Not a price of coins. That wasn't Mike's style. He liked telling facts about the river and the afterlife in general. As they sailed across the river, Mike told them all he knew about their friends. "Wait... isn't a guy named Charon supposed to be doing this?" Charlotte asked. "I'm working my shift and he works his. Charon's isn't until next full moon though." Mike said. "Oh."

"So... are we dead or not?" Reza asked. "Both. You haven't been counted or signed as dead, but you still ended up in the underworld. You are merely between the two. It's odd. I'm worried for you guys. What happened?" Mike asked.

"Long story." Reza piped up before Amani or Charlotte said anything. "Tell me then. We have plenty of time." Mike said. The three explain the horrors. "Oh dear. I believe we should get you back to life as soon as possible. I think that was an unfair death, but others may not see eye to eye." Mike warned.

He handed each of them a sword. "We're here. Stay safe. Beware of the Ruinquakes." He warned as they reached a shore and stepped off. "A WHAT?" Amani yelled but he sailed off.
