CHRISTINA - THE PIERCED
 
She shattered idols and defied the Codex.
The chains of faith could not bind her—
Pierced by arrows, she did not fall—
her blood became the ink of rebellion.

Born to wealth and worship, Christina was chosen to serve idols of gold and stone. Yet when the Codex whispered to her father, demanding her obedience, she broke the silence with defiance. She cast the idols down and spat upon their false light.
 
Her father scourged her, burned her, bound her to the wheel — but she endured. The Codex demanded her faith; she gave it only to the unseen Christ. When her father’s hands failed, another judge took his place, piercing her with arrows until she fell silent upon the earth.
 
Yet silence was not the end. Her blood did not seep into the soil — it etched itself into the Codex, each arrow a verse of rebellion.
 
Where Kaelen howls and Elara weeps, Christina stands unbroken, her wounds marking the turning of cycles.
 
Thus she is remembered as Christina the Pierced, martyr of the Blood Eclipse, herald of the Shattered Faith. Her arrows are said to hang still in the unseen firmament, pointing ever at the heart of the Codex itself.
