Chapter 22 - Meeting at Mount Olympus (1/2)
The trip in the Mediterranean of Flavio and Hellena was quite calm and did not present any mishap until before passing through the island of Crete
A group of pirates tried to board the ship where the elite guard of Flavio was responsible for rejecting the result after of a bloody unilateral battle are 50 pirates killed and 10 captured, as for the guard only 3 were injured
Flavio had no mercy with the captured and before beheading them personally hypnotized them to know where their base was after they released the location Flavio decapitated them and threw their bodies overboard while cleaning his sword changed course to the pirate refuge
On the way, Flavio prepared his soldiers for a confrontation so I review some strategies.
At noon Flavio disembarked on a small rocky island near the island of Crete where he led his men to start a massacre of garbage
The first thing they found was a woodwall that had just a few guards, the pirates were so confident that they would never be discovered that entrusted their survival to a little group of persons.
The guards did not seem to see the ship of Flavio dock in a blind spot on the island, Flavio led his boys to shoot their crossbows at the lookouts on the walls after the last of them died, Flavio threw a hook tied to a rope that helped him climb the wall of the fortress
Once in the wall he took off his sword and ran to the stairs to open the doors of the fortress in the process he found some guards that without much difficulty murderer the speed of Flavio was much faster than that of an average adult without mentioning that his short stature was a difficult target to attack.
Flavio cut heads leaving behind a trail of blood that quickly filled his small body with a crimson color.
During the trip he could see that one of the guards wanted to raise the alarm before this happened, he threw a short sword of one of the dead over the head of the lookout which fell without being able to alarm his companions
Once arriving at the mechanism of opening the door he turns it without much difficulty, letting his soldiers pass who without being lazy started their bloody path, after an hour of in the fortress small rivulets of blood that fed the ground
In the fortress they found some poor trapped women who had been raped innumerable times by the pirate shit, Flavio flatly disapproving the rape of any kind of women or children may sound weird if it comes from a Cantabrian genocide but one thing is to kill in cold blood and another is to violate according to their moral standards
The pirates who had been captured were placed in the center of the fortress and Flavio handed a sword to the women who had been abused by these shits and just said ”If you want justice take it with your own hands because if you do not you can never find inner peace, do not be afraid and considerate because they did not have it when they abused you, everyone reaps what they sowing ”
After those words, the women did not hesitate to kill the pirates moored in the cruelest ways, shouts asking for mercy resounded in the fortress but little by little they were silent until they left a sepulchral silence in the place
Flavio gave the order to leave the island but not before impaling the heads of the pirates, burning the fort, taking the valuables and take the survivors to the city of Athens, from where I could leave for Mount Olympus.
After a few days of travel the ship landed at the port of Athens, it was a pretty alive city where you could see the core of Western culture for the Romans even dominating a large part of Europe considered important Greek culture
An example of this was that the aristocracy and wealthy citizens of Rome had Greek teachers teaching their children (a situation that is changing little by little with the construction of schools that teach Latin about the Greek)
after meeting with the governor of Acaya (Name of the province of Greece in Rome) is headed on horseback with his people to the foothills of Mount Olympus (the largest mountain in Greece)
In the mountain Flavio began to release its divine energy to feel some anomaly to locate the hidden tribe, the process was quite Slow walked trails and some small plains that were formed on the mountain without much success
Flavio decided to take this time to help hellena to control his divine energy, to be able to release his divine energy Flavio had to make her angry so he started to whisper some unpleasant things to Hellena in the ear then his eyes turned red and her energy began to break free
The fauna began to wither around her as if the vitality was stolen from her, he had to hug her from behind to help Hellena relax as he did not want her to kill his elite guards by accident
Little by little Hellena had a more fluid control of her divine energy this training was not free for Flavio every morning her hip ached like the devil, but at least Hellena was always with a smile on her face.
