Chariots thundered, sand churned under spinning wheels, the air rang with the war cry of Egyptian soldiers led by their king and his thirst for vengeance. Rameses could not make out Moses amongst the Hebrews, but he didn't care. Moses was no more his brother than any Hebrew. If Seti had killed Moses along with the other Hebrew babies, Egypt would not lie in ruins, tempting neighbours to invade while it was weakened.

Once, Rameses would've done anything to protect Moses.

Once, so long ago, Moses would have done the same.

Now their protection of each other was lost forever.
