Next New Age Abraxas 1:1-5

Ikigai · 04-07-2021, 08:05 AM

Ikigai had already been at the shrine. The snow kissed child was laying at the edge of the pool, watching the little fish swim about. She'd been counting them for what seemed like hours now but her number always came out different. Because it was different, she would have to start over and tally them again. The motion from her aunt kept distracting her and eventually Iki was able to peel herself away from the fish to investigate.

As she moved towards her aunt, the woman called out for all of the Ashen pups to come to her. Since she was already here, Ikigai seated herself nearby, silver eyes seeking out the items that Toxicity had been handling. She was a curious child and was always ready to learn new things. If they were being called together, it could only be to learn, right?

Oki arrived, followed by a charcoal and purple pup. Ears swiveled back and the lithe child dipped her head gracefully in greeting. Red rimmed eyes turned up at the corners as she smiled lightly. Ikigai was always quiet until spoken to, so she said nothing just yet.

A dull thud followed by an exclamation pulled Iki's head around quickly. Ike had fallen face first on the ground. Quickly, Iki rushed to her sister's side, gently helping her sibling back to her paws. With light swipes of her paws, the pallid child helped rid her sister of clinging snow. "Are you alright?" Her voice was soft and smooth; already very practiced. "Come sit next to me." She smiled again before leading Ike to the place where she'd been sitting, her long obsidian tail hissing as it snaked over the frozen ground.
