As I say life flow into my creations I couldn't help but cry. They were beautiful...simply beautiful. As they began to move, losing the stiffness that plagued me before. I wept tears of the highest joy, and with them flowed into my creations, giving them the full scope of emotion. As soon as I regained some of my composure I shifted into a form they were comfortable with, a towering being of stars and galaxies. With an a voice that seemed to originate from their own heads I said, "My children. You are my ultimate creation. You will spread out and multiply, giving your gifts for all to enjoy." Outstretching my hand I let them walk upon my palm and gave them a final gift. Using a breath that came from the very center of my being I gave them the gift of wonder, of excitement, of curiosity, and of love. With a final word of encouragement, they embraced. Both man and woman became one and with it caused their bodies to dissipate, spreading themselves across the earth.
Unlike the alphas, these new ones were of all different shapes, sizes, and colors. And they were all beautiful. After taking a moment to admire my children, I thanked my siblings for their gifts, set the alphas into the sky into the constellation of the lovers, christened myself Manus, and departed for now. This was so much to take in at once and I needed to mourn a bit. While there wasn't any other way to spread my children they still were my first. However they will always live on, in the stars.
