The White Rose

Siwan's pov

 

We are waiting for Jiyong to come and tell him the story happened to him a while ago...

 

"You guys are here." He said while entering

 

"Good thing you're here." He added

 

"There is a man earlier that his peered to me and he seems to see me----" his sentence was cutted off by Yeon u. 

 

"*Sigh* listen to my story." She said as Jiyong nodded

 

"Have you ever wondered where you go when you die? Have you wondered what happens to your soul after you pass away? Some people believe that if they put something of value; like money, into a deceased person’s mouth that they will be able to ride the ferry with Charon, the man who takes the souls of the dead to the Underworld. This journey can only take place if the person has a proper burial with the coin in their mouth. If they did not have a coin buried with them they were sent to wander the banks of Archeon, grabbing at the ferry trying to seek their way into the underworld. After leaving the dock to journey to the underworld, Charon crosses the river of Acheron (the river of woe) where Cerebus stands on the bank as the eternal guardian of the underworld. His job is to let the of the dead in but never let them leave. The rivers start with Acheron, but then three others must be crossed; Cocytus, Phlegethon, Lethe, and then they all converge together at the end. Each one has a meaning. Acheron is the river of woe. Cocytus is the river of lamentation because those who were not buried properly were left at the dock to walk alone in the afterlife.There’s no doubt that The River of Styx possessed powers for all gods, demigods, and mortals alike when they die. To me, it can give people a sense of comfort by explaining how there is a boundary that separates the living from the dead. For the people who believe this to be true, it puts the mind at ease knowing that if they do place a coin in the deceased person’s mouth that the deceased will pass over no matter what. Another way to put the grieving mind to restfulness, is to believe that after the soul drinks from The River of Lethe, they forget the life they lived on earth and can start anew. They forget all the bad memories, terrible heartache, or people they once lost before them. It is like being reborn, but the life you are given will be eternal." Yeon U explained. 

 

"So you mean....I can drink from the River of Lethe? " Jiyong asked as I rolled my eyes

 

"No you can't. " 

 

"Wait.. There is a man earlier approach me and whispered something into my ears." 

 

"We saw that. That's why you need to be more extra careful." 

 

"Was that Charon?" 

 

"Ani. It was Lee Soo Hyuk. Lord Of the Underworld." I said as he shakes violently

 

"Who is Charon then?" He asked once again

 

"Charon (or KHARON) was the ferryman of the dead, an underworld Daiman (spirit) in the service of King Hades. He received the shades of the dead from Hermes, who gathered them from the upper world and guided them to the shores of the Akherousian. From there Charon transported them in his boat to a final resting place in Hades, the land of the dead, on the other side. The fee for his service was a single coin which was placed in the mouth of a corpse at burial, or there are two coins places on the eyelids. Those who had not received due burial and were unable to pay his fee, would be left to wander the earthly side of the Archeron, haunting the upper world as ghosts." I told him

 

"Who is king Hades?" He asked once again

 

"You clearly don't know about Underworld, don't you?" Yeon U asked irritably 

 

"King Hades was the King of the Underworld together with Lee Soo Hyuk. Those two was Devils." I told him
