The Sage of Einar

Chapter 160: The fury of a volcano



Chapter 160: The fury of a volcano

At night, when everyone was sleeping, a loud explosion could be heard throughout the tribe.

Einar who was sleeping suddenly woke up and instinctively the first thing he did was hug his two wives who were next to him.

“We are under attack, it looks like it is a high-impact bombing. It should be …”

Another great explosion was heard and Einar at that moment when he saw the faces of Helmi and Kassia realized that he was still in Iceland for what could not be bomb explosions.

So breathing began to think of all the options. At that moment Sven opens the door of the room covered in ash.

“Einar, the volcano near our village is erupting, although it is quite far away you should come to see the explosions …”

Sven was interrupted when he entered loud noise can be heard, Einar realizing that it was a volcanic explosion recalled the DN3 plans of the Mexican army.

“Father that no one is going to go to the hot springs at this time also tell everyone to cover their face with a cloth, the ash can cause problems.

It is also possible that at this time our crops may die so the best we can do is cover them with animal skins and wait for it to stop falling … “

Another explosion was heard, and the noise of something falling from the sky caused a small rumble and the outskirts of the Great Hall.

“Father! We must withdraw the women and children to the coast, at this moment it is dangerous to leave them in this place because we do not know if the stones that the volcano is throwing are large or there are more.

By the way, how far is that volcano from us? “

Sven who was cleaning the ashes from his face looked at his son seriously “Approximately 30 kilometers away, although for our luck to get to the volcano we need to go through some hills and mountains.”

Einar, who had gotten out of bed between calm and worried, put on a pair of pants and took a linen cloth on his way to the table, and formed a small mask to avoid suffocating with the ashes.

Also from a drawer, he took out three pairs of ski goggles, of which he handed 2 to Kassia, who was already awake. “You two take a pair of goggles and the other pair give it to Laura and Daven.

As for the kids to hand over their ski goggles and have Aila and the monks take them to the warehouse on the shore, it should be the safest place right now.

While I and my Father will begin to organize the men and slaves to avoid that, the houses are set on fire by some volcanic stone that flies nearby and to cover the cultivated fields that are already planted. “

After saying those words Einar approached his two wives and hugged them “Stay safe and cover your faces very carefully as volcanic ash can create a real problem in the lungs.”

When Einar finished speaking, he got up and heard another explosion, so he frowned and handed his father some glasses.

“Wear them and cover your face with a cool cloth. Ash is not a laughing matter or something to be taken lightly.

Fortunately, I think there are enough glasses to take care of everyone’s eyes. “

After this Einar left his room and began to walk through the corridors towards the door that led to the entrance of the great hall.

When he got to the great hall, he could see the children hugging each other, so Einar moved his face and approached them.

“Children are about to witness an event of nature, do not be afraid Aila, your mothers and the monks will take you to the warehouse on the dock.

That place is perhaps one of the safest areas you will find in the tribe, so please stay calm and obey what they tell you … “

Another explosion was heard, but Einar stood upright and looked seriously at the children because he did not want them to see him with fear because that would only bring them panic.

All the children who were somewhat worried held each other, and even though they were afraid when they were seeing Papa Einar’s face, they were brave.

When the sound of the explosion passed, a smile formed on the children’s faces as they thought it would be the last, but unfortunately, everything began to shake.

Einar, feeling the tremor, gulped and looking at the great hall did his best to find a safe place, so after a few seconds.

He found a corner that met the requirement to be a triangle of life if the great hall was destroyed.

“Kids!

Quickly go to that corner and do not separate, take your hands, let no one stay behind, and do it calmly, do not run because you will get hurt. “

All the children, although they were afraid and tears were falling from their faces, followed Papa Einar’s orders and went to the corner.

At that moment one of the small children tripped and a wooden piece of furniture was about to fall on him, so Einar ran, and using his arms he stopped the fall of that piece of furniture.

Although Einar had not noticed it, the children could see that Papa Einar had blood on his head because the furniture had hurt him.

Seeing the child about to cry and resisting the weight of that piece of furniture as best he could, Einar just smiled at the little boy showing calm

“Little Clemens, you have to go with your companions, Papa Einar …

It’s trying the best he can to get you out. “

Clemens at that moment reacted and got up to run towards the rest of the children when the boy moved out of the danger zone.

Einar used all his strength and gave a little cry as he moved the piece of furniture enough that he could safely drop it.

After settling down, he simply dropped the wooden cabinet, and it made a small noise. But ignoring this, Einar looked at the children and started counting them.

“Children did one of you suffer an injury!”

The children shook their heads and at that moment the small tremor was no longer felt, so Einar wiped his eyes as he felt some sweat that was bothering him.

As he wiped his forehead, he looked at his hand, and then he could see the blood on his hand, but it mattered little to him as he was more concerned for the safety of the children.

“Very well stay in this place and do not move, as there are likely to be some aftershocks of the earthquake.

There should be nothing that could hurt you to hold each other for the moment and keep a smile.

My little Laura, do me the favor of humming the hymn to joy and you children repeat after Laura.

Remember that everything will be fine … “

Einar was interrupted as a great explosion could be heard. Unlike the others, this was a bigger one so seriously.

He quickly left the great hall and there he could see in the distance that there was a large mushroom-shaped cloud coming out of the volcano in the distance.

‘And I saw a new heaven and a new earth because the first heaven and the first earth were destroyed …’

Einar at that moment took a few steps back as he felt part of the shock wave caused by the volcano. When he recovered, he looked at some red-hot stones that began to fall in different parts of the tribe.

One of them fell in front of Einar, although it was not a very big one, he knew that if he had hit it, it would be certain death.

So without wasting time he entered the great room where he walked to a small medicine cabinet that was on the wall and that luckily had not been moved by the earthquake.

From the medicine cabinet, he took from a jug of alcohol and emptied it over his head while feeling a great sensation of pain, so he gritted his teeth.

When he felt that he had already disinfected the wound, he took a linen bandage and began to use it to cover his head. While he did so, he heard how some people entered the corridor.

When he raised her face, he looked at his father, who was carrying his mother by her shoulders while Kassia held her by the feet.

Feeling some concern and sadness, he just bandaged his head and ran to help his father. When he arrived, he saw that his mother had a head wound.

So she helped Kassia to hold her by her feet to carry her to the table in the great room. When they placed her on it, he looked at Kassia.

“What has happened to him, do you know or can you intuit something?”

As he asked that, he put one of his fingers on his mother’s nose and when he felt that she was breathing he relaxed a little so he proceeded to take her pulse.

Kassia for her part took another jug ​​of alcohol from the medicine cabinet and carried it to where her mother-in-law was lying.

“I think one of your father’s shields fell on his head, Juni is also injured in the shoulder.”

Einar using alcohol and a linen cloth wiped the blood from his mother’s head and using his fingers began to feel her head.

‘Don’t have a fracture …’

After reviewing, he sighed in relief to see that she only had a wound on her scalp, so he cleaned it as best he could, and using a needle and thread he began to sew the wound.

“Father, mother will be fine, you should ask Juni to come as I think her shoulder saved Elin’s life.”

Sven upon hearing his son’s words began to run for Juni to receive emergency medical treatment.
