Antares worriedly asks,


"Father, what happened to you??? What did they do??"


God, after calming himself down a little bit says with a solemn face,


"Everyone tricked me, they used me, and kept doing it again and again... At the end, I decided...


I decided that if I can't be happy in that world, I'll make my own world... I'll make a place where I can live happily... Where I'll have the tools to prove myself once and for all and show them."


God then stands up and walks up to Antares.


"Antares, my son, you must have wondered right? What my goal is? What I want to do with all this?? You want to know, right?"


Antares gets flustered but still manages to reply,


"Y...yes father."


A teardrop forms in God's eye as he says with a sorrowful voice,


"I want to create a story... The most amazing one at that... Your powers still haven't manifested fully yet, so, the pain you feel in your head may only increase in the future..."


"Huh?"


"I can't count on anyone else anymore son... Everyone I knew has betrayed me multiple times... Your siblings are still just little toddlers now and the rest haven't been born... I know I'm asking a lot from you... That's why I don't want to say it.."


Antares wanting to make his father proud says,


"No father, nothing is too much for you!!! I'll do anything and everything father... If I can't even be of help to my own father, then why am I even existing??? I shall do it, father... Anything... So, please... Ask.."


God starts crying frantically as he says,


"You have to help me complete this story of mine... The path will be tough, but,  I promise you. I promise you that you'll never be alone, I know how lonely you were in your childhood... You'll never be lonely again... I promise... You'll have countless families, countless children... You want to be loved right??? You'll have all the love in this world."


Antares asks, smiling,


"Is that true, father?? Will that happen? Really?"


God nods while he wipes his tears. Seeing this Antares' smile becomes even wider.
But, then God says,


"But in order to do that, you'll have to manage your siblings... Take care of them.. make sure that they keep following my story... Will you be able to do that?"


Antares gets confused. He gets confused since his father says this as if he is asking a great cost from him. But, in his head, taking care of his siblings is his most pleasurable thing to do... He asks himself.
