+The River of Souls flows to the other side, wrapped in the land's night,\\
+Broad, slow, an eternal and silent sight.\\
+It belongs to all in this world that has life,\\
+All of which flows downstream, converging as one.
+The master of the nether realm, Thanatos,\\
+Enshrouds themself and the souls within the Moon Cocoon.
+The dragon, born from the cocoon, carries a girl,\\
+soaring upstream the River of Souls, defying its eternal flow.

+Their connection flows tighter than blood,\\
+And the key that opens the netherworld's gates,\\
+Is the sister's selfish plight.
+Back then, the boreal winds cut through to the bone.\\
+Back then, death was a bitter and stabbing fright.

+In the nether realm without an earth or sky,\\
+A flower named <color #993333>Antila</color> blooms,\\
+its beauty witnessed by but one soul.
+//<color #efe4B0>"You are the quiet in my heart amidst the chaotic choreography."</color>//\\
+The younger sister scores through the blooming <color #993333>Antila</color> fields,\\
+Never finding that promised dark blue sprig.
+She silently made up her mind.\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"Death. Leave all your dark nights to me,\\
+And save the dawns for her."</color>//
+The younger sister gazes at the Moon Cocoon high above,\\
+And plans a trip to the mortal realm, a distant flurry.

+A bard once sung to musical notes:
+//<color #efe4B0>"Do not turn back. O do not turn back.\\
+The long hand of shadow will retain the dead behind their gates."</color>//
+The giant dragon born from the Moon Cocoon\\
+Willingly offered itself as the enduring barge of the River of Souls.
+//<color #efe4B0>"No need to turn back. Oh, no need to turn back.\\
+{{ :readable:saga:servant.of.death:castorice5-3.png?200|}}
+That price had long been paid for you by someone else."</color>//[(Spoken by Polyxia.)]
+The dragon lowers its long neck,\\
+And places the girl on its back.\\
+In slumber, she will unknowingly greet\\
+The dawn of her rebirth.

+The dragon flaps its wings,\\
+In the chilly gloom of the floating dead, upstream.
+Ferrying from purity into grime,\\
+Going from silence into roaring boom.
+The souls of countless poets flounder past,\\
+Their distant rhymes endless like foams:
+//<color #efe4B0>"Do not turn back.\\
+{{ :readable:saga:servant.of.death:castorice5-4.png?200|}}
+For to look toward the land of mortals, is in itself turning back."</color>//
+In this pale dawn,\\
+The sun's first rays light the night ablaze.\\
+So the dragon crosses the Sea of Souls,\\
+Onto the shores of life, and strands itself in the gleam.

+We know not where\\
+These stories arise.\\
+They are scattered across the shallows with the waves.
+The confession the girl made before her departure,\\
+Still echoes in the tides' heaves.

+May it find a soul to remember.</color>//
