We created laws, religions, false ideologies - and we believe ourselves superior while we war with each other over land we do not own and things we cannot control.

For all intents and purposes, we should have died out before we even began - but we became the best.

And then there was the prophecy.

And the food chain became irrelevant.

And humanity became irrelevant.

Because with the prophecy came the power to destroy the human race.

Or the power to change it.
