The Sage of Einar

Seren, who had visible dark circles because she had been working the last 5 days, took from the anvil using iron tongs the metal plate which she had been flattening.

"Ibssen and Gerd, it's time to wake up!

I know you are tired since they have been working until dawn, but if I do not see them here at this time, I will take care of waking them up as if they were drunk. "

Gerd who was lying on the ground slowly got up and looked to his side where he could see the emaciated Ibssen who was holding a wooden picture.

'Seren is crazy, as she could make poor Ibssen do so many things, it's a relief that she's still alive.

Although I am somewhat sorry to have him wake up. '

Using his hands he moved Ibssen who opening his red eyes gave Gerd a look of pity.

"Please Gerd, tell me that we are already in Valhalla and Seren is not going to bother us anymore.

I promise you that if I have to make another wooden tablet for the printing press ... "

Seren who was watching the two men fool around shook her head and could only sigh.

Since he did not understand why they were complaining if he had only been working 5 days and only slept 2 hours.

'They are a disgrace to Thor and the rest of the artisans, but I suppose I can't complain as the other artisans have things to do.'

When Gerd and Ibssen got up, Seren handed them the wooden pictures they had been working on.

"Finish off the main press plate, please take care of assembling it using the blueprints Einar used.

For my part, I will take some time off because in the afternoon I will have to go look for him to show the progress we have made.

Also remember to place the runic wooden tablets in the press, as they will be the proof that the press works "

Gerd and Ibssen glanced at each other and watched as Seren left the workshop, so they sighed as they began the job of assembling the press.

In the great hall, Ulmer, who also had some dark circles, carried in his hand a delicate wooden box, in which he had the sample of the instruments as Einar had requested.

When he reached the inner courtyard, he began to walk, and, ignoring the small children who were writing on their sand boards, he arrived with Herald Einar who was sitting drinking some tea.

"Herald, I have finished with the two flutes that you asked me to make, I would like to show them to you and tell me if this is how you want them or want me to change something."

When he finished speaking, Ulmer opened the wooden box and took out two flutes.

The first one was made of some empty wooden tubes which went from highest to lowest, these were supported by a small rope that kept them fixed.

The second was a slightly more complex flute since it consisted of three parts which he joined, resulting in a long flute that had seven holes in the front and one in the back.

Einar who was satisfied with the result took the flute composed of wooden tubes and played a small melody.

The melody that Einar began to play was a very happy one, but it only lasted a very short time, although the tune was repetitive, it made the children happy who shook their heads.

When Einar finished playing, he stroked his chin "I like how it sounds but I think that for children it can be somewhat difficult to play, because it takes a lot of air.

I think I could improve the design so that using the pan flute is not complicated. "

After this and using a piece of paper, Einar drew some small wooden rails which would be placed on top of the wooden tubes.

He also drew a small piece in the shape of a mouthpiece that attached to the wooden rails, which had a tube made of leather that at the end had another wooden mouthpiece.

"These two attachments I don't think are complicated to create, just remember Ulmer that you must use resin glue to glue the leather.

Since this is the only way to prevent leaks, it also cuts the tops of the wooden tubes diagonally so that the mouthpiece can create the sound without a problem.

When you finish it, bring the flute along with the other missing instruments. As for the sweet flute, I think I must try it. "

Taking the sweet flute from the wooden box, Einar prepared his lips and began to play one of Erika's favorite songs, the hymn to joy.

Although it was a fairly simple song to play, he took his time enjoying the beautiful sound the flute produced.

Ulmer who was watching Einar play the flute he had built felt a sense of pride as the melody was heard very clearly.

Yet he knew that the true talent was that of Einar's fingers moving precisely, squeezing the holes in the flute at the right time.

After playing the song, Einar nodded and looked happily at the sweet flute "Ulmer this flute is working properly, you may just need to do some work on the flute holes.

Because they are a bit small, but I feel like everything else on the flute is perfect, that's why I'd like you to speak to Seren so she can help you get a few assistants.

So you can start creating some sweet flutes, as I wish the children could start to become familiar with the music. "

Ulmer closed the wooden box and clenched his fist. "Count on it, Herald Einar, I'll take care of getting the sweet flutes ready as quickly as possible."

After saying those words, Ulmer started running towards his workshop, while Einar headed towards the children.

"Very good children, today I will teach you how to identify a musical note."

Taking one of the children's sand boards, Einar began to draw five lines on which he placed seven dots that had one leg up.

The first point started well below the first line, the second-placed it below the first line, the third-placed it in the middle of the first line.

This continued until he reached the third line where he placed the seventh point, all the points were arranged in the form of stairs.

"Children, I will show you how a tablature works and what are the musical notes that make it up."

All the children approached the sandboard and looked at the lines and the points that had an upward line.

"The horizontal lines are the tablature, which is the place where the musical notes are written, while the points are musical notes.

The first point is called Do, the second in the middle of the first line is Re ... "

Einar explained the seven musical points and when he was done, he used the sweet flute to play the seven musical notes while the children repeated.

"Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si"

This curious training made the little children entertained because as an exercise they had to repeat the seven musical notes.

Laura, who was a little curious, approached Einar and pointed to the tablature "Papa Einar, why did you draw five lines and only use three."

Einar, who was helping little Daven, tousled Laura's hair with affection "That's because each group of notes is on a scale, so after we finish the seven notes they will be repeated but in a more deep way."

Using a deep voice Einar repeated, "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si"

Laura closed her eyes and thought for a moment "That means that if the notes are on scales higher they are deep, but what if they are lower."

Einar prepared his throat and using a high-pitched voice he repeated, "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si"

Laura opened her eyes in surprise "That is surprising, Papa Einar."

Einar just laughed "It's just the beginning. In the future, you will be able to create your own melodies, which you can write in tablature.

So anyone can read them and play their melody at any time, as they were always repeated the limit will always depend on you. "

When he finished talking with Laura, Einar realized that he had to say some important words to the other children, since if he did not do so, it could be harmful to them in the future.

With the help of Aila and Kassia, she gathered the little ones in the center of the playground

"Children, before we continue with the music classes I want you to know that some of you will not find it difficult to learn or create melodies because you may have talent.

While others find it very difficult or even impossible.

This is because each of us is unique, so never compare yourself to any of your peers or feel less.

You may be good at some and bad at other things, but remember that any talent can be overcome with hard work.

So if they fail, they just need to get up and continue, if they are afraid that things will not turn out well, do them even with fear.

Because when you achieve your goals, you can enjoy the satisfaction of being able to say that you achieved it despite adversity. "
