The Cheta used to believe that the Mohar possessed magic powers, and could make himself invisible, for when they lay in wait for us on the way we used suddenly to vanish; but certainly not into the clouds, only into the cave, which the Mohar used to call his Tuat.
I tore it open, and my blood ran cold when I saw to whom it was addressed." "To the king of the Cheta?" cried Pentaur in excitement. "To his chief officer, Titure," continued Horus. "I was holding both the rolls in my hand, when Paaker came back into the cave.
Paaker is fighting with the Cheta." Once more the Mohar had bent his bow, and came so near to the king's chariot that he could be heard exclaiming in a hoarse voice, as he let the bowstring snap, "Now I will reckon with you thief! robber! My bride is your wife, but with this arrow I will win Mena's widow."
The conquered peoples had no choice, and the representative of the Cheta king who himself was wounded and twelve princes of the principal nations who had fought against Rameses, were forced to follow his victorious train. Every respect was shown them, and they were treated as the king himself, but they were none the less his prisoners.
I tore it open, and my blood ran cold when I saw to whom it was addressed." "To the king of the Cheta?" cried Pentaur in excitement. "To his chief officer, Titure," continued Horus. "I was holding both the rolls in my hand, when Paaker came back into the cave.
"You have the wife let the horses go," said Rameses soothingly. Suddenly a blast of trumpets rang through the morning air; whence it came could not be seen, and yet it sounded close at hand. Rameses started up and took his battle-axe from his girdle, the horses pricked their ears, and Mena exclaimed: "Those are the trumpets of the Cheta! I know the sound."
Paaker had disappeared; but the bays which he had driven into the battle were found unhurt in front of his ruined and blood-sprinkled chariot. The Egyptians were masters of Kadesh, and Chetasar, the king of the Cheta, sued to be allowed to treat for peace, in his own name and in that of his allies; but Rameses refused to grant any terms till he had returned to the frontier of Egypt.
Then once more Rameses raised his war-cry, felled a Cheta, who was standing close to him to the ground, with a blow on his skull, while the mysterious supporter by his side, who covered him with the shield, on his part also dealt many terrible strokes.
Then Rameses gave out a war cry, that rang back from the cliffs on the right hand and on the left like the blast of a trumpet; his chariot-guard joined in the shout for an instant the flying Egyptians paused, but only to rush on again with double haste, in hope of escape and safety: suddenly the war-cry of the enemy was heard behind the king, mingling with the trumpet-call of the Cheta, and out from a cross valley, which the king had passed unheeded by and into which Paaker had disappeared came an innumerable host of chariots which, before the king could retreat, had broken through the Egyptian ranks, and cut him off from the body of his army.
The nearer they got to Kadesh, the more familiar Kaschta showed himself with every stock and stone, and he went forward to obtain information; he returned somewhat anxious, for he had perceived the main body of the Cheta army on the road which they must cross. How came the enemy here in the rear of the Egyptian army? Could Rameses have sustained a defeat?
