The Sage of Einar

Because of the increase in population, the new towns that would begin to be created would be made in the southern part of the island.

That is why one of the many explorers who was checking the shoreline was surprised to see a beautiful, black beach.

When he got closer to see the impressive beach more closely, he realized that the sand was not sand, but some black pebbles.

When the explorer thought about oil, he thought that there must be oil on the beach, so he took a sample and started on his way to the nearest dock to take it with Einar.

Einar, who was supervising the construction of the Nordic institute, the huge boarding school for thousands of children.

While checking the construction area, he gave advice to the slaves so that the construction was done in the best possible way.

Although they are in a seismic zone, Einar used good foundations and modern construction techniques, which reduced the weight of the construction.

This to avoid that in case of earthquakes, the damage to the children would be greater.

To avoid tragedies, he created specially prepared emergency exits as well as an intensive course so that teachers and directives of the school could act.

Not only did the school have emergency exits, all new construction must have them by obligation.

This because you had to have a correct way of reacting when living in a dangerous area. The previous outbreak of the volcano was a reminder that things had to be changed.

While he was reviewing the construction at the dock, a ship had arrived with the explorer who, upon reporting a possible oil discovery, was given an emergency horse.

When the explorer reached the school's construction area, he was surprised by the immense size of the building.

After searching for some time, he managed to find Einar.

"Herald Einar, how good that I found him. In the south, I was able to find a beach with a black stone that looks like the oil that merchants bring.

I didn't know if it was the precious oil, but I still brought a sample so you could see it.

The place where I got it was a completely black beach that had a very powerful and dangerous swell. "

At that moment, the explorer took a glass jar with black stones and handed it to Einar.

Einar, having the bottle, uncovered it and smelled it. The first thing he noticed was that it did not have a petroleum scent, so he took a stone and realized that it was basalt.

At that moment, he remembered a conversation with his daughter Erika.

"Dad, I was doing research on Iceland and I discovered that there was a big beach named Reynisfjara.

 

You promise me we can go; it is a beautiful black stone beach which is a tourist attraction.

 

It is not for swimming but it looks very good, as I could read it is due to its color because there were hot magma currents in the place.

 

Like the one we saw in the documentary about the Popocatepetl and the island of Hawaii.

 

Then dad we can go. I want to see that place because I am sure that the Vikings in that place created some beautiful history.

 

I want to be able to hear it ... "

 

At that moment, the memory stopped abruptly and Einar watched as his daughter pointed to a calendar that had a date marked in red.

Einar tried to speak to Erika, but at that moment, he regained consciousness while holding her head.

'What did you try to tell me with the Erika calendar, an attack, someone's death, something that will happen...'

Einar took a deep breath and looked at the explorer with a smile. "That beach has no oil. Its name is Reynisfjara, a volcanic rock beach.

It is a dangerous place but a good place to become a tourist attraction. Near it make a town with the name of the Valkyrie Erika.

She will be very flattered if they do. I am sure that many times she will appear in that place. Just remember that it is not a good place to swim or fish because the waves are dangerous.

Put warning signs in the place so that you cannot enter the sea. "

The scout nodded and walked away while Einar only looked at the vial of black earth in his hands.

'Erika, something is going to happen but what can it be and why did it have a date on the calendar.'

Einar took a deep breath and began to walk towards his office to be able to calm down because the vision he had with his daughter had a great impact on him.

While this was happening in Aachen, Duke Gautier met with the emperor to be able to report and report on his trip.

This is because she learned that Princess Adelaide was under house arrest with her father.

So he had no choice but to tell everything he had experienced to the emperor. When he stood in front of the emperor, Ludovico looked at him seriously as he put one knee on the ground.

"Emperor Ludovico, I have returned from a trip I made for Princess Adelaide and a request from her father, Emperor Charlemagne.

On the trip, I went to Constantinople and traveled through the northern lands for months, confronted pagans, and destroyed their fleet using Greek fire.

All to be able to search for Kassia of Thrace, his stepsister daughter of Emperor Charlemagne and Empress Irene.

I was able to find her, but to my surprise, she married a young man named Einar, a Norse king who seems to be too capable.

In his eyes I could see the gaze of his father, the Emperor Charlemagne, although he is far away in the north on an island that appears to be made of ice.

That is all the information I can give, along with the fact that there is a group of thousands of guards loyal to Empress Irene, who swore allegiance to Kassia. "

Ludovico, who had a golden cup, squeezed it with his only hand and took a deep breath. "When we finish destroying the pagans, we will start a crusade against them.

She may be my sister, but marrying a traitor and pagan is enough for her to die with her children.

But they will not go anywhere, so we can focus on the complete conquest of the continent to get those pagans out of those lands.

You did your job well, Gautier and it looks like you've had a long trip.

In a week, I want you to go to the battle front, as one of my most intelligent generals, you will know how to put those rebels in order.

Also, take the time to learn about the changes that have occurred during these months.

Now go, I want to be alone. "

Gautier nodded and walked away from the throne room, where Ludovico sighed and looked at his reflection in the wine.

'I guess I'll kill members of my family again. I'm sorry Kassia will die and your children will too.'
