Imagination

It didn't take much imagination after that admission to understand why his waters were so untouchable, and as she went to speak to him words of comfort, he continued, shaking head to stop her from speaking, and sending his sea-foam hair into disarray.

"I allowed her to hate me, I made her; because it forced her to feel. To acknowledge me. And I think that was the second cruelest thing I could have done to her. I never allowed her, or anyone else, to again touch my waters, and she was forced to live out the remainder of her days knowing her lover's murder was just outside the door. And that he did it out of love."

The small boy moved to sit beside her on the rock, looking so purely innocent as he stared pensively out at the bay, even in the face of his words.

"What's your name?" Chihiro asked softly, and those ageless black eyes slowly turned toward her again, before sliding back to the water they seemed to mirror.

"I am the Nameless; merely The Cove." His voice was devoid of emotion as he answered her, sitting in silence for a moment before then gesturing with one delicately clawed hand toward the waves beneath their feet. "His ship still sits down there; untouched by time. Bring to me the necklace that is still seated around his neck; she made it from shells plucked from my own shores, hoping I would protect him. For that I will help you reclaim your love from the spirit world."

Note: Oh hello there. It seems I've updated. Well then. Fantastico. On another note, waiting for a call back from an interview is nerve wracking. -.-
