Chapter 41 - The Commoner Route (2/2)
Ahoy Scurvy Sc.u.ms!
How is it going for you? For me, it's been quite the week. This entry is going to be dedicated to the best kind of sister in the world - the soul sister.
Let's call this soul sister - Sister Merry.
Sister Merry didn't start out as a soul sister. There was some really bitter rivalry going on that resulted in an all-out brawl. Now, don't judge so quickly! Let's listen to the full story.
Sister Merry was initially friends with Sister Kelly (I made their names rhyme a little). The two were best friends and inseparable. One day, an unfortunate event occurred. Sister Kelly's parents had to go to a faraway place and little Kelly was left to the care of Merry's home.
Merry's parents treated Kelly really well. However, Kelly was afraid of becoming a burden and getting thrown out by Merry's parents so she did her best to be the most well-behaved kid in the entire world.
Kelly wasn't originally well-behaved and Merry knew that. They were best friends after all. After Merry saw her parents praising Kelly for being such a nice child while she got scolded for pulling mischief that the best pals would normally do together, Merry felt betrayed.Her loving parents were turning hostile on her and favoured her new sister.
Things escalated and the best friends turned sisters fought. In the heat of the moment, Merry accidentally hit Kelly in the head, causing her to bleed. Merry's parents rushed Kelly to the hospital. That night, little Merry starved because everyone was too worried about little Kelly in the hospital. In all honesty, that wasn't intentional. It was a children's fight gone wrong but nobody listened to poor Merry. The a.d.u.l.ts thought that Merry was a horrible child whose jealousy had gone too far to be considered harmless.
When Kelly found out that Merry was getting punished for hitting her, she immediately went to beg Merry's parents for leniency. Initially, Merry hated her for continuing with that good girl act but when Kelly admitted that she only put on an act due to her insecurities as a child who wasn't born into the family, everyone opened their hearts. To make Kelly feel belonged, Merry made a pledge and the two became soul sisters after burying the hatchet.
So here's a thought for everyone reading the post. Is blood truly thicker than water? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. Adventuring starts early tomorrow so your captain is going to turn in first. To the last person on watch, don't forget to put out the light!
Fair winds!

It was nearing eleven at night when Scarlet typed the last word and finished editing the post. She yawned and scheduled the post before climbing into bed. So much has happened over the last few days, the blogger simply forgot about Claire's heads-up about the new person she was about to meet.
