{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.

Ichtharion:
I go to tell the others what I know.

Voice-of-the-Gods:
I will make the false prophecy.

Ichtharion:
Ah. You have chosen wisely.

Voice-of-the-Gods:
When the gods punish me who make them lie, they will
know what punishment to give to you.

Ichtharion:
The gods will not punish us. It is long ago that the
gods used to punish men.

Voice-of-the-Gods:
The gods will punish us.
