If the Prophet had just suffered the sacrifice of his beloved, but not expelled the Vox Populi, it would have been enough!” ― Preacher Witting If the Prophet had just purged the vipers of the Orient, but not suffered the sacrifice of his beloved, it would have been enough. If the Prophet had just led us to the New Eden, and not purged the vipers of the Orient, it would have been enough.
