>Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Capital is your god, Capital, and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Anon.

Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of capitalism and left it on the battlefield.
