Madeline:
Since the doctor told me everything, I ran to the library. I knew I had to get all the information about it, no matter what.
"The Holy Valley," the doctor had said.
I hurried inside and started collecting books.
The librarian helped me get my hands on books specifically written about the valley, even pointing out relevant chapters.
It wasn’t something hidden from anyone, so I started reading through them. Although the doctor had made it sound simple, it wasn’t.
The problem was that many people had claimed that when they went to the valley, they did not see the river.
I kept reading like a madwoman, again and again.
It seemed like this place truly existed. I just couldn’t understand why some people couldn’t see it.
They said that long ago, some people had claimed they were able to see that place.
But now, many people were claiming that when they visited it, they found nothing.
It was as if the site was hidden from them. It made me wonder if only a certain type of people could see it.
“That’s not a good thing,” I muttered to myself, flipping through the pages.
The only concern was that if it was indeed real, then I would need someone special to go there and get the water.
That was when a hand was placed on my shoulder, and I nearly jumped in panic.
When I turned around, I saw Byron standing there, raising his hands to show he meant no harm.
"Byron, I told you to go and stay with the kids," I complained almost instantly.
"Calm down. Sean arrived. He is with the children," he explained.
He added that his royal son was marching around the car with his toy soldiers.
I sighed in relief.
"What is going on? Did you find anything?" Byron asked, leaning down and placing one hand on the backrest of my chair and the other on the table.
"Actually, they are saying that only a special person can see the river," I said.
However, I noticed him giving me a very confused look.
"I mean, you are special, aren’t you?" he remarked.
Suddenly, I was in shock.
I mean, he wasn’t wrong.
“Weirdly enough, you have been the only one who has been able to help the children,” he spoke in a low whisper and gestured with his eyes, reminding me that my tears were important too.
"Do you think that would work?" I asked, worry creeping into my voice.
"Don’t worry, I will be," I reassured him before heading to the parking lot.
I kissed my children goodbye, then turned to look at Sean.
I assumed Byron had already told him that if I went on a mission, he would be tagging along with me.
"I have a car," Sean said, pointing at his car.
With a nod, I walked over and got into the passenger seat with him.
And our journey began.
It took us a few hours, and after a while, our cell phone signal stopped working. We hadn’t expected it, so we couldn’t even inform anyone where we were or how things were back home.
I just hoped everything was still fine.
"Don’t fret, you worry too much. The valley is not running away, so we have time."
For the first time, Mr. Sean, the silent one, spoke up, and it wasn’t what I expected.
I looked at him, and he gave me a cheeky grin before turning his gaze back to the road.
"I’m sorry," he said, realizing how crazy he sounded.
"Hey, look, isn’t that the sign made with the red tree mentioned in the directions?" I said, pointing at a distant mountain.
I could tell he realized we were heading in the right direction.
