Oko and Imoinda
Language: English
Chosen for Diff
Imoinda Oko, Prince Oko I long to see you, I long to touch you. Your name is such sorrow. Oko I feel the darkness deeper than the forest. Echoes of evil, man against man, against woman and child. But I demand to speak to your General. I am a Prince!
