The day started out the same as any other for the ten year old Achilles SilverBlade, he woke up at sunrise "Achilles! Rise and shine, we've got work to do!" Achilles' father Jacob shouted from the lower floor of their home. Achilles crawled out of bed his short silver hair sticking out in all directions he stood at four feet, five inches tall, he had a large visible scar from a burn on his right hand and he was clad in a cream colored shirt, and a pair of brown pants. Achilles grabbed his black boots and put them on then he brushed the remaining sleep sand from his amber eyes then made his way downstairs and he stretched. Achilles walked over to the window and looked out seeing the sunrise every day was something he always looked forward to; seeing the sun slowly climbing from beyond the horizon and the light bathing the ground below it is a feeling that Achilles would never grow tired of. Once the sun had made itself known Achilles walked into the kitchen to see his mother standing in the kitchen cooking what he assumed would be breakfast "Good morning, sweetheart." Jasmine, Achilles' mother, said in a cheery voice. "Morning mom, where's dad?" Achilles asked as he yawned slightly and stretched. "He's outside by the forge, waiting for you I think." Jasmine replied. "Okay, thanks mom." Achilles replied as he walked out of the room. "I'll call you two in when breakfast is ready." Jasmine said as she waved at Achilles while he walked out of the door of their home. "Alright thanks." Achilles replied before he closed the door behind him. Achilles walked over to the forge area that his family had near their home (this was also the place where he got his burn scar), his father was a blacksmith who made blades, gear, etc. for the military police and many considered him to be one of the best. The crisp morning air flowed through his hair like a river flowing between rocks as he walked over to see his father hammering a hot piece of metal on the anvil "Morning dad." Achilles said as he walked over and grabbed his blacksmith apron and gloves. "Morning son." Jacob said looking up from his work on the blade that he was currently working on briefly then quickly going back to his work. Achilles rolled his eyes as he saw his father do this but after a couple seconds Achilles went over to the chest where he and his father kept resources like ingots, leather, coal, and so forth and collected a few things "Son, can you come and help me hold this blade in place?" Jacob asked as he gripped the glowing hot blade with his forging tongs. "Sure dad." Achilles replied as he placed the materials he just gathered down and grabbed a pair of tongs and went over then he grabbed the blade and held it while his father slammed his hammer against the hot metal. The forging on the blade took roughly an hour until it was completely finished (Jacob had been working on this blade for days prior) Jacob then grabbed the blade using his tongs and placed it into the quenching oil tank after a few moments he took the blade out and heated it back up then quenched it in water, when the blade was finished it was clearly one of the blades used by the military police "Right, forging is done now this just needs to be sharpened." Jacob said but just as he arrived at the grinding wheel to begin to sharpen the blade so it would be able to cut through the flesh of the titans Jasmine called from inside the house "Achilles, Jacob it's time for breakfast." Jasmine called. "Alright mom." Achilles replied as he walked back inside only removing his gloves as he and his father would have to get right back to work after they ate. And Jacob left the blade he'd only just finished leaning against his grinding wheel as he walked inside. The three of them took their places at the table and ate a simple meal of bread and milk. Breakfast was finished quickly and Achilles and his father quickly got back to work, Achilles' father finished grinding the blade he had been working on then he took the blade and walked over to a large haybale which was roughly as thick as the skin on a titan and he swung the blade, the blade cut through the bale with ease and Jacob smiled as he looked at his reflection in the blade. Suddenly a flash of yellow lighting was seen striking the ground outside the wall "What the hell was that?!" Achilles shouted as he left the forge and looked out at the wall then he saw a gigantic hand covered by just muscle no skin grab onto the top of the wall "That's... not possible." Achilles said in awe. Soon he saw another hand grab the top of the wall again "Oh dear God!" Jacob said stunned as looked out to see what was going on. Then they saw a giant head again covered with only muscle and no skin "It's a titan..." Jacob said stunned. Suddenly the Titan reared its giant foot back and smashed a hole in the first wall, Wall Maria, and just as suddenly as it appeared the monstrous Colossal Titan disappeared. Achilles and his family quickly ran out of their house as titans of all shapes and sizes began to pour into Shinganshina. the three of them ran frantically through the crowd of terrified people Achilles had thrown away his apron to allow him to run faster but seconds later Achilles stopped and looked back to see if any titans were close to them and when he turned back a man bumped into him sending Achilles to the ground "Son! Are you hurt?" Jacob asked as he and Jasmine helped Achilles to his feet. Achilles shook his head "Good, now come one we must get out of here quickly!" Jacob said. But shortly after they started running again they heard a loud noise behind them besides all of the screaming and when Achilles' parents turned around they were horrified to see a bolder flying straight at them. In a split second decision Jacob shoved Achilles away "We love-" Jacob said before being cut off by the boulder reducing him and his wife to nothing. Achilles passed out but was awakened to see the aftermath of what happened to his parents and he saw his father's hand sticking out from under the boulder but he didn't have much time to think about it as seconds later a military police person showed up "Can you stand up? If you can get to the boat." The person ordered as he helped Achilles to his feet Achilles soon looked at his father's hand again and saw his wedding band around the middle finger but he didn't have much time to think about it and he just started to run to the boat that was taking people out of the city. Tears streamed from Achilles' amber eyes as he quickly began running to the boat without a second thought, while the titans stomped around grabbing and eating people some of them were still alive as they were being eaten. Achilles then heard a loud crash behind him and glanced back to see another new type of titan, this one had much visible muscle all over its body, had white hair and its body was cov ered in multiple armor plates, an armor plate that covered its mouth cracked open which revealed its teeth as it spewed out a stream of hot white steam. Achilles made it aboard the boat and leaned against the side with his knees pulled closely to his chest as tears continued to rain down from his eyes while images of his parents and titans kept flashing through his mind. "I'll kill every last one of you." Achilles heard someone say. Achilles then looked up to see a boy roughly the same age as Achilles himself looking over the side of the boat they were on. "There won't be a single titan left in the world once I'm through with you." He heard the boy say. the boy was wearing brown shoes, a pair of black pants, a very faded yellow shirt, a brown overcoat, he had short brown hair, and his eyes were bluish green. Next to him was another young boy this one had blonde hair that went down passed his ears, a blue overcoat, a gray dress shirt, a pair of brown pants and a pair of brown shoes the blonde boy's eyes were a grayish color. And the last person with him was a young girl again about the same age as Achilles she had long black hair that reached her shoulders, she wore a red scarf around her neck, she had a pink coat and a white dress she also had a pair of brown leather shoes, and her eyes were an icy blue color. Achilles clenched one of his fists as his grief started to turn to rage directed toward the monsters who had just taken his family from him "I'll take back our home, I promise father..." Achilles mumbled between sobs.
