cardinal brook

This is perhaps the most frightening and disturbing place in all of Breathe. Some say it’s also the most haunted, due to the story of the river’s red color. According to legend, there were once two love-struck wolves that cared deeply about each other, but one was mated to a wolf she didn’t love. When the female’s mate refused to give her pups because of the fact he hated them, she left and got pregnant with her true love because she was angry with her mate. Returning to her mate, he smelled the other wolf on her and drowned her in the river. It is said that her bleeding heart stained the rocks red. When her true love saw that her mate had drowned her, he killed the other wolf and then himself. On a full moon, exactly at two o’clock the river runs red with the blood of the lovers and their cries are heard over the roar of the water. Pups must stay away from this river at all costs, for if they don’t, the male mate’s spirit lives in the river and will drown any pup if he ever gets the chance.
