The Sage of Einar

In the afternoon, after the news of Laura and Daven's adoption spread throughout the tribe, the children were gathered outside the new orphanage.

Although some had sad faces of life that they had not been adopted by the one they considered father Einar, they were not unhappy either because they knew that Laura and Daven were special.

Everyone had realized for a long time that Einar had the two of them as favorites, but they decided not to say anything or treat them differently.

Because the life they were leading was more than enough for them, not to mention that they also treated them with affection.

In addition, all of them knew that they would continue to see Papa Einar throughout their lives, so their sadness was not too much.

On the outskirts of the newly built orphanage, there was a large platform, from which Einar would begin to speak, as he had to give a speech to motivate the tribe to adopt the orphaned children.

But it was not only the speech for them to adopt, but it would try to make the entire tribe aware that taking care of a child was not only a community task.

But it was completely an obligation that they had as adults. Also in the place, Einar would show the first letter of the rights of the children of the tribe.

Which was written with the support of the Thing assembly, and the bill of rights places special emphasis that any physical and mental harm to children would be punished by the Thing.

The abandonment of babies in the forest or anywhere outside the tribe was also completely prohibited. All children who were not wanted had to be forcibly abandoned in the orphanage.

Anyone caught leaving their children out in the open would be punished.

With all these rules, Einar thought to eliminate the possible threats to the children before the population of the tribe increased. In addition, he also had a rule that would be fundamental for the future of the tribe.

Which was that any child son of slaves or slave would have to study like any other child in the tribe and when he finished his studies, he would receive his freedom regardless of the status of his parents.

In this way, Einar wanted the slaves to be assimilated in just one generation; it was of no use to him to have a group of people trapped against their will.

Because history had given valuable lessons in which special emphasis is made that slaves always went to seek freedom and that would be a real danger for the tribe.

So he decided to solve it before it became a real problem in the future. In addition, it did not bother him at all that there were slaves who followed another religion.

Because the teachings that they were going to be given at school were nationalistic and patriotic, creating the concept of a nation-state.

Something that would be placed on top of religion, one of the most powerful tools ever created in human history.

When the tribe was gathered in front of the orphanage, Einar, who was standing with his entire family and his two new children Laura and Daven.

He looked at everyone before opening his hands and letting the children play some music to set the mood for the ceremony.

After a few minutes of listening to the music and everyone having relaxed, Einar took a deep breath and pointed towards the large building that was the newly built orphanage.

"Today we are gathered here to celebrate the inauguration of the first of many more orphanages that will exist in the tribe.

Although I would love to say that orphanages should not exist because no child should have to live without parents, the situations and circumstances that happen in our day-to-day have shown us that the danger of dying always exists.

So the orphanage will serve as a place for all those children who lose their parents for whatever reason can live a dignified life.

I also want you to know that with the support of the Thing assembly, I have created laws to protect children.

The laws are a series of reforms that will allow all children to be fully protected within the tribe. This will not affect the way you educate your children.

It will simply create an environment in which they can live without suffering any harm, as they must remember that children and youth are the future of our tribe.

If they grow up in an environment of evil, they will almost immediately become bad people and although it may vary from person to person, taking care of them is up to us.

The laws will be posted in all the places of the tribe. If you cannot read the laws, do not worry, there will be some children who will be there during the afternoons to read the content of the laws.

You must remember that as it is something related to the welfare of the tribe, you must be respected as our ancestral laws.

Now that we have finished talking about the most important topic, I would like to thank all of you who supported us in the construction of the orphanage.

Without your help, this orphanage school would not have been possible to build it. I want you to know that all efforts will be well used because the children will be able to live a life without problems.

In the future, they must remember that those children who helped will make the tribe an important pillar, where everything they do will help everyone.

But I think that I have extended myself too much with this little speech I think it is time for the children to show us the paper balloons that they have made for their parents in Valhalla. "

After saying those words, all the children stopped playing the instruments they were using and began to climb the platform with their paper balloons in their hands.

All the members of the tribe were quite surprised to see the strange things in the children's hands.

They knew it must be some Einar invention, for those who were impatient to see how it worked.

When all the children were on the platform, Einar and Asgot began lighting the wick of the paper balloon candles.

Causing the balloons to slowly inflate in the children's hands. When they finished lighting all the wicks, Einar took a flute and began to play a beautiful but calm melody.

It was then that Kassia and Helmi told the children to jump the paper balloons, which slowly rose into the sky, leaving a beautiful trail of light.

Everyone at that time the tribe forgot what they were thinking and just enjoyed the beautiful show they were giving those foil balloons.

When the melody finished, the tribe turned to see Einar, who was hugging all the children, who were somewhat sad.

To get the children to calm down a bit after hugging them, he got up and stood at the front of the platform.

"Family is very important in our tribe. That is why, as you know today, I decided with my wives to adopt two little orphaned children.

Adoption is something that I want you to learn because the blood bond is important, but it is even more important to give an opportunity to any child in the tribe.

But it is not only about adopting, it is about a commitment that all of you must make if you decide to do so.

You should take care of the children that you come to adopt as members of your family, the children in the future will thank you a lot.

The importance of being a father during your childhood will mark you forever if you members of the tribe wish to adopt any of these little children and consider them part of your family.

You are completely free to do so but you must remember that you will have to sign a document in which you take responsibility for the life of the minor.

In case you do not take care of them or do deplorable acts with them, they will be punished in the middle of the central square, and depending on the level of aggression or neglect they have done, it will depend on whether or not they lose their freedom.

In any case, if you want to know more about the subject first thing tomorrow morning, I will give a small speech in which I will teach you what adoption is and how to take care of children like our children.

Also, before you can adopt, you will have to pass a small exam in which it will be measured if they can take care of the needs of the child.

They must also remember that taking care of a boy or girl means that they can earn a place in Valhalla, for children are beings who lack any kind of evil.

So taking care of them regardless of the circumstance can result in the gods seeing you as true warriors.

Also, for all those slaves who have been listening to us, I am happy to report that as of today your children will stop being slaves but will have to come to school daily.

Well, they will learn all the subjects necessary for their life in the tribe, for the owners of the slaves can come to claim their compensatory payment in glass for the children of their slaves.

Also, since children are free from any form of slavery, they must live in a free and safe area, any mistreatment of children will be punished.

Tomorrow during the speech I will solve any doubts you may have, but now you can retire or go see how the orphanage is inside. "

When he finished saying those words, Einar came down with his family and went to the orphanage to see it in all its splendor. For their part, the slaves who had children could only cry in silence.

For Einar's words had given them hope, so the nickname of messiah began to be heard among the slaves, a very respectful way of addressing Einar.
