The people of the kingdom also worried because there was no heir to inherit the throne. One night, everything changed. The queen had a strange dream. In the dream, she stood in the middle of a shining river under the moonlight. She cried and begged the river goddess to bless her with a child.

The queen woke up trembling and immediately told the king about the dream. After listening carefully, the king decided they should travel to the sacred river and seek the favour of the river goddess.
