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
Salutation
It was strangely peaceful as they made their way through the maze; as if the entire world was holding its breath for them. Waiting for something.
It was then she noticed how many of the black shapes they were passing over, and the thrumming that pulsed through her dragon when they reached up toward them as they pair flew past. If she hadn't seen firsthand the damage they could inflict, she would have assumed they were merely spirits waving in salutation. The longing with which the dark masses reached for him sent a shaver down her spine.
They had touched him once, and were desperate for anther taste.
Shortly after that they touched down on a familiar looking platform; one of the first basement performance stages. They were so close.
"Why are we stopping?" She whispered to him.
He didn't reply; she knew he couldn't. He merely shook his mane in agitation as he stared at the dark hallway before them. Fangs bore as he lowered his head, hackles up and tail thrashing violently against the once pristine walls.
"What's waiting for us in the darkness Kohaku? What stands in our path now?"
Note: I have a plan! I'm going to be working on this like crazy -since I know what I'm doing now- until I've finished it, (with the exception of tonight at Write-Night, since I'll be pulling out all the stops and working on Samhain) But I should have this completed sometime soon...ish.
