Chapter 320 - Encounter with an Ek Chapat

When they arrived at the quartz palace, Flavio's women looked at him with doubts when they saw him carrying a baby.
Flavio, before he was questioned, explained the situation and how the baby was the daughter of the god Mitra.
"I want her to grow up in our home because I'm going, to be honest. I don't want to kill her since she's a baby."
Hellena was surprised and approached Flavio to put her hand on her forehead. "Love, you're very soft; maybe it's age, or you're sick."
After this, Hellena removed her hand and smiled at Flavio. "I like you to think this way, in any case, if the little girl represents a threat.
I will take care of her, I will not leave dangers for our children. "
Flavio scratched his head and hugged the baby in his arms; sometimes, Hellena can prove that she is a very firm woman in her goals.
The mother of the little girl watched as the god Flavio hugged her daughter, and this gave her calm before passing out, doctors quickly took her to a room in the quartz palace.
Flavio watched as the baby's mother was taken and only sighed, "Mother, you can ask father that if he can tell Asclepius if he can come to check the mother of the baby.
I have to go with Hellena, Yuma, Erendida, and Bastet to see the ancestor Ra, it was a promise I made to Grandpa Anubis, and we had to leave today
It would be a shame if the woman dies and can't take care of her baby "
Artemis nodded and took the baby from Flavio's arms. "You can count on Flavio, while his mother is weak, I'll take care of the little girl.
When her mother is better, I will ask for the name of the baby and her name, I don't think saying only the baby's mother is correct. "
After this, Flavio accompanied Hellena to pick up her children, during the night, they had agreed to visit the ancestor Ra.
Bastet, who was playing with his little sister Aule in Shini's arms, heard her father call her as they would go on a trip.
Bastet gave a little kiss to his sister and another to his mother, Shini, before flying out into his father's arms.
Yuma and Erendida, meanwhile, clung to their mother, then climbed into the carriage towards the south wall.
While this was happening in Origin Civitatem in the sewers of the city, a crocodile was being eroded by a humanoid creature that had 14 foots and seven human heads.
This being was tearing apart the animals which had entered its burrow around it were bones of some humans and many animals.
A group of Inquisitors were about to enter the sewers; this is because, in the last five days, four people in charge of maintaining the small sewer network have disappeared.
They surveyed the map of the sewers of the capital, which was not very large because the city was only two years old and still growing.
But they would enter the sewers that belong to the small Island where the imperial palace is located; these sewers were created during the first expedition.
Unlike sewers in the city that take their waste to an artificial lake where the waste passes through a filter of stones and sand to remove big waste.
The sewer of the island where the Imperial Palace is located is entirely different because it has four drains that reach the Tonalá river directly.
Of course, this is only allowed because the island prohibits any kind of metallurgical activity or treatment with hazardous material, which has to release dangerous substances to the Tonalá River.
The inquisitors decided to enter the sewers from the Imperial Palace because there is the most significant entrance because the Imperial family is currently residing in the Quartz Palace.
The Imperial Palace is currently the headquarters of the Praetorian guard, where the next people in charge of the defense of the Imperial family are trained.
Including the special praetorian guard specially made up of the ancestors of the Aztecs, who have proved fierce warriors.
Due to its ability to fight without using weapons and exceptional ability to run great distances.
After being guided by the Praetorians to the entrance of the sewers, the three inquisitors prepared their weapons for whatever they could find.
According to the reports and the time between the disappearances, they could know that what they were going to find to be a beast could not be a crocodile, a group of crocodiles because they could not assemble without leaving visible remains.
Unless the workers have entered the drainage waters where they would be easy prey for those animals.
Illuminated with only the light of the torches, they walked to the cold and wet tunnels of the sewers.
They were mainly surprised at how well the sewer tunnels were built; they had to issue that to see if it is a work that took just less than a year under construction. It was a real work of art.
Perhaps the only thing they regretted was the horrible scent that gave off the water; they walked for a few minutes checking some corners of the tunnels.
Until one of the members of the inquisition found a bone that appeared to be a human femur, after bending down and checking it for a few minutes.
The conclusion came that the person had been owed to a very perverse level because even the inside of the bone was empty.
This made them act more cautiously because they could be close to the thing that would have owed the person.
They followed a small trail of dried blood and some remains of bones until they finally came to what they could describe as a burrow of a horrible beast.
They could quickly discover that it was an Ek Chapat, a humanoid beast of 14 foots, and seven heads, which are beings that have no consciousness of themselves and act by the instinct, are a real danger because they kill any kind of living creature that approached them.
