"What… What do you mean, father?" Raphael looked at his father with a heartbroken expression. "My wife, Rowena, she's gone. That was the River of Death that grants peace to those who no longer want to live."
His Rowena must have suffered so much that she no longer wished to live… not even for him.
Raphael's fists clenched to the sides when he thought about what she went through.
"The River of Death kills and takes away immortality from a god, however, you misunderstand that it actually does not kill them permanently. Rowena's soul will continue to exist and be reborn in a new realm. She will live a mortal life."
"You mean she will be reborn as a human again?" Raphael asked fervently.
"Human. Mermaid. Elf. And many other possible mortal lives are present for those who leave the life of immortality. We do not know where the River of Death will take her until she is reborn," The King of Cretea said.
