And here I was, wondering why no Amazon Challenge story updates any more... lol. And then you did it! (How did I miss the other update, though? :neutral: )
1.51: I feel like Anikka is very protective of Marcella. It's kind of cute, like a big sister. And why not? Molpe did her best to be a good sister and she certainly is, but Anikka has probably spent more time with Marcella than with her actual sister. And probably more relaxed time, anyway.
Lol. Of course a newcomer would be the topic for days. I can imagine there's not much else happening when you live so remote.
1.52: Lol WHAT. Molpe seems like a decent storyteller, first the story that has a morale at the end and then the one that is actually funny. "Let me tell you how my aunt fell into the same pond..." LOL
Polgara is such a wonderful friend, it is heartwarming. However, I think she is absolutely right. Anikka may be wise in terms of knowledge and the ways of the world, Polgara's wise in social aspects. As I said earlier, Molpe was a good sister but she also was Anikka's mother, to some extent. Because Anikka still needed a mother when they left, she was way younger than Molpe. And the queen filled that spot, probably without ever realizing. It robbed them of some of the sisterly interactions, just messing around together, having fun. In that regard, I think Anikka growing up may prove very precious for both of them. They're on similar levels now and can finally be sisters again. Giving advice to each other, being there, understanding the world of the other one (a child would never fully understand the world of an adult and the other way round). And they can still fool around with each other, since all of us know that having fun doesn't end with your teenage years ;) And I mean, Anikka won't be in the palace any more but she will still live close-by. And what is one queen for if not ordering one's sister to come for a visit? :D
