Witchcraft has a history to it; it started long before the middle ages and is still practiced now. During the fifth century, Christian theologian St. Augustin of Hippo proclaimed that all Pagan magic and religion was invested and controlled by the Devil.

The Armenian Genocide: The Armenians are a group of people who were attacked repeatedly throughout history, gained and lost territory, and were subject to discrimination.

Luckily we still had enough water to complete the mission. The next two days went by smoothly and we entered an orbit around the Moon. This was when my secret briefing came into play.
