Beginning note: I don't own Spirited Away, I'm not making any money off it, and this is all for the funzys.
Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers
Preparation
Chihiro broke the surface of the water, pushing her hair from her face and breathing deep the ocean air in preparation for a deeper dive.
Something about the chill night air as she swam reminded her of what else lurked just below the surface. How even though she was solitary in her actions, she wasn't alone. It was thrilling really, every time she felt the brush of scales flit past her in the darkness.
She knew it was him, the god that ruled this place. He liked to remind her sometimes that he was there, watching her movements like an indulgent parent.
When she was a child she had felt a chill go up her spine every time she had approached these dark waters, that is, until in a fit of hormonal teenage rage that craved a refreshing swim in their depths, had screamed at him. Pleaded with him. Acknowledged him.
Would you seriously just stop with the 'oh look at me, look at me! I'm a great and powerful Ocean God' already? You don't scare me. I've worked in Yubaba's bathhouse and I've gone toe to toe with Spirits far more scary than you are, so its really starting to get on my nerves. Why don't you pay her a visit and have her take out that stick you seem to have lodged up your ass? Tell her San sent you for a bath. You'll feel better afterward, I promise.
Note: Okay, in my word document where I'm writing this? I'm up to drabble number 43. Yeah. there's a lot. -.- But at least you know I'mma be updating this thing regularly for a bit? Also, Mostly? I'm listening to music in French, Italian, and Japanese for this. because words cant distract you if you don't understand them. -nods sagely-
