Pratchips 73- Small Gods
Brutha is a large, illiterate novice who nevertheless has an eidetic memory (think photographic memory on steroids.) For this reason he is selected by the Deacon of the Omnian church, Vorbis, as part of a plan to conquer Ephebe.
As we will see in Pratchips 74, this is because Vorbis is not a nice person.
But, all the best plans, and that. Vorbis ends up comatose, with Brutha hauling him across the terrible Omnian desert. Brutha ends up as the Chosen One—to be the 8th Prophet of Omnianism, that it.
And the Great God Om ends up making the trip to and from Ephebe with Brutha, and learning some compassion along the way. That has a lot to do with the fact that Om is currently manifest in the form of a small, one-eyed tortoise, and he can’t remember how to change back. He can’t remember much else about his past as a Great God, in fact, but he is desperate to ensure that he doesn’t become a Small God.
