On a green, wet hill next to a large carrot farm stands an old stone home built back in the year resident is a one Heinz Guderia. This man, now well into his 70s as well as his retirement, lives with a large glaring secret, that he can't explain nor bring up to anybody.
A couple of days after the colossal titan attack Heinz was on his way to one of the refugee camps to deliver some fresh carrots, when he stops by the side of the rode in a woodsy area to take a pee. It was there were he saw a man on top of a boy, Heinz was about to go help the boy, when a small titan appears out of nowhere! Heinz scared and taken aback, falls back on his back, watching as the titan devours the man. The titan for some reason then disappeared, how this happened or what was responsible Heinz did not know, nor did he stay long enough to find out.
That is the secret burdening Heinz, feeding away at his sanity. He remembers little of what happened after that. He however knows that he will never be able to share this with anybody, sadly Heinz was alone in his later years, his wife died before him of a sickness and his son was in the garrison, but even though he knew the truth he remained silent in fear of the disappearing titan and the deathly implications of it.

The year is 850 Heinz being a successful carrot farmer is healthy yet worn in appearance. Heinz himself is the ripe old age of 76, even for an old man he was 6 feet tall and very wide strong shoulders, on-top of his head laid white grey hair and on his upper lip a large curled brown moustache, however he was blind in his left eye even though his right eye was a beautiful shade of dark violet.
He was on his way to the capital that day to sell some of his carrots to the markets there, he is well known because of his military background, and after all he outlived most of the other survey core members.
He arrived in the capital early the MP's already knew him due to his frequent visits and selling in the capital, he had an approved and valid selling permit which meant that he could start and be done sooner than usual.
On his way through the main street towards the market he sees the people and MP's all acting strange, he had remarked that there was a convoy going through however that short of thing was ordinary in the capital…at least to the Military Police, or so he thought.
Now of his carriage he starts to walk over to the first vendor and is greeted with a smile and a friendly wave. As he starts to deal and lay out his carrot assortment he hears a large explosion, like the one he had heard in the forest years ago looking over at the main street he sees it, a large blonde titan running this way, in a panic the vendor screams and runs away, however years of survey core training and experience had hardened him to them, he quickly starts to run to the nearby church for safety.
When he got to the door he was annoyed at the man who denied him entry, he tried to explain the threat but the man was not budging, he then heard the terrifying giant footsteps of the titan, he didn't even think of looking over and burst foreword back to the venders stables to hide from the titan, when he had got there he saw the titan looking down the street this terrified him but his terror was short lived when out of nowhere another titan blasts straight into the church.
Heinz now found himself underneath a large boulder that was once the church wall, still hearing the commotion and noise in the background his eyes started to become heavy, and his old tough body began to shut down due to over excessive blood lose.
Heinz died that day, forgotten, non-important and battle worn, he never told anyone of his experience in the woods and later in life his son will die to by the hands, indirectly, of titan shifters.
