The Sage of Einar

In a completely white place where there was nothing, Laura began to walk quite curiously because she did not know where she was.

She was not afraid, because somehow she felt that it was a place where no one would hurt her.

As she walked, she could feel someone looking at her from behind, so she turned around and looked at a girl who seemed to be her own age.

The girl had black hair and green eyes. She also had very strange clothes that were quite peculiar, turning her head to the side and with her finger in her mouth.

Laura smiled "You are my sister Erika, right?"

Erika, who didn't seem to be able to say anything, just nodded. It was then that Laura raised her hands with joy.

"Dad showed me a drawing where you look exactly how you are dressed, but he also told me that you were the one in charge of carrying the souls.

A true Valkyrie !. "

With a smile Laura approached Erika and took her by the shoulders "Sister, tell me what Valhalla is like, my parents see me with pride ...

Not a better request, you can tell my parents that I love them even though I now have two moms, a dad, a brother, and a Valkyrie sister. I'm sure they don't bother with my words. "

Erika, who had no expression at all, just looked at her sister and, doing her best, gave her a subtle smile.

At that moment Laura felt a light shining and then she opened her eyes to realize that the light was coming from the sun, coming through the wooden window that Einar had opened.

"Laura, it's time to wake up your brother is waiting for you in the kitchen to eat. Remember to brush your teeth and don't forget to wash your hands with soap.

But first of all. "

Einar walked over to Laura and gave her a kiss on her forehead "Good morning, daughter."

Laura hugged Einar's neck and stayed for a while, enjoying the sensation of hugging Papa Einar. After a few seconds of hugging him, she got out of bed and put on her sandals before going to the bathroom.

Einar, who saw her, only sighed with joy "It is a small beacon of happiness. I have to work to take care of her smile and the whole family."

When Laura got to the bathroom, the first thing she did was look at her reflection in the beautiful glass mirror that Papa Einar had made.

With a smile, she looked at how some teeth were missing, so she laughed when she saw his reflection. Later she took his toothbrush, which was made of wood and had pig hair.

When she got her toothbrush, she put some charcoal paste with mint and began to brush her teeth, following the pattern that she had learned two days ago with Mom Kassia.

While brushing her teeth she began to sing a song that she had learned yesterday from Mom Helmi and although she did not understand the language or what the tone of the song said, she liked it a lot.

"La cucaracha, la cucaracha ya no puede caminar por qué…"

Scratching her head, she tried to remember the rest of the song, so she closed her eyes "La cucaracha, la cucaracha ya no puede caminar por qué no tiene, por qué le falta…

I no longer remember the lyrics of the song so

La cucaracha, ya no puede caminar, na, na nana.."

After cleaning her teeth as best she could, she looked at her smile. That was somewhat black due to the charcoal of the paste. So, using a little water, she rinsed her mouth.

After that, she smiled and looked at her cleaner teeth in the mirror, so she cleaned her toothbrush and washed her hands using soap.

When she finished, she left his brush in its designated place and went to the kitchen. On the way, she met Juni, who was taking some blankets to wash.

"Good morning Juni"

Juni, who heard Laura's sweet voice, turned her head and looked at her walking by her side "Good morning Laura, I hope you have a good morning."

Laura nodded "I slept very well, it's just that I dreamed of my sister Erika so I don't know how I can tell Papa Einar that I could see her."

Juni frowned for a moment before remembering how Einar had taught them to tell the Valkyrie, so she smiled at Laura.

"For a moment I didn't understand what you told me, but you are referring to the Valkyrie Erika, right?"

Laura spread her hands with joy "Yes Juni, I could see her in my dreams. She is a girl my age with beautiful black hair."

Playing with her hair Laura sighed "I wish I would grow black hair too, I would like more than my golden hair."

Juni laughed when she saw Laura's features "You shouldn't worry about that Laura, hair color is just that color also if I can remember well Einar mentioned that there is a way to paint hair.

As for the matter of the Valkyrie Erika, just approach Einar and tell him everything you dreamed of, he is not going to scold you or say something that makes you feel bad.

The Valkyrie is the protector of the tribe, so dreaming of her is a sign that you are being watched by her. So feel happy because many would like to see the Valkyrie Erika. "

Laura put her hand on her chin for a moment before making a doubtful face "Thanks for the information Grandma Juni, I'll take care of telling everything to Papa Einar."

After this Laura began to run towards the kitchen because she had to be late because she knew that Daven would scold her because she was waiting for her.

Seeing Laura running, she just shook her head 'I'm too young to be called grandmother, but it doesn't bother me.

I guess I'll have to get used to it because I'm sure Einar's next children will also call me a grandmother.

I ask me if I will be able to see Kassia because this month I did not have my period... '

When Laura got to the dining room, she could see Daven playing with a wooden cube, which appeared to be made of smaller cubes painted in different colors.

With enough curiosity, Laura approached Daven and as she got closer, she noticed that the colors of the cube were green, yellow, black, and blue.

"Good morning Daven, what are you playing with, I feel like it's quite funny but something tells me that it will be a complicated game like chess."

Daven turned her little head and looked at Laura "Good morning Laura, you are quite late but I will forgive you because Papa Einar gave me this wooden cube.

According to him, it is an intelligence toy called a Rubik's cube, although he just gave it to me in the morning I don't know how it should be used correctly.

Although Papa Einar explained to me how it worked, I will need a little time to solve it. Basically, I have to turn the cube until each face has the same color. "

Laura looked curiously at the Rubik's cube and at how Daven used it, trying to solve it.

"It looks pretty funny Daven, lend it to me so I can try, I promise I won't break it and treat it kindly."

Daven sighed and looked into Laura's hopeful eyes, so he decided to lend her the Rubik's cube.

"I'll lend it to you, but first let me show you how it should be used."

When he finished saying those words, Daven showed Laura how to turn the Rubik's cube, after which Laura took the Rubik's cube and began to play trying to solve the puzzle of the toy.

Daven, who was looking at her, was a bit surprised as Laura seemed to understand how to use the Rubik's cube.

For her part, Laura, who was completely concentrated, did not notice the strange look that Daven was giving her.

'If I move the Rubik's cube this way, then I should be able to fix the blue face, but I ask myself why I feel it's pretty straightforward.'

It was then that Laura, after playing with the Rubik's cube for a while, managed to solve the blue face, after which she continued turning in different positions and ended up solving the black face.

Biting her lip from the fun she was feeling and the pleasure of solving the challenge in front of her, Laura decided to fix the yellow and green face that was missing.

When Einar walked into the kitchen so he could have breakfast with his children, he was surprised to see how Laura was playing with the Rubik's cube, solving it like it wasn't a challenge.

This brought a smile to Einar's face. 'To think that Laura would have a talent for solving the Rubik's cube.

I guess she should do more puzzles and challenge games to develop her cognitive abilities; I am almost certain that she will be a true leader when she grows up.

I just have to be in charge of creating the foundations of a disciplined army that is not afraid of the leadership of a woman, although Laura could also be anything when she grows up.

In that case, as a parent, I have the obligation to help you in whatever way you want to be ... '

With the noise of a laugh, Einar woke up from his thought and watched as Laura held the Rubik's cube in her hand with great pride.

"I did it. I solved the Rubik's cube that dad made. It wasn't very complicated to solve, but I really enjoyed playing with it.

Thanks for lending me your toy, Daven. "

Daven looked at Laura with affection and carefully took the Rubik's cube from Laura's hands "You did very well Laura, I promise you that I will solve it too, but now you have to eat why Papa Einar is looking at us."

Laura turned her head and looked at Einar standing in front of them.. So she laughed nervously and sat in his place so she could start eating breakfast.
