Chapter 131 - Home Sweet Home
What can you do knowing mathematics, physics, and the chemistry among other disciplines, I will never force you to be something you do not want to be, you are the only ones who have power over your decisions.
But remember that some have to take command of the empire, it will be a very heavy job but they will be rewarded when they see the citizens with smiles on their faces and the children with a certainty of being able to go outside without something happening to them.
Remember that the empire is not only by ourselves but by the citizens, it is also important that they maintain a unity always so that the empire does not fragment in the future.
Language, Culture, traditions, and religion is the formula so that integration is always complete if any of the three is not fulfilled the empire can be balkanized, remember that always. "
Erendida, who was sitting on Flavio’s head, with her small hand she pulled strands of Flavio’s hair "Dad what is balkanizing"
Flavio smiled "It is a word that is born from a region of another world called Yugoslavia, for years it was a single nation but never worried about integrating its inhabitants, with a different language, religion, and culture.
Yugoslavia disintegrated as people did not feel that those who ruled the nation represented their interests, in the end, a civil war occurred and Yugoslavia separated into small countries. "
Felix, who was still admiring the power of the atom, heard the story of Yugoslavia and wondered if Rome would remain united or if something changed with the arrival of the Zombies, but there was no point in trying to discover it because he would respect his mother’s last warning to stay away from Rome.
A few days passed before Flavio decided it was time to return, although this time there would be more companions was Quetzalcoatl with Mayahuel and the little Pilcoatl, also accompanied by Ares and Huitzilopochtli as they had to continue training Flavio.
For Ares, Huitizioposhtli, and Mayahuel to enter the mortal world without stopping time they had to take their human forms and seal part of their power.
Ares became a man with long golden hair with some scars on his face, Mayahuel became a beautiful woman with brown hair and brown skin, while Huitzilopochtli adopted a rather muscular figure with fighting scars on the body.
With everything ready, they teleported to the temple of Mother Tonantzin where a dedicated group of Praetorians has been waiting for a full month for the return of the imperial family and their VIP companions.
The Praetorians know that anyone who came with the imperial family would be gods and therefore it was necessary to treat them with the utmost respect, for they did not want to anger the deities.
At that time light in Yankuik Aztlan shone on the temple of Mother Tonantzin announcing the arrival of the imperial family and some VIP guests.
The Praetorians received the imperial family and their guests with the Roman imperial greeting, there were also priests and priestesses waiting to receive the goods when they were finally able to see the imperial family the Praetorians were surprised.
Emperor Flavio had more muscles and his body gave off a warrior aura that has seen thousands of battles, while Felix changed from being a girl to a young lady with a developed body.
But the biggest surprise was that Hellena had in her hands because she was a baby with Jackal’s ears like the god Anubis, the Praetorians and priests realized that she was the new member of the imperial family.
Flavio returned the greeting to his guards "Let me introduce Bastet the new family member."
The Praetorians shouted in unison "Hail Princess Bastet", When they finished shouting Flavio proceeded to introduce the other guests.
"Let me introduce Quetzalcoatl and his wife Mayahuel, this little boy you can observe is his son Pilcoatl."
Priests and Praetorians urged to show their respect for the gods after they finished the show of respect step to present to the gods of war.
"The two who can observe is Huitzilopochtli and Ares, they have come to train me, but they are also willing to train the elite of the army elite with the condition that once they die in battle they serve in their army as their faithful soldiers. "
The Roman Praetors upon hearing that Ares personally would train them and allow them to enter their domains as soldiers were extremely happy as it was the greatest honor a warrior could have.
For the Praetorians who were natives of Mesoamerica serving the great hummingbird god Huitzilopochtli was the supreme show that they had achieved the cusp of the warrior, they could only imagine wearing the jaguar attire that identifies them as the elite next to the great god Huitzilopochtli.
The only ones who seemed nervous were the priests and priestesses because they did not know how they had to take care of the gods with Quetzalcoatl is a bit different because it is a god-like Flavio.
But Mayahuel, Picoatl, Ares and Huitzilopochtli are gods who have no idea how they will be, if they need servants or require special things, they can only be somewhat nervous with the requests made by the gods.
Flavio was glad to have returned but there was still the most important question "How long were we outside priestess?"
A woman with dark hair, green eyes, and light skin responded "Her majesty was out for a full month, the empire’s situation has been normal, only the weather has begun to drop in temperature.
Taneri began to make indications for animals and plants, while Artimer improved this month the supply of coal briquettes for the population spread across the provinces of the empire..."
