The Sage of Einar

When Einar had just heard Natukt\'s words, he decided to use a notebook, black ink, and a quill pen to draw a portrait of his daughter.

Everyone at that table looked at him curiously as they saw it was worth drawing a girl that many could recognize, including Natukt.

After a few minutes, Einar finished drawing it and showed it to Natukt, who looked at Einar in surprise.

"This girl is the one you saw in the dream, right?"

Natukt nodded earnestly "She appeared out of nowhere and allowed me to see my son before she led him to a place that glowed like a white glow.

My son referred to her as an entity, so I can assume she was a goddess, but why can you draw her how she looked identically. "

Einar simply wanted to say that it was because she was his daughter, but he couldn\'t say that, so taking a deep breath he smiled.

"She is a very important Valkyrie for me and the tribe, she has the mission of taking the souls of the dead to a better place.

I think the reason why you were able to see your son is just that she wanted you to be able to say goodbye. It may be something magical but you could even see her somewhere where there is death.

If she wants it, but I want to ask you, will your people be prepared to obey the rules of the tribe and the assembly of the Thing. "

Natukt nodded seriously "You should know which place we come from is quite inhospitable and living conditions have worsened since winter has not stopped falling.

But because of that and the barbarians of the south, I think my tribe will have no problem accepting the rules of this place, also this place is quite warm and there are no enemies that put the development of the tribe at risk.

Einar I also want to see how my tribe can have smiles on their faces, even the children I want them to have that innocence that is lacking in our tribe.

The simple fact that you can care for orphans is something amazing, and I wish that for my tribe.

As for the number of tribe members in my tribe and using the numbers, you are teaching me, there should be more than 300 people in my tribe.

I know it may seem little but they all know how to fish, sew and fight, although we are not lovers of battle we can kill if necessary. "

Einar smiled and looked at everyone at the table who was looking at him curiously because they didn\'t know what they were talking about.

"Natukt proposed to me a deal that will benefit our entire tribe, which is for all of us to accept that they bring their tribe to the island.

On the condition, that they have a seat in the assembly of the Thing and are considered members of the tribe.

There are approximately 300 members of his tribe so it is more than enough to find a new town somewhere near our capital.

But that it is also close to the new town that we formed in the fort north, so I think that walking the Ansgar road is important.

Either way, they don\'t have to worry that they will betray us since I will personally supervise them.

The new village or town that is made will have to have more members of our tribe than theirs so that they can be assimilated.

Both culturally and in language, in that way the future populations that inhabit that place will be loyal to our word and the well-being of the tribe.

But I think we should vote on time to approve if they stay or have to go with only one trade route? "

Sven, who was quite surprised with his son because he had been able to get a whole tribe to want to emigrate and join them. He could only raise his hand with pride.

Asgot for his part did not even question Einar\'s decisions, raising his hand as he knew that there would be new members in the new religion they were creating, not to mention that Einar was the husband of his daughter and the father of his future grandchildren.

Seren simply raised her hand as she had a deal with Einar so she could accept any proposal he made on the Thing.

After this, all the other members raised their hands in approval, so at that time Einar knew that he had 300 new people to build and take care of the tribe.

"Natukt the assembly has been launched and I am proud to say that we have accepted your proposal for your tribe to come live with us.

But you must remember that you have to maintain order in everything they do and that for no reason they will question our rules.

In return, you will be in a protected place where children can study and parents can do their homework without problems.

Also in the future, we will create a town near the capital so that a good part of your tribe and part of ours can found a new settlement.

Although as a personal favor I would like to ask you something, how should I know at the moment we cannot go where those barbarians from the south who are attacking you are.

But I would like to ask you that if you have some tribes close to you, try to convince them to give you their children, women or children who cannot take care of them.

You also invite people to emigrate with you, the more we are the better, but if that doesn\'t work try to trade with them to get more Ivory like the one you gave me and also seeds. "

Natukt was surprised "Seeds ...

Although my tribe has no way to sow, it does have quite a few sacks of a golden grain that merchants from the far south called Tlaoli.

According to their words, a great kingdom exists far to the south, they call themselves Mayas, and it seems that there are other peoples with whom they fight.

Anyway, that merchant also gave us seeds from four other plants, which we could only save because we did not know how to sow them.

So we have only kept them, as I remember the first was called Xictitomatl, Tamalayolotli, Tlalkakawatl and the last one that they could trade with people from the southernmost part.

It is from a plant that bears beautiful flowers, and something called Kamojtli grows in its roots.

Einar was left with his mouth open for a moment because the names Natukt had said were Nahuatls, belonging to the central region of Mesoamerica more than 2000 kilometers from where they were.

\'To think that in this way a large part of plants and animals were exchanged during the time before the invasion of the Europeans.

 

If only they had left records, but it is a pity that although the Spanish, Portuguese, and English have done so, they have destroyed them in their conquest of the continent throughout the centuries.

 

But for my alma mater1 and my duty as a reincarnated man, I am willing to give light in the dark to the history of the American continent and that of the Nordic tribes.

 

That no information is lost in the future, that historians speak of me as a bastard or as a hero for history, in any case, history is only shaped by the society in which it is being remembered ...

 

But that\'s not the point if I remember my Nahuatl well. He said it had Corn, Tomato, Yellow Squash, Peanut, and Potato seeds1. \'

With a great joy that he could not hide, Einar looked at everyone at the table who did not understand his happiness "The seeds that you have Natukt are fascinating, please when you bring them, avoid getting wet or wet.

I will give you enough salt to a place near the seeds so that they do not rot on the return trip. You must take care of them as much as you can because they have immense value for the development of the tribe.

When you arrive I will perhaps show you the first greenhouse, a completely transparent construction that will allow you to sow anything at the correct temperature.

Anyway, I hope you can do that, also if you can try to draw a map of your journey at sea and the coast that you have to travel to. "

Einar then ran through some pages of his notebook, flipping through some strange and other fantastic pictures until he came to one that appeared to be the map of Iceland and Greenland.

Pointing to the island and the place where the tribe was, Einar looked seriously at Natukt "You too should make a drawing similar to this, as it will be our next maritime chart in the near future.

You do not have to worry about those barbarians from the south who are attacking you and who did so much damage to your tribe. In the future, I will take care of conquering them and turning them into slaves.

As for the drawings, I will show you in the time that you are still with us while preparing the salt and dried meat that you will require so that your tribe and any extra person can travel without problems.

If at any time you do not have enough transport, do not hesitate to exchange salt for canoes, if it is not enough, just try to arrive with us so that we can send boats for you.

No one should stay because I do not know when we can return, and perhaps at that moment, there will no longer be anyone waiting in that cold place. "

Natukt nodded and began to tell his warrior brothers the young red-haired Einar\'s decision.

While Einar for his part began to tell everyone about the miraculous seeds, that will completely revolutionize the island.

UNAMIn that order ;)
