"No, I will come."
He began dressing. Dio helped him: they were not shy of each other. He dressed without hurry.
"What is this?" he asked, seeing a glow in the windows.
"There is a fire somewhere."
"Where?"
"I don't know. Mahu will tell."
They went into the next room. From there the fire in the town could be seen: the king's granaries, the barracks, the palace and Aton's temple were burning.
Mahu approached the king and fell at his feet.
"Life, power, health to the king...."
He could not speak for tears. The king bent down and embraced him.
