"Here ends the writing of the Scribe Ana."

THANK GOODNESS.

"Death! Death by fire. The death he had made ready for the innocent!"

What? This makes no sense. All these people were on the "let Ki kill Merapi, she is TOTALLY A WITCH THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR ANYTHING" train ten seconds ago. Why have they suddenly switched? Is it just that Seti is such a Gary Stu that his will overrides everything?

"Dawn came at last, showing the most awful sight that was ever beheld by the eye of man."

This book?

"The curtain of black cloud which seemed to hang beyond the camp of the Egyptians was alive with lightnings which appeared to shape themselves to writings that I could not read."

Credit where it's due: that's a kinda cool image.

"The Prince of Egypt ! The Prince of Egypt!"

G-d I wish I was watching The Prince of Egypt instead of reading this drivel.

"'Moon of Israel, thy people wander in the wilderness and need thy light.'"

No. No they do not. They're being led by Moses. Do not DARE try to convince me that your Mary Sue is the ACTUAL greatest prophet who will lead them to the Promised Land, you fuck hack.

Oh my gosh, shut up. SHUT UP about Merapi. I get that yes, obviously everyone is wrong to assume she's doing this, but Haggard is still making this ALL ABOUT HER because she's a stupid Mary Sue OC and he can't imagine the universe not revolving around her, even when she's been forcibly inserted into ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES OF THREE MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS. The Exodus is not about your fictional waifu, idiot!

"The Egyptians who, when they come to understand all that they have suffered at our hands in return for the wealth and shelter which they have given us for many generations, whereby we have grown from a handful into a great people..."

That's an interesting way to summarize generations of slavery.

Do you want to force her to marry you, or do you want to condemn her as a witch? Pick which stupid subplot you belong to and stick with it.

"Only Merapi did admit some of the Israelitish women who were married to Egyptians in the city, though for her pains they only cursed her as a witch."

Oh, good! The kinda-not-so-bad Jews are also being horrible now. I'm honestly glad Haggard has given up the act, it wasn't working anyway.
