68 Entrance to the second zone of the new Tartar

Cleopatra and Marco Antonio are perhaps one of the figures whose end was one of the most tragic, Marco Antonio was fighting when the news came that Cleopatra had committed suicide, I do not hesitate to take his own life by burying his sword, wounded and on the verge of death he was brought before Cleopatra where he died in his arms, soon after committing suicide with the bite of a venomous snake and accompanying her husband in death.

Hellena had hatred for her parents for having left her alone, but at the same time she couldn't blame them because being rulers they had to bear the weight of defeat, all she could do was take a seat in front of them, she didn't know how to start the conversation with His parents.

Cleopatra and Marco looked at their daughter who, being a helpless baby, became a full-fledged woman, they regret having left her alone with her brothers but they had no other option being captured meant being shown in Rome as prisoners and being executed in public At least his sacrifice allowed one of his daughters to grow up.

"I see that you have grown up daughter, tell me how life treats you," Marco said scratching his head

Hellena looked at Marco while wiping her tears "Thank you, dad, my life was nothing good in my childhood I suffered because of who was supposed to take care of me, I wanted to die but my fiance gave me another chance and showed me that you can leave the abyss.

I take care of myself since I was a girl being a little boy, from the moment I met him my life improved, in the end, we got married and I am the mother of two beautiful twins Yuma and Eréndira, I will show them the next time I come here "

Hellena turned her gaze to Anubis "I will be able to go back and see my parents again, Dad Anubis"

Anubis was glad that Hellena did not react violently to her parents, one of Cleopatra and Marco's biggest fears was that her daughter hated them but it seems Flavio helped her overcome her traumas "No problem Hellena, it would be great to see Flavio and little ones around here "

After this Hellena, Marco and Cleopatra began to talk about everything they have lived through the years, from how life was with Flavio to the danger facing the empire because of the jungle.

During the talk, sometimes Marco or Cleopatra was surprised by the stories Hellena told. It was easy to notice that their faces sometimes reflected hatred and other surprises for what was an incredible sight to behold.

When they finished talking it was already quite a night, therefore it was time for dinner the servants of Anubis Cynocephaly, they served a large banquet composed of cheeses, fish, and hummus spread on bread, for Hellena this meal was something rare for her since life with Flavio the food has always been colorful.

When she tried it she had to admit that it was rich but it lacks color, it is as if the food was boring, for the first time he understands what Flavio feels when he has no sauce, tortillas or beans to accompany the meal.

The dinner is over and Hellena goes to her room, tomorrow she would go to zone 2 of the Underworld to look for volunteers who were willing to join the empire when she lay on the luxurious bed a smile came upon her face

She had made peace with his parents and learned not to like at all the idea that the grandson of Octaviano César (Augusto) was his brother-in-law, in the end, they ended up accepting the idea because it is the happiness of their daughter and there is nothing they can do.

The morning was quite surreal for Hellena upon receiving the green sunlight on her face, she woke up and took a quick bath to meet Anubis and Zeus.

After breakfast she met with Zeus and Anubis to go to the 2 levels, the trip was quite calm and comfortable because a carriage with horses on fire followed the path until she reached a great Egyptian door that had two gigantic jackal-headed guards, and at the top of the door was the eagle of Horus.

When they passed through the door the sky changed color again this time it was gray with a blue sun, Hellena could only shake her head after seeing this strange scene, while I was walking along the road I can see in the distance a fairly large city.

Zeus explained that it was the largest city in this area, it was governed by the three main species that were imposed on its competitors.

The centaurs, Cynocephaly and Nahuales, their form of government was an elitist democracy where only the main races can vote to elect the rulers, the power is balanced in 3 consuls each in charge of an action Diplomacy, Military, and Internal Development.

They rotate their ranks to prevent corruption from thriving where they are commissioned when they entered the city Hellena could see a lot of different creatures without mentioning that the architecture was quite different from anything she has ever seen.

The structures are made of stone with wood in a rather stylized way, there are some temples such as small pyramids and Greek temples, the food they sell on the street is quite rare, three-headed fish or even meat of what appears to be an elephant with a hair.

When she asked Anubis about the name he said that it was the flesh of a Mammoth, an extinct species in our dimension but in this place, it was quite common in the wild and raised for food.

There were also some gigantic birds which were locked in cages ready to be sold, perhaps the strangest thing Hellena perceived was that there were no humans, those who looked human were supernatural beings.

The carriage continued on its way through the city until it reached a fairly large building located in the center of the city where it could observe a lot of activity that went from people leaving to carriages full of supernatural beings in metal boxes.

When Hellena asked Anubis about what currency they occupied in this place he replied that the main currency occupied were crystals that worked by crystallization of elemental energy

This worked for two purposes first being a currency and second being occupied for different activities such as the manufacture of potions and alchemy, in the new Tartar there is no magic in the environment is only crystallized and must be obtained from the crystals so that they can take care of the daily lives of those who inhabit this area.

Once they reached the entrance they got out of the carriage and were received by centaurs who guided them inside the building where they will present themselves with the 3 consuls to allow Hellena to recruit freely.
