"Its time for the 67th recon mission outside the walls! OPEN THE GATE!" Commander Erwin called as the scouts prepared themselves to exit the safety of the walls. Levi was more towards the back of the squad in a small detachment of scouts hand picked by the king himself though Levi thought they were all 'Arrogant fools.'
They kicked off and their horses bounded forward and the gate was sealed shut after them.
There were very few scouts going on this mission and as they rode through Titan country it was clear to them all that it was NOT a good idea.
"15 METER ABNORMAL!" Retu from the west rank called, bug he was just a little too late. Its giant foot crashed down into the middle of the pack, scattering the horses and sending some flying. "Keep going!" Erwin ordered, not even phased by the abnormal on their heels.
"You're leading all of us to our deaths!" the corporal called and when he received no response he cursed. "This mission will not stop untill the goal has been accomplished."
"And what exactly is that goal!?"
"To find th-" He was cut off as a second third and fourth abnormal bounded towards them, all the scouts tugged on the reins just in time dodging the rampage and splitting up.
Levi was more than lost. He had been cut off from the rest whilst being pursued by a Titan. He reached quickly to his flare gun and clicked the black smoke into place, held it above his head and- CLICK.
Nothing happened. "Its not working, at a time like this!?" He yelled to himself, chucking it aside, "useless piece of junk."
He broke the tree line and raced across a grassy plain. The abnormal that had been pursuing him had stopped to a grinding halt at the edge of the forest.
That was wierd, even for an abnormal he thought to himself, exhaling softly.
He didn't see it untill it was right on top of him. A wall. 60 meters high built of a strange grey brick. Levi pulled on the reins and his horse came to a halt before an iron gate.
Instead of the gate opening two figures dropped from above,standing either side of the corporal.
"What do you make of this, a spy?" the first said and was greeted by a confused expression from Levi.
"Dunno." The second said, poking Levi with a stick, "Dismount." He did so much to his annoyance. "Yeah, look at that crest, he's a green bird allright."
"So what do we do with him?"
"The king wont want rabble. What about the mines?"
"Yeah, that sounds good." A small metal object collided with Levis head and darkness claimed him.
-A little while later-
"Hello, are you awake yet?" Levis body felt heavy, like he was floating in water. He didn't want to move. He just wanted to sleep. "They've drugged you...this will help. " Then suddenly a pitcher of water was thrown over him and he was wide awake, coughing and spluttering at the sudden cold.
He glared up at the girl holding a jug and grinning down at him. " I would thank you for that but, WHERE THE HELL AM I!?" He yelled.
"You don't know? Why, you're in the mines of Gelida-Terram."
