The Sage of Einar

After that event, Einar gave two orders, one strange and the other normal. The first order he gave was that the white deer should be taken care of under any circumstances.

Einar only explained to his soldiers that the deer was a divine sign that things would improve, so he used the excuse that it was a materialization of the Valkyrie Erika.

The Nordic soldiers had no problem believing that, as they had managed to see it many times, not to mention that the soldiers who had entered the castle first claimed that they could see it on skeletons.

The second order that Einar gave was to prepare the castle to establish a base of operations once the kingdom of Oriel was conquered.

From that place, an ultimate attack would be launched against the kingdom of Ulster, so that castle would serve perfectly to coordinate the scouts.

That they would be sent to search all the baronies of the kingdom of Ulster in search of the enemy army since Einar thought to have a decisive battle with them.

That is why he needed to know where the enemy army was to be able to annihilate it, since in that way he could prepare absolutely all the necessary things to face the enemy army.

That day everyone rested in the castle, which was arranged to be able to have people again. The main room was prepared so that Einar and Dreide could be together.

While they were resting in bed and the fire in the fireplace in the room warmed that place.

Dreide looked seriously at Einar. "I know you said that in the future you would tell me something about Erika, but why she seems to be very important to you.

I find it quite strange that you can continue talking to her with such familiarity; I don't want to pressure you, but I would at least be interested in knowing what that Valkyrie is for you. "

Einar kissed Dreide's lips and hugged her affectionately "Erika is my daughter, it's just that she, for a reason I don't know became a Valkyrie.

I don't know much about everything she does, but I can tell you that many times soldiers or citizens have seen her near some place where people die.

That is why she is a Valkyrie, because one of the principal duties of the Valkyries is to take souls to another place.

That's what Erika is to me, but I think it's too early to be able to tell you more about my past, however when the time comes I will take care of telling you all the things you want to know. "

Dreide took a deep breath and hugged Einar more affectionately "I don't think I should have asked that question, it must have been something very difficult to answer."

Einar shook his head. "It is not something complicated to say, because even if she is dead I know that she is with us and that she has to do a job.

Although what I can tell you is that I will work my whole life until I no longer have the strength in me to be able to free my daughter from that work.

I still believe that a little girl should not suffer a fate like that."

The next day most of the army made their way to the walled monastery of Ard Mhacha, which was supposed to be the capital of the barony.

The path in the snow was quite comfortable because, as the terrain was completely flat and there were no trees that stood in the way, they were able to reach the walled monastery.

Which had a somewhat peculiar shape because it looked more like an Anglo-Saxon style church than a monastery. Einar could notice these differences because of his knowledge of ecclesiastical architecture.

With his finger, he pointed to the monastery. "You must remember what this monastery looks like because we are going to be seeing that style of construction on the island of Brittany.

If you realize the vault shape and the way it is made, it is built to be an extremely space efficient building.

But without sacrificing the quality of the construction, which is specially built so that it can be resistant to the attacks of the enemies.

Unfortunately, against our weapons it is a completely useless fortress, however I really like this kind of construction. "

At that moment, Einar gave the order to begin the siege of the walled monastery of Ard Mhacha, while the soldiers surrounded the monastery.

A young messenger approached the monastery to demand the surrender of the place, when the young messenger arrived in front of the wooden gate of the walled monastery.

He realized that he seemed to be alone, so he shouted louder. At that moment, the doors of the walled monastery opened and an old monk came out of that place.

"Young messenger we will surrender as long as they can help us because in this monastery there are only babies and elderly people.

Long ago, our people left with the coalition army to serve as helpers. Only I stayed because I am too old to fight.

However, many very young or very old people also left me in this place. We are the only inhabitants of this place.

I hope you can guarantee our safety, as I would really hate to have to fight you in a battle that would only cost the lives of innocents. "

The messenger heard the old monk's words, so without wasting time he started running towards Einar.

Einar, hearing the words that the monk had said could only form a satisfied smile on his face, as he was completely convinced that he had been lucky.

Because of this, he ordered the army to prepare food and blankets for the refugees in that monastery, the old monk seeing the large number of soldiers who were approaching carrying food and other items that were needed.

He could only take his crucifix and pray in silence because he had saved many people who would live a much better life than the one he had lived during his childhood in that same monastery.

The soldiers entered the walled monastery. The first to enter brought food with them, which they planned to distribute among the refugees.

Before long, some soldiers also entered, who were to supervise that there were only people with the description of the old monk.

Fortunately, in the monastery they only found the elderly and babies. Einar, seeing this, gave the order that the babies be taken care of.

For all of them would be taken on a trip to Iceland, where they could grow up in state orphanages until they could be adopted.
