"where did you got that," Eren asked them with his eyes shining as it was on fire.
"I got it from that bag. He was getting cold." Gabi said as she holds Falco's hand.
Eren sighed as he sat down. His eyes reverted to dullness.
"that scarf belonged to Mikasa. It is special to me. Her last thing as a memory for me."
"i-I am sorry, here take it back," Falco said as he begins to remove it.
"no, keep it. It would eat dust with me." He said.
He grabbed his bag and gave it to them as he said "help yourself with food. We are leaving in an hour."
An hour later, Falco stands far from the group as he cuts his hand with a knife eren gave him.
Lightning struck as light glows from him till a giant bird emerges.
"here help me," Eren said as he gives one end of the net to gabi.
"that's not necessary, we won't fall or something." She said.
"fine. Your mistake if you fall." He said as they boarded on the bird as he took off.
Three hours later, gabi looks down from the titan as she watches the ground. To her dismay, the ground was covered with big footsteps and bodies of victims crushed by wall titans.
"we will land near the marleyian coast and rest. by next day we will finally reach home."
He says as he looks at the girl.
"what are your plans," he said
"huh," she said.
"what will you do after you reach paradis." He said.
"I don't know, I don't want to live with braus family. I would only pour salt on their wounds."
"as far as I know they are very forgiving in nature."
"still I guess we may live somewhere on the island. We can do any odd jobs."
"like"
"I don't know about him but I can do anything."
"there is no need" he smiles "I will talk to her, you both will live in the orphanage. Guess she might need some older children to take care of toddlers. They create nuance anyways."
For another hour they fly until they until the coast was finally visible though even it was desecrated by the giant footsteps.
They land near as eren says "go do whatever you want to, just don't go far away. okay."
"Okay," both said as they remove their shoes and start walking towards the sea.
"I always wanted to go to a beach. Only if these stupid footprints were not present how beautiful this place would be." She says.
"at least we have this beach." He says smiling. Looking back as eren slept on the ground.
"Hey, let's play in the sea"
"no, we don't have extra clothes and there is no wood to burn to keep us warm. I don't want to ruin this scarf either." He says touching the red scarf.
"aw, you are boring."
They continue walking at the seashore with water continue to wet their feet.
"hey, did you got any memories of Mr Braun?" Falco says.
"no, maybe they come only after the first transformation," she says as suddenly an idea struck in her mind. "hey, I want to transform."
"WHAT" he shouts.
"I want to see my armour titan and maybe I will then get his memories."
"but gabi, first one never go well."
"This is an open space, nothing will happen. I can control myself. now give me that knife." She joins her hands and looks at him with pleading eyes. "please."
"fine. Just let me go far away."
"ok, I promise I will control my titan."
"we will see."
He gives the knife but had a worried look on his face.
"gabi reconsider." He says.
"I have." She says. She then places the blade on her palm as she looks upon him. "hey, can you give some advice."
"just cut and think you want to transform."
Falco moves away from her, she cuts her hand as she transforms. Her titan is similar to that of her cousin except the hair was longer and was of the same colour as her.
"Woah!" Falco says as he starts to back off from her.
Her titan's head suddenly turns towards him as she starts to walk towards him with her pace increasing. She suddenly roars.
"shit," he thought as he started to run. As their distance started to decrease suddenly he trips over and falls. "no" he looks over to see her titan staring. "gabi stop it's me." He holds the scarf. "remember you gave it to me."
She extends her hand towards him as he closes his eyes. Suddenly he hears a large thud as he opens his eyes to find the titan fallen as steam erupts from her nape.
"you two!", he turns his head to see eren running towards them with anger all over his face. His eyes blaze in purple colour.
"who the hell told her to transform?" He grabs Falco by his shoulder, violently shaking him.
" i-she.."
"leave it." He says as he climbs over the titan and grabs gabi out. "playtime is over, now sleep." He orders.
They reach back to the landing spot as he lays her down. Falco lies down next to her as he sleeps.
Eren sits next to them as he thinks "why every bloody thing has to happen. Here the worst is coming."
