Heresy and the Story on the Train

Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine.

It was built in the mountains, comprising brown, black and red soil, instead of being constructed by the mountain. However, it was big enough and could be seen from afar.

It was Pechersk Lavra.

Anatoly had returned to the monastery with Sullivan for three days.

However, Anatoly didn't see Sullivan again within these days. He seemed to go deep into the monastery---where he had never set foot in before, even if he graduated from here.

Forbidden grounds, sacred grounds…such names had been circulated among the students while he was still a student here.

He thought it was probably a conjecture among students, plus the old priest didn't formally explain it, so the legend had been being spread for years.

'Only those who have the grace of the Lord can enter.'
