A cry of shock came out from Sister Moni's mouth, unconsciously though.
Her eyes had lost focus and plunged deep into her own memories.
Was it 50 years ago?
No, no, much further than that!
Back then when she wasn't the saintess but just a muddleheaded apprentice nun, she had once seen the brilliance of the last God's Child of Dawn from far.
It was exactly same, tender and tenacious, unyielding and strong, just like the dawn of first light.
That was the last of the glorious era of the Church of Dawn.
After that, even God's Child couldn't compete with time. Aging, dying, everything was fixed like destiny itself.
During God's Child's passing, Sister Moni became one of the candidates for the saintess position.
Then, Church of Dawn went downhill day by day and eventually became apart history itself. The history of the church only lived on in certain books and records throughout the ages and now, all that was left was a school.
