The Sage of Einar

Einar wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Peder in front of him with a smile.

"You've improved a lot, Peder, but you still have a long way to go to be a true mixed martial arts fighter.

Let me show you how it's done. "

After saying those words, Einar ran to where Peder was to be able to hit him in the stomach, which caused him to crouch because he was short of breath.

Taking advantage of this situation, Einar took Peder's arm and made him a lock by placing his arm behind his head, due to the judo lock that Einar made, Peder performed on the ground where he only touched the grass three times to indicate that he surrendered.

Einar then released him and took a deep breath as he patted Peder on the shoulder "That's the importance of hitting the stomach.

You lack a lot of experience but don't worry, I will be in charge of teaching you very well so that you can be a teacher on your own.

Although I am not an expert, I occupy several in my knowledge many times ... "

Peder scratched his head and turned to see Einar "In Valhalla?"

Einar, realizing his mistake, just laughed and nodded "Let's say it was, although I really want to say more I feel that it is not the right time and I do not think it is the right place.

But you should know that I practice many times those movements with which I incapacitate you, although that does not matter at this time since we will have a lot of time to practice.

You have to learn self-defense Peder since you will be Felipa's husband so you will be part of my family and it may seem that our island is quiet.

But you, like all of us, know that is a vile lie because we are always going to have Viking attacks in the best of times.

At worst, we could be facing new tribes that settle on our island, which would be extremely dangerous because our resources would be divided in half with whoever comes to the island.

What is scarier is that we simply would not realize it when they establish because we do not have complete control of our island, which would take away our main advantage to be able to face them.

In the best of cases, the people who arrive or the tribes will be small. But what happens if an extremely large tribe like ours arrives, although we could win against it at what cost.

That is why we must always be prepared for the worst, that includes the training that I am giving you.

Now get up we have to continue with our training one more hour, before having our breakfast.

Just so you know and train with more energy, for breakfast there will be a new condiment that I create using olive oil and egg. "

Einar opened his hands and looked up at the sky with happiness "I call it mayonnaise, although I have to admit that if we had lemons, it could be an even more delicious mayonnaise, the traditional taste is not bad.

In any case, the mayonnaise will only be the beginning of the creation of dressings that I will make. When Natukt returns with the seeds we will sow tomato I will make ketchup.

We will only need mustard seeds so that you can create the holy trinity of dressings ...

But I think I'll get a little carried away. Breakfast will be a white bread sandwich with mayonnaise and seal meat accompanied with salicornias, a simple but delicious breakfast. "

Einar wiped away what little drool he had in his mouth and looked seriously at Peder. "The break is over, it's time to continue."

Kassia and Felipa, who were sitting on a deck chair taking a little sun, watched Peder and Einar training.

"Mother, don't you think Einar is getting a bit aggressive with Peder, or is it just very serious training."

Kassia who was relaxing yawned and stretched her hands "You shouldn't worry Felipa, Einar is just teaching Peder how to defend himself. You must remember that I don't know we will always be with you.

So the danger is always going to be anywhere, it is better that your future husband knows how to defend himself and you, in the event of any emergency that may arise.

In addition, you should not stress because the training, although it seems that it is painful, is not dangerous at all, because Einar is using bandages on his hands and leather protections filled with fabric.

The worst that can happen is that Peder faints or bleeds a bit, but if you watch them carefully, you will realize that Einar is not fighting in the traditional way.

Rather, he's teaching Peder martial art, which is a series of fighting moves as I understood from Einar, but I didn't really pay much attention.

Since the pregnancy symptoms are getting a bit stronger than they should be, I guess they have to do with I'm already 5 months pregnant.

It may be longer or shorter, but by my count, I should be 5 months pregnant just like Helmi.

In just four months your future brother or sister will be born, although I do not know if it will be the last child I have, I can tell you that I will take care of him with all my love so that he grows big and strong. "

Felipa watched her mother caress her stomach with great affection, so she decided to put her hand on her mother's stomach as well.

"Mother, will I be the same as you when I am pregnant or will I suffer just like Helmi did?"

Kassia stroked her daughter's hair and smiled at her "You most likely suffer from the same problems Helmi suffered during her pregnancy.

This is because it would be your first pregnancy like Helmi, although it could be completely different in your case.

Each woman is completely different from one another, so it is very possible that the symptoms and sensations during pregnancy are different.

Anyway, you can be sure that I will take care of you so that you do not suffer during the whole process, you will also have the help of Einar so I can assure you that my grandson will be born without problems ... "

Kassia stopped for a moment as she heard some footsteps coming towards them. When she turned her head, she could see Helmi who greeted her.

She was holding in her hand a ceramic plate that had some sandwiches on it. This made Kassia's stomach make a hungry noise.

Helmi hearing the noise of Kassia's stomach just laughed and walked over to where she was to deliver her a sandwich.

"You should not contain your hunger Kassia, better have a sandwich and try the mayonnaise with the meat.

To think that just whipping oil with egg would make such a delicious condiment makes me want to wish Natukt would come to the tribe sooner so that he could plant the tomato and taste the ketchup. "

Kassia, who didn't understand why Helmi was so happy, took a sandwich from the plate and took a bite.

At that moment Kassia's taste buds became overloaded with the creamy, smooth taste of mayonnaise, which completely changed the taste of that sandwich.

Without realizing it, he began to bite the sandwich without stopping, Felipa who was next to him also took a sandwich and tasted it.

Like her mother, she said nothing and continued eating her sandwich, while enjoying the delicious taste of mayonnaise.

When the two of them finished they saw two more sandwiches on the plate so they turned their heads to see Helmi, who smiled at them and nodded.

"I brought them two sandwiches each because I assumed that he, like me, with one would not be enough to fill them up.

They are very rich, right? "

Kassia devoured her sandwich in a few bites before sighing and looking at Helmi with some impatience.

"It's completely delicious, but I think I'm still a little hungry. Do you think I could accompany you to the kitchen for getting more sandwiches?"

Helmi gave her hand so that she could get up from the deck chair where she was sunbathing, "Don't you want to come with us, Felipa?"

Felipa, who had a bite of the sandwich in her mouth, nodded and accompanied them because she also needed to eat another sandwich because she loved the taste of mayonnaise.

After training for another hour, Einar stretched out his hands and subsequently put his hand on Peder's neck.

"Very well done Peder, we have earned breakfast, come with me to show you how delicious mayonnaise is."

After saying those words, the two men began to walk to the kitchen with the intention of having breakfast and trying the mayonnaise.

Unfortunately for them when they got to the kitchen they could see that the mayonnaise jar Einar had made had simply run out and that Kassia, Helmi, Felipa, Elin, and Sven were in the place.

Einar just laughed at the curious image of his family and decided to make some more mayonnaise because it was a condiment that could be addictive.

'Wait for me to get lemons, corn, chili, and cheese, I will take care of showing you a new way of eating corn that I am sure you will not forget.

A pity that we will have to wait a long time until we can get all the ingredients in our hands, but step by step we will reach the goal.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wonder what Flavio would have done if… '

Einar at that moment held his forehead as he felt a slight pain 'Who is Flavio and why do I relate him to the Roman Empire, this is the second time I have heard him.

Perhaps the story is not the same as I remember or where that name comes from .... '
