Next New Age Abraxas 2:23-30

Ikigai · 07-17-2021, 09:01 AM

Ikigai let out a rather unladylike grunt when her brother unceremoniously toppled to the ground beside her. He was very uncouth, but she loved him anyway and proved so by giving his blue and white cheek a little nuzzle. Ike arrived soon after and squeezed between them. Her sister received the same treatment; a nuzzle to the cheek. Iki, rather than sit tall as she usually did, reclined into the pile that was her brother and sister. The pale princess smiled to her group of cousins then settled in to listen.

There was no doubt in Ikigai's mind that Toxicity believed everything that she was saying. There was a certainty in the woman's voice that proved she believed every word. For Ikigai... there were doubts. Were they inherited from her father? Possibly. The girl simply had a difficult time believing anything that wasn't tangible. If she couldn't see it and touch it for herself, then there were doubts. She had never seen a god, nor touched one. The concept of a god was just that; a concept. A story, in a sense. If her aunt said that they were all trees, were they expected to believe that they were trees? Clearly they were not trees, so how were they to believe that they were gods? Ikigai was not convinced.

Toxicity hadn't opened the floor for questions, but Ikigai had them. She waited for a lull in the lecture, then shared her thoughts with her aunt. "Oba-sama..." the girl's lyrics were clear and smooth as she spoke, "How do you know that gods are real?" She didn't offer up her own doubts, she simply wanted clarification. Ikigai wanted hard facts. If her aunt could offer facts or proof, then she would have an easier time wrapping her young mind around the matter.
