As long as Minerva wears her pendant, her thoughts are ordered. And with order comes safety.
Following Minerva's traumatization by a fellow contractor, the next month the young girl spent a good bit of the next month in her room. She stopped practicing everything else, just focusing on herself, and that feeling of helplessness that had come with it.
And one night, she dreamed. She remembered battling the nightmare monster, of the defenses she had forged. And she forged them again. Ordering her thoughts, marshaling them, she assembled her mind into a castle. A Castle of Light, a bright beacon in the darkness.
The castle is built to withstand a siege from the darkness. Even taking the field is a monumental task, requiring great effort by an assailant, more than most can bring to bare - and after an enemy has been cast out once, such a tactic won't work again.
Each step into the castle is a slog, a constant exhausting battle to take a wall, only to find another wall behind it that the defenders have retreated to and fortified themselves again.
From the highest point of the castle a bright light glows, and she can rain down light and hope upon invaders from it.
The castle stands at all times, a fortress for her mind and her dreams.
Of course, the walls of her castle are manned, and it is an effort for her to open the gates to anyone. It's safer that way. With time, she learned to open them again.
