Shortly after the High Wills mischievously fulfilled the wish for punishment of a youngster, turning him into the Twisted One and manifesting the Miracle in Cvstodia, Laudes became a devotee to him. Her immense passion exuded from her body in the form of liquid gold and, by the High Wills' working, became incarnated as four women: four replicas, four reflections of Laudes.
These Five Dawns took upon themselves to guard and parade the Twisted One in public, while he still "lived in a divine prison of pain and piety, supported on and rooted in a tree, between sobs and cracks". Consequently, the Saeta first arose as the procession march which resounded far and wide and announced the Twisted One's presence. It is implied that Jibrael himself played the Saeta during those processions.
After the Twisted One's final passing, the High Wills, jealous of Laudes's passionate devotion and ardour towards him instead of towards them through the Miracle, cursed, condemned, and bound the Five Dawns to their whim and sealed them five, asleep and undead, in five crystal sarcophagi as punishment. Consequently, the Saeta became a force in itself, to be blown from Jibrael's twisted bronze bugle, in order that the Saeta can resound again and awaken the Amanecidas and Laudes up from their slumber whenever the High Wills, which never forget them, needs them again.
