[i] I looked at my other and nodded, as he gave it to me. "Very well. Let it be known that I only wish to give this final gift out of curiosity and seek to preserve them in my study of them. Concepts of sin have of no use to me, but if you insist, I will give them knowledge of sin, so that they may be given the choice and not blindly follow the whims others for the sake of demanding their perfection." With that, I departed and made my last gift of the Mastery of Fire to all the mortal races, now able to bend mountain and metal to their delight. With fire, they build forges and cast the shadows back from their villages, created better tools that could break stone and burn wood, cook food and keep warm from the elements. Without my assistance, they began to dig down into the domain of the Earth, searching for better metals for their forges and thrones. A natural consequence of my other sibling's curse of Wrath had the typical effect of slaughter and scorched earth. I gave them knowledge of Sin and gave them the ability to hear our voices if they stepped out of line, but I cast the seed of Choice in order to give them the freedom to ignore the wills of my siblings, for they would have to deal with that themselves.
