Nova Roma Chapter 118 - Arrival at the palace of Mother Tonantzin

When they left the limousine they found a gigantic palace with a style very similar to the National Palace of Mexico with the characteristic that it had a facade with Mixtec forms (Reliefs in the form of ascending and descending lines) and a beautiful decoration with stone skulls.

The main entrance had on the main access stairs two snakes very similar to those in the pyramid of Chichen Itza, they were received by the mother Tonantzin who wore a beautiful Malacatera style dress that has some snakes drawn, accompanied by a beautiful Cempasuchil floral ornament in his head.

On his left side was an androgynous person dressed in a black suit Flavio could not know if he was a woman or man but he could be sure that person was Ometeotl a G.o.d who is a duality (He is man and woman at the same time) by himself and According to tradition, he is the father of Quetzalcoatl and three other G.o.ds.

On the left side of Tonantzin was another man with green skin and a black suit with elegant stripes, he had on his head a crown with quetzal feathers, Flavio could a.s.sume that he is Mixcoatl the G.o.d of storms and husband of Tonantzin.

Mother Tonantzin took a step forward. "Welcome, my dear guests, I hope the trip has not been uncomfortable."

Flavio took a step forward "Not at all mother Tonantzin, on the contrary, it is a pleasure to come to see you with the whole family."

Mother Tonantzin was happy with Flavio's comment "I'm glad Flavio but now let me see my little G.o.dchildren, I'm sure they've been growing well, also let me see the beautiful Felix I'm sure she's growing well under h.e.l.lena's guidance. "

Flavio scratched his head, he knew that Mother Tonatzin's hint was very blunt, anyone would doubt his father's abilities when he can't even know his daughter's s.e.x.

Yuma, Erendida, and Felix stepped forward to see them being received by Mother Tonantzin, the first to be embraced by her were Yuma and Erendida, Mother Tonantzin asked them how they had been and they told her their adventures.

In one of the stories, they told how Mayahuel and Quetzalcoatl joined together to create a wonderful tree after that everyone present looked at Quetzalcoatl who had a forced smile.

Ometeotl under the stairs and stroked the heads of the little ones "Don't pay attention to my stupid son, when that happens again just say my name and I will go down personally to show him some manners.

My name is ometeotl can you tell me, grandma or grandpa. "

At that moment, Ometeotl approached Quetzalcoatl and gave him a small pat on the face "I'm glad you're with Mayahuel and the fact that I will be a grandmother but if you make a union with the front children again."

Ometeotl approached Quetzalcoatl and whispered in his ear "I will cut your eggs and give them to the Xoloitzcuintles to eat them, I hope you understood son."

Quetzalcoatl with fear and sweat on his forehead just nodded "Yes mother I understand, I'll be careful from now on."

While Quetzalcoatl was being scolded, Mother Tonantzin was hugging Felix and talking to her to find out if she was better after her mother's death, her talk was personal and lasted a few minutes.

After this, Mother Tonantzin presented her duality deity to her husband Mixcoatl and Ometeotl, with this they were invited to pa.s.s, inside the palace there were a large number of servants waiting to receive orders.

These servants were similar to normal humans but Flavio knew that the only beings of the Anahuac mythology that can have that appearance were the Nahuales, one of those servants approached and received the travel bags of the imperial family and Quetzalcoatl.

While they were receiving the bags from the top, Mayahuel came running to receive Quetzalcoatl, when the two met they kissed and after that Quetzalcoatl sat in front of Mayahuel and took out a beautiful ring "Mayahuel would you marry me, I want to pa.s.s the rest of my existence by your side. "

h.e.l.lena was happy that finally the stupid Quetzalcoatl did something good as a man and proposed to Mayahuel, Flavio meanwhile sighed and raised his hands "I guess any occasion is good."

Even the Ometeotl G.o.ddess had a tear coming out of her face did not understand the strange way to ask for her son's marriage but she would be responsible, that is what she wanted to see otherwise her mother-in-law Tzitzimitl would have to devour her son.

Mayahuel began to cry and allowed Quetzalcoatl to put the ring on his ring finger, despite not understanding this rare way of asking for marriage, she only allowed Quetzalcoatl to take care of everything.

After this small but moving scene, everyone went to the large dining room to have a meal, the room was magnificent with a lot of amazing things, once sitting at the table.

Grandma Toci left the kitchen carrying a large pot with mole, carefully placed it in a corner of the table where the servants began to serve the delicious mole in the dishes "My dear guests and my little children this is a special mole that prepares with dzulúm and cocoa meat that I grow, I hope you like it "

The little one's Yuma and Erendida were the first to taste the mole, they like green mole much more than red, but when they gave the first scoop to their plate they fell in love with the flavor and continued eating.

Felix and h.e.l.lena, on the other hand, loved the softness of the meat that melted in their mouth as if it were b.u.t.ter and had an exquisite flavor, it was like the combination of pork and chicken taking the best of the two types of meat.

Meanwhile, Flavio was surprised by the spices that Grandma Toci had used to make the mole, after the delicious meal the dessert they gave them was a simple but delicious "Alegría", a Mexican sweet made of amaranth, honey, and pumpkin seed.

When they finally finished the meal, mother Tonatzin led them to a large room in the palace where a ball game called tlachtli was going to be played ...
