《Nova Roma》Prologue

In the darkness a guy is walking, he did not know where the north or the south there was only a darkness, he could not perceive the time just an incredible dark accompanied by a sepulchral silence, the boy despaired because did not understand what was this place, but he was asking himself, Is this what are after death?
"Where is the happy heaven, purgatory or is it that once you die there is only darkness and we are destined to remain in nothingness with our conscience because if so, then how horrible is death" the boy said to himself.
At that moment a light shine in the darkness the boy placed his arm in his eyes to avoid being dazzled "Finally something that is not darkness"
The boy immediately ran to where the light came, after running for a while he could see a destroyed temple lit with torches it was noted that it had been abandoned for a long time, in the middle of that temple he could see a large statue of a naked human being holding a harp with his hand and under that monumental statue was a cauldron with a flame blue not very dazzling but very striking
The boy walked in a curious way towards that flame, maybe he could find the answer he was looking for in that place, as he approached he could see in more detail the Greek marble columns that adorned that abandoned temple, in the When I arrived in front of that statue, he could see that there was a gentleman with a white beard.
He could see that the years had been charged Invoice with a senile, visibly emaciated face sitting on the floor dimly illuminated by the light of the blue flame.
"Excuse me, sir, could you tell me what this place is" asked the boy
The man raised his face and observed that young man with a sad look and said "This thing you can observe young is what happens when people forget those who care for them, one day you are a deity and the other you are a pagan for them "
"Are you telling me that maybe you are a god?" the boy said as he placed his hand on his chin

God: "That's how they know me by the name of Apollo, but that was many years ago now tell me what are you doing in my temple, I have not received visits from mortals for a long time"
Boy: "I would like to know too, the last thing I remember is that the plane in which I was traveling had turbulence and after that nothing dark and silence"
Apollo: "Wow, you are the first mortal who seems not to care much about the fact that he died and even more that he is talking to a god"
Boy: "It's not that I do not care" Said the young man while raising his hands in a sign of not caring
"But I really do not control anything I'm like you said a mortal, if I had stopped the accident but simply before an event of this magnitude I can only say shit that bad luck, and as soon as I talk to a god-like you, I'm surprised but in the end I understand that I'm dead and the first thing I hit is darkness and nothing else if I did not find his temple I would believe that I would be destined to a rather cruel hell, walking in eternal darkness without any kind of sound for the end losing my sanity and end up being assimilated by darkness "
Apollo: "HAHAHA !! I like you guy have a nice sense of humor" Apollo slowly rose from the ground
" Even I could not tell you why you came to my temple, it is assumed that the fate after death is decided by the deity to which you are entrusted, I believe that in your case you must to be Mr. Christ or something like that, by the way, you can tell me your name "
Boy: "Sure, my name is Armando or calling, as if I have a conscience I exist and if I exist I keep my name"
Apollo: "Ha! You reminded me of those Greek philosophers with that comment, good young mortal Armando you have cheered me the moment I will grant you 2 wishes, one because you are the first mortal visitor in more than a millennium and another because I like you tell me what you want "

Armando: "Interesting, I guess I'm lucky today, Can I ask to revive?"
Apollo: "You can but I'm afraid I can not interfere in the time you died because your time is controlled by Mr. Christ I can only send you to a time before Constantine"
Armando: "Wait, that's too far back in time"
Apollo: "I'm sorry it's all I can do" Apollo said while leaning on the cauldron of blue flame
Armando: "Well, if I travel to that time I can change the time, the last thing I want is to live with limitations"
Apollo: "You really amaze me mortal Armando with that question, but, if you can modify the time is almost a fact that the flow of faith in the future will be dominated by the cross and because you will be reborn with my power if the flow of faith of the cross is greater your soul will simply vanish into nothingness very similar to your curious concept of hell "
Armando: "Wow, you're telling me that if I can not change that flow of faith, regardless of whether my soul is dead, it will be destroyed"
Apollo: "Indeed, in your time there should be a phrase that says there is no free lunch in this world"
Armando: "FUCK, there is some way to avoid it. The last thing I want is for my soul to disappear. One thing is my body, but if my soul disappears, those are greater words."
Apollo: "There is a form, in theory, there is a continent called Abya Yala or better known as America if you manage to bring the Greek pantheon to it, it may prevent the faith of the cross from completely exterminating us gods of Olympus and with this will prevent your soul from being lost forever "
Armando: "Excellent, so I have to travel to the past to avoid the cross destroying the religion of Olympus, well I guess as a god you will give me some help I do not think you let me go alone without anything"
Apollo: "I remind you that you have 2 wishes as to the help I can give you, it can not be great, unfortunately I am the only god of Olympus alive and my strength is not too much, in this line of time the cross won and in the Past is not the exception once you travel to the past and successfully claim America will create another timeline and with it the gods will be reborn and from there you can receive some blessings from them, in the end, you will have to guide your descendants to prevent the cross win in that timeline too "
Armando: "Basically a contract for life and after it, luck mine, but I understand that I have no other choice very well if I have to choose the time I would say that in the middle reign of Emperor Augustus is the best, a Roman empire in relative peace it will allow me to get enough people as resources to launch an invasion of the Americas "
Apollo: "Well I like that you have accepted destiny as the help I will allow you to reincarnate as someone with a certain power, and tell me what your two desires will be"
Armando: "Well I'm going to a period quite behind in everything, my first wish is to be a god that would be grace that newly reincarnated died in my cradle for some weird Roman intrigue and my second desire is to have knowledge in all areas, what a tragedy it would be if I have no way to earn money and afford the trip, I am a mortal, not a guugle database to know what the hell to do in the middle of the jungle "
Apollo: "I can make you a god but remember that the power of faith is very little you can survive death sometimes but as long as you do not settle in the Americas your power will be limited as soon as the knowledge you will have, well I wish you a good deadly journey Armando I hope you can fulfill your goals, do not forget that the temples can give .. "
Armando: "Sometimes what...!"
Apollo: "Faith ..."
Suddenly everything was dark again
