Nova Roma

Chapter 115 - Meeting with Mictlantecuhtli and Hades

When they entered the room a supernatural cold felt and they could see a child with Anahuac characteristics sitting in a chair and next to him a white-skinned man with a long beard.

In the same way, they looked at Flavio and Hellena, the man with a beard spoke "What a surprise to see our lost family member, as you have been Flavio I am your brother/uncle Hades.

It is a pleasure to meet you even though these are not the best circumstances, but tell me you have come to see how I took the soul of Amancio, this mortal who seems to have liked Ares very much and forced me to come for him. "

The boy in the chair looked at Hades "You’ll have to wait, old man, Huitzilopochtli wants him as his warrior, you don’t know how annoying the hummingbird god can be when he wants something."

Hades looked at the boy with some hatred "Brat for your information was born in the territory of our influence, therefore his soul belongs to us."

The boy sighed and pointed to Amancio "If I remember correctly your" territory "wasn’t yours until Flavio arrived in the Americas and you could wake up, therefore his soul does not belong to them and if he dies in the Anahuac region it is our soul."

Hades squeezed his cane with force "What territory Anahuac you mean, we are currently in Origin Civitatem capital of the empire of Nova Roma, where the main religion is about us the Greek gods"

The boy got up and stood on the chair where he was sitting, to stare at Hades "Look, old man, don’t make me remind you that religion has merged and whether you like it or not, it is also our territory and the soul of Amancio belongs to us."

Before the conflict escalated to one more Flavio took a step forward "Gods calm, it seems to you the following let the soul of Amancio choose in case he dies.

If he does not die then they will have to wait for the soul that seems to them, it does not sound crazy and you do not have to fight. "

The Hades and the boy looked at Flavio knew that a fight will be counterproductive therefore it is the best option that Amancio chooses, that way there will be no kind of fight since Amancio himself chooses where he wants to go to serve.

The boy turned to see Flavio "For me, there is no problem, I guess we will have to wait for him to die or survive, by the way, Flavio let me introduce myself I am Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death.

A pleasure to meet you, Mother Tonantzin informed us that you will visit us. Do not hesitate to visit me in the new Tartar. I want to be the godfather of your daughter, Felix, my wife Mictecacíhuatl doesn’t stop talking about what Felix would be perfect to be a goddess of the underworld. "

Flavio scratched his head "With pleasure Mictlantecuhtli, we plan to go in a few days since my children want to see their godmother Tonantzin and grandmother Toci, it seems that the children have respect and affection for the goddess Toci.

Also if you can tell Mayahuel that Quetzalcoatl will visit her with us it would be perfect. "

Mictlantecuhtli let out a few laughs "Hahaha, that feathered serpent is better he presented or Mayahuel’s grandmother a Tzitzimime wants to go down to look for him no matter how much he destroys."

Flavio felt a cold sweat when he thought of the Tzitzimime, some heavenly monsters shaped like skeletal women that would devour mankind once the fifth sun dies

His cruelty can be seen then from the timeline where Flavio’s grandmother comes from when he met her with Quetzalcoatl murdered her in cold blood.

Hellena noticed her husband’s fear and wanted to ask why she was afraid of the Tzitzimime but this was not the right place, what she did do was ask "Well since we are waiting for the fate of Amancio someone wants to play dominoes or cards in the meantime"

The gods included Flavio accepted and Hellena took from her bag a domino and a pack of cards she liked to carry in case she got bored, while the gods played Amancio was in a dream that was repeated.

Every time he woke up he did it on a ship that was surrounded by fog, he tried to find something on the ship that would help him know where he was but it was useless when he least expected it he would wake up again.

He tried to jump from the boat to the water but woke up again in the same place, tried to shout for help but woke up again.

"Where am I and why don’t you let me wake up, don’t you pretend you’re not listening to me?"

At that moment he woke again in the same way, he was about to shout for helplessness but decided to relax and enjoy the moment, since he can do nothing the best option is to wait.

Little by little, Amancio lost his sense of time while he was sitting, he devoted himself to observing the flag of Rome flying on the ship, to keep himself distracted.

It was then that a light dazzled him, when he woke up he felt a pain that almost made him faint, with his eyes adapting to the light he could see a child, a big lord, Emperor Flavio, and Empress Hellena playing cards casually.

With his few forces he asked for water, at that moment the four people in the room looked at him with surprise, Hades began to applaud "Amancio you are a hard bone to kill, your dedication to cling to life as mortal is fascinating.

I will give you something more than water you can consider it a gift for your perseverance, Hades appeared a glass with a red liquid and approached Amancio.

Once he was close he gave him a drink from the cup, Amancio could feel after drinking the red liquid that his body was hot soon after a cloud of smoke began to leave his body.

A reddish-black liquid began to emerge from his skin that began to dirty the blankets and his clothes, this lasted for a few seconds until the smoke began to disperse.

Amancio could feel that the pain in his body was much less and that he could breathe without problems, at that moment the boy approached Amancio and buried an obsidian dagger in his chest, Amancio could only close his eyes and wait for death.

But what happened was even more surprising, the dagger pierced Amancio’s chest and began to release a black liquid that began to travel through his body internally and externally, in just a few seconds Amancio could feel pain and relief in all his bones.

After this the black liquid was absorbed by his body, when he tried to move his hand he did not feel any kind of pain it was at that moment that Mictlantecuhtli spoke "If you are going to cure make it complete old man"

Hades clenched his fist "You brat need years to reach my level but we can fix it in the Underworld, there is no need to damage the mortal world"

Mictlantecuhtli gave a creepy smile "When you want old man, I will gladly show you what true death is"

The two withdrew to continue their fight in the Underworld, only Hellena reminded them very kindly "I do not care if they are going to kill themselves but don’t destroy the territory of my grandfather pieces of shit or you will see me, my grandfather, Flavio and very surely Quetzalcóatl and Apollo, crushing your asses. "

The two didn’t put Atencion on Hellena’s threats but facing a large number of gods is not a good idea, however, they withdrew to continue their fight in a place away from Anubis territory just as a precaution.

When they disappeared, Amancio could only be surprised, he had no words for what had happened, all he knew was that he was alive and healed.

It was at that moment that Amancio’s wife entered with her child and could see her husband covered in crap but quite healthy, without thinking twice he went to him.

While that family reunion scene was underway, Hellena took Flavio’s arm to leave and leave the family alone.

Before they could leave both Amancio and his wife thanked him for the miracle, this marked a turning point because the word spread throughout the empire of the miracle of Emperor Flavio, thanks to this the people created a cult of the emperor where when they are sick prayed for him that will recover, but that’s another story ...
