Le destin
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Le Destin est une main composee de cinq doigts. Lorsqu'il veut assouvir son ressentiment contre un homme, il lui applique deux de ses doigts sur les yeux, deux autres sur les oreilles, et, du dernier, et du dernier lui fermant la bouche, le condamne au silence.
