The Star in the Solitude
In a time of ancients, when the universe was still young, a pulsing ball of fire named Solaire was born. Solaire was not the biggest or the brightest of his kin, yet he was unique for he was born alone in the silent, vast abyss where no other star shined.
Life for Solaire was lonely. He had no celestial bodies to share his light with, no planets for company, only the infinite expanse of darkness stretching forth. He yearned for companionship, for a purpose greater than just burning brightly in the void. Thus, he made a vow to create life, to illuminate the darkness with beings of his own.
With mighty bursts of energy, Solaire molded matter and energy into nine children, his planets. They were varied and beautiful, swirling mixtures of colors and elements, each bestowed with an essence of their father and a life of their own.
The planets darted around Solaire in a joyful dance, each one feeding off his warmth and light. But despite his creations, Solaire stumbled upon a grave realization. While his planets emitted an ethereal glow, they did not emanate life.
Years spun into centuries as Solaire tirelessly infused his energy into his planets, hoping to spark life. But his efforts remained in vain. Dejected, he began losing his radiance.
One day, a cosmic wanderer named Aero happened by Solaire's system. Drawn by his dispirited countenance, Aero asked, 'Why does the star, the bearer of light and warmth, glitter so dimly?'
Solaire recounted his tale of longings and failures. 'I have no one to share my light with, no one whose eyes would twinkle at my glow.' Solaire lamented. Aero gazed at the desolate scene sympathetically, but an idea dawned on him.
Aero, using his cosmic powers and Solaire's remaining energy, molded the third planet into a bountiful world filled with blue oceans, green lands, and a breathable atmosphere. With a shooting star carrying life, Aero sowed a seed of existence onto the planet. He then whispered to Solaire, 'Care for them, guide them, and in time, they will look upon you in awe and gratitude.'
Solaire, now christened as the Sun, watched as his third planet, Earth, began to teem with life. Creatures of different shapes and sizes started filling the glistening waters and abundant lands. Eventually, creatures who walked upright, called humans, looked upon him with reverence, cherishing his warmth and daylight. Their eyes gleamed with his brilliance, and their love for him was reflected in their countless works of art and mythology.
From that moment, the Sun never felt lonely. His children planet though void of life, harboured life on their brother Earth by maintaining balance in his system. His light was no longer lost in the vast emptiness; it found meaning in the eyes of those who admired and praised him.
He realized his purpose was not just in creating life but guiding and nurturing it too. The Sun shone brightly each day, caressed the Earth to sleep each night, and in those countless sunrises, and sunsets, he found his joy.
No longer a lonely star in the solitude, the Sun, with an entourage of planets and shimmering life on Earth, radiated brilliantly against the cosmic canvas, painting the universe with his endless stories of love and life.
