8 Years:
The day before her eighth birthday, Sister Halina showed up to take Zita with her to enlist her with the Adepta Sororitas. As Rosale said goodbye when Zita was taken away by Sister Halina, Zita received an amulet from her mother. "Never forget who you are!" were the words her mother whispered in her ear as she took the coin. Zita was never told what is was and up until now, the actual meaning of the amulet hasn't been revealed.

Till 12 Years:
Up till the age of twelve, Zita got her schooling on Ophelia VII. By that time she was accepted as a true novice of the Adepta Sororitas. She had a hard time adjusting to the rigid teachings of the Daughters of the Emperor. But by the time she had progressed through her training and became a novice, she had adopted the uncompromising, resolute, determined character that most people attribute to the Daughters of the Emperor. |
Till 21 Years:
During the rest of her life as a novice of the Daughters of the Emperor, Zita became the personal apprentice of Sister Halina, following her around on all her charges. Most of time visiting various convents of the Adepta Sororitas. This gave her the perfect opportunity to skim through a large number of scrolls and books in their libraries, looking for the meaning of her amulet, as most of the time when Sister Halina had meetings, she was not allowed to join them. Zita always taught that Sister Halina was unaware of her reading all those ancient texts. Up until recent that was, when Sister Halina started to ask her opinion on certain knowledge that was not included in their training and Zita could only have learned when spending time in the libraries. To her surprise she was not reprimanded for this and Sister Halina encouraged her to keep doing this. Lately Sister Halina has been asking to look for strange books written in some kind of a Xenos language. |
24 Years:
More trips make up the last few years of Zita's training under the supervision of Sister Halina. Travelling further and further away from the core of the galaxy towards the outer rims. Evermore collecting scriptures in Xenos languages. Until Sister Halina was summoned to Holy Terra itself. It is here where Zita was met with the highest honour an Adepta Sororitas face. A meeting, however brief it might have been, with the Abbess Sanctorum. She even was given a silver Aquila necklace by the Abbess Sanctorum herself. It made Zita very proud and she wanted to tell Sister Halina what happened. But when she arrived at the quarters of her mentor, Sister Halina was not there. Instead, a servo skull was there to deliver a message to Zita. |
