Nova Roma

Xolotl after being told what his twin brother did could only laugh uncontrollably for a few minutes after this he patted him on the back and told him to support him in whatever decision he made.

After this, they talked about time and prepared themselves because on the morning of the next day they began with the construction of the base for the grand palace.

The weather at night in the lake was somewhat cold so Flavio was placed directly on the coals of the fire, unlike the fire made by Xólotl the conventional fire did not harm him and he could sleep normally.

In the early morning with the noise of some turkey Flavio woke up from his bonfire full of ash so he went to the lake to take a bath in its crystalline waters, the other gods also woke up and started the morning activities like preparing breakfast.

For this, Quetzalcoatl took some of the turkeys that the locals had left on the island and broke their necks and then plucked them, while Flavio looked for some Cuachalalate tree bark.

The crust of the Cuachalalate has many medicinal effects but for Flavio, the flavor of the infusion resulting from placing the Cuachalalate in boiling water is very delicious, on the other hand, Apollo made some vessels with mud and Xolotl prepared the fire.

The three had a delicious turkey broth with Cuachalalate tea, after this, they used their divine energy so that their bodies could not break the surface tension of the water, which allows them to walk through the water something similar to how insects walk in the Water.

They walked along the part of the lake where there was freshwater where there was salt water, the union between these two types of water of the lake was something that fascinated Flavio, the only vestige that was left of this union was the dike made by King Nezahualcóyotl to separate the lakes and you can see some sections in Mexico City.

After walking for a few meters they reached the center of the lake which was located on the salt lake, Flavio placed his hand on his chin while thinking it would be better if he pillars or created an island.

It didn’t take long for me to decide that an island would be the best option for this because the pillars can collapse but the island being an extension of land can better withstand the constant constant tectonic movements in the region.

Flavio smiled "Very well here we will build the foundations of the great imperial palace, after a little thought there is some way to create an island in the place."

Apollo scratched his head "You can but we will have to move land to form the island and then we will have to harden it so that it does not wear out over time, what measures will be for the base of the palace."

Flavio used his divine energy to create the model of a star-shaped fortress that in the middle has a beautiful palace that has a spacious courtyard "The palace will be surrounded by a star-shaped wall while the center will be the palace with a design Victorian but modern.

The interior patio is spacious and will have a shooting range, stables, and some other things, also inside it will have a system to raise water below the lake with underground tunnels that way there will be no need for aqueducts.

Of course not only that in each corner of the star-shaped wall there will be a temple dedicated to each of us, for the other two-star points I have not yet thought about it but we can always add some things.

I mean since our wives left us in this place we can build as we want, our workforce our rules although I am almost certain that any interior we make will be replaced by them. "

Apollo reviewed Flavio’s model and used his divine energy to modify some things with the 4 bridges that reached the imperial palace, he also modified the water pump to raise the water through the underground tunnels.

Quetzalcoatl, on the other hand, modified some things with the defensive wall, such as the fact that the entire construction will be done with quartz reinforced with enchantments so that it can withstand a lot of attacks.

Quartz is used because in the lake bed they found a large deposit of that mineral and being unable to leave the perimeter of the lake there is no other option to build, the only advantage is that in those quartz deposits there is also gold that will serve later to decorate.

Xolotl, despite being able to move freely, did not want to leave the lake since it was his home, so he did not make a complaint with the construction only at the base of the palace at the bottom of the lake he would have his own home, of course he would help in the construction.

To begin with, the creation of the central island Apollo created a force field in the perimeter so that later Xolotl using his divine energy will begin to create lava, so as not to leave Apollo alone Flavio helped his father with divine energy.

Quetzalcoatl was responsible for drying the lava of Xolotl, this process was done for 10 days in which Flavio and Apollo had already had a great beard because they could not move.

When Quetzalcoatl dried the last batch of lava the shield could disappear and with it, the water of the lake could return to its channel, in front of the gods there was an island of volcanic stone of more than 30 square kilometers.

Ten days and 9 nights cost him but they could finish building the island where the grand palace would be founded, as fully responsible adult gods after spending ten days working tirelessly they needed to relax.

Because the islands of the lake are not much, each one dedicated himself to spending time in different ways, Flavio took a bath in the lake and cut his beards and hair, Apollo used his magic to create a bed and sleep, Xolotl who He was one of the most tired returned to his cave in the lake to rest.

Quetzalcoatl used his magic to grow corn on the islands and placed it in some clay pots left by people who previously inhabited the lake to ferment the corn and produce some alcohol.

In the end, they are trapped on the perimeter of a lake alone with only some animals and plants what can go wrong ...
