The Hollow War - Sniper Nun

The orphan nuns of the Order of St. Jocelyn are being sent to the battlefields at the age of six. Their main task at this young age is to help out wherever they can: aiding the wounded, carrying ammunition and provisions to the troops in the foxholes, cleaning weapons... there are a million jobs for a child in the trenches. The purpose of these first years is to harden them to the harsh life of a frontline trooper, and to weed out those that are too soft and of too little faith to make it. When they reach the age of twelve unscathed in body and mind, their training with the weapon begins. For another six years they serve at the hottest areas of the front, honing their marksmanship with every shot they take until they become feared and deadly sharpshooters, veterans that have faced and survived everything hell threw at them. When they turn eighteen they return to the monastery in the north of France. Here, they look into the everglowing eyes of the skull of St. Jocelyn, who returns their gaze and permanently blinds them. From then on, they aim purely guided by faith, and neither fog nor darkness can hide their foes from them, for they have seen the truth in the light. They return to the front to guard crucial sectors of the battlefield and to train the younger nuns. Every once in a while, a veteran nun will get sent on her final mission. She gets clad in a holy cloak that hides her from heretical eyes, slips through the lines of the foe and travels miles into the no man's land to take out crucial targets. She knows she won't return, but she will still take the shot.
