Blood and Connections (3)
It was a song.
A song borne out of misery? Not necessarily. But Chaerin did sing and it was no hum, no simple melody that you whispered but instead it was something you could have called a real song.
Something that you sang to pass the time–surely.
But it was something more.
Chaerin was not really the 'sing-song' person, and if anything, Lukas had heard Lily singing while the two of them worked. A 'merry working' song if you could call it that. Beautiful, melodious and something that lifted the spirits.
It was a great contrast to Chaerin's voice.
This was a song of challenges, of a strength that existed in spite of the pain–it was a song that beckoned the greatest of foes and to look them in the eye and utter the words "Strike me at your strongest" with an unwavering look.
There was no surety, no certainty that things would get better.
