Cecelia looked onward and spoke out: "Axel? What are you doing here? I'm not complaining. i'm just surprised." Axel chuckled and replied: "If you really need to know what's up, I was sent here to help you out. Besides, your childhood friend who sees you as a sister missed you already. You know what I mean?" Levi was so confused at this point. As for Cecelia, she internally starts to panic despite the cam and collected expression. That's because no one in this world or its timeline would believe that magic really exists. In this world, it's all of science and the nightmare that these creatures called the Titans would inflict upon humanity. She cleared her throat a bit and asked a question: "Axel? Could I talk to you alone after training?" Levi stated as he walked forward: "Not so fast. As your superior officer, there will be no secrets hidden from me. So, I demand that you tell me everything from the very beginning. How could I trust you if you can't be open about what's going on here?" Cecelia didn't want to look like a lunatic, but there's no way around Levi when and if he becomes this serious. With little time that's left before the second half of the training, she sits in front of Levi as Axel is in between. She looked into his eyes of grey-blue and said this: "Captain Levi...this is going to make me sound as if I'm a lunatic, especially with what I'm about to tell you. But where I came from is not from this world or its timeline. Where I came from...it involves of magic and things of the supernatural. As of what I am...it's true that I am a human being. But I'm one of the many Keyblade Masters to protect even history with the rights to even change some things in the past to bring forth a brighter future. My mission is to track down a foe that I'm currently pursuing about seven years ago and to restore the lives and hope of mankind." Levi surprisingly looks rather calm with his arms folded in. His silence seemed to give her the permission to continue and she started to do so: "As of why I'm chosen for this assignment, that's because the magic that I possess can bring in one of two effects. The targets I would cast upon will either be reformed back into their pure selves or to be passed on into the heavens...hence of why I'm called the Redemption Keyblade Master. Axel is recently a Keyblade Master, but that might be beside the point. The main focus is that you now know the basic information." Levi opened his mouth for a question that came up in his mind: "...are your parents those Keyblade Masters that you explained yourself to be?" She responded when looking into his gaze: "My mother was the former master of the Redemption Keyblade, but she passed her weapon onto me. As for my father, he fights like a knight along her side."
Levi became silent once again. He's not sure what to think as there isn't any past evidence to support the fact of magic being real. However, he can tell that she's not lying despite sounding like she might be the insane person in this case. He was in his thoughts later at that time as the day goes on. As the sun is setting down, Cecelia was on her way to take a shower before dinner. But this is when she sees a bright light in a form of a large door lighting up before her. She shielded her eyes with her right hand as she has no idea who is walking out of that door. But as the light faded, she lightly gasped in shock. It was her childhood friend Rika who is half of a human being and half of a fairy. She's a seventeen-year-old girl with ice blue eyes and silver hair that reaches all the way to her behind and always kept down or in a ponytail. Her hair texture is smooth and silky as well as wavy as for her body built,she has a hourglass figure with some muscle on her due to her practicing martial arts and has tattoos of vines on her legs and arms as well as a tattoo of a snapdragon flower on her back. Cecelia said with a smile on her face: "Rika! It's been a long while. What are you doing here?" Rika giggled as she floats in the air: "Why else? I came here to help you. I figured that you might need a helping hand. And it gives me a valid excuse to he with my childhood friend and travel to other worlds with you. Tee-hee!" Cecelia is relieved that her childhood friend is here and that she's willing to help. However, she has a feeling that someone was watching them or planning on doing something evil. That evening, Rika is in Cecelia's bedroom to be presentable to every cadet as well as Levi himself. Rika huffed a bit after she got out of the shower, "This is just great. I don't know what we're going to wear at the Dining Hall tonight. On the one hand, at least I'm clean and fresh." Cecelia giggled with a smile after brushing her hair: "Not to worry. I got this one handled." With the snap of her fingers, a flash of white light has come and gone in a matter of a second. This is when Rika is dressed in a spaghetti-strap ruffled A-line dress with a flowing skirt in spring's light green color and a pair of matching shoes with the straps around the ankles. For Cecelia, she wears a strapless white dress with a slit on the left side of it to show off a bit of skin from her left leg. It doesn't have much of sparkles, so it wouldn't really stand out too much. Despite wearing a white jewelry choker with a gem of light-blue and silver in the mix, the dress didn't hide away the top of her breasts as well as the fullness and shape. She's even wearing a pair of low-heel shoes of light blue and white stockings for the legs.
In the Dining Hall of the headquarters belonging to the Survey Corps, Levi is sipping on his cup of tea with his fingers locking around the rim of the cup as he usually do. He is still skeptical if magic is real because it only "exists" in fairy-tale books. But he couldn't see even the tiniest hint of a lie in any of Cecelia's movements or expressions as she spoke openly about it. Eren is at one of the tables hanging out with Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, and Jean Kirstein. Hanji Zoe popped out of nowhere next to Levi as she grinned: "Hey Levi! Where have you been? I bet that you have left because of something more important than training alongside the cadets, huh?" Levi answered without looking at her: "You could say that, Hanji." He starts to look around and then up at the clock as it read seven at 's when the doors opened up and Levi sees the two ladies coming inside. He got suspicious about Rika because he didn't see her before, but his eyes widened as soon as he saw Cecelia. He had to pinched himself a bit without anyone noticing because he thought that he was dreaming: that he's seeing a goddess in a form of a human being. A woman who is half of an inch shorter than him looked onward and was getting suspicious out of protectiveness for her older brother. Her name is Alexandra Ackerman as a woman with raven-black hair, light hazel-brown eyes, and a petite hourglass body figure with her Survey Corps uniform to cover the battle scars that are all over her body from countless Expeditions involving the Titans and the rival regiments. The other girl joined with Eren and his friends after grabbing her dinner. She is Abigail Yeager who is also a Titan Shifter like he is. She's currently fourteen years old, which makes her the youngest member to ever join the Scout Regiment. She has dark-brown hair and chestnut-colored eyes with a petite body frame that's surprisingly strong in the eyes of the public. Alexandra asked her older brother as she sits down next to him: "Levi? Who is that woman?" Levi answered in a flat tone while drinking his tea: "That's Cecelia. I don't know who that other girl is though." Although he sounded blunt and emotionless, he couldn't keep his eyes off from Cecelia. His cheeks aren't red as he managed to keep himself calm but his heart is racing.
As the two girls sat down with their bowl of what appears to be curry, this is when Jean drinks a bit of water before coming over. He's a young man with spiky, gray hair shaved into an undercut style, with the shaved portion being black. He has small, intense brown eyes, and is said to have the same vicious look in them as Eren does. Jean is of average height and muscular build, and has a scowl similar to Eren's but is said to have a long face. He is often seen wearing the typical uniform of the Survey Corps worn with an olive-gray button-up shirt. After overthrowing the government, his hair appears slightly longer than before. For the time being, his casual attire mostly consists of a white button-up shirt, dark pants, and a dark-brown vest. He smiled at the girls and said to them: "Good evening ladies. I never see any of you before. Do you live at another district or something?" Levi silently glared at Jean as he sips his tea. Jean continued on speaking as if he's trying to put on the charm: "One of you two looks like a really cute fairy. But you...damn it. You certainly look like a bronze goddess." Right at that moment, Levi walked over and kicked Jean right into the guts of which sent him onto the floor with his knee. Rika tries her best to stifle as soon as she noticed that every other cadet is in shock. That kick was unexpected, but no dares to question his actions. Alexandra sighed while sipping on her tea, "Why am I the only one who saw that coming a mile away?" Levi turned to look at Rika and then asked Cecelia: "Is she your friend?" Cecelia answered when looking into his eyes: "Yes Captain Levi. This is Rika and she's my childhood friend since we were kids." Levi stared emotionally at the two before speaking again, "You're sure about that? She looks like a small child while you are likely to be eighteen years old." That caused Rika to become very mad with a vein popping out from the side of her head. She was about to shout, but Cecelia stuffed her mouth with one of her own baked pastries that she would always make. Things have gotten quiet until Jean is about to pick a fight with Eren because he likes Mikasa but she would only talk to Eren. Noticing that a fight will break out, Cecelia starts to look around and found the same piano as before sing yesterday. This is when she hurried over to that spot and Rika seemed to figure out why. Before fists start to fly, the sounds of the piano keys being played can be heard. What comes out of Cecelia's mouth just calmed the atmosphere around as she was pouring out from her heart:
I'm here to show you who I am
Throw off the veil, it's finally time
There's more to me than glitz and glam
Whoa...
And now, I feel my stars align
For I had believed what I was sold
I did all the things that I was told
But all that has changed, and now I'm bold
'Cause I know
That I am only human
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
Just like the magic inside of you
Rika starts to sway side to side with her eyes closed as if listening to the song. Levi seemed to be mesmerized by yet another foreign song as every cadet stopped to listen. In truth, he noticed that he's been feeling strange and started to think: "What the Hell is wrong with me? I'm acting like a lovesick fool. Unless...no...it's too soon to tell." Alexandra seemed to know what her older brother is feeling: he's falling in love with her. Of how she would know...it's because she has feelings for a member of the Military Police named Bertholdt Hoover. Cecelia continued to sing her heart out as her fingers danced to the piano keys:
And now, I see those colors
Right before my eyes
I hear my voice so clearly
And I know that it is right
They thought I was weak, but I am strong
They sold me the world, but they were wrong
And now that I'm back, I still belong
'Cause I know
That I am only human
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
Just like the magic inside of you
Just like the magic inside of you...!
As soon as Cecelia finished the song on that note, she looked onward to see the cadets clapping and cheering for a soothing performance. Abigail was giddy as she's jumping up and down. Levi could see that Cecelia is full of mystery...especially when it has to do with magic. But what is the real reason why she's here? Only time will tell as Cecelia starts playing the piano to making things more lively around here.
