Matilda, The Temple district, Prayer Hall of the Church of Lord of Justice.
Kneeling on the cushion, the young girl gazed at the statue before her, a simple, small wooden carving of a human figure, entirely different from the gigantic statues adorned with gold leaf and jewels in other churches.
But Matilda knew that this modest carving was the preferred gift of the great Deity, a gift from that lady, crafted with the not-so-exquisite skills of a noble and stained with a trace of blood.
It now stood in the grand hall of the main Church, and these were replicas carved by the maidens of justice.
It was also the proudest mission for a Justice Maiden. Each girl took pride in this task.
