“He reminded himself that suffering wasn’t his alone. The entire tribe suffered because of their bull-god’s cruelty. Perhaps it was time to seek a new tribal god! … But where to find such a powerful god? And if he found one, how could he persuade it to conquer Martu and protect the tribe from Abu-Summu, their vicious priest?”
