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
Position
The sun was in the same position in the sky as it had been when they stepped foot into the god-realm, but for some reason, Chihiro got the feeling that they had been there far longer than either of them had assumed.
"The Cove gave me a warning before I set out to find you." She began. "He told me: 'you must always remember; return from the same place you entered. Or you might get spirited away again.'"
Her dragon nodded, holding onto her hand and sweeping her into and out of his arms as she delicately leapt across the river stones, carefully picking her way down and across the mostly dried bed with him. And he seemed so much... lighter than she had ever seen him. As if for the first time in their acquaintance, he was really and truly happy.
"Wise words indeed, and you would be wiser to heed them. The Spirit World is a dangerous place, and you must always know where you are going, or you may never make it there."
"Really?" she asked curiously. "I thought the gates where like doorways; You walk through one and you end up in the same place every time."
He laughed at that, throwing his head back in a moment of pure exuberance. "My naïve little Chihiro, magic doesn't work in such linear forms; magic is swirls and corkscrews and circles and other such shapes you have no name for. Your Cove probably, -as we had upon your last visit- enchanted your gateway to return you home; our doorways never take you to the same place twice. they could just as easily take you to some unknown realm as the mortal world."
