You would know who he was a mile away as his light shines over all living things and you would recognize one of his most feared sons the minute you see him as his fiery anger seems to always be ablaze.
It has been millions of years since the father and son have met for everyone knows the story of how the son had forsaken his almighty father.
"How have you been?" The father asks with his voice as commanding and gentle as ever. "You know already know everything, why do you ask?" The son replies, his tone anything but caring.
The father had known his son would not cooperate that easily but he had to give him one last chance for he knows and feels that no matter how bad his son had been or is being he is still his son.
"Why will you not stop?" The father tries once more. "Why should I? Look around you, I am now feared by all! As much as they USED to fear you!!!" The son replies once again with jealousy and anger in his voice. "Yes, you may be feared but are you not lonely that you are not loved nor respected as well?" The father asks with concern. "Love? Who needs that when I can control them with fear now that they fear me more so than they did you?" The son answers, boasting his new found power.
The father now realizes how he can save his son along with all of his other children. "You may be feared by all but they do not fear you more than they do I." The father says with confidence. "What are you saying? Everyone here has already forgotten you, they fear me more so than they do you." The son answers with anger. "If you believe that with all your might then come, we shall meet one of them and see who he fears most." The father challenges. "Ok, but I shall choose our judge!" The son plots. The son knows of one man that fears him above all else and he is confident that this man will lead him to victory.
The father and son went to the man that at that was about to walk on hot charcoal. "Stop!" The son yelled. The man was startled by the interruption but followed his order. The wore torn clothes and had skin as dark as the coal he was about to walk on because of hard labor. "What may I do for you master?" The man meekly asks. "Do not walk on the charcoal and come to me now!" The son commanded. "No. Continue your walk son." The father contradicted. The man looked at father and son and thought of who he should obey. As he felt the anger and hatred from the son he almost moved towards him but one glance at the father who shined so brightly and stood so proudly he could not help but follow him instead. The man walked on the hot black coal and at the end of the road his rags turned to gold, his skin reverted to its original color and all his bruises and wounds had healed. "A miracle." The man whispered.
As the man looked around he saw that he was not the only one that had changed. "Now you see, that I am the most feared will you finally come back to me my son?" The father asked hopefully. But the son felt nothing but anger and jealousy and left in a fit of rage "NEVER!" He had yelled. The father only hoped that he could save his son one day as he had saved his other children.
