The Sun Chariot had already reached the west, and the afterglow of the sunset painted the earth with a layer of golden varnish. The Afterthinker's residence wasn't far from the human tribes, yet it was separated by a wide river.
This river had been born at the turn of an era, as a result of the residual effects of two Ancient Gods clashing; hence, it had no River God. Instead, a double-headed beast tainted with the blood of the Sea God occupied it.
Under the intimidation of the beast, there were no traces of human activity in this place, even though it was only separated by one river.
But today, three distinct-looking but splendidly dressed goddesses arrived here. They were clad in gemstone-studded gowns, crowns of flowers on their heads, and holding bouquets, radiating an aura of beauty and joy.
When they stood together, even the deserted riverbank seemed like the site of a winding streamside feast, eliciting a sense of heartfelt pleasure.
