The darkest night surrounded the ancient kingdom and the town with its sleeping subjects in their ancient cottages. A full blue moon blessed them, with no stars. In the daytime, this planet was also blessed with two yellow suns.

Inside the huge palace, the second level had two people staying in their chambers. One in particular was a king and a father who had lost his two children. One went into exile, and the Alpha Planet would wait eight more years for the prodigal son to return.

The grieving father, K-King, slept in his huge seashell bed, which many aliens from distant worlds would be surprised to find soft and cosy if they gave it a try. His palace had these remarkable seashell beds, but each of his subjects had them in their cottages as well. The palace staff— housekeepers, guards, cooks—had theirs inside their small apartments. But K-king and his children had their grand seashell beds in their chambers. 

K-King sighed and tried to relax in his golden body skinsuit that covered his hands and his toes. The letter “K” had been embroidered on the front of his skinsuit. Unable to sleep, he popped his eyes open and saw, in the smooth surface of the seashell bed, his brown-skinned, brown-eyed reflection, as well as his long crinkly snow-white beard. "I'm getting older and older as each year goes by."

He daydreamed about his children, which kept him awake, because he longed for his children to embrace him.

"Oh, I miss you so much, my children."

He thought about his two beautiful twins. First, his exiled son who got banished for twenty-four years as punishment for a crime, thanks to the Alpha God, whose secrecy sent his lovable son to wander from planet to planet for over two decades. And then there was his late daughter who left him and went to Earth to find her true love, the Man of Steel, Superman, who matched her name, S-Woman. The tragic, foolish girl found out his real name, which didn’t even start with the letter of her first name! She became pregnant because she took advantage of the Kryptonian by using her powers. K-King had found out that, while the Alpha God outlawed this behavior and punished Alpharians for it, the world called Earth didn’t care.

He could imagine how she suffered as the Alpha Lord took her out of her pod and vaporized her inside the hot lava yellow light beam. How she must have screamed in agony as the creator took her away!

K-king wanted to physically and mentally verbally abuse the lord at first taking his caring and affectionate late wife and then later on taking his daughter,  which he can't do because if he does challenge the lord,  the alpha would take his life and there will be no King to protect his subjects,  which he took a deep sighed again to cool his rage over to the lord.

K-King wanted to abuse the Alpha Lord physically, mentally, and verbally. First his god took his caring and affectionate late wife, and then his daughter! But if he challenge the Alpha God, King or no King, his life would be worthless. The Alpha God would take his life, and then his subjects wouldn’t have a King to protect them. He took several deep breaths to cool his rage.

Tears spilled down his face and he sobbed rather than fly into a rage. His sorrow was deeper than his rage as he imagined his daughter, with his same brown skin and light chocolate eyes, standing with the greyish-blue moon behind her and her beautiful thin rosy lips parted in a smile.

He sat up and used a tablet and stylus to write a letter to his late daughter. “Please forgive me, my dear daughter. I wasn't there to protect you. I’m alone without you and your brother.”

He chewed the end of the stylus and continued to write out his sorrow. “I wish I could have stopped you from leaving our planet, but I saw your love for Superman, and I was powerless to forbid you from going. I just wanted your safety and happiness, my dearest late daughter. You have been gone for sixteen years and I miss you and your brother every day. He will return soon but you — you won't return to me, my daughter."
