where the sun goes down -and stays down - mysteries
They sat there together in silence for a time that she could not place before Kohaku finally stood, shaking out his fur in a movement that rippled down his spine. "We should find you more suitable attire -there will be many in the coming days who will wish to meet with the Bride of the Water God, and many more that will come to beseech of you."
She felt panic bubble for a moment at his words. "Beseech of me? What does that even mean?"
He did not seem at all perplexed by her question. "It means that you now hold the power of a river -and have power over a river god. If any were to sway my will it would be you. And as such -if it so pleased you to do so- you could grant favors. And blessings."
She looked at him for a long moment -warily appraising and still unsure what to make of the dragon that stood before her.
"I don't know if I'm worthy of that kind of power." she admitted after a long moment. "I'm only human."
His laughter was still strange to her, still sounded dangerous in ways she didn't understand -coming from the mouth of a beast. "None will question your worthiness -none would dare."
She was not sure where the question rose up from -but she knew that she needed the answer anyway. "Why is that?"
Amusement colored his tone as the long coils of his body urged her to her feet -drawing her toward the door that lead from the pavillion that was theirs into the arched hallways beyond. "I did not have to raise you from the dead, Little Dog. I could have left you to float within the waves until nothing remained of you except jagged bits of bone. It is was my choice that brought you back -brought you here. And none would dare question my chosen."
Note: I have the day off of work, and I'm actually feeling like a functional human being with the worst of the Mono having passed - btw I have Mono and that is why I've not done anything productive in a while- So I decided to write a bit. I'm sorry for the long delays in updates, but my life is kind of chaotic and a bit of a hot mess so I don't often have time to devote to writing which makes me rather sad.
