Beginning note: I don't own Spirited Away, I'm not making any money off it, and this is all for the funzys.

Domination
Chihiro could hardly voice her wonderment as her cove had lead her down into the depths of the lake, their path lit by spinning and wheeling trials of blue fire as they walked atop the surface of the water.
And every so often as they traveled deeper and deeper into the cavern, she would catch a barely there glimmer of blue light reflecting off silvery scales, or a shadow on the water, and knew that it was Kohaku. Patrolling the depths of his waters.
Noticing her reaction, her Cove smiled, patting her hand that was grasped so very firmly in his own. "He cannot see us, Little Chihiro. He may be mastering the waters, but he has no grasp yet of the air above them."
"Mastering? You mean that he doesn't just… control it?"
The Nameless laughed at that, throwing his head back in a gesture of pure amusement. "Of course it is not as easy as all that. Even I, as a god of my domain, do not render the oceans creatures without the will to challenge me, and I have presided over these waters for centuries. He is but a young dragonling still, and so his subjects will not submit to his hold without a fight. He must force his domination."
"So there are more things down here then just little glowing fish?" she asked dubiously, eyeing the waters beneath her feet with blant suspicion.
"Oh yes," he replied, the smile tilting at his lips making the hairs on the back of her neck stand on their ends. "There are indeed more dangers to these untamed waters than those of my own, as mine both fear and respect the power I hold, where as he has yet to prove himself."
"But it looks so peaceful here."
"Take that as a warning. I wouldn't go swimming anytime soon if I were you."
Note: And so It begins. My night consists of a wine glass full of candy, a monster mug of hot cocoa, a seat next to the Christmas Tree with Calsifer (my monstrously adorable fat tabby), and a marathon of my favorite movies.
