Chapter 216: Journey Begins Again

"Goddess of Underworld? Are you being serious?" Siroos's befuddlement was visible on his face. He didn't reveal that he had most probably already met her minions. 

"That's what he said, we don't know how true it is. Maybe that's the reason we live in these frozen cursed lands. She left and returned to the Underworld or wherever she had come from."

"I see, it could be true." Siroos knew this was not the first time a goddess had fallen for a mortal man and tried to build her life. He wondered what their story might be. It was tragic though that she didn't succeed. 

"Yes, but that tree hasn't sprouted in a very long time, so good luck." The old man rolled back the cloth and handed it to Siroos. 

"Thank you! We would be leaving, and have a very long journey ahead of us." 

Siroos stood up and shook hands with the man.
