull her toward the tall reeds, where they crouched for cover.

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.
