Erwin still looks like a kid who was trying to make sense of the birds and the bees. Commander Shadis on the other hand recovered a bit. He was the one who answered my questions. "Those giants are called Titans. They prey on humans and they live here, beyond the walls. To survive, us humans built the Walls which protects us from those beasts." He explained. All right. It still doesn't make much sense, but I think this is better than before.

"All right. So, you call them titans because of their size, right? They're not Titans from Greek mythology? Because I know for a fact that a certain one had a habit of eating others." As I expected (kind of), they only looked confused. They didn't even laugh at my little joke. Uh, you know, because Kronos ate his children? Okay, so you're not laughing too. Well sorry, I'm a Greek myth geek!

"You really don't know?" Erwin asked. Seriously, is it really farfetched for someone to not know about these titans? But so far, I can tell that for this men's world, that is hella impossible. Hmmm, world? What the fuck? Could this be? Is it even possible?

I guess the look of total confusion on my face answered Erwin's question, which prompted him to ask another one. "Where are you from? And how did you get here?" Okay, so those are two questions, but that's beside the point.

"San Diego. And I literally woke up here." And nope, that's not really where I'm from. Honestly, I gave them a fake name, don't expect me to give them a single fact about myself. Now it's their turn to give confused looks. I was kind of expecting it to be this way, but this is still … well, sad.

The truth of my situation dawned on the three of us right there and then. The men exchanged a look of, understanding? "Where ever you're from, Andi Frost, is a place without titans. Am I right?" Inquired the Commander, to which I answered honestly. "Yes. There is nothing supernatural in my world. As far as I know. But, yeah. Giants or Titans, or whatever that is does not exist from where I'm from."

After that, Erwin excused himself. "I'm afraid we'd have to take you with us. Maybe your origin holds answers to this nightmare of ours." Commander Shadis told me. Honestly, I would have asked them to take me inside the "walls" that they've been talking about. There is just no way that I'd survive out here with the Titans.

Erwin then came back with a brown bag. "Here. You better change to this. That horned horse on your clothes will catch everyone's attention. It won't be good if that happen." "Horned horse? It's a unicorn." I pouted, to which Erwin gave me a bewildered smile. Methinks he found me entertaining.

Turns out, the clothes that Erwin gave me were a set of uniform, just like his. I have no choice but to wear it, as well as the knee-high boots. This makes me wonder if they always bring extra sets of uniform, or if Erwin took this from a body. On second thought, I'd rather not know and elected to just stop thinking about it. After changing (in the middle of some trees. I hate this place.), Erwin approached me, "this, is just a precaution." And handcuffed me! "Seriously? Is this really necessary?" I asked, but being cooperative all the way. Last thing I need is to seem hostile. But being handcuffed is annoying and scary, this definitely won't be a fetish of mine.

The ugly, green cape was able to cover my cuffed hands. And since I can't use my hands, I had to ride with Erwin back to the Walls. I sat in front of him, caged by his arms as he held on the reins. I am getting the feeling that he and Shadis think I'm somehow dangerous. I better be careful if I want to stay alive. Anyways, you might wonder how on earth am I calm and still sane after concluding that I am magically in some other world? First off, I am not calm. I am a jumble of emotions and confusion is winning, fear coming in second. But I still have the hope that this might just be a dream. Now if it's any of these possibilities, or even if I'm being pranked, what better way to deal with it than just going along?

It might be hard to swallow, but this is what's happening to me right now. Freaking out won't help me at all. Especially here in the habitat of those oversized-naked things. I'll have time to freak out later – I hope.

"Does this mean you're taking me back as a prisoner?" I asked my personal guard, Erwin. I could feel him breathing behind me. He's that close! If he wasn't holding on to the reins, it feels like he's kind of hugging me, and I can't help but blush. Good thing my hood was up, and there is no way for Erwin to see me. "It depends on how you'll act and answer our questions later." "I thought you interrogated me already." He laughed softly. And no, it wasn't a sweet laugh, at least to my ears it was pretty condescending.

The journey back was action packed. We run into a few more titans, and more soldiers became Titan food. It was gross and scary. And those two words doesn't really give justice to the event. And there is no way you'd get used to it.

"Wow! I didn't imagine the "walls" you keep on talking about to be this huge!" Exclaimed little amused me. We are still far from the walls, but I can already see how huge it is. Now I'm getting a clearer idea. It's like this "walled city" is a whole country. Somehow like Troy (Another Greek mythology reference).

"It's 50 meters high. And there are three main walls. That one you're seeing – the outer wall – is called Wall Maria. The next one is Wall Rose. The last and inner wall is Wall Sina." My tour guide Erwin explained.

"That's amazing! How did you build it?" Ever since I saw Mulan, the Great Wall of China has always amazed me. It was built by hand and simple tools, but it still stands. And these walls definitely caught my attention. "We didn't. Our ancestors built it 100 years ago." "Okay, a hundred years ago, but how did they do it? And how many people were there? And how long did it take them?"

Erwin took a deep breath before answering my barrage of questions. "We don't know. History of our land has always been unclear, especially those of the walls." "Oh." Well that's disappointing. But the gears in my head just won't stop running.

By the time we actually reached the walls, I had formed several theories on how the people were able to build the walls. And it goes from "millions of slaves" to "probably magic." And boy, I think even the biggest Titan I saw today would feel puny standing beside this big ass walls. On a closer inspection, the wall doesn't seem to be a perfect circle, because we're entering a gate of a circular wall that juts out from the bigger wall.

Inside the wall was a regular village. Old school village, really. I'd expected it to be something like a military base, where everyone learns how to kill titans once they turned 10. But no, it was more like a medieval-ish festival. And the people weren't friendly at all. They welcomed us with screams of disappointment. I couldn't care less so I just tried my best to tune them out.

A couple more hours and we're finally at what I assume is the base. It was really basic. No tanks or warplanes. It actually looks more like a castle, really. And right after getting off the horse, Erwin practically dragged me off to who knows where. "Hey! Take it easy, I have way shorter legs than yours.

He turned to me and gave me an apologetic look, "sorry. But it's better if no one sees you. I expect the Commander will go straight there." "Hold on, Erwin. Are you two going to kill? What the hell, man?" "No!" He yelled, making the other soldiers around us look and turn their heads. Nice job, eyebrows. Clearing his throat, he continued walking and dragging me.

If you're wondering, did I believe him when he said he won't kill me? Well, yes. I know it's crazy, but this day is full of craziness that I just seem to believe whatever and whomever. If I try to logically think about the possibility of everything that's happening, I would go crazy!

We soon reached our destination, and judging by the exterior, we are actually heading to some kind of office. Good thing I was right. Inside the room was a big desk with stack of papers, a couple of chairs and a couch. It was just a basic office. And there were no electronics everywhere.

Erwin guided me to seat in front of the desk, he took the seat across me. Then I guess we wait for the Commander. Erwin smiled at me. It was just an innocent and sincere smile.

"Please don't be scared. We just need to ask you more questions." He said, breaking the silence.

"I won't be scared if you let my hands loose."

"That, I can't do. For all we know, you might be a threat."

"Fair enough. But that still means you might kill me." Before he could answer though, the door opened and in comes Commander Shadis. He looked so gloomy, which is understandable as we just came back from a massacre.

When Shadis entered, Erwin stood and pounded his chest with his right hand. I'm guessing that's their salute?

Sitting on his big chair, Shadis asked me the question I've been dreading to hear. "Miss Andi Frost, I will go straight to the point. Are you a friend or a foe?"
