Has it not been the custom since unremembered time for a prophet to have two wives? Voice-of-the-Gods: Most certainly. It is the law. [Ichtharion holds up three fingers.] What! Ichtharion: Three. Voice-of-the-Gods: Do not betray me. It was long ago. Ichtharion: You will be allowed to serve the gods no more if men know this. The gods will not protect you in this matter for you have offended also against the gods. Voice-of-the-Gods: It is worse that the gods should lie. Do not betray me. |
