HEY! Flux here... XD I'm starting this new story, kind of an experiment, I don't even know. But if you guys like it please leave a review or PM me anything you want to happen? Criticise me all ye like! XD
This story is pretty much an adapted rewrite of the original storyline with some side-plots and an OC or two BUT will also contain some absolutely random sh*t and a lot of my fav SnK Ships! (including Annie x Mikasa. Eren x Levi. and a bit of OC x Hanji flirts XD)
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Attack on Titan, only OCs yada yada.
ALSO I haven't completely read the manga yet, only watched the anime and read the corresponding chapters. So apologies if my thinking is a bit off!
NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
The year was 845, the day was what some could describe as blissful. The world remained peaceful, as the sun had risen high in the sky, lighting every spot in Shiganshina. Neighbours chatted, merchants and stall runners bragged to sell their goods, children played, the sounds of their laughter echoing through the streets. To them, it was just another sunny day within the walls. To Cassius, it was hell.
The boy was the son of the worst criminal known to man - the only human to be exiled to life outside the walls - the infamous shadow killer, Lee Fischer. German by heritage, the man was a cold-blooded murderer, roaming the streets within the walls at night, dragging away innocent passers-by and brutally beating them, almost to death, only to spare them to pull their organs out while they were fully conscious. The criminal was thrown out and forcefully sentenced to the outskirts of Wall Maria, his only company being his accomplice and pregnant wife - Daniella Schatten-Dämon. The woman gave birth to her child outside the walls, successfully protecting the newborn for four years; her final moments were being captured on the run from titans. The boy's mother was gifted with a peculiar and unknown ability, this enabling Cassius to remain the only known survivor to live outside the walls. He chose to spare himself if he ever emerged within the walls, adopting his mother's maiden name rather than that of a well known murderer. Cassius Schatten-Dämon spent his entire life in terror, running from titans in fear of losing his young life. Though today was the day his luck began...
A gentle breeze blew through thick, hickory-brown hair as a young boy lay asleep against a tree. The wind teasing his chocolate locks, a quick gasp of air and he awoke, his eyes flashing open. Tears were unknowingly forming in the corners of his eyes. A girl of the same age was looking over him, her black hair flowing with the breeze and her scarf drooping, the red fabric gently stroking the boy's shirt.
"Mikasa...?" Eren spoke as he sat up from his position.
"We should get back." She quietly ordered as she stood up from her space next to Eren.
"It's like the dream I was having went on forever..." Eren insisted, bringing his arm up to rub the sleep from his eyes. Mikasa reached for and picked up her collection of firewood, positioning the carrier on her back.
"Eren... Have you been crying?"
A young Eren Jaeger, Armin Arlert and Mikasa Ackerman stood in awe as an enormous titan towered above the wall of Shiganshina, skin completely missing and terrifying the district's citizens to the core. It's leg took a mighty swing backwards, gathering momentum as it's foot swung back and connected with the gate of the Shiganshina district, demolishing it completely and leaving nothing but a gaping hole in the wall behind. Huge chunks of rock flew all over, landing on and crushing houses beneath them and mangling any people to get in their way. Titans immediately began to flood in through the breach, every person that crowded around instantly sprinted away, fearing for their lives. Eren and Mikasa managed to shake off the shock, removing their hands from shielding their ears, and ran in the direction of their house. The children sprinted for the house, Eren crying out as he rounded the corner only to see his house destroyed, his mother crushed under the house and piece of wall. The two children heaved with all their strength, tears welling up in the sides of their eyes as they attempted to free Eren's mother.
After Mr. Hannes arrived, she convinced him to take the children and flee the scene, reluctantly leaving Carla Jaeger to the mercy of a titan. Little did anyone know, a small boy the age of Eren was cautiously weaving his way in and out of the houses, hiding at all costs from the titans. The boy boarded the ship to flee Shiganshina just as the Armoured Titan charged towards the gate connecting the district to the rest of Wall Maria. The speeding titan exploded through the wall, instantly killing anyone in it's path. The Shiganshina district was only known to Cassius for a few moments but the terror and devastation still brought the young boy to tears, the images in front of him causing his light-tanned skin to raise into goose-bumps.
