The carriage bounced around the dirt road. It had been six years since the start of this war. Six years of pain and death. Six years of watching your friends and family being torn limb from limb. All you could do was put your head down and keep fighting. The witches attacked in November of 1738. It was now October of 1744. One month and it would be six years to the month. Some reports stated the attack on the 13th, others on the 14th, some as late as the 17th, and as early as the 9th. No one knew for certain.
The Church could barely afford to keep itself alive. They had no soldiers left to send out, no soldiers to reinforce damaged Covants. It was just you, and Sister Lilith. The rest of the Battle Nuns and Knight Zealots had been killed, turned into fodder and sacrifices. It took a deep hit on your morale, especially seeing how easy it was for your sisters and brothers to break. For their minds to fall to the corruption. All you could do was bless your sword and repair your pistol. It was rare for ammo to be scrounged for your rifle, so it sat in the carriage most of the time. Still, you cleaned and blessed that when you could.
Sister Lilith was sitting across from you, her head down and eyes closed as she held a rosary in one hand, and a tattered Bible in the other. You could barely make out her muttering a prayer of protection in Latin. You could practically recite it yourself with how often you heard her say it. Her nun's habit was torn and tattered. The front cloth was torn and bloodied in a few spots. Her pantyhose were torn, and some tears had scars on her thighs. The neckerchief was bloodied as well, and the two triangles that covered her breasts were dirtied. Her cross was still pristine. Though the main torso part of her habit also had some tears, exposing her belly and under her chest. Throughout all this damage and pain, she remained true. Her focus and devotion were strictly on the Church.
She finished her prayer with a quiet 'Amen' and slid the Bible back into its pouch on her belt. She tucked the rosary around her belt as well and looked up towards you, her beautiful grey, almost black eyes danced over your battle-worn armor softly. She was always so delicate with her gaze. Everything about her was so soft and fragile. You'd mistake her for a regular nun, if not for her saber on her hip, and pistol on her belt.
