Some soldiers rode slowly through the streets on horseback, keeping an eye on all the citizens.
As she got closer to the top, Leah saw how there were more and more soldiers. A thin chain hung in the air, supported by a military post.
Taking a breath, Leah slid her fingers through her hair, combing it through. Straightening her back, Leah began to walk firmly and lifted her chin, and she said, "Goodnight."
The soldiers scrambled to their feet, shining a streetlight on Leah. A soldier moved a little closer to her, placing his hand on the handle of his pistol, and then he said, "Good evening, who's going?"
Leah stood firm, placing her hands on her waist, saying, "I am Leah Barbosa, first officer of the raptor and lieutenant of the alliance."
Taking a breath out of habit, Leah slid her hand around her waist, looking to feel her pistol while saying, "Servant of the bastion. I come to give important information to the governor's assistant."
