The Sage of Einar

In the outer courtyard of the great hall, Einar was with his children as he taught them to ride a little pony.

For Einar, it was a surprise to see a group of small horses as they lowered the horses from the ships.

When Darían was asked about those horses, he replied that the daughter of a nobleman had brought them from the Frank empire, but that when she grew up she no longer loved them because they were small.

This was a pleasant surprise for Einar, as with the little ponies he could teach his children how to ride a horse.

Although he was not an expert on his father's farm, he learned about numerous animals, but especially horses, because his father was a fan of them.

When he was a child, he had a horse that he called Blanco. It was a white-haired horse with a good character. Being able to travel the farm on horseback was a good luxury.

Perhaps the only bad thing was the hip pain that could leave after spending a lot of time riding a horse.

Because ponies were very good horses, Einar ordered the construction of a stable in the lower part of the imperial palace.

This so that they could always be on hand to take care of them, although he had no hay, in April when the thaw began and the beginning of spring.

It would start with the sowing of hay to be able to feed the large number of animals that are arriving on the island.

Well, the grass might not be enough for them. He knew it would be complicated, but not impossible, because the island was big enough to support hundreds of thousands of animals and even millions of people.

"Dad, this horse is very beautiful, but why is it so small that the horses weren't bigger, or is it a baby horse?"

Einar smiled at the question of the little Norma so he stroked her hair "It is because it is a kind of small horse, just as there are small people there are also tall people.

The animals are similar to us. This little pony is an adult and is the most famous of all the ponies that arrived.

So it will be the pony with which I will teach them to ride a horse, which is not something complicated, but it is very time-consuming.

For this, I had a small saddle made so that you can learn to ride these majestic animals.

Remember that any animal deserves respect, so you should never ride a horse if you are not in a position to do so because it puts your life at risk.

Like the animal, I hope you can remember that, but who wants to try it first? "

Laura raised her hand so Daven and Norma looked at their sister with smiles because they wanted to see how she could ride the pony.

Einar smiled and carried his daughter in his hands before putting her on the pony. The first thing to put in place to be able to ride a pony is the protections.

For this, Einar took a small metal helmet which he placed on Laura's head, then placed elbow pads on her hands and knee pads on her feet.

After that, he put ski goggles and leather gloves on his daughter and gave the helmet a few blows.

"I know it can be a lot of protection to ride a little pony, but always remember that life is valuable.

We must always take care of it as best we can, for this we have to be careful in our actions.

In this case, we are using protective equipment to train because that way we will not endanger our integrity. "

Laura smiled and raised her hands. "Dad, I am a good girl so I will always follow the rules, but what do I have to do now."

Einar smiled and pointed to the stirrups of the saddle "First the feet have to be inside the stirrups, with this our feet will have a support at all times.

We will also avoid hurting the horse as our feet will be in one place, not to mention that they also function to guide the horse's movement. "

Einar then pointed to the pony's reins. "Now you have to hold the pony's reins to be able to guide him at all times.

There are many kinds of movements that you have to learn during your training, but I am sure you will achieve it.

Just hold the reins for the moment while I lead the pony into a trot. "

Laura nodded and held the reins of the pony. At that moment Einar, with other tents, began to pull the little pony, who began to walk.

For Laura, it was something fantastic because she could feel a completely new sensation; it was a sensation of adrenaline that she liked.

"Dad, can we go faster?"

Einar smiled and looked at his daughter fondly. "At the moment, I can only jog so that the little pony can advance at my speed, but in the future, you will be able to go full speed with your little pony.

Just enjoy this feeling for the moment. "

Einar then began to trot, so the pony accelerated his pace. This made Laura start to laugh at the joy she was feeling.

When Einar finished walking around with the pony, he returned with his other children, and it was at that moment that he noticed Norma's condition.

She was dry-lipped and looked confused. Einar took a deep breath to reassure himself and maintain control, as he did not want to alarm his other children.

"Children, your sister is having a high blood sugar attack. I will take her to the clinic so she can recover.

You stay in this place and wait for your mothers, Daven takes care of Laura so that she does not ride the pony because it is dangerous for her to do so.

This is because she has no experience and even if it is a small horse, it is dangerous. Laura obeys your brother or there will be no sweets. "

Laura nodded and looked at her sister Norma with concern as Einar held her. "Dad, will my sister be okay?"

Einar nodded and kissed Norma on the forehead who was clinging to Einar like a little koala. "She will be fine, don't worry.

I'm sure he will enjoy his turn to play with the little pony. "

Einar then started walking towards the clinic. When he arrived the first thing he did was put his daughter on a bed so that she could feel a little better.

Later, he took a jar that had fenugreek flour, a Mediterranean seed that Bryce had. Among his things, it was a seed that had been shown to work for noblemen with diabetes.

Einar then ordered a whole greenhouse to be planted with the fenugreek plant so he could treat his daughter's sugar attacks.

Fortunately, Bryce had so many seeds that they could be sown while the rest Einar ground them so that he could give his daughter enough flour to treat her condition.

When little Norma tasted fenugreek flour, she only made a face of disgust so Einar stroked her head. "Don't worry daughter, I know flour tastes bitter but you have to be strong like your father.

It is a medicine that I am sure you will like because it will alleviate your feeling of illness that you feel right now or do you like to feel how you are feeling now? "

Norma denied and gladly ate the sour flour. After this, Einar gave her daughter a glass of water so that she could rinse her mouth. When she drank the water, Einar caressed her forehead.

"Since I will be with you during this time, what do you think if I tell you a story about a girl who wanted to live a quiet life but bad people always attacked her?

I think the story was called Marie ..."

Einar was simply stunned for a moment and scratched his head because he did not know where he had heard a story like that. He could not even remember something like that, so he just turned his head and looked fondly at his daughter.

"Let's forget what I said, and I'd better tell you the story of a woman who loved her husband, but when she went to battle she found out that he had died ..."

Einar continued to tell him the legend of the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, the two volcanoes of the Mexican capital, which had a beautiful love story.

When Einar finished telling her story, little Norma was much better although she was sleeping so Einar decided to take care of her, it was at that moment that the door opened and Kassia entered carrying little Erik.

Who looked at everything with curiosity through his eyes. Einar smiled when he saw his son and caressed his red hair that he had. "You are a beautiful baby. I am sure that in the future you will take care of your brothers and sisters.

You have to be a good boy because you are part of a big family. "

Erik just started laughing and played with his father's hand, Kassia, when she saw that she laughed and looked at Norma with concern. "Will her attacks be very frequent?"

Einar just sighed and looked fondly at his daughter in bed "They shouldn't be but without a way to get insulin, it is impossible for me to have her disease under control, the problem is that I only know that we can get insulin from cows, pigs and of yeast.

But I do not know what kinds of things we have to do to maintain them because it is not something simple to achieve, I will have to get more patients with diabetes and start tests but the biggest question I ask myself is where is the pancreas in those animals.

We have so much to investigate, but at least we know the result, but not the path to take. "
