Chapter 1 The Sundered World

There was bustling construction outside of a building. As if they were preparing for something big. But this isn't where our story begins. Our story, begins inside of an office inside that said building. Two men are in the room. One focused on the sight outside the window. He was tall, muscular built, had shaggy sandy blonde hair and a mustache. The other, looked to be tall as well. He had blonde hair that was styled in an undercut and very noticeable eyebrows. He was focused on what looks to be a very strategic battle formation. The one by the window decides to speak.

"We're thirty days out from an expedition to set up a logistics base beyond the wall. And now you're saying we're going to have a crop of green recruits along for the ride."

The other man still focused on aligning the "formation" replies.

"Assuming any sign up, yes."

"Not to be a naysayer, but doesn't that seem rash to you? Honestly what are their odds?

The man's facial expression never changed.

"Our custody of Eren is conditional upon the results of this mission. Now, the first order of business is persuading the brass we have him under control, that he's an asset not a threat. The last thing we want is for the Military Police to throw in their lot. Or someone else."

The other man's eyes lowered.

"And you don't want to give me a straight answer. Is that it?"

The blonde man slowly turned to face the other. The expression on his face was unreadable.

"Your nose is as sharp as ever. Not bad."

"Yeah, well. Not as sharp as yours on a good day."

"You'll have the facts soon enough."

With that the blonde turned back around and once again was focused on his planning. Things seemed to be back to normal. There was no more tension in the room with the two men. With all of the construction just outside the window going on they didn't thing twice whenever they heard a loud bang. Something was only brought up when a soldier came bursting through the door.

"Commander Erwin, sir. Squad Leader Mike, sir. There is a situation. Something fell out of the sky and created this huge crater in front of the building."

The two men got up and quickly made their way outside. Smoke was billowing from the crater. They slowly made their way to the front ushering people to step back along the way. By the time they finally got to the front the smoke was slowly starting to clear there was one thing made evident. Inside this crater, was a human girl. Commander Erwin slowly made his way down into the crater. The first thing he done was held his finger to the girl's neck. She had a pulse. He slowly picked her up bridal style and walked through the crowd, Mike not far behind.

"What just happened Erwin?"

"I'm not sure. But we need to keep this as quite as possible. Mike, calm down the others and then send a rider out to Levi. Tell him and his squad to return tonight."

"Yes, sir!"

With that Mike left Erwin with the girl. Once they had arrived at his chambers he slowly placed her down on the bed, checking her over for injuries. When he had found none, he tucked the young girl in and just observed her. She had long blonde hair. She wasn't average weight wise. By no means was the girl overly obese just slightly overweight. She looked to be at least Levi's height. Erwin slowly walked away and returned to his desk in the other room. Just who was this girl? He had no idea. But what was plainly obvious was that she was not from here. Her strange clothing gave him that impression. That arose an even bigger question for the commander. Was this girl a threat to humanity or could she be trusted?

"The rider should be reaching Levi's location shortly. Has the girl woke yet?"

"Not yet. So many strange things are happening as of late. First we find out that Eren is a titan shifter, then this girl appears out of the sky. Makes you wonder exactly what is going on?"

"Got that right."

An ear piercing scream brought them out of their curious stupor and they ran into Erwin's room to see the girl sitting straight up on the bed with a look of pure terror in her eyes. Erwin slowly approached her.

"Hello there. Can you tell me your name?"

She looked up at him and it was then that he saw her blue eyes. They were as blue as his own. The terror was still present in her eyes but it slowly faded away.

"My name is Addelyne."

"Alright Addelyne. My name is Erwin, and this is my comrade Mike. Do you mind if I was you a few questions?"

She slightly nodded her head and he began to ask her questions. However, to the commander's disappointment she couldn't answer any of them. She had no memory prior to waking up in his office. She could not even remember her own last name. Tears of frustration flew from the girl's eyes. She was so angry with herself that she couldn't remember anything. It was as if she was a stranger to herself. Later that night Levi arrived with his party and was informed on the situation. It was decided that the girl would stay in Erwin's chambers and that they would keep this as quite as possible to avoid conflict with the Military Police. Erwin walked into his chambers to see that the girl had changed clothing. She looked towards me and our eyes made contact.

"The one named Hange gave me a change of clothes. It was so nice of her! Look I'm sorry I wasn't able to answer your questions. Just know that if I could remember I would answer them willingly."

He looked at the young girl with a slightly smile.

"I know that you would. I will sleep on the couch. The bed is yours. Get some rest. I have some matters to discuss with you in the morning."

The girl went to protest but he had already walked out of the room. So without further ado the young girl crawled into the commanders bed. She noted of its soft warmth and she could smell his cologne on the sheets. Her cheeks turned red with a slight blush. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
