People grew desperate, so they started digging into the dry riverbed in search for the <strong>soul of the river<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They hoped that, by finding the soul, they could bring life to the river again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, they found a hidden spring, and this enraged the river gods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gods sent the rain, but not the life-giving kind. A massive flood ended up drowning everyone except two people,<strong> Wigan and Bugan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&rsquo;t so much a warning against corruption but against overstepping boundaries and thinking that we have the power to control nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.
