Chapter 4: " Start of year 850 "
3 years passed so far. And the trainees of the batch 104 have finally graduated and some are finally capable of killing a titan.
But on behalf of that. Meanwhile in Fallen town ' Shiganshina ' It seemed that there was one individual who had far more experience than those of the others.
A girl who was wearing a cloak which hid her face was busy running from roof-to-roof in different houses. She was also carrying a sword of some sort which she practically used for surviving in the said town.
Her name was. " Yui "
" Gyaah!. This freaken sucks, How come abnormal titans have come to this forsaken town? "
I jump from almost destroyed roofs. I was being chased by an abnormal 10 meter class titan, Heck the bastard jumps from one place to another. This ' retards ' are the reason why I'm still not able to get of this run-down town.
Well Who knows. There might be more of these things outside of Shiganshina. But It's not like I'll stay here forever.
As I jump from another roof. The abnormal titan suddenly( suprisingly ) was infront of me. Opening it's mouth towards me. Well they're also quite intelligent I see. Damn abnormals.
I grabbed something from my side pocket. It was gunpowder. I found an abundant source of it in a random house. I threw the sachet quickly and I prepared the fire by lighting a match. I stopped in my tracks and threw the now lighted match.
Since it was an inch away from me. It tried to bite my head of but then it felt the fire arising from it's mouth. The fire which was made bigger by the heat inside it.
" This is what you get for being an asshole. " I run to an opposite direction as the titans head goes ' KABOOM '
Hahahaha good for you. I've used that gunpowder countless of times, And hey. It's saved my butt for countless of times as well.
While walking on the roofs. I gaze at the far horizon, That's odd. There are no more titans around the town. There's something happening perhaps in the north that's attracting these things.
But it's still risky. I'll probably observe more within one month, I went down the roof and headed for the ground. There were some skeletons all over the place. I haven't seen any human since let's see..., Four and a half years. And ever since. I'm the last human standing here in this place.
As I walk slowly I enter some random house. I haven't enter all houses, But I remember Eren's house. There was a basement still standing. I think I was able to enter it or not, I have no memory of that day. I don't know why. Something probably happened.
But setting that aside, I look inside the house. Hmm, There were awfully tons of books scattered. I checked it. Wait, The books are covering something.
As I remove all the books. There was a trapdoor, Wait. It must have been left ontouched for the last five years. Which means, There might be human in there!
I open the trapdoor. There were lights below, It was a tunnel. My eyes grew big. Wait before that. I must bring supplies with me. Who knows what's in there for me.
As I packed all my stuff. I entered the tunnel slowly, It was lighted by stones not torches, Glowing stones.
I admired it's beauty. There in the middle was a map, A Map! This tunnel leads to somewhere. Staring at the map. I was speechless.
This tunnel leads to so many towns. And the closest one yet is Trost. I've finally found it.
Wait a second. These stones. They are much alike with the gem in my necklace. My father must have been here.
I continue walking bringing the map with me. There were dry traces of blood. Hmm, I grabbed my sword. As I continued walking I see six skeletons in the form of an...embrace? There on the ground was a letter.
" To anyone who has found this tunnel, This tunnel actually lead to different towns. It was passed down from our ancestors who first built the great wall. This is probably the end for us. We lack food supply, And we've all grown weak. We pray for your success whomever you are to reach the nearest town. ' Trost ' Goodbye and we hope you pray for us as well. We are a family. "
It was scribbled with blood. I see, Then. I wil surely pray for you as well. I left the letter on the ground and proceeded in walking.
A tunnel made for escaping. Who would have thought. If everybody knew of this. Then surely, Nobody would have had to face this like I did. I looked at the map once again. I was at still far away.
A day has passed. And as the map says, I was near already. While travelling. I also found gems on the ground so I had tons of them but none like the gem in my necklace.
As I walk I see something in the side wall. What in the?
There in the wall was some kind of unknown language. As I looked at it more for some reason I was able to read it. What the heck is happening?There it read
" The chosen people will one day come to slay the monsters. And soon, Peace shall soon come along for those who triumph. The time will come for mankind to stand forth. "
What the. How is it possible that I was able to read it? Monster,You mean the titans?
A prophecy of some sort. I write it down in my journal and I proceeded to walk.
There it is! Here where I stand was the ladder towards Trost. I climb it with much enthusiasm.
As I open the trap door it was led to a house. Yes the map was right. As I came out. No this can't be!
There were some bodies on the ground. They were probably cadets of the people who kill titans.
Then a hand was right in front of me. Shit! a 13 meter class titan. I ran as fast as I can but my efforts were useless.
It grabbed me by the cloak. As I was being brought up I thought of a strategy. I grabbed my knives and threw them at it's eyes hard as I reach to an eye level. I climb up to it's arm and unto it's neck.
I grab my sharpened sword and quickly inflicted a deep cutted flesh unto it's neck. It's flesh was on the ground and slowly the titan fell.
I grabbed my knives on the now dried up carcass. I looked at the wall near me. More titans lined up together. The other titan noticed me and began walking towards me. It was a 15 meter class. I ran faster.
" Commander Pixis, A 15 meter class titan is chasing somebody. A civilian...who is running at a not normal pretty fast pace. " a random cadet pointed out.
Pixis just stared at the hooded figure. It would be too risky for them to send somebody to save that person. He himself knew the risks and sacrifices. And this was not worth it.
" I'm not giving any orders. " Pixis said straightly looking below at the titans.
" Commander Pixis. As it may sound impossible, But that person just killed the titan. " The cadet once again said.
Pixis looked at the hooded figure standing on top of the titan. It was impossible, A random civilian killing a 15 meter titan. But it was right before him, Even the others seemed shocked.
" Do not give any help. That person can handle itself. " Pixis said. He had hoped to see more of that hooded person.
I was panting. It was hard to kill such a huge titan, For the first time killing a class like that. My gaze followed the men on top of the big wall. They just stared at me like I was nothing to give help to. And right now, I was pretty pissed off.
Sigh, I picked up my knives and proceeded walking. Then the feet of a 5 meter class titan filled my vision. I was pretty angry and my body just acted on it's own. I sliced it's other foot. Actually I never knew I could do that. The titan fell face first on the ground. I ran up to it's neck and cutted it's necks flesh.
I looked up to see a green smoke in the sky. It symbolized something for sure. As I looked above at the wall. The people were rejoicing. And I'm here like. " Hey, Would you just atleast help me get up on that freaken wall? "
And no. They did not help me, And right now I was being chased by the other titans. About two of them. And 10 meter classes at that.
Good thing the other titans aren't looking at me. Only these two retards are, Somebody please just help me. I'm getting tired of seeing this ' things '
Just then I felt somebody grab me by the waist. It was a guy who killed the two titans chasing after me. As I looked closer. He had a pretty calm demeanor. And his face was handsome for me. Since hey, I haven't seen a guy for at least four and half years.
He was using the three dimensional manuever gear. And his usage of it was perfect. I looked at the back there were more of them.
" Are you injured? " He asked.
I answered him with a " No "
" Well that's good. " He trailed off.
His voice was clear and manly. But setting aside the girly thoughts that have been revived in me. He brings me to the wall. And leaves.
I look at the people who were looking at me. Yet I knew they can't see my face, Them an old man walks infront of me.
" What is your name hooded one? " He asks.
Why should I tell you? You didn't help me one bit.
" Tell me how did you kill that titan? " He asks once again.
I sliced the flesh at the base of it's neck. I answered quite pissed off.
" Was that you first time? " He asks the third time.
No. And it's never gonna be my last. I looked at him eye-to-eye.
" I see I'll let you rest first then I'll ask you questions. " he says lastly.
Well about time. I follow the person he entrusted to guide me. And soon we left.
" That person, She's a girl. And from the looks of it, She's hiding something. She even knows the titans weakest spot. She's very strong as if she's been slaying titans for the rest of her life. Just who are you? " Pixis asks himself.
