The Sage of Einar

 In the morning, the children who were gathered in the courtyard rejoiced when they saw Aila and Godi Asgot come out of the great hall.

Laura who had a smile on her face pointed to Aila who had a leather-covered object in her hands.

"Look Daven, it's the book that Papa Einar and Godi Asgot made in the last few days.

It's a shame that Papa Einar couldn't deliver it yesterday because he passed out from overwork.

I hope him are feeling better today as I want to thank him for allowing us to learn from the book he made. "

Daven nodded and looked impatiently at Aila, as he couldn't wait to start studying the knowledge that Papa Einar made for them.

When Aila arrived in front of the children, she let Asgot start talking, so she handed her the book.

Asgot upon receiving the book looked at the children with some affection, as he knew what the future of the tribe was.

"Children as you know yesterday, the herald Einar and I just created the first book of our village.

With him, we think that all of you will receive the knowledge of Odin himself and that with them you can take our tribe to a place even much further.

But you must remember the two most important points, the first is to obey the herald first and foremost and the second is that you must never betray the tribe.

Now let me explain how this book works because with it you can improve your knowledge of Latin you are learning.

As you can also learn to use the runes of our ancestors and with which I hope that you will become quite knowledgeable about our history.

Because they must remember that Latin is only a foreign language and that their real writing is the runes. "

After saying that little speech, Asgot lifted the book in her hands and ritualistically opened it in front of the children.

"This first book Einar called it a dictionary, as you can see there are words written in runes and their translation into Latin.

There are also some examples of how they should be used, so you should be able to do some exercises so that you can fully master both forms of writing.

Now prepare your sand slates as with Aila's help I will teach you the principles of the runes. "

All the kids ran to the warehouse to pick up their sand boards as they didn't want to miss Godi Asgot's class.

Once everyone had their sand slates, they began to listen carefully to each word that Godi Asgot said, and with the help of the book which Aila was walking him between the places.

The children began to make their first runes using their fingers and at the same time translated them into Latin.

Laura, who is quite enthusiastic, copied the rune from the book on her sandboard so that she could later translate it using the Latin alphabet that she had been learning with the teacher Aila.

The rune class lasted until noon since the time to eat had arrived, so all the children stopped writing in the sand and took everything to the warehouse in an orderly fashion.

As Daven was putting away his sandboard, he heard Aila call out to him, so he ran to where he was.

"Daven, you must go to the Great Hall as it appears that Herald Einar and a representative of the Thing want to speak with you."

Daven felt a little scared since he didn't know what they were looking for, but he had a feeling that it must be something important but not bad.

Since he had been following the rules, so he didn't think that Papa Einar would punish him without mentioning that he had never done something to upset some important person like a representative of the Thing.

When he reached the Great Hall, he was joined by Papa Einar and a slightly older woman who had wrinkled white skin and golden hair that had some white streaks.

Grimhilda looked at little Daven with curiosity, so from her clothes, she took out sweet honey and handed it to him.

"Little Daven, you must be wondering why you were called, right?"

Daven nodded his head, and it was then that Grimhilda smiled.

"Allow me to introduce myself I am Grimhilda one of the members of the Thing, I represent my Madsen family.

For the past few days, I have been speaking with Herald Einar because my husband and son are interested in your ability to tame animals.

You should know that not many children have the courage that you have shown and less at the age that you are, that is why I want to ask you.

Daven, do you want to learn to be a druid? "

Daven looked at Papa Einar and seeing his sincere gaze, he turned to Grimhilda and shook his head.

"Mrs. Grimhilda, I'm afraid I must decline since I'm not interested.

Since I do not believe that my destiny is to be a druid, also if I accept I could possibly see Papa Einar less and I would not like to be far from Laura.

She can be a bit annoying, but if I'm away from her, I don't think I can bear not listening to her. "

Grimhilda patted Daven's head "You don't have to worry about being separated from Laura or Einar.

The training so that you learn to be a druid can be done on your weekends, also if you accept you will be able to see the cubs and white foxes.

You can also feed them and take care of them, In addition, you will also receive some training from the Godi Asgot.

The only condition I want is that you adopt the Madsen family name and that you promise never to reveal any information of what you learn to another person.

Without permission from Einar and myself. "

Daven, thinking that he could spend his time with the animals and could continue seeing Laura, wanted to accept the proposal but decided to stop before speaking.

"Mrs. Grimhilda, if you agreed, you can allow Laura to accompany me when I take care of the white foxes.

I know they are not harmless animals like chickens or cows, but I really wish she could be around them.

She always talks to me about how beautiful they are and I feel like if she knows I can come in and she can't, she might get mad at me. "

Grimhilda looked at Einar who nodded "I think Daven didn't ask for something impossible to achieve, besides I don't think it's possible to separate the two of them.

But Daven you must remember that even if Laura agrees to be with the white foxes, she can only enter with the supervision of an adult.

That includes you as well, as both of you are still children and I'm afraid they might have an accident. "

Daven who felt the affection in Einar's words wanted to shed a few tears but held back as best he could as he thought about telling Laura the good news.

Grimhilda, seeing Daven's state, patted him on the shoulder and let him run towards the courtyard of the great hall.

"Herald Einar, that child is surprising, he behaves better than most of the children of the same age.

I'm sure it won't take long for him to master the techniques for him to become a true druid of the tribe. "

Einar who looked at the door where Daven had left sighed silently.

"That little Daven is a genius, but even though he can learn a lot, he's still a kid and that's why I don't want to over-saturate him with information.

Because he must enjoy his childhood, being a genius is a blessing but also a curse.

Anyway, Grimhilda remembers to prepare the schedule of activities for Daven's teaching, and above all. "

Einar turned to look seriously at Grimhilda "You must remind your family that Daven and Laura are two very important children to me.

So you have to take care of them and not let something happen to them. "

Grimhilda felt somewhat uncomfortable due to the fact that she could feel a kind of threat in Einar's words, but because she did not want to abandon Daven's talent.

She vowed to talk to his family to prevent them from letting the two boys do something dangerous.

When Daven reached the courtyard, he ran to Laura and told her about what he had discussed with Grimhilda and the new privileges they had.

Laura upon hearing Daven's words could not contain her joy and hugged him.

"Thanks, Daven, if it weren't for you I would never have been able to spend time with the beautiful Foxes.

I can't wait for the weekend to come so I can be with them and learn more about their lifestyle. "

Daven sighed and looked at Laura doubtfully: 'You only want to be with the white foxes because they are cute and furry.'

Laura seeing Daven's mocking face only gave him a little bump on his shoulder "Daven, we should go eat since I'm quite hungry.

Besides, I couldn't go without you, since I couldn't bear to see you eating alone. "

Daven then felt how Laura took him by the hand and led him to the great hall so he could only laugh and look up at the sky.

'Mom I will become a true druid, I don't know if that will be good but I am sure that I will help the tribe.

How Papa Einar does it, I can't wait to see what new things I can learn… '
