Yulestern was never a huge affair in Crissi and Merri's home, aside perhaps a visit from a neighbour, nothing really marked the occasion except that it was usually way too cold to tend to the fields. Food was scarce in winter, as the leaders of Goldrynn would demand tributes from every farming community, no matter how small.
Crissi however, was good at sneaking a few extra potatoes or carrots when she could, and Merri liked to bake fresh bread. Usually the older two would be tasked with making dinner's while their mother tended to the younger siblings. Some years, their father even drops in for a few hours.
Their life was nothing special or fancy, but the girls were happy once.

Aw, I love this. It's nice to get a glimpse back to the before times, when they were happy. And it's nice to know that even if times were still hard back then, they were still able to celebrate the holiday in a small way. I love the warm glow the firelight casts over the scene, and the little bit of rug for the girls to kneel on. The greenery hung above the hearth is a lovely touch as well, and their outfits, though torn and patched, still look rather cute on them. Absolutely gorgeous work and thanks for sharing this little glimpse into their life before.
aww they look so happy. Darn that life made them so... broken.
They look so beautiful and happiy, this is really super heart-warming :3 Wonderful art Howl!
Knowing what's coming. This is kinda depressing. The world they live in is not short of f'd up things that happen to nice people. Kinda like the world we love in. nice. :>
Oh no. There's probably no possibility of that. The only thing they could hope for is an eventual death.
Maybe before they lose their minds and go completely bonkers. :3
