Chapter 1
Landfall
"Huhuhuhuh, we really could have died!" The pale boy dragged the girl over his shoulder before placing her on the hill side. He shook his body as if he was some sort of animal as the girl in front of him winced dusting herself off.
"Y-you moron, why did you decide to jump off at that very moment!" she groaned fixing her hair. Making sure it was done in the perfect twin tails she usually wore.
"If I didn't we would have missed it for sure...this is the place right, you are the human in this situation so you would know that right?" the boy laughed again as the girl grumbled taking out her bag.
Despite it being in the sea it was completely dry. She took out what appeared to be an old map before staring off the side of the cliff. Despite being on land' the waves were washing by, it seemed that they managed to make it on the giant ship.
"Yeah...this is the Legacy..." the girl put the map back into the bag as the pale boy snatched it way from her digging through it. Without warning he took out a small jelly like monster from it, he put the monster on the tip of his finger speaking to it in an unknown language.
It was...unpleasant to the girl's ears. No, it was more than that, it was disgusting, at the same time. It was only because of that voice was the reason why the girl could trust the boy at the moment.
"Huhuhuhuh! He doesn't know anything about this place either!"
The girl grumbled, the boy was her...friend, but he was more than that. He was her only was of saving her sister. So for the time being she would put up with his stupidity.
"Hey Thyra, where do we go first?"
The girl frowned for a moment. As annoying as it was for him to ask, she was the one that dragged him with her. She only had an idea of where to go, the map she had wasn't very accurate and it only gave her a vague location.
"There is an Orerines city nearby known as Werites Beacon...but," Thyra didn't like the idea of going to a city inhabited by Orerines, at the same time she didn't know if the Legacy even had a Village of the Ferines...
"Don't worry, I doubt anyone is going to mess with you, you are all humans. Don't know why you all hate each other so much!" the boy laughed as he placed the small monster under his shirt.
Thyra frowned, there wasn't much she could do about it. While she wanted to avoid it all cost it was a pill she would have to swallow if she wanted to save her sister.
"Crim, don't do anything that will draw attention to ourselves, we just need information that is it..." Thyra insisted as Crim just laughed again.
"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone if that is what you are worried about," Crim laughed walking down the steep incline Thyra following after him.
The road was somewhat straightforward with little detours or distractions. Even the monster count was rather low, which was for the best. Thyra wasn't capable of defending herself at all after all.
After a few minutes they finally arrived at what Thyra assumed was Werites Beacon. There was a giant lighthouse that could be seen even at the outskirts of the city. They were right on the edge, they just had to cross the stone walkway and they would be in the city.
However Thyra hesitated, she was breathing heavily. Despite the front she was putting on before she was absolutely terrified of going into the city, going into the city with the enemy...the very people that kidnapped her sister in the first place.
"Huhuhuhuh! This place looks pretty interesting!" Crim just smiled before entering the town like it wasn't a big deal.
Thyra cursed herself, if she had bought a different pair of clothing it wouldn't be an issue. She was going to stand out regardless of what she did, and leaving Crim to his own business would have just made things worse.
So with a heavy heart she took her first step hoping she wouldn't regret it later.
She stood behind Crim not to expose herself too much. The town was rather busy, so while there were a few wandering eyes no one seemed too concerned about them. Of course that just brought up another problem...
Where were they going to get the information? After all, they had to talk to people to actual learn something, something that Thyra was not willing to do.
"Wow, you sure are wimpy ain't you Thrya, if you were going to act like this you should just have stayed home and sent me alone," Crim laughed as Thrya's eye twitched for a spit second her anger made her forget all about her fear.
"Y-you idiot, you wouldn't even be able to read a map without me...anyway, I have to save her..." Thrya bit her lip, her sister was kidnapped a few weeks ago, the only reason she wasn't taken too was because of Crim.
The two of them wandered into town as Thrya noticed a nearby map. She looked at it, but the instructions was confusing even for her. It was large and sprawling, the complete opposite of the small village she had came from. Despite acting like the more sophisticated one Thrya herself was just as much as a country bumpkin as Crim.
"So, do you know where to go next?"
"O-of course, we go that way..." Thrya was just pointing in any direction really, she simply didn't want to come off as an idiot.
The two walked into a random direction passing multiple people on the way. As they walked Thrya heart sank, they somehow managed to end up in what appeared to be a plaza. She cursed her bad luck, she wanted to avoid Orerines, not end up at a hot spot for them.
Wowy, there sure is a lot of humans here," Crim stood on his toes trying to peek over everyone's head. Despite being a boy, he was only an inch or two taller than Thrya.
"C-Crim let's go, I don't think anyone is he-" before Thrya could finish her statement they heard a voice call out.
"Hey does anyone want to take me on? If you can beat me I'll give you 50,000 Gald!"
That was all that Crim needed to hear as he started to push through the crowd.
"W-what, Crim no!" Thrya tried to keep her voice down as she grabbed his arm trying to stop him. However she knew it was a pointless gesture. Crim entire existence was fighting, even if there was no reason for it he would do it. He was the type of person who would start a war just for the sake of having a war.
Crim finally shook Thrya from her arm stepping up as the others around him started to back down.
"W-wait this guy is a eren?" one of the townsfolk spoke as they stepped back, which was fine by Crim it meant less people to get in the way.
In the middle of all this chaos was a silver haired man standing in the center of the plaza Crim grinned as he looked at him.
"Hey, are you the guy who said you wants to fight?" Crim called out pointing to him, Thrya sat in the background biting her knuckles. Things were going from bad to worse, a fight was going to break out, she knew it.
"...Don't talk to me..." the silver haired man glared at Crim who just smiled.
Crim lifted both of his arms, striking a pose. "I am not an eren or whatever you humans call it, but I have killed plenty of your kind with the glowing hands, please make it enjoyable for me..."
He was a completely different person when battle started, all sense left him. The only thing Crim would focus on when a fight started was ending it.
His nails was inhumanly sharp as he waited for his enemy to make the first move. At this point the only thing that Thrya could do was hope he would end the fight quickly so they could move on.
"Tsk, fine then," the silver haired teen lowered his stance as if he was some kind of boxer. The two stared each other down, both waiting for the other to move.
"Golly, you aren't going to move...then I'll go first," placing one of his hands on the ground Crim leapt forward like an animal laughing to himself.
"...!" the silver teen barely managed to avoid the attack before throwing a punch that landed square on Crim's jaw...yet, Crim didn't flinch, he didn't even move.
"Huh? what was that, was that really an attack?" Crim spoke as if there wasn't a fist firmly planted in his face. "I let you hit me just then to see how strong you were, but if that was everything you could muster then I'll just finish this right quick,"
There was a genuine disappointment in Crim's voice as he raised his hand to counter, but before he could something happen.
"Hey, what's all this commotion about," at that moment everyone was distracted, and at that moment Thrya didn't hesitate to grabbed Crim and drag him off somewhere.
"T-Thrya wha-"
"Shut up...we have to leave before you cause anymore trouble," Thrya dragged Crim out of the courtyard and back into the city.
"Aw...I didn't get to finish my fight,"
"We aren't here for that!" Thrya snapped, it felt like she was talking to a toddler.
"You two aren't from around here are you..." before Thrya and Crim could continue their conversation a voice got their attention. They both turned to see an older gentleman wearing glasses, he stood a good couple of feet above both of them as Thrya froze on the spot.
The man scanned her, no doubt taking note of her clothing.
"Wait...are you a-"
"Howdy, my name is Crim!" if almost on cue rim got between the man and Thrya almost as if he was shielding her. Thrya didn't know if it was on purpose or if he was just being his usual self, she made a point to thank him later.
"Oh well, hello, I suppose you two are new here..." the man eyes narrowed as Crim just laughed.
"Yep, we were looking for someone that have been kidnapped, you don't know who that would be would you?" Crim tilted his head. The one good thing about his small stature was that most people just thought of him as a kid rather than a threat.
"Why do you ask..."
It seemed that the man knew something, but he wasn't going to give it up without a good reason. Thrya bit her lip. She despised the idea of even speaking with an Orerines, however she had to think of a good excuse to get some information.
"Y-you see, we are looking for someone from a nearby area. We have to get the information back to them as soon as possible, so if anyone with blonde hair and blue eyes have been taken lately the information would be a big help," Thrya swallowed harshly as the man closed his eyes.
"Recently a girl has been taken by bandits, but that is it...now onto you tw-" before the man could question the duo screams were heard from the plaza.
"W-what int he world?" The man ran past them as Thrya nearly collapsed in relief.
"That sure was a close one huh? Plus now we got some information!" Crim grinned as Thrya body was shaking.
It was scary, the entire situation was horrifying. Even if the current danger had passed they were going to be walking into a den of bandits soon, she knew that it wasn't going to be easy...but still.
"Thrya are you okay...you look pale, do you want to rest somewhere? You humans are rather fragile, and we have been going nonstop since we sailed from the mainland.
"No...no, we need to keep going," Thrya took a deep breath staggering to her feet. After all, every second they wasted was a second that her sister would be suffering, every second they wasted was a second that Fenimore could have been in danger.

Characters
Thyra Welzes
Age 15
A Ferines that came to the Legacy looking for her older twin sister that was kidnapped, she has a short temper and a haughty attitude. But is actually rather cowardly and gets flustered when in dangerous situations. She became friends and recruited Crim to help her rescue her sister once he single handily saved her village from a group of soldiers
Crim
Age ?
A being known as Crim, though he prefers to go by monster. He loves fighting and talking to other monsters, he became friends with Thyra after he saved her village and slaughtered a group of soldiers that were attacking him. Though as he states the only reason he did it was because they ripped his shirt and he had nothing better to do.
He doesn't look like to be a Ferines or a Orerines and refers to both species as 'human'
He has no capacity for eres and all his feats are simply due to his sheer amount of physical strength.
I am honestly surprised that Thyra doesn't have her own character slot in the sections...weird. Also, I sadly doubt anyone is going to read it since it's a Legendia fic, but I kind of just wanted to write one.
