Fable
by Molossus
"How did man dominate the earth?"
Spike gestured for Illyria to follow him. "Let me show you something." He led Illyria to the W&H labs, where experiments were being performed with cold. A technician blew upon his hands.
"What is he doing?"
"He's warming his hands. Let's keep going."
He took her to the cafeteria, where an employee blew into her soup.
"She is heating her food?"
"Nope, cooling it down."
Illyria considered. "You wish me to see that humans blow hot and cold with the same breath. This gave them the power to rule the earth?"
"S'all it took."
