The Sage of Einar

When the ship finally docked at the docks, beautiful music played by Laura and the children began to play.

All the surprised Inuit warriors looked at numerous children playing strange instruments, they also saw many people gathered.

Although they did not understand what was happening, Einar showed them a drawing he had made in which he tried to explain that it was a celebration for the arrival of the warriors who had been caring for a new settlement in the winter.

It was that the best way he could find to explain that they need to accompany him so that way they could see the whole process of celebration that was going to take place around the returning warriors.

Natukt, who thought he understood what Einar had said, asked his warrior brothers to accompany him, keeping silent.

Because he wanted to see what the celebrations were like in that strange place where they had arrived.

When all the merchandise had been brought off the ship, all the members of the tribe were surprised to see a large number of furs and ivory that had been obtained.

The ivory, unlike the furs to be distributed among the warriors, had been obtained by Einar in exchanging it with the Inuit so that the entire quarter-ton pole belonged to the Jarl family.

Natukt, when he saw how to finish lowering the large quantity of merchandise that the white people were carrying on the boat, could hear how the music began to slowly decrease in intensity.

While this was happening they saw how Einar met with two women who were pregnant, they knew it only with their eyes because their stomachs were bulging.

They also watched with considerable curiosity as the warriors reunited with their families, although they did not understand the language they could intuit that they were their loved ones.

For they also lived situations similar to those that the warriors of the tribe of Einar were experiencing because their wives and children also embraced them in the same way.

After the emotional meeting and the exchange of kisses, everyone began to take their corresponding places in front of a platform still next to the children who were playing the strange instruments.

After settling down, the music dropped in intensity, leaving only a background noise by two drums played by a little boy who had a smile on his face as he used his two little hands to make a somewhat mystical melody.

With the noise in the background then they saw how that young redhead who had brought them to his tribe, climbed a podium and began to give a speech that they did not understand.

But they could see in the faces of all the people present the joy every time they heard it, they in a very respectful way did not say anything and they observed everything they did with curiosity.

It was not until the young red-haired man finished giving the speech that all the members of the tribe then shouted with joy as the warriors passed by to receive their rewards.

When the rewards were finished, the Inuit tribesmen could smell a delicious aroma coming from some tables on which enough food had already been placed.

Not knowing what to do, it was not until Einar approached them that he invited them to take a seat in one of the many chairs at a table specially prepared for them.

When they sat down they were greeted by a large jug of herbal liqueur, as well as plenty of seal meat and some boiled vegetables.

Although the amount of food was extremely varied, due to the constant use of it for the different festivals and parties that had been held during the previous months.

It was spectacular enough for that banquet, although it consisted mainly of different meats.

The Inuit, who were not used to such sumptuous food, did their best to be able to eat everything that was on their plates.

But for what they had no problems was to drink the liquor that was in their jugs, in just all the banquet lasted.

All the Inuit warriors ended up quite drunk as they also drank milk liquor, which being sweet they drank until they fell asleep on the table.

Seeing all the Inuit warriors sleep, Einar ordered that one of the tribe's empty houses be cleaned and fitted out so that all the warriors could be placed.

When Natukt woke up in the middle of the night, he realized that he was in a warm place and that on his body he also had the skin of somehow many animals which covered him.

'The drink of that young leader is very strong, I have never tried something like that but if I can manage to make a deal with him so that he can get that drink I think all the men of our tribe will thank me.

I also have to admit that this place is quite magical, the houses are quite solid and have nothing to do with ice or leather and the food is fabulous.

It had been a long time since I was fed too; I think our gods sent us that whale so that we could meet these white and bearded men.

I hope that during the next few days I can get to know them better, perhaps with them, I can improve the precarious situation that the winter has brought, which has already been a year since it began and has not stopped.

I can only hope that our families are well in that cold place. If we cannot find a better place, I think I will ask the young red-haired Einar.

If my tribe can move close to theirs, that way, I'm sure we'll be safe from those crazy people who come from the south and are pretty wild. '

After finishing thinking Natukt took off the skins that covered him and got ready to go to the bathroom, to his surprise he can see that there were numerous drawings made on that thing that saw the young redhead busy making some small drawings that he did not understand.

Looking carefully at all the drawings that were there, he realized that some of them indicated that there was some wood there so that he could use it in the fire that was inside the house.

There was also a table that had a jug that held water and that had a small indication of how it should be served.

But what most caught their attention was a drawing that told them where they had to go to the bathroom, following that drawing they could see that on one side of the door was a thick white bearskin that they could use to go out.

So without wasting time, he placed it on him and prepared to leave. When he left, he looked curiously at the surrounding houses.

Though it was the massive wall near the house that had caught his attention, swallowing a bit of saliva.

Natukt wondered if only his tribe had such great protection, he would not have to worry about the attacks of the mad southern tribes that were somehow attacking them for no apparent reason.

The worst part was that all those tribes did not seek to speak but only attacked as if they were wild animals.

When he finally paid attention to the road, he can see a sign that had an arrow pointing to a strange construction.

So when he opened the wooden door he realized that there was a strange seat that had a hole in it and there was also something that seemed to be used to clean once the trip to the bathroom was over.

All this he could see in different drawings pasted on the wooden walls, being something new for him. He did what was in the drawings and when he finished for the first time he felt quite clean.

But what most surprised him of all was a strange machine that just by turning a lever began to release water with which he could clean his hands.

Although with curiosity he used something that looked like a yellow stick to clean his hands, when he smelled it he was surprised by the strong aroma it had but when he placed it on the water he observed something completely unreal.

Well, the yellow bar began to release a foam similar to that of the sea with which he felt his hands begin to clean in a simple but complete way.

At that moment Natukt was curious if he could bathe with that yellow bar, so he would ask the young redhead tomorrow if he could use it to wash his body.

When he got out of the bathroom, he went to the house where his warrior brothers were sleeping so that he could drink some water and go back to sleep because the dream he had was quite annoying.

At the dawn of a new day, Natukt and his warrior brothers woke up when they heard someone knock on the door, so when they opened it they saw the young redhead.

Using signs and drawings he explained to them if they wanted to wash his body, all the Inuit warriors who were curious followed him to a kind of wooden fence which, when opened, revealed a warm pool of thermal waters.

When they entered they could see that there were some drawings that explained how they had to enter and what they had to do before they could enjoy the hot water.

Natukt who was the one who understood the drawings the most with the guidance of Einar helped all his warriors to follow the steps before they could enjoy the bath with hot water.

After following all the steps and after washing their bodies using sulfur soap, they all enjoyed the warm waters that Hegebak village had to offer.
