Hi! I hope you'll enjoy this story. Please tell me what you think of it.

The story will not start inside the walls (as you'll see). I do not own Attack on Titan/ Shingeki no Kyojin.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I am Patricia Erez.

"Please wait in here. The doctor will come soon."

I live on the Southern Continent.

"Miss Erez?" "Yes. That's me." "I am sorry that doctor Ragis is unable to come himself. He has been working too hard and is currently incapable to speak with you."

I am working for the SC air-force. (A/N: SC is short for Southern Continent.) I am the Captain of the Blue Formation or Blue-Squad.

"That is alright. I know how important this project is to him."

I was born on April the 2nd 821. Since it's the 5th of February 849 I will be celebrating my 28th birthday this year.

"Still, it does not serve as excuse for not seeing to one of his oldest patients."

I am called "the hero of humanity". Since there isn't a man who's better than me I don't care whether they call me hero or heroine. I believe that gendering is important sometimes, not always but sometimes.

"You wanted to tell me the test results."

I have been ill since I was a child. It's inherited. My father had the same illness.

"Yes, of course." The young physician took a deep breath. "Miss Erez, we are now sure that your illness is terminal. We have medications to prevent the symptoms from showing. We even have medications to prolong your live a bit. But I am afraid that you will die in one or two years, three at most."

I am not crying. I am not breaking down. I've known my fate since my dad died. I almost was a female version of him. I simply asked: "Why?"

"Some years ago scientists have found the code of life. They call it DNA. Some parts of the code are used to, for example, determinate your hair color. Then there are blank spaces too. Until now the scientists do not know what they do or whether they have a function at all. It appears that you posses more blank spaces than other humans, which impairs the regeneration process of the cells."

"I see. Thank you for your time doctor. Do you think you could give me a prescription for these medications you mentioned? Or might you have some with you?" "I have both." He handed me a bag. "In here is the medication for February, the explanation how to use them and the prescriptions. I will make sure that you get another appointment with doctor Ragis." "Thank you doctor." I bowed and walked you.

I won't tell my squad about this right now. I don't need them worrying about me now since we still have to worry about the new member.

I am Patricia Erez. I am airborn. Thus I live to fly and I can read the wind. Thus I will not live more than three years. Thus I have to realize my dreams before then. I have a lot to do and to experience.

So let's get to it!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.

I chose to write airborne wrong because 'airborne' means 'flying' or 'to be in the air' (eg. dust-particles). My 'airborn' is supposed to be a term for people who are natural pilots (natural like breathing). It is more than talent and more than instinct. I cut the 'borne' to 'born' to emphasise that people are born with this mindset and ability.
