Ivana wasn’t sure what bothered her more, the fact that the planet beeped or that it was thousands of beeps. No matter how many times she did a scan of the planet, the beeps never went away. She tried putting it down to the first night in a fresh bed or even the fact that she did not get much sleep last night, but now, nothing seemed to justify why the planet beeped.

“Ivana, why are you up so early?”
“Beeping woke me up. I thought the equipment might be faulty, so I checked.”
“Your equipment is never faulty.”
“That’s why I came down to check. Mother look at this, does this make any sense to you?”

Genevieve pulled her glasses to her head and peered over the scanner. To her, this high-tech equipment meant nothing to her. Ivana could have easily shown the scans of a nearby planet as a joke and would have never noticed the difference.

“I’m sorry my dear, you know how useless I am at readying your machines. Is this a scan of a nearby planet? Have we impeached on another god’s terriotory?”
“No mother, this is a scan of Fawn’s planet.”
“What? Your scans showed this planet to be empty.”
“What’s happening?”

Ivana squeaked at the sound of her little brother's voice. She didn’t want to worry Fawn with this nonsense, a glitch in her system. But she was too late, he was frowning at the screen, watching the beeps flash in and out on the monitor.

“I thought you said this planet was empty?”
“It was yesterday when we landed. Fawn, this shouldn’t be something you should worry about. I am sure that my equipment is faulty.”
“Faulty? Since when have you ever called your equipment faulty?”

Ivana lacked the grace to create like a normal god, though that never stopped her creative brain from working non-stop. The god-complex as we know it. Not only were gods gifted the ability to give and take at life, they also were graced with the brain capacity the size of the sun. Of course, this is also followed with an ego the same size. Where Ivana lacked in creating life from pure light, she created tech from spare parts.

“Then I have no idea what the beeps are.”
“They’re mine.”

The air in the house turned stale as the Silver’s turned to see a smug-looking Revis standing in the doorway of the office.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAAdOkASlFSN
“What do you mean they are yours?”
“I made them last night, it seemed a shame to leave such an empty planet….empty.”

Ivana found the camera and switched it on, giving the room a clear view of what exactly Revis filled the planet with. Genevieve sighed when they came up on the monitor. Revis liked to call them Dinosaurs, flesh-eating monitors that devoured everything, including themselves, in sight. Fifty years ago, one of Revi’s creations managed to set itself free from its prison, taking and ripping the children’s father apart. This was long before Fawn was born but everyone still remembers.

“Revis, you destroyed my planet.”
“It was never your planet, to begin with. I am the eldest, so I should have the rightful claim over the first planet.”
“How could you?”

Steam was almost visible from Fawn’s ears, as his face turned a light shade of red in anger. Screaming he bulldozers towards Revis, crash-tackling him to the ground. Fawn moved all of his weight into his hands, and proceeded to punch a laughing Revis.

“Fawn, get off your brother.”
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoFi1T513kA
Ivana went to move towards the hustle to have her mother stick out an arm to stop her.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQM03g6DCS0
“How could I? How could you? I am the eldest of this family. I am destined to inherit a planet of my own. How dare you take that from me with your fluff ball of a creation. You knew this was meant for me?”
“I only created Amari because I have seen what your evil creatures have done to others around you. Do you not remember, that it was one of your creations that took your father?”
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWJuLu7gs2C
Revis stopped laughing, his aura growing dark, darker than anyone has seen before. There is a flash of light, and now Revis is on top of Fawn, preparing one of his death punches.

“How dare you blame me for something you were not even here to witness. I loved my father. He told me I would be the ruler of my own system one day. I did not kill him.”
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0AG1v5Hh2
Genevieve sighed as she froze the screen before her. She wanted so hard to believe that it was an accident. Revis was only roughly the same ago Fawn is now. She should have seen the darkness in his creations, but she was just happy to give birth to a creator. When Ivana was born, Revis was the happiest boy she had ever witnessed, so this clouded her sight.

Revis wasn’t happy that his mother had given birth to a non-creator and his darkness grew. He very much wanted to love his little sister, but the more they played the more he despised her for her disability. The older Ivana got, the more attention was on her and not him.

It was an accident that Revi’s father got mutilated, Revis had hoped Ivana would have found the dinosaur before it escaped. So when the family arrived home to a house full of blood, the blindness finally left Genevive and she finally saw what her boy was made of.
“I’m sorry my boy, I did warn you that this day would come.”
438Please respect copyright.PENANA1wnVjD48E0
The light flashed from Revi’s hands as he stared up into his mother’s eyes. He knew what this meant and he knew that he would not have any time left to put up a fight. Genevieve, touched the side of Revi’s head, transporting him to a holding cell that had been built for him many years ago.

Fawn sucked in a huge breath as he watched his older brother vanish from the room. He never wanted this to happen. All he wanted to do was kick a fuss, but when he saw the look in his mother’s eyes as she zombie-walked out of the office, he quickly shut his mouth. Ivana sank to her knees behind him, pulling his body close to hers.

“Don’t worry Fawn, I am sure he will be looked after still, no matter how far mother sends him.”
“Did she really have to send him away?”
“I’m sure she knows what is best for Revis, prison is better than losing someone else close to you.”
