The Sage of Einar

At night Natukt found himself having a nightmare while remembering the fire that had consumed one of the houses that was near the cabin where they were.

He could remember the noise of explosions and those flaming stones falling from the sky but despite that in his own nightmare.

What upset him the most was the fact that he saw a little boy leaving her house while he was on fire. His little body which could only bear taking a few steps fell in front of him.

Although he knew that that little boy had nothing to do with him, in his nightmare when he knelt down to see him more closely he realized that it was his son who had died years ago when he drowned after falling from the canoe where they were.

"Ivik my son, what are you doing in this place? You shouldn't be here, I saw how you drowned years ago, you can't be that child I saw burning a week ago.

Please tell me what you do in this place ... "

His voice interrupted when hearing some small steps behind his back which did not stop until from his left side came a girl who was wearing strange clothes.

Natukt, who was quite surprised by the surprising appearance of that girl that he had never seen, could only remain silent and observe what she was doing.

Because somehow he knew that it was possibly an entity like a God, although this could only be intuited by the sensation it caused that girl.

The girl only gave him a look and ignoring his presence and walked slowly towards where the charred corpse of her son was.

When her little hand touched the charred corpse, then something surprising happened, because what is supposed to be in a charred corpse begins to recover quickly and magically.

Natukt seeing how the charred corpse of his son had begun to recover, could only start crying because he had long forgotten what his son really looked like.

He could only remember it because of a small ivory amulet he made in his honor, days after he drowned in that accident.

When Ivik's corpse was fully recovered, this how-to put on magic stood up and opened his eyes so he could see his father who was crying uncontrollably.

"Father, you shouldn't cry anymore, what happened was never your fault or someone else's, that's what as a child I was curious to see what was in the water.

To my misfortune, he did not tell me the danger of my actions and then I just fell into the cold water of the sea. Everything was painful at the beginning because I could not breathe.

But then only everything ended and everything became dark, although now it is different because the girl you can see is an entity that has promised to take me to the afterlife.

Father, you may not understand it now. But I am sure that we will see each other again in the future, I hope that I can be strong with my brothers and with my mother.

Asavakkit Taatax. "1

After saying goodbye to his father, the boy took the hand of that girl with strange clothes and began to walk towards a strange light which appeared in front of them.

Natukt seeing that white light, feel a sense of tranquility and inner peace as if all his problems had been solved.

So he only looked with some sadness but with a feeling of inner peace as his son was going away with that girl. After they crossed that light everything disappeared and at that moment he woke up from that dream.

Looking somewhat absentmindedly around the room, Natukt just sighed silently and a bitter smile formed on his face.

'I guess it will be the only time I will see Ivik again. It hurts me deeply but I know he is already in a better place.'

When he finished thinking those words, he got up slowly from his bed and went to the hot spring pool because he had to cool his head.

After taking a bath and having had some seal meat for breakfast with some strange vegetables called salicornias, he decided to go out and refresh his mind and think about the important things of his tribe.

Natukt who was walking through the streets of the Hegebak tribe.

He was analyzing how within a week after the fire had rained and some people had died, life in the tribe had fully recovered.

'It is quite fascinating to see how the young red-haired Einar managed to turn a real tragedy into something that spurs the development of his tribe.

But the ability to adapt to the pain of having lost a person from the entire tribe also amazes me. I can see the happiness on their faces because I'm sure they mourned their dead, but they prefer to honor them by working with a smile.

Not only that, but they have also built more of those strange gray houses and which use those red square stones as a base to later use that gray paste.

But he has also started to create a kind of cloth painted with strange yellow, blue and green colors, which I call a banknote.

Although I don't know what the main function is based on what little I could understand, I think something related to the system they use instead of bartering.

He asked me if I should use those golden coins or those bills in the tribe, but maybe the real question I have to ask is should I ask permission for my tribe to move to this island. '

Natukt who was passing near some trees looked at the happy faces of the people who passed him and carefully listened to some children who laughed in the distance as if that tragedy of a week ago had never happened.

"This place is quite quiet, there are no enemies, the sea provides enough food, and the climate is pleasant enough to live.

Not to mention, if I can move all my people to this place, I won't have to worry about the problems where we currently are. "

After finishing thinking, he continued walking through the streets since he did not tire of being able to see everything that the people of this tribe had been achieving.

As he was walking, he looked curiously at a group of children who were considered orphans because they had no parents.

Natukt could be sure of his assumptions because he recognized them because he had been watching them go in and out of the great hall during the mornings and evenings.

Orphans were a burden for him and his tribe, so most died shortly after being alone unless other members of the tribe took care of them.

Which was quite complicated due to the fact that due to climate change that had already occurred the constant flight or death of the prey?

Feeding one more mouth was a very complicated thing, but watching the children play without a care in their eyes and without the horrible look of hunger, a determination was present in Natukt.

'I think I don't need to think much more, our gods guided us using that whale to find this place, it would be irresponsible of me not to take the opportunity they gave us.

There is also the fact that my son appeared in my dream with that strange girl. Perhaps it is another sign that I must move my tribe. '

After thinking this, he decided to meet with his warrior brothers to talk with them about a possible union with the tribe of Einar and Sven.

During his return trip, he appreciated in a different way how the members of the tribe worked with all their might to be able to rebuild what they had lost.

Inside him, he had certain jealousy because he also wanted to have a unit like the one they had.

When he arrived at the hut, he met with all his warrior brothers who were talking about some things while appreciating his new iron daggers that Einar had given them the day before.

"Warriors brothers, today and after the dream I had, I came to the conclusion that our tribe is in a very disadvantageous position for us.

That is why I want to speak with you because I have the idea that we speak with the young Einar, in order to reach a council in which our tribe can move to their beautiful island.

If he accepts us here, we could start a new life for ourselves and our descendants, in this place, there will be no enemies that are attacking us.

Not to mention that our children and grandchildren will not have to be abandoned if we die because there is no shortage of food in this place.

I saw its orphans who are better fed and cared for than many of our children. That place may seem just as inhospitable as our land but it is quite different.

Either way, we will have to decide if we really want to move to these lands or stay in that cold place and away from everything.

Where we have to go further and further to get food for our families, risking our lives in the process, which does not guarantee that we will get what we want.

I don't know about you, but I don't want that life for my children and grandchildren. Do you want that life?"
