Erik opened his eyes and to his surprise he was in fact an newborn baby. He couldn't help but feel joyful as he had just gotten to restart life in a completely different time period than what he was used to. What he saw around him were nothing but people and then he was in the air and all the people began shouting after hearing a man shout at the top of his lungs. He had understood every word the man said and realized that this man was his father.
{Hello Sir Welcome to The World of Kentron I am The Modern System but you know me as VICKI}
Erik was astonished they had programmed VICKI into his brain and she was actually talking without him starting the conversation.

Looking over his stats Erik couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer fact that as a newborn infant that he was basically like Hercules. What was this about his mother dying when he turned 5 that would mean that he would need to get to studying now and finding herbs to heal his mother by the age of 3. He was already being tortured by The Embodiment.
A full year passes and Erik is now 1 years old and he is trapped inside of the longhouse with nothin but the books in the library. While the adults are away he crawls out of his bed and over to the library and surprisingly enough he can read the language as well and he chooses a book called "Herbs & Potions.
Erik turns the pages and sees a type of bark called the White Willow Bark that contains similar properties to an aspirin and something called a DragonLeef Lily that closes up wounds and acts as a cure all drug. The DragonLeef is fairly common in the area he lives in but most Vikings choose not to read and avoid anything that looks dangerous.
The specific herb that is mentioned looks like a dragon made of leaves with its the rest of its body floating underwater. So in this era it was avoided by these people, Erik read the book but still checked with VICKI the actual properties of the plant and whether it would cure his mom.
He also did some more research and his mother wasn't actually dying from giving birth to him but she was dying from a common cold like sickness and the DragonLeef was the antibiotic that he was going to use to cure her cold. In this world the common cold rendered its victims unconscious while slowly destroying white blood cells.
==================================
--------------Phoenix Clan Throne Room--------------
A man sits on the throne thoroughly worried and concerned about something. Suddenly, a apothecary walks into the room.
"Greetings Erling The Great, Jarl of The Phoenix Clan" said the man.
"How are you Sigurd, have you figured out what is wrong with my wife." Erling said concerned.
"We have figured out that she has the incurable disease that puts one in a deep slumber for 5 years until they eventually die." Sigurd responded
Erling yelped and burst out into tears and despair. This was the only woman that he had ever loved and now he would lose the woman who fought by his side as his equal for years. Sigurd had never seen the greatest Viking of them all in a state of despair this bad.
Erling wiped his tears and got up and walked over to a room and slowly opened the door. In this room was his son who was sitting in front of a book of plants and couldn't help but cry even more. Erik saw this from the the corner or his peripheral vision and couldn't help but feel sad for this giant man.
Sigurd on the other hand vowed to help better his kings' mood and bid him a farewell. he then went out into the village and gathered a vast majority of people and started planning a feast for his king as a way to help him feel better and to get his mind off of his wife will be passing in the next four years.
Erik in the other room started to make plans to go out and collect this herb along with some honey. He would be able to mix it with the DragonLeef to make it go down without a problem once he fed it to his mother. He went over various mixtures and just like that 2 years had passed and now he was three years old and finally able to conversate with the other without a problem.
It was now time for his expedition to travel to Lake Bog and collect this herb. He and a few other kids from the village all told their parents they were going to play at the lake but in reality they were going to help Erik collect something from there. Ragnar was one of these children and at first he didn't like Erik and his way of thinking but the more they hung out and planned the more he understood Erik would be able to do anything he wanted.
The lake was their source of freshwater and it wasn't that far away so this journey wouldn't even take half a day make even less if they ran.
