Like a thief in the night, three figures stole out from the palace, each carrying a small bundle in their arms. They were headed into different sections of the city, but they had the same purpose.
The first bundle was passed into the arms of a nobleman whose wife had recently lost their unborn child. The second was stolen as its caretaker tried to locate another noble family's new home. The third caretaker lost his bundle amongst the reeds of the Nile when he tripped and lost his grip.
These two, not wanting to admit their failure, told the Pharaoh that they had carried out their appointed tasks and delivered the bundles they had been charged with to loyal noble families of his court.
Aknamkanon looked down at the infant slumbering in his arms, "Someday, my son, you will be reunited with your brothers."
