Fruition
Chihiro lazily explored the depths of her ocean cove, relearning every reef and cave by touch in the failing light, the darkness having altered the lines with which she was so familiar.
Something about this place had called to her when she was just a girl, the land having been passed down though the hands of her family for generations. Her adoration of the spot had sprung into fruition when her grandmother finally had passed into the next life. The house on the cliff and the secret cove she had spent her summers hiding from the world in was in turn left to her to care for.
She was the only person to have swam in these waters for generations, the only who wasn't afraid of the spirit that was said to resided here. His wrath had sunk a her ancestors ship, sparing no one save a single, pregnant woman, her lover lost to the sea.
And this lack of fear was not for any disbelief of his existence. She had no doubts he watched her as she leisurely traversed his watery domain, she had walked with spirits before and she knew what it felt like to be forgotten.
Note: Two updates in one day. I know, very odd for me. Its really more of a gift for The Hatter Theory who I've been teasing with this all morning,and JeniNeji who was SO AMAZING as to illustrate chapter Three 'Continuation'. ^^
