I lived in the sky. That's how I like putting it any way. In reality I lived on an old, falling apart freeway construct. Our leader told us these were left behind from times past. These freeways were built for cars that took people to faraway places. The skeletons of the cars were still scattered here and there. Mainly used to live in or for scarps for other items.

I am a part of a nightly watch for my people that is why I live on this freeway. Down below is the rest of the community. I use to live there with them. I never had parents of my own, I lived with other orphans who had lost their family. Wither it be from drugs, raiders or such as that. All I had ever know was doing my chores.

One day the leader came down and said that our community needed new and more soldiers for the ever growing Army. I wanted to be a part of something bigger them myself. Wanted to help the community in some way, I believe a lot of the other orphans thought the same thing as they had all joined as well when they were of age. There was only ten of us that were 13, the age most were recruited in to the Army for our community. We really didn't have a big one. It was sizeable of 50 soldiers.

When I was enlisted I was also put in to a special training with only two others from the recruitment. This was called the Azure Drage. We had been selected when it was shown that we had something special about ourselves. I never knew what it was, honestly. I did what I was told and always tried my best to help out others. Apparently this was what was sought after for this special task force.

We trained for many years in the special task force. Taught how to disarm bombs, how to hack rouge robots. Mainly a lot of stealth combat, and the history of this larger army called The Brotherhood of Steel.

I was told never to reveal my learnings to the others as they wouldn't understand. I never did. I had no friends here. Even in the Azure Drage, I was left by myself. Everyone had their place, mine was sitting alone on top of the perch in the sky watching below the people of my community and the Boston wasteland.

On a clear night I had relieved my comrade Nisa from her watch. We didn't speak to one another, I never bothered. I sat there for a few hours before hearing someone enter the hut with me. It wasn't time for comrade Paul to come and relieve me as he would be coming with the sun was barley rising. When I looked over to the person I saw it was our one and only leader.

I quickly stood up and saluted to the leader.

"Thank you for visiting me leader!" I barked out at him, frighten I might had done something wrong.

He raised his hand for me to be seated. He had no guards with him. This was an odd sight as he never left his home, and if he did he was always presented with his guards.

"Be still, Enola. I have come with a request. We are at a time where we need to make ourselves aware to the other people in this land. It seems as though a certain group has been getting closer to our home. I would like for you to go out to the camp of these people and see what they are needing. Do not engage them. Watch and learn their motives is all. Also, there is something I need for you to bring back."

He sat down now next to me and lowered his voice. I leaned closer in to him so that this would be kept between us. "There is a town not far from here called Concord. In this town there will be the suit of armor the Brotherhood of Steel uses. I would like for you to bring it back to us so that we may study it. You cannot speak of this part of the mission to anyone, you understand the importance of this?" He asked me.

I looked up at him and nodded in understanding. "I will fulfill this mission you have given me, great leader. Do I get new weapons and armor as well?"

The leader now stood and walked to the exit. "Yes, because of the severity of this mission you are to leave tonight. Your things are in your hut. You will be relieved now. Dismissed." The leader left and there was comrade Paul.

I nodded to Paul and took my leave, but he grabbed my arm. I looked up at him confused but he kept staring out to nothing.

"Don't trust everything he has to say." He warned me.

Paul let go and sat on the bench looking out to the wastes as though we never had any interaction. I walked back to him.

"Paul, why were listening to this secrete mission? You know that is grounds for punishment." I asked him. But, there had to be a reason for him doing such a thing.

Paul was shorter then me but still acted as though he was a tuff guy. I knew this to be a charade. I didn't care for this act.

"I didn't mean to listen. I was told to come and relieve you now and he was just leaving. I didn't hear all what was going on but enough. I know you won't go tell the leader. But, a lot of strange things has been happening is all I am saying. Some of the best Azure Drages just up and leave on "missions" And not one of them has come back." He looked up at me now.

I saw the concern in his face. This interaction made me feel a bet unnerved. Paul, or anybody really, had ever spoken to me this long. "You're a good person, Enola. I know we never speak much, but I hate to see losing you is all. So, just keep your head on a swivel out there, okay? Come back to us."

This caught me off guard. He literally had a feeling something more secretive then this secrete mission was going on. It was no mystery a lot of guards had gone missing. 'Deserters' was what we were all told. Or maybe it had to do with Paul said? Either way I nodded in understanding and left the hut.

I walked out to the cool, crisped air and hurried to my shelter. I found the things the leader's guard had left me. I suited up and went to the elevator to the land below. I was armed with a nice black leather vest with the rest of my outfit being black as well. To top it off I had a long, black coat as well to hide the bag I was given. In the bag was things needed for the journey. Bullets for an assortment of guns and previsions. With how much I was given I would say I would be gone for almost two weeks. Inside was the map I was to follow to get to the intruders camp and then to Concord.

I was stopped at the elevator by the two guards there. I saluted them, "Comrade Enola of the Azure Drage reporting. I was given orders to leave the Sky."

One of the guards check the clip board and nodded. "Yeah, you're on the list. Get on." They opened the gates of the elevator and I was lowered down. There were two more guards but they did not speak to me. Knowing I was already allowed down.

I pulled the map and my compass out and aligned myself to where the camp would be at. I stepped off for my adventure to begin.
