The Sage of Einar

In the kitchen of the imperial palace, the whole family was gathered. All of them were curious about what Einar would talk with them.

But they were sure of one thing and it must have been something very important to be able to inform them to prepare.

After a few minutes of waiting in a somewhat awkward silence, the door to the room opened and Einar entered while looking at everyone with a smile.

"Sorry for the delay, but what I will talk about today is very important, because I have realized that we have two options to face this problem of the enemies that approach our sacred island.

But before that I think I should prepare because what I will say is not easy and it will have to be a decision made entirely as a family. "

Einar then walked over to a wooden cabinet, which he opened to take out a bottle of herbal liqueur and some glasses.

Without even asking, he began to serve and placed them in front of his father, mother, Felipa, and any member of the family who might drink.

After this, he took the bottle and took a long swallow before taking a seat and sitting down to look at them all.

"How do you know Kalevi has just arrived on the island but plans to inform his tribe that the crusaders are heading towards them.

That is because I am almost sure that it will be the first area that the bloody crusaders are going to attack, that is why after thinking about it for a long time I concluded that if we want to win this war without excessive bloodshed on our part .

We must send our fleet to help the war efforts of the tribe of the Faroe Islands. If we can arrive at the right time, we can directly face the crusaders while they are disembarking in the different Islands.

So we will have the surprise factor and we will do so much damage that I am sure we will annihilate the enemy fleet.

However, doing this will require that I go personally with the fleet to coordinate the movement and the soldiers.

That will mean that I will not be here for the birth of my children, so it will be completely up to Felipa and the helpers to make sure that Kassia and Helmi can have a successful delivery.

But I cannot make this decision alone. I will need you to decide if you want me to go and face the fleet in the Faroe Islands or stay to take care of Kassia and Helmi.

As my family, I think it is an important decision because I do not want to have to separate but I think it is necessary, because if we can end the war before it reaches our island.

Things would be much easier for us, but the last decision is with you. Whoever wants me to go fight has only to raise their hands. "

At that moment, to Einar's surprise, his entire family raised their hands, including their children.

Kassia then took the bottle of liquor from Einar's hand and caressed his face. "I understand that you worry about the two of us, but the danger that this invasion represents can endanger everyone.

I promised you that it would be fine, and I am sure that Helmi will be fine too. We will survive the birth, as we are warrior women and queens of this great nation.

You go calmly and bring victory to our people; we are all sure that you will be able to achieve victory.

As for taking care of the island, me and Sven will take care of everything, while Laisa and Eskol will take care of the military.

With the eye of Odin and the help of Evaristus, no one will be able to enter the imperial palace. That I can assure you completely because I would not put the lives of our children at risk, either.

But in this case, you have to go fight with them in the Faroe Islands as it is necessary. "

Einar took a deep breath and looked lovingly at Kassia before kissing her. "Kassia, promise me we'll see each other again."

Kassia put her hand next to her husband's "I promise I will be with you for as long as I live, which I am sure will be many years.

Well, I have to take care of our children that are being born. "

Einar, at that moment, approached his wife and kissed her. After that they had a rather relaxed dinner and the next day, Einar met Kalevi on the docks.

"Kalevi, my fleet will leave with you, but it will take at least a few days to get everything ready.

I hope you can send a Drakkar to inform them to prepare. In our case, when we have everything ready, we will leave from this place to reach the Faroe Islands.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to go with that Drakkar, because I need your guide to get to your island. I hope you know how to get there. "

Kalevi nodded. "You can be sure that I will take you safely, as it is important for me to be able to arrive with reinforcements.

That at least will make my father happy, who considers that I do not do anything well. It is painful because nothing I do he likes or feels proud of.

But I guess I can't complain when he has taken care of me in so many ways. "

Einar just laughed and patted Kalevi on the shoulder. "Parents sometimes behave that way because they feel like if they say something to you.

It could break the good progress that you are taking as a son. Just keep doing things right and don't trust anything that you could end up doing something stupid. "

"Haha, I guess you're right."

After this, all the soldiers prepared the 305 ships with supplies to be at sea for at least 6 months.

Einar knew there were too many supplies, but he was not willing to take more risks because that could mean that on the way back, things would get terrible.

In any case, all the boats had fishing nets and sun kitchens so they could prepare food in case it was necessary to keep the fleet at sea for a longer time.

After a few days and having everything ready, Einar looked at his family for the last time and at that moment, he thought he saw Erika still next to Kassia.

But it was only momentary because when he blinked, everything was completely normal, so he only assumed that it had been an optical illusion.
