The First step is madness, the second is woe
The streets were silent in the wake of his words, none sure what to make of this angry lost god. And as the minutes ticked past, he seemed to grow in agitation; his tail flicking in annoyance, threatening to overturn a flower pot that was seated too close to him.
"Where is the bravery of mortals now?" And his voice was rolling and rumbling like distant thunder, causing a shiver of dark anticipation to roll up her spine in turn.
And it was that shiver that made her legs start to move of their own accord, bringing her closer to the creature whose eyes were now trained on her with a deadly intensity.
"Great spirit," her voice shook so badly that she had to pause to swallow down the lump of fear that was lodged in her throat. "What have we done to anger you?"
"The mortal filth that taints my waters." He replied with a snap of fangs, his words a snarl. "How dare you disrespect the land I gifted you with before my slumber."
Chihiro fought the urge to take a step back, holding her ground before the angry spirit. "I'm sorry." she told him, knowing the words were weak in the face of his wrath. "I can't change what's happened, but I can help fix it, if you'd let me."
Note: and now, slowly, we are starting to have plot emerge! thank you, TheSorrowfulVampress and Lyrainthedark, for staying up and drabbling with me as i exclaimed for the first time in months 'I have an idea! I must write!' Each chapter have 2 titles, the word title -ing words, and the actual title, which is a line of prose either I or someone I'm write with have come up it to describe each chapter. They are there as clues -take them as such.
