Nova Roma

After the training of the two little twins Quetzalcoatl had already got the answers that Queen Nicte Ha made him, he could be sure that Rome would fulfill his promises and as for the matter of little Yuma and his taste for women, you can be sure that he will be a responsible man in the future thanks to his guide and Flavio's, therefore there is no problem if the queen leaves Yuma to her daughter.

After talking for some time with Flavio and Hellena, Quetzalcoatl replaced his energy body with the real one that met Queen Nicte Ha.

Flavio and Hellena saw Quetzalcoatl shine for a moment and became a not very large feathered serpent that was floating in the air, a scene that the little Yuma and Erendida loved, as they began to fly around Quetzalcoatl.

Meanwhile in the temple to Quetzalcoatl Queen Nicte Ha was surprised to see the god Quetzalcoatl disappear and the appearance of a white man with beautiful quetzal headdresses.

The man began to speak "Very well, my daughter, I have traveled to Origin Civitatem and seen the Emperor of Nova Roma with his children.

I can assure with my word that the treaty will be respected and that Emperor Flavio's son will take care of your daughter. "

Queen Nicte Ha looked doubtfully at Quetzalcoatl "How can you be so sure?"

Quetzalcóatl just smiled "Because I am the godfather and mentor of the two twins and none of my pupils will fail the Anahuac traditions that generations have been transmitting."

Queen Nicte Ha was calmer to know that her daughter would be in good hands and that the empire will respect the treaty, with those two pending solutions her city can see a new future.

After this, Quetzalcoatl said goodbye and reminded the queen to prepare 5 jade rings and give them to her daughter when she sent her to Origin Civitatem, these rings she intended to use as a basis for the creation of a protection spell, for Yuma, Erendida, Mitsune (the daughter of Kitsuné), Italivi (the adopted daughter of cockroach the unicorn) and Yatzil (the daughter of Queen Nicte Ha).

When Quetzalcoatl finished speaking, time returned to normal and the queen could see that the priest was on his knees as he began to clean his wound with alcohol he had bought from Roman merchants.

Queen Nicte Ha thanked the priest and promised that he would seek to expand the pyramid so that the Kukulcan temple was even more majestic than it already was.

Coming down from the pyramid, the queen ordered her artisans to create 5 rings of the best jade Lakam Ha had and asked the Praetorian guards to wait in the palace that day while making gifts that the queen had prepared at the request of the god Kukulcan.

The Praetorians had orders to wait and take care of the daughter of Queen Nicte Ha on her way to Origin Civitatem, therefore they had no problem staying in the palace, where they were received with quite pleasant meals for them as Cochinita Pibil was and pozol

The Cochinita Pibil was made with wild boar which was marinated with achiote and cooked in an earth oven, after being completely cooked the meat is placed in tacos and on them, a sauce made with habanero chili and xoconostle is placed.

Since there are no citrus fruits in the Americas and the cider trees that Flavio brought, they still did not bear fruit, the xoconostle, a rather sour cactus fruit, is perfect as a substitute for lemon because its acidic flavor gives a pleasant touch to the meals, this began to use Flavio and it was transmitted among the citizens of Nova Roma and these, in turn, passed it through merchants to other towns in Mesoamerica.

Pozol, on the other hand, is a refreshing drink made with corn and fermented or fresh cocoa, with a rather pleasant taste for adults in its fermented version and very tasty fresh for children.

After a rather delicious dinner the Praetorians went to sleep in rooms specially prepared for them, the next day they prepared to go out with Yatzil the daughter of Nicte Ha, a small 3-year-old girl who is complaining agreed to go with the Praetorians

She didn't like being with her mother very much because she was bored instead she preferred to listen secretly to the conversations that the servants had about the Romans and their great constructions or their fabulous inventions.

For the first time in a long time he could see with his eyes the mythical capital of Nova Roma Origin Civitatem, this made her very happy for that when her mother told her that she would go to Origin Civitatem and grow up with the son of Emperor Flavio with whom perhaps in a Married future marry, Yatzil knew that her marriage would not handle her but being able to be in Nova Roma that they talk about so much made her happy.

Before leaving in the carriage his mother handed him 5 extremely beautiful jade rings and told him that when he arrived at the emperor's palace he would deliver them to the person who could, Yatzil was surprised because when he asked what person his mother just said that they were orders of the great god Kukulcan and that they should not be questioned.

For Yatzil this was a sufficiently important motive because Kukulcán is the protective god of Lakam Ha, from an early age he grew up listening to how powerful he was and how he saved the city countless times from destruction by enemies, there is even an anecdote where the Olmecs threw A great attack and Kukulcan with his incredible protection caused an intense rain to fall at night causing the Olmecs to die in their drowned camp.

When Yatzil climbed into the carriage, he felt it was a new world, and even more so when from the carriage window he could see the Praetorians riding their horses with shining armor, everything was new to her.

The glass of the Yatzil carriage did not stop touching it, I could not understand how they had managed to create something transparent and hard at the same time, I also touched the seat that was quite comfortable and prevented her from feeling the movement of the carriage, after asking more questions she ended up tired and gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up he realized that in the distance there was a great wall and a bridge that linked it with the road he was traveling, on the way he could see merchants and Tamemes (shippers) carrying hundreds of products, some leaving and others entering.

The number of people who were walking was surprising for Yatzil who was not used to seeing so many people, the more he traveled along the road he could see beautiful buildings he was even surprised to see some soldiers with black robes who guarded a large building called the Inquisition, Yatzil He asked what was inquisition but quickly changed his eyes to people with bunny ears or earth-colored chaneques.

The whole city was magical for her, when she saw in the distance a beautiful palace knew that this would be her home, she was very happy to meet the emperor and her future husband ...
