Chapter 224 - A Surprising Fossil

    Kassia and Helmi looked curiously at the dinosaur fossil that Einar''s ves had found.


    "What kind of dinosaur is this Einar?"


    Helmi asked as she stroked the fossil''s elongated skull with her hand.


    Einar crouched down and began to exin how little he remembered about the pterodactyl.


    "It should be a flying dinosaur which was a carnivore, although I don''t remember many things about it.


    But I can say that it was an oviparous so that its reproduction was through eggs. Because of the size of its body, I can say that it was an adult specimen.


    I can infer that it was a pterodactyl due to the size, although it appears to be veryrge measuring about one and a half meters in size.


    What was the average size of these dinosaurs, there is also the elongated shape of the skull and this strange fin in the middle of the skull.


    Of course I can be wrong because I am not perfect, although I think we were lucky to find a fossil in such good condition considering that this pterodactyl died millions of years ago. "


    Kassia, who was also quite focused on the bones, caressed her stomach as she felt a small kick to her belly.


    "It seems our son or daughter really liked your exnation, but now that I think about it how the extinction of the dinosaurs affected our evolution."


    Einar stood up and gently stroked Kassia''s stomach as he felt his baby move "With the extinction of the dinosaurs presumably after a meteorite fell.


    The nts died, so the herbivores ended up dying and without herbivorous dinosaurs the carnivores did not have enough food.


    It is at that time that mammals who were nothing more than small animals were able to get out of their burrows and because of this they evolved into a different species of animals.


    Among them was the primate from whom we descended. It was a long process that took a long time but in the end we ended up dominating the food chain.


    Of course, nothing is set in stone and it may be that our origin is of another type, but discovering that will depend on our descendants and the future citizens of our nation.


    I can only give some background and some context but I am not a walking library. "


    When he finished saying those words, he bent down and gave Kassia a kiss on the stomach before starting to walk towards where his father and Seren were.


    "What do you think of these bones,father, they are part of the history of the ind, their age should be a few million years."


    Sven just opened his hands showing his joy "It''s the first time I''ve seen something like that. Even with your grandfather I could never see something like that, maybe the closest I got to seeing one of those fossils.


    It was in a city near a river that the local count had in his tower the head of a gigantic animal that seemed to be an elephant.


    Although it was not the same as in Migard, I could see some elephant skeletons. Some vendors even had elephants for sale.


    In that city of sin you could see anything for sale and if it was not in sight, it was enough to find the right person. "


    Einar stroked his mustache. "What you should have seen, father was a mammoth skull, a kind of elephant with hair that lived a few thousand years ago.


    But they ended up dying due to climate change and hunting by our species and other animals of the time.


    A real shame about those animals but in this environment only the survival of the fittest is possible. "


    Sven nodded, knowing full well that if you didn''t act as a predator, you were destined to be conquered or eaten.


    Seren, who had been listening to the entire talk. Put her hand on her chin and pointed to the bones of the fossil.


    "ording to what the ve you sent for us said, I am supposed to find a person who is able to join all the bones using gold thread.


    But how are we going to achieve something like that, it''s the first time I''ve heard someone propose something that I consider impossible? "


    Einarughed a bit and walked over to Helmi, as she always carried a journal in which she liked to write her thoughts.


    "Helmi, could you lend me some pages from your journal to draw what the hanging fossil should look like?"


    Helmi smiled at Einar, and from her bag she took out her journal. A small jar of ink, as well as an iron-tipped wooden quill.


    Einar carefully received his wife''s diary and opened it to thest page as he nned to make a sketch of the pterodactyl fossil hanging over the ceiling.


    Opening the ink jar, he wet the iron tip of the pen and began to draw a sketch, using some of his memories of visits to the Natural History Museum in London.


    <em>"You don''t think it''s beautiful what the dinosaur fossils look like, Max."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Asked Margaret, who was holding her husband''s hand.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Max just showed a warm smile while his hand caressed Margaret''s cheek "They are beautiful but you are more beautiful in my eyes."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Margaret justughed and pointed to the pterodactyl fossil that was hanging from the ceiling of the exhibition area.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>"To think that our chickense from those flying dinosaurs makes me wonder what life would be like if they had never be extinct."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Max just scratched his head. "I couldn''t tell you exactly what it would be like, but I can tell you that a symbiotic rtionship could have been created between humans and some dinosaurs.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>As humans were not the dominant species, they would most likely have created a series of myths around dinosaurs.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Some could even be considered gods, but at that moment it would be the end of the dinosaurs. "</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Margaret looked at Max curiously "Why do you say it that way."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Max just sighed and from his neck took out a crucifix that his mother had given him "Why do humans kill the gods, when we create divinity to a being we are charging our sorrows and achievements.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>But despite that, we always look to me for our misfortunes. What if the being we consider to be god is alive and lives among us? "</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Margaret swallowed hard, as she knew in that moment what people would do.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Seeing the awkward silence of his wife, Einar returned to keep the crucifix on his chest "It would be a real carnage between humans and dinosaurs, in an attempt to break with what is considered the divine mandate.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>In the end there could only be two options, dinosaurs are exterminated and assimted as animals for consumption or entertainment or humans are destroyed in their attempt to destroy their gods.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Also in our own time we have killed many gods to honor others, the temples of Rome were changed to churches and those that could not be changed were only destroyed.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Communism is a clear example of wanting to destroy God while in a capitalist world extreme unction has a price.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Sometimes I feel that it is better to keep the faith by ignoring the churches that are created around the figures of those we call saints or messiahs. "</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Margaret just shook her head and hugged Max''s arm as tightly as she could. "Sometimes I wonder how I ended up falling in love with you."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Max just shed his nose "I guess my incredible charisma and strength in bed had something to do with it ..."</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>Margaret interrupted Max by tapping him on the shoulder, which caused the two of them tough as they continued to admire the exhibits at the museum.</em>


    When Einar stopped remembering his old memories, he looked at the image he had drawn with a smile, as it was the fossil of the pterodactyl.


    But not only was the fossil there but also part of the exhibition of the natural history museum in London was drawn.


    Although what most caught their attention were two small figures who were hugging while viewing the exhibition.


    Kassia and Helmi said nothing, as they knew that the man was Einar and the woman was his wife, Margaret.


    For his part, Sven only scratched his beard as he was more interested in the building where the fossil was hanging.


    Seren, seeing the fossil hanging, knew that it would not be an impossible task, perhaps just a little demanding, but nothing she could not do, although she was also curious to know what kind of building that drawing was.


    <em>''It looks too big and imposing. I guess it must be somewhere in Valha. Hopefully Einar can draw more of the Valha.</em>


    <em> </em>


    <em>If we can only make a structure like that, everyone could see the glory of Valha in life. ''</em>


    <em> </em>


    "I think that with this drawing you should know how to join the bones of the fossil with the gold thread.


    Although to hang it from the ceiling we should use gold chains as the thread should not be strong enough to support the weight of the bones.


    Either way, I need some craftsmen to use little shovels and brushes to clean all the fossil from the ground that covers it.


    When they finish, I will use a notebook to draw the bones and in each one of them I will put some numbers to distinguish them. "


    After this, Einar took his two wives by the waist "Seren, I will entrust you everything. If you need something you can use the Gamma team, just call out their name and start giving them orders.


    Father, will you apany me, I n to prepare some food because I have to go back to supervise these boys. "


    Svenughed "Of course I will apany you, I would not lose the pleasure of enjoying your food for nothing in the world."
