The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack
Beyond the castle walls lies a hunter killing his prey
With a surging killer impulse scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet
With a crimson arrow
Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won't let it escape
Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won't let it escape
He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping
He'll release it, time and time again, until his target draws its last breath
Attack on the titans.
The boy from back then will soon take up the sword.
Who only laments his powerlessness won't be able to change anything.
The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword.
Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.
Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate.
Ones that could hope to change anything
Are ones who could bear to abandon anything
Without bearing any risk at all, how could you hope to attain anything…?
The justice imposed on us signals the attack
Deprived of his horizon, Eren yearns for the world's freedom
With relentless killer impulse assailing his body
What brings death to twilight is
An arrow from Hell
Shingeki no Kyojin OP 1/Guren no Yumiya/Eren's Theme Song
Carrying steel blades in our hands, we sing a song of victory, bearing the wings of freedom upon our backs
Clenching our resolve to our hearts, we tear through the spiral of foolishness
Dancing through azure—
Flügel der Freiheit!
The bird broke through its shell to soar through the skies, not to crawl on the ground without dignity, right?
And what are your wings for? Isn't the sky within your cage too narrow for you?
Freedom and death. They both are twins.
Freedom or death?
Our friend is one!
The hidden truth is our cue to shock
Their locked depths in darkness and the titans who dwell on the surface in light
Our previous assumptions crumbled away, and though we bear uncertainty in our hearts
We march on towards "freedom" regardless!
Left path? Right path? Well, which one's the way?
The friend? The enemy? Mankind, which one are you?
Holding the will to fight in our hands, we sing of hope, bearing the horizon of freedom upon our backs
Harboring in our hearts the chains that connect the world, we play a song of what lies behind possibility
Dance through azure—
Wings of Freedom!
Shingeki no Kyojin OP 2/Jiyuu no Tsubasa/Levi's Theme Song
In this beautiful cruel world,
We merely keep on begging death to wait a little longer…
Ah, no different from the flightless weathercock,
We will not understand
Whether truths are prettier than lies.
If only we were songs,
We would be able to sail at full speed in the wind,
And bring hope without fail
To someone out there.
In this beautiful cruel world,
We merely keep on asking 'why' we're alive and living…
Ah, with this strength and this weakness,
If we no longer possess any rationality,
Just what are we protecting?
Shingeki no Kyojin ED 2/Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai/Mikasa's Theme
We hopefully can understand it someday
We are walking to the other side of the horizon
We hopefully can understand it someday
We go with firm steps
Every living being dies someday
Whether we are ready to die or not
That day will come surely
Is that an angel which flew down from the twilight sky?
Is that the devil which crawled out from the crevice?
Tears, anger, compassion, cruelty.
Peace, chaos, faith, betrayal.
We will fight against our fate
We must not give in to our fate.
Shingeki no Kyojin OST 7/Vogel Im Käfig/Aisa's Theme
When all is lost and everything is futile,
Hope is the last thing you can hold on to.
The smallest actions have the biggest consequences.
But is hope our friend? Or our enemy?
Is hope merely a dream
Or is it what drives us to fight?
Does hope further us from reality
Or is it what pushes us forward?
Shingeki no Kyojin FanFiction/Pandora's Jar/Faye
Well, hate me for saying this but Shingeki unfortunately, didn't live up to the hype I expected it to be. It's too bad because the concept is great, but I really believe a 'monthly' serialization is the worst thing the author can do, especially when there are so many cliffhangers.
Regardless, I absolutely loved Levi even before I saw the show, and thus this FanFiction was born!
About the story:
To be completely honest with you, I don't exactly have a 'plot' to this story. It's basically a memoir, but it is partially mystery because there are some OC characters in which I don't reveal their fates.
The real problem is, Levi's spinoff story debuts in November, and it is up to that story to determine if I've screwed everything up in the storyline or not. If this FanFic becomes a hit, however, I'll just ignore the original spinoff.
I know there's a ton of PetraxLevi shippers out there... I liked Petra as well but with her death, there's not much to do (not that I'm saying Faye didn't die or anything).
Speaking of Faye, how I thought of Pandora and hope is beyond me, but hope and faith seems to be pretty big concepts in Shingeki so I used them. Pandora Faye Gomez is the character's full name, with Faye being a nickname. Gomez is of Spanish descent but with her blonde hair and grey eyes, I think we can cross that off easily.
Of course, the Greek mythology and the Iliad/Odyssey concept also comes from this.
AS FOR UPDATES:
Shingeki is a really hard story to write about, so my best guess is this FanFiction will be updated the least frequently out of all my other projects, unless it becomes a HUGE hit. Then I'll leave my other stories aside and satisfy y'all with new chapters!
Timeline:
So like what I've said, it's basically a memoir. For the time being, I'm going to have Faye's older sister, Aisa, talk about Faye and Levi's relationship, but there are parts she didn't see, and I'll just add that with a side note saying something like: Aisa never witnessed this! Etc.
Editors and Beta Readers:
OKAY. I've gotten a ton of inquiries for these in the past, and sometimes it's pretty embarrassing when there are messages like: I think you're a great young writer, but if you can get an editor to edit some of these... then I think I'd enjoy the story a lot more...
To be honest, it's great people are looking out for me and I'm really thankful that there are those who expect me to evolve, but the thing is, I am really insecure about my writing. I used to change my username once every 2 weeks so I could throw people off (I lost a lot of reviewers this way, but devoted ones searched me up).
In conclusion, I do not need an editor or a Beta-Reader, however, if there are grammatical errors or punctuation problems, etc, please do not hesitate to tell me! (It'd be nicer if you PM me those though, so my review pages won't be so littered with 'it's 'are', not 'is'', 'you missed a comma there', etc.
I don't mind a bit of criticism, but I'm not too open for them, nor am I open for suggestions. The reasons are the same as Eiichiro Oda-sensei's, as well as the fact that these stories are my pride and joy. I hope you respect my thoughts!
Also, I tend to dislike flamers. Puh-leaze!
Mary Sue Detectors:
Did you know: titans like devouring Mary-Sue detectors and flamers more than anything? Egad!
Main point is, if you don't like the story, you don't have to read it. No need to comment either, it'll save my time and yours.
Honestly.
Fans:
Which leads us to our final topic… fans!
You guys are the best! The greatest! The awesomest! SAIKO! (Bakuman pun *shot*)
Honestly, you people are the ones who keep on pushing me forwards. I do go on hiatus often, but I continue writing because I KNOW people like you will read it, watch the story/author/review/etc. It really feels amazing to be able to write a story not only for myself, but for other people as well.
So without further ado, ladies and gentleman, your Shingeki OC story, Pandora's Jar.
