Dominance. Isn't it odd, ironic in that it shifted from single-cell organisms to large reptilian monsters to a biped mammal that suddenly became near unstoppable, yet so logical how each replacement species is more advanced than the one before. Even more interesting, the fact that each is of a different family. Invertebrate to reptile, reptile to mammal, but what is next? Why this pattern, what decides the way things are? Why are we here, what is life?
Could any creature find the answers? Would any creature find the answers? Man believed that they could. They were gifted with the power of conscience thought, so why couldn't they? What else held that power? None. Only None. None knew.
Who was None?
The spiders. The insects. The birds, fishes, invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, even the plants. Rodents, bears, hoofed mammals, all except Humans. Humans gave up that knowledge for conscience thought, and lost true happiness.
Their decision spread like disease.
Soon, other creatures learned that in order to survive, they, too, would have to give up the knowledge. The last to hold onto that knowledge was the "bugs". For this action they were rewarded…
…with conscience thought.
They have watched in horror as Humans began to slowly destroy the flow of time, and vowed to turn away from the humans. Spiders never gave in. They decided to exterminate the humans using the ancient knowledge which only they and the other ancient "bugs" still knew. Their attack begins on the trillionth anniversary of life.
