"I don't know." Asura simply stated, with a skeptic look from Hikaru. "That right there is the contradiction. I do believe there is another class that outclasses both." Asura traced her staff in to the air outside the cube all together, off to the side of it. "This would be a class not grounded to existence at all. Able to control its forces, yet be effected by none. This would be known as Ingrounded, not bound to existence at all, able to bend, twist, and manipulate it to its will, and not be affected its self. If anyone would be Ingrounded, I believe it would be the one that created Existence in a whole. No, not Creation and Destruction. And not even the race that created the embodiments. But something farther out there, a 'true God,' if you will."
"And it's that god that brought us, The subgrounded into existence?" Hikaru questioned.
Asura shook her head, "No. But I think it's a part of it. As I said, it's a contradiction. A contradiction to existence its self. But the thing about contradictions, they attract more contradictions. Whatever that first contradiction in existence was, brought with it another contradiction. And with that contradiction, it brought yet another, each one being the gate way for even more contradictions. Your existence, for example. A contradiction. Miss Hikaru's children's existence, a contradiction that led from the first contradiction of her existence. Subgrounded seem to attract more subgrounded, as they play as more contradictions. Find that first contradiction in existence, and you would find out why you exist."
"So then we shouldn't exist... because contradictions shouldn't exist?"
"There's nothing wrong with contradictions." Asura went on, "Without contradictions, we wouldn't have tautologies, and existence would never be certain. But too many contradictions, and it starts to overflow, outnumbering that which fix them, the tautologies. Existence is supposed to have an equal amount of both contradiction and tautology, it is supposed to be contingent. But when contradiction outweighs tautology, things become irrational. It is that irrationality that brings me back to the start of this." Asura swiped her staff across the markings, and they faded. "If you kills Miss Hikaru, and if Miss Hikaru kills you. I cannot say what happens. Obviously because you're in existence, you die. But that is material existence, the Dimensional Plane. Even then, you come back. Why? Irrationality. Events, caused by the chain of contradictions, causing another contradiction to correct it. Because your existence was a contradiction, dying was a tautology, but because of irrationality, another contradiction happens. The event of being brought back."
"But what about permanent death?"
"I'm getting there. Because of irrationality, I cannot say if you would live or die. Things being unable to be destroyed or created, existence as well, is a tautology. But your existence is a contradiction. And so would permanent death be as well, because it's obviously destroying something. To have those two contradictions clash, I believe the tautology would be to save, and the contradiction would be to destroy. Irrationality would happen, and you would be neither destroyed or saved, but outside of it all together. Neither alive or dead. A paradox."
"...So we're immortal? True immortality?"
"You could call it that. Existence would certainly have no bounds on you then. And perhaps you may find out what exactly out there is Ingrounded, you would be on the same class as them. But I don't know what form you would be in. Mere dust, essence of the spirit? Or if through will power, your existent-bound form? Not something I would try even if it is immortality. All true immortality has a price. And I think, seeing as the contradiction of your existence is effecting existence. The price to your 'deaths,' would be a severe change in material existence. You can't kill the roots of a tree, without destroying it. And the subgrounded are the roots of existence. Which is why existence is trying to keep you alive."
