S1 E57: Hello, Bhatījē Pt. 3

Banusi AlMawt (Present Day)

I glanced at Dawn and Silver’s sleeping images in the rearview mirror. My thoughts plagued me as I drove along the quiet roads. I knew this was a lot for Silver to accept, but it was starting to gnaw at me. It was one thing for Mallack to constantly question me, but it was another thing entirely for a servant of my House to disbelieve in me.

Generally, Gods stick with worshipers or those that earn their favor... Hell, most just grab someone that passes the tests and believes in the Gods, but taking on an atheist was a rarity and not typically done. It wasn’t their fault they didn’t believe in Gods. It is God's failure, and while we are not prejudiced against atheists, it’s just so much harder to get them to adjust. To top it off, their disbelief can start to hurt us if we’re not careful. A servant has direct access to God's light, and I just allowed myself to be exposed to an atheist's doubt.
