Cade walked out of the Glowing Sea, her machete in hand and the broken helmet of her T-51 Power Armor under her other arm.
She breathed in the glowing air, feeling the warmth spread into her lungs and body. It didn’t harm her. No, Atom has been kind enough to bless her with immunity from radiation. Radiation was something to be encouraged and strengthened. That was what they taught her.
Cade was no stranger to the rest of the Commonwealth. She’d traveled out of the Crater many times before, trying to see more of the land. How did others live? Those who could die from radiation and who were not part of Atom’s chosen.
And what about ghouls? She’s always been curious about their transformation...
She sighed and closed her eyes, searching with her mind for the right words. A green foggy haze entered her thoughts and like all of her promptings she felt the urge to speak aloud...

“Decay. That is what you are.
Not the life-breath Atom has given me thus far. For one may breathe you
And another worship you
But you still kill them all

Monsters, you’ve created.
Humans into beings that are hated and feed upon others
While you continue to prey on them too.
You never stop eating, never stop
Feeding and breading,
Seeping into others souls, only needing to be spread.
Only continuing to prey on this world,
With little thought to those who pray to you.”

Her words fell away into the emptiness around her, the dead reaching trees the only audience.
She glanced back once more to the foggy haze that surrounded that sea. No, she wouldn’t be going back there.
