The Sage of Einar

Chapter 220 - The Birth Of A Flag

When the five teams had finished trimming their hair and beards, they began the process of making breakfast, which was mainly composed of meat, vegetables, and bread.

They also received a glass of milk each, when they finished they washed and tidied up the kitchen completely.

After this, they met in the center of the camp where Einar was standing in front of them.

"I hope you enjoyed the high protein and high carbohydrate breakfast because the training will be quite demanding.

Now, to begin, I want you to start jogging around this courtyard. You will only stop until I say so, that your sergeants and lieutenants take charge of coordinating them.

You have understood slaves !. "

All the slaves gave a military salute and shouted in unison.

"Yes, Herald Einar."

When they finished shouting, all the teams began to trot around the center of the camp. As they did so Einar began to walk towards the makeshift office he had designated for the camp.

When he arrived, he sat on a chair and waited for Seren to arrive because he wanted to show him the design of the flag he wanted for the tribe.

Opening a large piece of paper that was rolled up, Einar could see a beautiful drawing of a flag that he had designed.

The flag was completely red and in the middle it had a white circle that had a beautiful Juarist eagle that had open wings.

Below her was a cub, which was staring straight ahead. The cub was also standing on what appeared to be an island with a rather peculiar shape.

Behind them were some flags drawn and around the white circle was a garland that had white, red, and blue flowers.

'Although I had to use the eagle that Juárez once used to represent the republic, in this flag it will represent the bravery of our people and the freedom that the new world will give us.

 

While the white bear cub represents our indomitable side, and our ability to defend our territory against any kind of attack.

 

The island where the bear cub is has the silhouette of the American continent, which represents our future zone of conquest and land that we will defend until the end.

 

The flags behind the cub represent the provinces that will make up the nation.

 

The garland has a deeper meaning because it is composed of pine leaf which signifies the immortality and resistance that our people have shown in this frozen environment.

 

The poppy flowers have different meanings, the red one represents the death and blood of those who will die or died in the defense of their homeland.

 

The white represents the hopes and dreams of our people, while the blue flower represents the success of our people.

 

The red of the flag represents the blood with which this nation will be created, as someone once said there can be no peace if there is no war first.

 

Unfortunately, there will always be wars and I cannot guarantee that any person, kingdom or empire will never attack our home.

 

In this world of chaos, only the strong can survive and the weak are destined to be conquered ... '

Einar raised his head and could see Seren, who was accompanied by two women who were the best tailors in the tribe.

"I'm glad you arrived, please have a seat."

As the women sat in chairs set up in front of his desk, Einar picked up a glass bottle of herbal liqueur and produced four glasses.

"Do you like some liquor before explanation?"

The three women nodded at the same time and it was then that Einar handed them a glass cup, after which he filled the glass with herbal liqueur.

At the end of it, he filled his own glass and put aside the bottle with liquor. After taking a drink of the alcoholic beverage, a smile formed on that face.

So, leaving his glass aside, he turned the paper where the flag was drawn and let the women see it.

"I want you to make 2 Flags, the base of the flag should be red, the white part should be sewn in the middle of the red fabric.

When it is completely sewn, you must use green thread to make the garland. The poppy flowers must be made of fabric and placed around the garland.

The entire interior of the white part must be hand-sewn with black thread. To avoid errors, I will use a serigraphy method to capture the outline of all the figures in the white circle.

The only thing that will have gold thread will be the flags behind the cub and the eagle.

As it is an extremely important job, you will only have this week to be able to deliver the work. Tomorrow you will receive the two white circles with the figures drawn.

I hope you can do it in a timely manner. If you succeed, you will be paid a gold coin for the work, but if you are late, you will be charged a silver coin every day.

If you can prove that you are the best tailors in the tribe you will receive an order of 10 flags which is equal to 5 gold coins.

You will also be given a contract for the design of a military uniform for the slaves who are training in this camp. "

Einar took his notebook and began to move sheet by sheet until he came to a picture of a man in a fairly simple green uniform.

Which had a military beret, a green jacket, green pants and black boots, although it was a simple outfit, it was already quite revolutionary for the time.

When Seren and the women tailors saw the uniform, they were amazed at how radical the dress was. It was simply something they had never seen before.

Einar only smiled when he saw their faces full of doubts and surprise "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to make this kind of clothes.

It is not very complicated to manufacture but it will be necessary to hire or get more help to be able to make these sets.

Due to the quantity of uniforms, we will sign a contract to make 100 uniforms at the price of 5 silver coins each.

Because it is a clothing that concerns the security of the tribe, you will not be able to sell this design or accessories to any person or merchant.

The only thing you can sell will be the boots, but for each sale our family makes, you will take a silver coin. I think that if you sell each pair of boots for 3 silver coins, it will be fair to everyone.

What do they say, are you willing to accept this deal? "

Seren, who was quite interested, was silent because she was only an intermediary, so the final decision was made by the women's tailors.

The two women saw each other and nodded at the same time, after which they turned their heads to look seriously at Einar.

The older tailor, a woman with golden hair and green eyes, drank some herbal liqueur to clear her throat.

"We are willing to accept this job to demonstrate our capabilities. Herald Einar can be sure that my sister and I.

We will work hard to meet your requirements. We are sure you will not be disappointed. "

Einar smiled and opening a drawer of his desk took five silver coins, a pen, ink, and a document that had written the contract that had spoken to them.

"We will do this in the legal way possible, since the contract is written in Latin, Seren will help you read it in case you have any questions.

When you finish reading it, I just need you to write your names on these lines. If you can't write, Seren will do it for you.

But what you will have to do is place your thumbprint next to their name, because the fingerprint is unique and cannot be faked.

It is the safest way to sign any contract, in case it is required you can use a microscope and a little light to check that the fingerprint is identical. "

The female tailor, who was quite happy to have a new source of income, put her hand on Seren's shoulder to help them read and write the contract.

For his part, Einar only drank a little herbal liquor while he wrote on a sheet of paper the title of the future national anthem.

'Helligland ...'

After some time and after writing their names with the help of Seren, the women asked Einar to check if the writing was well done.

Einar, taking the document, began to read the names 'Karin and Edith, interesting names for two female tailors.'

After checking and seeing that it was well done, he took his pen and began to write his own name. When he finished, he put his footprint and he ask the women to do the same.

When the three prints were placed on the contract, Einar smiled and handed the five silver coins to the women.

"This is an advance of half of the gold coin for the two flags. I hope you can fulfill it in time to be able to sign another contract.

Now tell me if you have any questions or would you like me to explain something to you? "

Karin, the older tailor, shook her head and only pointed to the paper where the flag was drawn "I would like you to give me the drawing so I can get ready for work tomorrow.

That way we will be better prepared for work. "

Einar nodded and folded the paper so he could give it to Karin "I hope our working relationship is long and lasting. Have a good day Karin and Edith.

You also take care, Seren, because I will possibly be bothering you in a few days. "

Seren just laughed and gave Einar a goodbye hug "I'm always willing to help out in whatever way I can."

After this, the women left the office and left Einar alone, who prepared himself to be able to write the hymn that he had been thinking about in those minutes.
