I wish I could watch it happen over and over again, it was the most beautiful sight you could ever see. They are always talking about the greatest sights to behold on Earth, but the best was getting to watch the Earth itself be built from this expansive black void. This one was by far the best out of all the world we have built, and let me tell yah we sure have built a lot of them. I just loved watching the void fold in on itself then out of no where this sphere started growing, I got to watch as the mountains started their ascent for the stars. I got to see the oceans fill up like a kids pool, and helped the first little lizard crawl on the sand and I got to teach the first dolphins to swim. I even created the little baby redwoods that will eventually tower over all the other plants. I created the birds and the whales in the oceans, among other funky looking creatures. Although my work could never match His artwork, he is so masterful that he is the source of the planet appearing. He is the master and creator of all he is God. He created the horses, alligators, elephants, he even came up with the idea for the dinosaurs, as one may be able to tell he has excellent skill and craftsmanship. That's what I used to think anyways, until he took his monkey project and brought up to an entirely different level. These new creatures were now capable of speech patterns and communication, not only that but they had free will and free thought. There was something else about these creatures they felt different then the other animals on the planet. Their presence was similar to that of God's but it was also different, it was almost as if they were both human and part God. Even though they were curious I never put much more thought into them, other than the fact that they exist now.

"Quinn, come here. I want to show you something." God yelled from the other end of the planet.

Quinn appeared at God's side without a moment to spare. "What have you done or come up with now?" Quinn questioned exasperated. I was just working on my project I don't understand why he couldn't have just down a visual link and shown me that way.

"I finally finished my humans." God said excitedly. "I wanted to show them to you since you know you help me out so much with this planet, I wanted your opinion on them." He explained.

Sometimes he can be really nice and sweet but oh boy does he get mad when you move something out of it's given spot, or even if you don't something the exact same way as him. "Really, I've been waiting." Quinn said with interest in his voice. "I've also been wondering why they look like you and me. But they don't have the same presence as us."

"That is because I was able to share some of my body with them. This way they will be far more superior than any of the other creatures that I have created. This is going to be so great Quinn aren't you just super excited to see how everything will turn out." God spoke enthusiastically.

He was like a little boy who just got a new present, only make that little boy the master of the universe and give him god-like powers, then you would have Yahweh. "Yeah, it should be excited to how they will grow and change. I'm especially waiting for the day that they are really advanced." Quinn spoke without any enthusiasm in his voice.

For some reason I just can't trust those things that he has made, there is something about them that makes me uneasy. Quinn thought to himself.

"I think I'm done for the day. I'll head out and go ahead and get some rest." Quinn said calmly. He just needed some time to himself. He need to understand why he is having these feelings towards such insignificant creatures.

"Oh, well I hope you rest easy then." Yahweh replied caring like. "Maybe tomorrow we can work together on ways for the humans to get there food. Or we can even make new creatures that are slightly easier to hunt down, how does that sound?" He explained excitedly.

"Yeah that sounds like fun to me as well. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."  Quinn replied with little enthusiasm in his voice.

After taking one last glance at the village of humans down below Quinn headed away from the viewing area. He left and entered the grand dimensional hallway, lined with millions of doors and columns extending in both directions. As far as the eye could see it seemed endless, although even this hallway came to an end.  Each pair of doorways had a single torch in between the two of them providing infinite light to the expansive hallway.

I still want to find out what it is about those things that sets them apart from the rest of us, Quinn thought. At this point it was only God and Quinn that were working on the Earth, the two of them were still waiting on the rest of their to come help them with the new project they decided to start.

Back to those 'human' things I wonder if they are actually capable of living. Meaning that they give birth make experiences with other people as well and end up dying. Could that be the difference? Are they actually capable dying? This is incredible. After all the planets we have made we finally created an intelligent species that is capable of dying. Although what does that mean for the exploration and creation side of our culture. Will this be the end of all of us traveling the universe created planets left and right, and creating new life to inhabit these new planets that we all made together?

This can't be the last time that we create a planet together or even creating new life forms. We have had so much fun building and watching everything unfold right in front of us. I need to figure out some way to convince him that they may not hold the same ideals as the rest of us.

Quinn finally made it back to his room, though he nearly missed his room while deep in thought. When he made it back to his room he began his nightly routine before heading to bed. While picking out his old feathers to make room for the new ones he had a curious thought

'What would happen if I was able to trick the humans into thinking that their God held nothing but ill intentions?' Quinn thought to himself deviously. 'Who would God be most mad at? I could say I was testing their faith, to see if they would falter to the words of a stranger. Would God even believe me if I told him that? What he know my true intentions behind my words.' Quinn's thoughts began to race. He began to worry, but he had a pit feeling that if he was to follow through with this idea it would be for the greater good.

Finally Quinn finished his nightly routine and headed to his bed to get some rest after the long day. When he hit the pillow he closed his eyes and within an instant he was sucked into a dream.
