Epilogue: The River’s Whisper
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow upon the sacred river. Ganga, once a goddess, now stood on the banks, her mortal form aging gracefully. Her eyes held the weight of centuries—the laughter of godlings, the pain of separation, and the burden of destiny.
Prince Devavrata, now an old man, approached her. His once raven-black hair had turned silver, and the lines etched on his face told stories of sacrifice and honor. He had kept his oath, never claiming the throne, but his heart had always yearned for more.
“Mother,” he whispered, the word carrying lifetimes of love and longing. “Is it time?”
Ganga nodded, her gaze fixed on the distant mountains. “Yes, my son. The river’s course has shifted, and our fates entwine once more.”

As they waded deeper, the river whispered forgotten truths. Devavrata’s sacrifice had preserved kingdoms, but it had also fractured his soul. Ganga’s curse had shaped destinies, but it had left scars on her heart.

“I choose the river,” he declared. “To flow beyond time, to seek answers, and perhaps find redemption.”
