### Torkis Jaionnis

#### Aansamardh

1. There lived two friends in Barduro,

Jaionnis and Nikolius,

They lived in an estate,

Near Slaada.

-The golden egg,

They all want to be praised,

Many claim it,

But few need it,

The golden egg!-

2. There lived two friends in Slaada,

Jaionnis and Nikolius,

They lived well there,

For such a long time.

3. "Listen, Nikolius, my friend,

Listen to what I will ask you,

For Michael to come to House,

How long would you wait?"

4. "Listen, Nikolius, my friend,

Listen to what I will ask you,

For Tony to come to Barduro,

How long would you wait?"

5. Nikolius of Slaada replied:

"For Michael to come to House,

And for Tony to come to Barduro,

I would wait 7 years!"

6. Jaionnis Na-Toidh replied:

"While you wait,

I will have to leave,

To find Tony!"

7. "While you wait,

I will have to leave,

To find the golden egg,

To find Michael!"

8. It was Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

He walked for days,

He walked for two,

To find Tony.

9. He saddled his white horse,

And rode to find Tony,

The hills stood so high,

In the valley.

10. Then he came to the forest,

Where Tony was,

He was sleeping,

On his throne.

11. "Listen, Tony, my lord,

I know how long you have been sleeping,

But what I will ask you,

Michael depends on it!"

12. "Listen Tony, lord of Barduro,

I know how long you have been sleeping,

But what I will ask you,

Is part of the fate if House!"

13. Tony woke up,

He had slept for years,

If a person had come all the way to him,

Then truly the reason would be important!

14. "The golden egg,

It cannot be found,

I will need your help,

In finding it!"

15. Tony of Barduro answered,

Standing in the forest:

"I will certainly help you,

To find the golden egg!"

16. "I will certainly help you,

To find the golden egg,

If it is lost,

Terrible things will happen!"

17. "I will certainly help you,

To find the golden egg,

The throne of Michael,

Could be destroyed!"

18. They saddled their horses,

Tony and Jaionnis,

They rode for days,

To find the golden egg.

19. A long time passed,

For many days, they rode by the cliffs,

Before they came to the plains,

By the lake.

20. In the plains by the lake,

There was the golden egg,

Jaionnis picked it up,

From the sand.

21. "Now we have the golden egg,

Now we must go to House,

Now we will give the egg to Michael,

We have no time to waste!"

22. They went to the harbour,

And started to sail,

They sailed for 2 days,

In the salty sea.

23. They went to the harbour,

And started to sail,

They sailed for 3 days,

Before they arrived in House.

24. They arrived in House,

After St Olafs day,

They met Michael,

And gave him the egg.

25. There lay the egg,

In House,

While everything went so well,

For Michael.

26. Early in the morning,

The egg shines in the sun,

While it lies,

By the throne of Michael.

27. Nobody is there,

By the throne of Michael,

Then there comes a young man,

Into the room.

28. There comes a young man,

Into the room,

Mattaskar is his name,

He steals the egg.

29. Mattaskar steals the golden egg,

He throws it into the sea,

"Now nobody will find,

The beautiful egg!"

#### Tvasamardh

30. Tony went back to Barduro,

He sailed for days,

Meanwhile Jaionnis,

He stayed in House.

31. Tony went back to Barduro,

He sailed for days,

Meanwhile Jaionnis stood,

By the throne of Michael.

32. Jaionnis sailed for days,

Over the salty sea,

It was his plan,

To go to the house of Michael.

33. Jaionnis went to the house of Michael,

He sailed for days,

Meanwhile Tony,

Was also sailing.

34. Jaionnis went to the house of Michael,

He sailed for days,

Meanwhile Tony,

Was going back.

35. He sailed for such a long time,

Over the salty sea,

Before he arrived at the house of Michael,

On the ninth day.

36. Jaionnis slept on the beach,

He was so exhausted,

He woke up in the day,

The sun was rising.

37. Early in the morning,

The sun shines over the sea,

Michael was standing there,

With Jeremy, Harry and John.

38. Michael was standing there,

With Jeremy, Harry and John:

"Greetings, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

Here in House!"

39. "Greetings, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

Here in House,

You are praised among Barduroese,

For your deeds!"

40. "I thank you so well,

For your deeds,

You, who retrieved the great egg,

From the wrong hands!"

41. "Listen, Jaionnis Na-Thoidh,

Jaionnis of Slaada,

You can ask me,

Any request!"

42. "Listen, Michael Barbara,

Michael my lord,

Michael of House,

The great Housian!"

43. "Listen, Michael Barbara,

What I will ask you,

I want a free holiday,

To Boatem!"

44. "Listen, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

I will happily give you,

A free holiday,

To Boatem!"

45. "Listen, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

I will certainly,

Give you a free holiday,

To Boatem!"

46. "I will give you,

A free holiday,

To go to Boatem,

Only with one condition."

47. Jaionnis Na-Toidh replied,

Standing there with the Michael-men:

"I will happily,

Get a free holiday."

48. "I will happily,

Get a free holiday,

To go to Boatem,

Michael, my lord."

49. "Any conditions,

I will accept,

If I can get a free holiday,

To go Boatem."

50. Jaionnis did not know,

What had happened to the egg,

That it had been stolen,

By the thief Mattaskar.

51. It was Michael Barbara,

Thinking to himself:

"He has my blessing,

The egg will be found."

53. "He has my blessing,

The egg will be found,

Truly by all means,

If he kills the evil Maagnys."

54. And so Michael answered,

They were now in the house:

"You must remove the cave,

From the cliff of Maagnys."

55. "Now I will give you,

The blessing of Michael,

Now you can go to Boatem,

Safely and cheaply."

56. So there went Jaionnis,

There to Boatem,

Michael sat in House,

With his Michael-men.

#### Trisamardh

57. Early in the morning,

The sun shines well over the sea,

Meanwhile Jaionnis sails,

To the Boatem.

58. It was Jaionnis,

Thinking to himself:

"I do not know,

Where to find the cliff of Maagnys."

59. "I do not know,

Where to find the cliff of Maagnys,

But with the blessing of Michael,

I will surely find it!"

60. Jaionnis sailed for days,

In the salty sea,

On the fifth day,

He saw the cliff.

61. Jaionnis sailed for days,

In the dark sea,

On the fifth day,

He saw Maagnys.

62. Jaionnis sailed to the cliffs,

He saw Maagnys,

Standing beside them,

He looked like a murderer!

63. There was a pier there,

Made of andesite,

Jaionnis sailed there,

By the beach.

64. Jaionnis sailed there,

He stood by the beach,

He walked up to Maagnys,

That evil man.

65. Maagnys was an evil thief,

He had stolen the great egg,

Even before that other thief,

Who was called Mattaskar.

66. It was Maagnys,

Standing by the cliff,

"Who are you,

You young Barduroese man?"

67. "Who are you,

You young Barduroese man,

You look like a murderer,

Who would be called Olaf!"

68. "My name is not Olaf,

But my name is Jaionnis,

And I do not look like a murderer,

But you do!"

69.  "My name is Jaionnis,

I was sent to you,

By Michael Barbara,

Who is better than you!"

70. It was Jeremy,

He came from the sky,

And he spoke to Jaionnis,

The words which I will tell.

71. These were the words,

Which Jeremy spoke to Jaionnis:

"It is the will of Michael,

For you to kill Maagnys!"

72. "It is the will of Michael,

For you to kill Maagnys,

He is an evil thief,

He has stolen my great egg in the past!"

73. "He has stolen,

My great egg in the past,

Kill him here,

And bury him in the cave!"

74. "When you have buried him,

Close the cave,

No person should,

Be allowed to go in there!"

75. Then Jaionnis answered,

To the words of Jeremy:

"Listen Jeremy,

I will follow the rules of Michael."

76. "Listen Jeremy,

I will follow the rules of Michael,

Even if I was killed,

By a violent charrot!"

77. "Listen Jeremy,

You man of Michael,

I will follow his rules,

Even if I died for them."

78. And then it was Jaionnis,

He took a sharp sword,

It could cut through charrot,

It could cut through cats.

79. That sword of Michael,

It was made of iron,

It could cut through charrot,

It could cut through cats.

80. It was Maagnys Faardival,

That evil thief,

He took out his weapon,

Such a sharp carrot.

81. They fought so well,

By the sandy beach,

Before Maagnys,

Tried to escape.

82. Maagnys made an attempt,

To escape,

And Jaionnis followed him,

To the cliffs.

83. They fought again,

There on the beach,

He almost killed Maagnys,

With his Michael-sword.

84. While Maagnys was dying,

He said his last wishes:

"You will bury me,

To the fields of Boatem!"

85. "You will bury me,

West to the fields of Boatem,

There I will rest,

Until Grian digs me up!"

86. Jaionnis answered,

Standing over Maagnys,

"Your last wishes,

Are against those of Michael!"

87. "Listen, Maagnys Faardival,

Those wishes are against those of Michaels,

If you choose again,

I will respect those!"

You will bury me,

To the fields east of Boatem!"

89. Maagnys Faardival knew,

That his wish,

Was against those of Michael,

The lord of House.

90. Then Jaionnis killed Maagnys,

That evil thief,

"I will still try to respect your wishes,

In some way."

91. So it was Jaionnis,

He buried Maagnys in the cave,

In the way that Jeremy had told him,

That Michael-man.

92. So it was Jaionnis,

He closed that cave,

In the way Jeremy had told him,

That servent of Michael.

93. Jaionnis had told the truth,

To Maagnys Faardival,

He would still respect his wishes,

In some way.

94. Jaionnis buried the carrot,

Maagnys's favourite carrot,

In the green fields,

East of Boatem.

#### Fuurasamardh

95. There is nothing more to sing,

About when Jaionnis was with Maagnys,

Now I will tell all of you a new part,

About after that time.

96. Early in the morning,

The sun shines on the cliffs,

While Jaionnis was sailing again,

To Boatem.

97. Jaionnis was sailing,

There to Boatem,

The sea was so calm,

Only disturbed by islands.

98. Jaionnis was sailing,

There to Scar the Hermit,

The sea was so calm,

Only disturbed by rocks.

99. There passed two days,

Over the salty sea,

And Jaionnis was sailing,

There to Boatem.

100. There passed so many days,

Over the salty sea,

And on the ninth,

He found sight of land.

101. He saw no harbours,

He saw saw no beaches,

The only thing he saw,

Were steep cliffs.

102. And so he sailed,

So widely around the sea so dark,

On the tenth day,

He saw Boatem itself.

103. And so he sailed,

So widely around the sea so salty,

On the tenth day,

He saw Boatem in Hermitcraft.

104. He had sailed for so long,

Over the salty sea,

Boatem in Hermitcraft,

Was so beautiful to see.

105. It was now the evening,

The sun sets in the dark sky,

And there is still enough light,

To walk to Boatem.

106. He got off his boat,

There in Boatem,

Before he went to the town,

To see Scar the Hermit.

107. In that night,

The moon was so bright,

While Jaionnis slept,

Under a big stone.

108. Early in the morning,

The sun rises behind the mountains,

Jaionnis walks, nervously,

There to Boatem.

109. Jaionnis stands there,

In the middle of the town,

He was waiting so patiently,

For Scar the Hermit himself.

110. Now it was well into the day,

Jaionnis walked to Scar's house,

He knocks on the door,

And it is opened.

111. It was Scar the Hermit,

Standing by the wide table,

"I do not know who you are,

You young Barduroese man!"

112. Jaionnis Na-Toidh answered,

Standing opposite Scar:

"I am called Jaionnis Na-Thoidh,

And I have come so far to find you!"

113. "I have come so far to find you,

Scar the great Hermit,

Listen to what I will ask you,

Michael of House depends on it."

114. "Michael depends on this,

Which I will now ask you:

Do you know where,

The golden egg is?"

115. "Why do you want to know,

Where the golden egg is,

Many do evil practises,

When they have found it."

116. "When I find the golden egg,

I swear by my iron charrot,

I will do no evil,

I will promise that."

117. "When I find the golden egg,

I swear by my iron sword,

I will do nothing against Michael,

I will promise that."

118. "When I find the golden egg,

I swear by my iron cross,

I will do nothing against any good person,

I will promise that."

119. It was Jaionnis,

He spoke to Scar,

About everything he had done,

Since he was in Barduro.

120. And then Scar replied,

Sitting by the table:

"I am telling the truth,

I do not know where the egg can be found."

121. "I do not know,

Where the golden egg can be found,

But I do know that,

You are in the protection of Michael."

122. "I do not know,

Where the egg can be found,

But sit down with me,

And drink here today!"

123. Jaionnis sat with scar,

By the wide table,

He drank with him there,

Fine charrot wine.

124. "Listen, Scar the Hermit,

Now I will have to leave,

Do you want to come with me,

While I will look for the golden egg?"

125. "Listen, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

I do not want to come with you,

But let the blessing of Michael,

Shine well over you.

126. So Jaionnis left,

And now Scar was alone,

In his dark room,

By the wide table.

127. Jaionnis stands in Boatem,

He says to the people:

"Who will come with me,

To find the golden egg?"

128. Several people agreed,

To come there with Jaionnis,

That day they went on their boat,

To start looking for the egg.

129. They gather in an army,

Jaionnis and his several people,

Meanwhile Scar is in his house,

Sitting by the table.

130. Scar is in his house,

Sitting by the table,

Then there came a light so bright,

He could not see for some time.

131. And out of that light,

There came Jeremy,

He spoke to Scar,

About the golden egg.

132. "Listen, Scar the Hermit,

Listen to me,

I will now tell you,

Where the golden egg is."

133. "The golden egg,

It is in the far north,

That place so remote,

Beyond the high cliffs."

134. And so it was Scar,

On that same day,

He ran down to the Harbour,

Where the men of Jaionnis were.

135. "Listen, men of Jaionnis,

I have been told,

That the golden egg,

Is now in the north."

#### Middasamardh

136. Early in the morning,

The sun shines so widely,

Jaionnis and his men,

Sail to the north.

137. They sail to the far north,

Away from Boatem,

For many days,

They sail in the sea.

138. In the blue sea,

They spend so many days,

And for so much time,

They sail peacefully and well.

139. In the dark sea,

They spend so many months,

And for so much time,

Everything goes so well.

140. In the salty sea,

They spend so many hours,

And for so much time,

Everything goes so good.

141. But when 2 months had passed,

There came a great storm,

It brung them down,

To the south-east.

142. Everyone made an attempt to row,

But nobody could,

While the storm pushed the boat,

So far down.

143. Nobody could row the boat,

Even with all their strength and power,

They prayed to all the saints,

To save them.

144. It seemed the strength did nothing,

It seemed the prayers did nothing,

While they were forced down,

Towards Denmark.

145. It seemed the power did nothing,

It seemed everything they tried did nothing,

As they were forced down,

Towards Sweden.

146. The storm was so violent,

The water came over the boat,

There were clouds so dark,

In the sky so dark.

147. The storm became calm,

As they approached Swedenlake,

But they did not know,

What would happen after.

148. The boat crashed,

On the white sand,

The men of Jaionnis,

Lay there, exhausted.

149. Their boat had been so fine,

The best made in Hermitcraft,

That they had crashed there,

On the white sand.

150. There came three people,

Towards the boat,

The kings of Denmark,

Norway and Sweden.

151. It was the king of Denmark,

Standing beside the boat:

"I will take this fine boat,

It seems to be Hermitian."

152. The king of Sweden replied,

"We must not take it now,

At this side,

There are many strong men."

153. "There are many strong men,

With swords and shields,

It would be a mistake,

To take it now."

154. It was the king of Norway,

Standing there by the boat,

Before he started to speak,

To the men of Jaionnis.

155. "Listen, you Hermitians,

To what I will ask us,

For how many iron charrots,

Would you give the boat?"

156. Maagnys Faraunha replied,

To the king of Norway:

"We would not give the boat,

No matter how many iron charrots."

157. The king of Sweden replied,

Standing on the side:

"You say you would not give the boat,

No matter how many iron charrots."

158. "You say you would not give the boat,

No matter how many iron charrots,

But would you give it,

For one hundred golden charrots?"

159. Now Jaionnis replied himself:

"That is of no use for us,

Because what we want made of gold,

Is not a charrot!"

160. The king of Norway shouted,

At the king of Sweden:

"I will give them,

One thousand golden charrots!"

161. "By no means will we,

Give you the boat,

We truly need it,

For ourselves."

162. There stood the kings,

Of Sweden, Denmark and Norway,

They went away,

Inside to their hall.

163. There stood the kings,

Of those countries,

They went back,

To their big hall.

164. The king of Sweden sits on the throne,

He thinks of something:

"We should attack the boat,

In the night!"

165. The day passed well for them,

Everything was so good,

Now the night came,

And their plans started.

166. It was late in the night,

The moon shone over the earth,

The kings went back down again,

To the white beach.

167. All the many men,

The army of Jaionnis,

Were sleeping there,

In the boat.

168. There came the men,

Of the king of Norway,

They came with sharp swords,

To attack the men of Jaionnis.

169. They fought there,

But nobody died,

With bows and arrows,

And swords and shields.

170. The men of Jaionnis realised,

They had choice,

Other than to swim away,

If they wanted to survive.

171. It was Sigju Olafsen,

Swimming with his remaining strength:

"We should not flee,

From the men of Norway!"

172. Jajkub Phaarlamaidh answered,

There in the dark night:

"It is right to flee,

In this situation!"

173. "In this situation,

Our lives,

Are being used well,

To save Michael!"

#### Säkysamardh

174. I have been told,

By the men of House,

About what happened,

Next to the men of Jaionnis.

175. They swam over the sea,

For two hours,

Many almost drowned,

From exhaustion.

176. They swam over the sea,

For three hours,

Many almost drowned,

But were saved by others.

177. It was in the salty sea,

There was nothing there,

But they still swam,

The men of Jaionnis.

178. It was in the blue sea,

There was nothing there,

Before an island materialised,

Because it felt sorrow for them.

179. They went onto the island,

There from the sea,

They were so thankful,

For it's materialisation.

180. They went to the beach,

On the sand,

It was Nikolius Kuudhars,

His feet first on land.

181. They went to the beach,

On the sand,

All the men of Michael,

Were present in some way.

182. They went to the beach,

On the sand,

Before everybody slept there,

So exhausted.

183. Everybody slept there,

So exhausted,

Apart from Jaionnis,

And Erik Mharlaidh.

184. Although they too,

Were so exhausted,

Jaionnis and Erik,

Still walked there.

185. Jaionnis and Erik,

They were walking there,

There on the island,

With eachother.

186. Erik was there,

Standing on the island,

Meanwhile Jaionnis,

Fell into a hole.

187. Erik was there,

Walking on the island,

Meanwhile Jaionnis,

Fell into a cave.

188. Jaionnis stood there,

In the cave so dark,

Before he saw the colour of gold,

Shining there.

189. When he walked closer,

He saw the golden egg,

He sat there,

And praised Michael.

190. There sat the egg,

Covered in riches,

Beside it lay,

A golden horn.

191. There came Jeremy,

In the cave:

"Listen, Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

Michael is with you."

192. "Blow this horn,

To tell Michael,

That you have found the golden egg,

He is now safe."

193. "Blow this horn,

To help Michael,

The sound will resound,

So widely in the world."

194. Jaionnis took the horn,

He put it to his mouth,

Then he blowed it,

To tell Michael.

195. When Jaionnis blew the horn,

The sound resounded,

So widely in the world,

In Barduro and House.

196. The sound resounded,

So widely in the world,

The language of the charrot,

He could now understand.

197. There came a charrot,

Into the cave,

"Listen Jaionnis Na-Toidh,

You have saved Michael!"

198. Jaionnis Na-Toidh answered,

Standing there:

"You will be remembered,

Among charrots."

199. "You will be remembered,

Among charrots,

You saw the golden egg,

Being found."

200. And then the charrot disappeared,

From vision:

"It was me, John,

All this time!"

201. It was Jaionnis,

Standing in the cave:

"Listen Erik,

Help me get out!"

202. Erik helped Jaionnis,

To get out,

With one hand empty,

And in the other the golden egg.

#### Sejsamardh

203. Early in the morning,

The sun shines over the island,

It had materialised last night,

To help the men of Jaionnis.

204. The sun shone well,

The light came through the trees,

And stones,

Which were all there.

205. The weather was clear,

And so was the sea,

It was decided,

They would stay there for another day.

207. It was Jaionnis,

Standing in the sand:

"Listen, all of you,

Now I have the egg!"

208. "Listen, all of you,

Now I have the egg,

Tomorrow we will sail,

To House!"

209. "Tomorrow we will sail,

With the golden egg,

Back to House,

Where it belongs!"

210. They were going to stay,

But on that same day,

There came a storm,

It destroyed the island.

211. There came a storm,

It damaged the cliffs,

Stones came up,

From the ground.

212. There came a storm,

Life was in danger,

Before it was Jaionnis,

He thought of a solution.

213. "Listen, Michael Barbara,

I swear, by my iron charrot,

I will bring you half of the wealth,

Including your golden egg."

214. "Listen, Michael Barbara,

I swear, by my iron cross,

I will bring you half of the wealth,

Including my golden horn."

215. Then the storm calmed,

The sun shone well,

They went into their boats,

In the same day.

216. They sailed for a month,

In the calm sea,

And then they arrived,

Quickly in House.

217. They walked up,

To the house of Michael,

They waited a while,

And then John came out.

218. "Greetings, great John,

Here in the egg-house,

Now we will give,

The egg to Michael."

219. "Greetings, great John,

Here in the Michael-house,

Now we will give,

The wealth to Michael."

220. They gave Michael,

What he had been promised,

Then they went to the harbour,

And stayed in a house.

221. "Goodbye, my friends,

I will remember you,

As long as the world lasts,

Until my hour of death!"

222. "Goodbye, my friends,

I will remember you,

As long as Barduro lasts,

Until I lie in a grave!"

223. It was Jaionnis,

Standing by the harbour,

He said goodbye, crying,

To all his good men.

224. He went back to Barduro,

To meet Nikolius again,

It was on the last day,

In the 7 years.

225. "Greetings, Nikolius, my friend,

Now the will of Michael is fufilled,

We meet eachother again,

After so many years!"

226. They lived happily,

Everything went so well,

For the rest of their lives,

Jaionnis and Nikolius.

227. Travel to the north,

Travel to find the golden egg,

Travel to the furthest places,

And they both come together again.
