Paradis Island
The Yeagirst guards standing around Eren's crystalized body turned to watch as the crystal they were standing here to protect cracked open and crumbled as Eren Yeager walked out.
"What is the status of Queen Historia?" Eren asked immediately after stepping out of the crystal and straightening his jacket. One of the many young soldiers beside him jumped at the chance to talk and quickly stepped forward.
"She has successfully given birth to an heir, both her and the child are safe in a small farm just outside of the Trost wall, sir" she responded as she knelt in front of Eren, the one who will bring peace and restore Eldia. Without saying a word Eren stepped around the girl.
"Take me to her" he ordered, and let the soldiers pass in front of him and show him the way.
As the soldiers walked through the city of Trost many passing civilians watched in awe as their so-called savior walked amongst them. Cheers began to ring all throughout the city and soon most if not all of the city's inhabitants were outside watching and cheering as Eren Yeager walked past them.
"Perhaps you should say something to the crowds, sir," another young soldier recommended to Eren. Without responding Eren sped up to the front of the group.
"I'll be fine from here, you may leave, go be with your families" he told them coldly, without stopping or even turning around to face them.
"Y-yes sir" they responded together as they shot up a salute to their hearts and went their separate ways, leaving Eren all alone at the gate of the walls.
"MURDERER!" an elderly woman yelled from her house, yelling over cheers and hoorays as she threw multiple tomatoes in Eren Yeager's direction.
"MONSTER!" another woman yelled from beside the elderly woman as she threw eggs and other rotten foods at him.
The crowd's cheering came to an abrupt stop as they all turned to face the two women.
"MY SON, MY SON IS DEAD, HE WAS CRUSHED BY THE DEBRIS OF THE WALLS WHEN IT CAME TUMBLING DOWN" the elderly woman screamed as she threw more objects not even aiming in Eren's area anymore.
"MY SON IS DEAD!" the elderly woman cried out loud as she dropped to the floor and started sobbing. The crowd stayed quite unsure of what to say when a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties jumped up from the crowd and walked towards the two women.
"Your son died for the new ELDIAN EMPIRE. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD FOR HIS PASSING" he told the elderly woman as he screamed the last bit for the crowd as well. The crowd once again started cheering after hearing this, chanting the words, NEW ELDIAN EMPIRE, NEW ELDIAN EMPIRE. However, some in the group now looked around in confusion and guilt, whilst some left the group and were starting to return to their homes.
Eren stopped momentarily and turned to face the crowds, standing there, staring at them. Some in the crowd took this as a good sign and started chanting their "savior's" name.
"THERE IS NO ELDIAN EMPIRE." Eren's voice boomed to the crowd as he yelled over them.
"I did not murder those people beyond the wall for you to celebrate their deaths. Those people were all innocent. I massacred them so they couldn't come back and attack us years later. I did this for the Eldians' protection. Not so we could become some empire of the old. So, we could be free without attack. So, we could have peace, not new wars." Eren yelled out to the group immediately quitting them. With that he turned around and walked out the gate towards Historia's farm.
1 hour earlier
"I can see the head Queen Historia, you're almost there just one more push!" the nurse coached through all of Historia's screams of pain and agony. Finally, it stopped as the Queen's newborn baby took over the room with its cries and kicking feet.
"Congratulations your highness, it's a healthy baby girl," another older nurse told the young queen, as she placed the baby in Historia's arms.
"Do you have a name picked out for her yet, your majesty?" another of the nurses asked as she checked the Queen's health.
"Yes, she will be named, Ymir" Historia announced while she cradled her newborn child in her arms.
Present Time
Historia held her new child Ymir in a bundle of blankets as she stood outside watching the different animals linger and eat on the meadow, ignoring all the troubles the humans were brewing.
"Your majesty, Eren Yeager is here to see you" one of the queen's royal guards informed, as he dropped down to his knees and bowed.
"Thank you, tell him to meet me back here" Historia responded quickly without turning around.
"Of course, my queen, and what about Princess Ymir would you like me to bring her inside for you?" the guard questioned, still on his knee with his head lowered.
"No, it is fine, now leave us" Historia told the guard, turning around this time to face the man standing behind the guard.
"Ah- yes of course" the guard answered as he turned to leave the room when he realized something and turned to face the queen.
"Us? Who are you talking about your maj-" the guard started when he saw Eren standing beside Historia.
"Can you leave now, please" Historia stressed as she turned and smiled at the guard.
"Y-yes of course" he said as he fled from the room.
Eren stood there quietly staring ahead at the farm animals that were out grazing. Historia followed suit and stood quietly, eventually turning and looking over at his body, his tattered clothes, ruined hair, and bloodshot eyes. After standing for a while Historia took a deep breath.
"Eren, this is our...daughter, her name is Ymir" she told him as she turned to face him raising the baby to him.
"Ymir huh" Eren said as he picked up the baby holding her up to the sky. He then pulled the baby close and whispered in her ear,
"Soon Ymir…. soon"
"Eren...is...is what you told me true. Has she really become the inheritor of the Beast Titan?" Historia asked as she gently began to reach for the baby.
"Yes, she has. Everything is happening exactly how I saw it would. Now there is just one last hurdle to clear." Eren told Historia as he tightened his grip on the newborn Ymir.
"What's left, all you have to do is restart the rumbling, that's what you told me!" Historia yelled as she began to pull Ymir away from Eren.
"I'll show you" Eren whispered as he entered the Paths using Ymir, taking Historia alongside them.
In the paths was founder Ymir sitting down in the sand; she quickly turned to face Eren when he appeared.
"Ymir, bring them here" Eren muttered coldly while looking Ymir dead in the eyes.
"Eren what are you do-" Historia started
"This is it, the last stage" Eren interrupted as a group of people came into view.
In front of them stood Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Levi, Reiner, Annie, Gabi, and Falco. Historia gripped her newborn, Ymir, tight, staring at her friends. Between them sat Founder Ymir.
"EREN!" Armin roared as he ran towards him, throwing a punch. Without batting an eye Eren sidestepped away from Armin and grabbed his arm.
"I did not bring us here to fight, I want to talk"
"The time for talking was before you murdered all those people!" Armin screamed as he swung another fist.
"I killed them for our safety, for everyone on Paradis's safety"
"There were other ways, genocide wasn't the only option!" Armin yelled back as he once again swung his fist, this time landing the blow, right in the face. Eren, unfazed by the punch, stared Armin down, with a gaze that looked as if it was boring itself into Armin's soul.
"There. Was. No. Other. Option." Eren stated with emphasis on every word as he continued to stare down at Armin, before dropping him to the floor.
"Eren, stop this please" Jean pleaded as he and the rest of the alliance rushed forward to Armin's aid.
"What do you mean there was no other option? OF COURSE, THERE WAS ANOTHER OPTION!" Armin screamed as he stood up trembling with rage.
Eren just stood there quietly looking down at the 15th commander of the Survey Corps.
"ANSWER ME" Armin roared again as he shoved Eren back.
"Armin, people only resort to fighting and physical strength when they can't think of any other logical thing to do, aren't you the one who told me that." Eren spat as he turned his head to look Armin in the eye. Armin was already stepping forward ready to fight when Annie stepped between the two.
"Eren, why did you really bring us here, to kill us?"
"I told you I am not here to fight, I'm here to talk."
"Ok fine then, talk. We're all ears." Jean said as he stepped forward waving his hands
"What could you possibly have to say?" he continued.
"Take a seat, there is a lot to explain"
