One eyed Tafas strolled into a riverfront tavern known for its motley assortment of thieves, brigands and assassins.
“I’m looking for snake charmers, and I have gold to pay,” he pronounced.
At first, his words appeared to fall on deaf ears. But then a raspy voice from the farthest edge of the room spoke up:
“My name is Pentu, and my brother is the finest snake charmer in this land. He can deliver whatever you want!”
The voice belonged to a small elfish looking man with long greasy hair and an equally greasy grin that displayed every crooked tooth in his seedy head.
The horses shot north up the royal highway at breakneck speed. Thousands of Akhetaten’s thrilled citizens lined the road intently watching as the two chariots whizzed past them.
It was an exhilarating spectacle—two of Egypt’s finest charioteers, Ay and Ramose, competing feverishly for both pride and a solid gold victory cup to the winner.
The race had begun at Akhetaten’s southern suburb of Maru-Aten. The frenzied pace at which the charioteers were traveling had them within two furlongs of the city’s central temple and palace complex and they were fast closing in on the most treacherous part of the course. The road at this point was curved inward, arcing to the left, which meant the chariots had to reduce their speed or risk the likely consequence of crashing into an adjacent building.
Wow! A thrilling roller coaster ride with a surprise at every turn! The story’s ending completely got me! More please!
