The Eagle's home was on a Red Mountain Peak.
His children lived there with him.
[Killer of Enemies] went out into the plain.
Then, as soon as [Eagle] saw him, he swooped down on him.
He seized him.
He flew up with him.
He carried him back to the red mountain peak.
He had carried him back to his children.
