The Mermaid's Sister / int_5cd8680b	comment	Doorstop Baby: One October night, Auntie heard a knock at the door. When she opened it, there was nothing there but a giant conch shell on the path. Auntie took it in and set it on the table. When she tipped it, baby Maren fell out. The girls' friend O'Neill was found by a priest in a basket under an apple tree in a churchyard. The priest was too old to raise a child and didn't want to send him to the Orphanage of Fear, so he gave him to the traveling merchant Scarff. Scarff took O'Neill to Llanfair Mountain, wanting to give the girls a brother, but O'Neill cried whenever he was out of Scarff's sight, so Scarff took him on his travels and raised him as his son.
