A/N: Thank you to my first four followers and my first reviewer for reading the first chapter! I'm happy you guys like it so far.

I couldn't mention this in the summary, but there WILL be future lemons, as this is rated M for that and for potty-mouthed people. There are also spoilers so if you haven't watched the anime yet or read the manga, don't read this. I wouldn't want to spoil the experience for you.

Carry on~

(o~o~o~)

"I know you can hit harder than that, brother."

"Don't test my patience, Caryn."

Said blonde smirked, blocking another enraged fist that Eadric had sent flying at her. No matter how many times he hit or tried to hit her, it hadn't made her flinch one bit. It was irritating, to say in the least.

"You're quite the hot-head, Eadric. That was basically a compliment." She dodged out of the way as a beefy-legged kick was thrown, trying to knock her small frame over. She was a lot quicker than her brothers, so things that took time to connect couldn't reach her.

"Would you like to see how much of a hot-head I can really be?" Eadric growled, dancing a few feet away and igniting fire in the palm of his hand. Caryn rolled her eyes. Her brother was always easily angered, and when he wanted things to end quickly, he always had used his element skill; fire.

"Fine with me. You know I can just put that out," the female deity taunted, calling her own element forward. She was able to use any type of water style, including ice. She could even combine the two with wind if she set her mind to it. That was the power that was passed down from her mother. Although, she was a bit jealous that the queen possessed all of the elements.

"You believe that a tiny gust of wind could blow out my elite flame?" Eadric scoffed, charging towards her with a flaming fist. "The thought is amusing."

Caryn's eyebrow twitched. 'Tiny?'

"You underestimate my winds, dear brother. Even though I am the youngest, I am treated no differently from you and Kadir. That includes the privileges of being the queen's daughter." She had stayed in one spot, the winds picking up in her hands to a frightening speed. When Eadric was nearly in front of her, she sent them spiraling towards him, extinguishing the flame and knocking him off of his feet. He crashed into a nearby pillar, causing the surface to crack and sending him down into a sitting position, the cocky grin now off of his face.

Caryn grinned knowingly. "I win this match."

The look on Eadric's face was nothing less than priceless; after all, he had just been beaten by his younger sister, and with wind nonetheless!

'Wait just a minute,' he stood, brushing off his clothes and lifting a confused brow. 'That was no ordinary gust of wind.'

"When did you learn how to use the Divine Wind?!" he gasped, a look of pure shock now settling his features. Caryn put her hands on her hips, walking towards him with a triumphant look.

"Mother had taught me not too long ago. I was also given the Winds and Waves of Elysium from the element keeper."

"What?!" Eadric roared, making the blonde goddess flinch. "And why is that?!"

"Your jealousy is unbecoming," Caryn rolled her hazel-blue eyes. "Have you already forgotten about my quest? Mother had them deliver the skills to me so that I could use them to my advantage during battle."

The blonde-haired male narrowed his eyes at her. "Of course I haven't forgotten, but is she insane?! I thought you weren't supposed to reveal your identity to the humans! Does she want to expose us?!"

Caryn glared, and Eadric let out a yelp when she had pinched his arm. This was not the time or place to be causing an unnecessary problem. "No, you fool. I am only allowed to use them if the situation is dangerous enough. Have faith in me."

He looked at her before sighing, placing a comforting hand on her head. "I still don't fully understand as to why you want to help those sniveling little humans. What good comes out of it?"

Caryn pouted, a bit angered at the hate Eadric had showed for humanity. "A peaceful world comes out of it. And why do you hate humans so much? You never had cared enough to tell me the reason."

She felt his hand stiffen, bringing it back down to his side and clenching it into a hard ball. Almost as if he wanted to break skin. It was quiet for a few seconds before he let out a shaky answer.

"It is not important. That is enough for today, go clean up."

He turned his back on her and began to walk back through the courtyard, towards the steps to the large palace. Caryn let out an unamused sound and shuffled quickly after him, grabbing onto the back of his top. "But you didn't answer my—"

"I said, that's enough." He snapped, glaring at her over his shoulder before shaking her off and disappearing inside. Caryn's mouth dropped open at the hostility her brother showed her. Yes, he was easily angered, but he had never been angered to the point where he had snapped at her. He was actually very kind towards her. The young deity began to worry for her brother, biting her lip and taking a seat on the palace steps. A goblet was left there with a clean cloth, the liquid inside the golden interior glinting with the sun on its surface.

Caryn sighed, deciding to forget how rude her brother was being and picked up the shimmering drink, smiling at the taste.

"Ambrosia water? I haven't had a drink of this in a while…"

"Don't say it like that, Caryn. It makes you sound elderly."

She looked up when she heard the teasing voice come from above her, the eldest son and her older brother Kadir looking down at her with warm eyes. Her eyes brightened at seeing the elder male, and he took a seat next to her. His kind expression had faltered a bit upon studying her, a frown marring his handsome face.

"You are feeling troubled," it was a statement, not a question. "Why?"

'Damn emotion reader,' she grumbled in her mind, giving her brother a sad smile.

"It seems I have angered Eadric while sparring with him again. But this time, he was more hostile than usual."

"I see," he leaned his elbows onto his knees, looking at her curiously. "Did you say something to him?"

"I asked him why he hated humans so much. But that isn't something he should get mad at me for, right?"

Kadir looked away in thought, leaning his cheek into the palm of his hand. "That is something I don't know either. He has never told me the reason. But that's not all, is it?"

Caryn looked down at her feet, the gold sandals sparkling under the sunlight. She wiggled her toes, staring at them in mild fascination. "I suppose not. But what else could there be?"

"Perhaps he is just frightened for you," Kadir replied, scratching behind his ear. His sister let out a confused sound.

"Why would he be frightened for me?" she asked, tilting her head to the side and playing with the ends of her hair. She had hoped that when she traveled to earth, she would not have to cut it. That was one of the many attributes that she had liked about herself.

"He does not want you to be killed on your quest. He does not want to lose you. And neither do I."

His gaze hardened, and he looked at her with calculating eyes. "I understand why you want to go, but please be careful. We do not want to lose our only sister. Caryn groaned, pushing her brother on his shoulder, the muscles bunching under the unwelcoming touch. "Shush. You know that we can't die in a world that isn't our own."

"I know that," Kadir shook his head, his brown strands falling into his eyes as they glittered with an unknown emotion. "But you can still lose consciousness from injury and fall under a coma. Which brings us to another problem; how are you going to avoid getting cut in front of the humans?"

The blonde goddess gasped in realization. She had forgotten that when a god's blood was shed, it turned a gold color before healing up in a matter of seconds. Of course, she didn't plan on ever shedding said blood.

"Guess I'll have to avoid being injured then, right?" she joked, patting Kadir on the shoulder. He rolled his eyes, pushing her hand away and standing up.

"Let's hope you can, then. Come now, you need to clean yourself and dinner will be ready soon. We wouldn't want the maids to come looking for us and scolding us, yeah?"

He outstretched his hand, hoisting her up and mussing up the blonde locks of hair on her head. The winged laurel that sat upon the tresses was tilted crookedly, and Caryn pouted, rushing to fix the jeweled piece. Kadir let out a booming laugh, striding up the rest of the steps and disappearing behind the large doors.

Caryn's eyes wandered after him, and her thoughts had begun to be disruptive again. 'Let's hope, indeed.'

Following the burly male suit, her small but proud figure opened the door and let it shut behind her with an echoed 'click'.

(o~o~o~)

'Knock Knock'

Caryn shuffled around in her bed, groaning in irritation at the annoying knocks at the door of her bedchambers. Sitting up, she glared at the door, although it didn't look too threatening with her disheveled appearance.

'Whoever's at the door, go away.' She growled mentally, half-praying that whoever was on the other side of the door heard her thoughts. When a second set of knocks came, with more force this time, she growled, kicking off the satin covers and stomping towards the door.

Throwing it open, she glared at the person behind it. "Do you have any idea what time—"she stopped speaking when she came face to face with a determined looking Kadir, his arms full of sacks containing who knows what.

"Kadir? What are you—"

"Get your things and get dressed," he ordered, turning his back on his sister and filing down the hallway. "After you're ready, come meet me in the portal room."

Caryn's eyebrows shot up in confusion, poking her head around the doorway and watching his receding back. She replied in a loud whisper. "Wait! What about the guards?! Won't they see us?!"

He stopped, turning his head to look at her. "They have been told to keep quiet. Now don't waste time, hurry up." And with that, he turned the corner. The tired goddess lifted a confused brow, returning into her room and shutting the door. She was wondering why her brother asked her to visit the portal room with him, but quickly thought nothing of it and began to get dressed, grabbing her pack filled with common snacks and waters. She slung it around her shoulder, not caring to put her hair up and exiting out of her room, filing down the way that her brother came and disappeared to.

"Why must brothers be so blunt," she grumbled to herself, looking left and right in caution for the guards. Kadir was right, they wouldn't be finding her anytime soon. Making a slight left, she came to a crystalized door, the letters of their language splayed across the top. She was relieved that she was taught the Elysian language in her earlier years, but even more so that she learned most of the human languages. The blonde deity knew they would come in handy someday.

She pushed open the cracked door, cringing at the slightly loud creak it made and filed inside, looking for her brother who stood by Earth's portal. It was a large, pool-like structure that was on the stone wall, the torches reflecting off the water-like surface. Caryn gasped when she saw that it was activated, and the ripples inside the portal were moving ever so slowly.

"Why is the portal turned on?!" she asked haughtily, glaring at Kadir who looked nothing short of stoic. The brunette prince shrugged, motioning for her to move closer.

"What does it look it? You're going to Earth." He answered matter-of-factly, crossing his arms over his chest and smiling. His younger sister's mouth dropped open unnatratively, sputtering words that he couldn't make out. His smile widened.

"W-What do you mean, I'm going to Earth?! Mother said I'm not supposed to leave for another six days!" Caryn scolded, moving her hands widely. Kadir rolled his eyes, an unlikely thing for him to do, and grabbed her hands, stopping them from swinging around.

"Oh spare me, Caryn. I know how desperate you are to leave as soon as possible. I'm doing you a favor, so just pass over already."

"If I leave too soon, Mother will kill me," she said through clenched teeth, her eyes widening in realization. She had forgotten about how mad her Mother gets when disobeyed. She was a lovely woman; when you didn't get on her bad side.

"I have already talked to Aunt Calandra about restraining her if things go badly," he assured, pushing her gently towards the portal. "And besides, you know how differently time passes between Elysium and Earth. If you don't go soon, it may be too late."

Caryn froze. That's right. Years could have already passed on Earth, and the Titans could have already destroyed humanity. She shivered, hoping that she was wrong. Turning her gaze onto her beloved brother, she nodded resolutely, her eyes firm.

"Alright. I'll go." She stepped up to the portal, getting ready to pass through. Kadir nodded approvingly, a proud grin on his face. Another thought poked into the blonde's already thought-filled head.

"Do you have any idea as to where I will end up when I travel through?"

Kadir thought for a moment, scratching his chin. He hadn't contemplated this earlier. "Disappointingly, I don't. You could arrive anywhere on Earth."

"Eh?! Then what happens if I arrive somewhere that's not even close to the humans?!" she snapped, infuriated that her brother would not think of this sooner. He just shrugged, giving a shaky laugh.

"You could try focusing on where you want to end up. That could work."

Caryn rolled her eyes, facing the portal again and taking a deep, nervous breath. "I'll trust your judgement, but if I get stuck in the middle of nowhere, you're coming to get me."

"Fair enough. Oh! I almost forgot," he reached by his side, pulling a shiny black-glinted sword of out of his holster. Caryn's eyes widened excitedly, and she grinned from ear-to-ear.

"You're giving me Exodus?!" she squealed, taking the beautifully crafted sword from his hands and holding it up in the light. It was a rather strange sword, with the handle and blade being an obsidian black and the sharp edges a grey-silver. Instead of middle being a flat, solid surface, it was cut out with an element generator, the rods parts weaving around it until they reached the winged end, appearing much like an Aegeus staff. Despite the size and characteristics, it was rather light. "But this is Elysium's strongest sword! And wasn't this a gift?"

Kadir waved a hand nonchalantly. "Yes, but I want to entrust it to you until you finish your quest. Besides, you are going to need it a lot more than I will."

"But I thought it only works with flames…?" she muttered, still studying the famous sword. The prince scoffed, placing his arms back over his chest and frowning at his rambling sibling.

"Would you rather I take it back?"

"N-No! I want it!" she squeaked, putting it through a loop that was on her chained belt. Kadir grinned knowingly, pulling her in for a tight hug. Caryn sank into the warmth, wrapping her arms around her brother lovingly. This was the last embrace that she would feel from one of her family members.

"I'm going to miss you, bloody brat." He teased lightly, pecking her on the forehead and patting her cheek as he pulled away. The faintest of tears could be seen on the girl's waterline, but she didn't allow them to fall as she smiled brightly.

"I'll miss you too. Wish me the best of luck." She stepped closer to the portal, about to descend but had an afterthought, looking back with a sneaky grin. "Oh, and Kadir?"

"Yes?"

"Don't let Mother kill you, or destroy anything."

And before he could give a snappy retort, she stepped into the portal, out of sight. The portal let off a bright light before deactivating, looking like a normal wall now. Kadir clicked his tongue, scoffing quietly.

"That girl is going to get it when she returns."

'Be safe, sister. We will watch over you.' He smiled, closing the crystal doors behind him as he made his descend down the marble floored hallways.

'And don't worry, we'll take care of Mother.' He added as an afterthought.

(o~o~o~)

'This feels rather weird…'

Caryn could only think to herself for a moment as she felt like she was being sucked into a black abyss, the world dark around her. She knew it would take a bit of time passing over to Earth, but this was just ridiculous. It had been almost twenty minutes, and she was a tired of waiting.

"Any moment now!" she shouted into the darkness, crossing her arms over her chest and huffing as she floated through blank space. Her thoughts began to wander freely again.

'What will I do when I get there?'

The blonde goddess had knew that when she arrived on Earth, she would have to change her ways and behave like the humans did. It shouldn't be that hard, considering that they were similar to the deities of Elysium.

Right?

A sigh echoed through the darkness. One could only hope. It shouldn't be that much of a change.

A dim light appeared ahead of her, and she let out a relieved sound. 'Finally' she thought happily as the light had gotten brighter, consuming her and whitening her vision as she felt herself touch the ground again, a soft wind ruffling through her hair. When the light dimmed again, she could finally see her new surroundings.

She was standing in the middle of a field, a couple of barren houses and trees here and there. They look unused, though. Behind her, there was a line of trees that she assumed to be a forest. Doing a full 360, she spun and took in the rest of the sight. It wasn't that much different from Elysium; blue skies, crisp-green trees and grass. The only difference is that it didn't smell nearly as clean and the houses weren't as luxurious.

The shocking thing was, that there were no humans around. No humans, no livestock, animals, or even Titans. Her eyes widened in horror. Had she been too late?

'No, I can smell that someone was already here…wait, what's that sound?'

Turning her head to the forest line again, she could see bodies come out of the foliage on horseback, the sound of hooves hitting the ground piercing her ears again. One followed after the other, and there were seven in total. As they got closer, she could make out that they were humans. She hid behind a nearby tree as they approached.

They were wearing green cloaks that were billowing behind them, a weird wing-patterned logo on the backs of them. She could barely make out the tan jackets and white pants they were wearing as well, and they had straps all over their bodies that were carrying a strange metal-looking device.

'Human attire sure is strange.'

The two females and five males were bickering back and forth to each other, and she listened in, using advanced hearing on them. A god could hear a lot farther than a human could, so she used that trait to her advantage.

"Damnit, four-eyes! You just had to be an idiot and leave your squad to confront those ugly bastards, didn't you?!" The leading male, who had a harsh appearance, barked at the female riding beside him. She was wearing glasses and had a crazed look on her face.

"I couldn't help it! And look on the bright side, we have enough test subjects now!" she squealed in delight, looking behind her. The trees behind them began to sway and act up, and besides that, Caryn could feel the rumbling of the ground under the soles of her feet.

"Corporal! They're getting closer!" the other female, who had a soft and girlish appearance warned, and Caryn's eyes widened to the size of saucers when the beings swarmed out of the trees.

'Are those…Titans?!'

The creatures were huge and grotesque, to begin with. The stood at about 5-10 meters tall, each one of them naked. Even so, they did not look to have any reproductive limbs. Some of them had frightening grins, and some of them had frowns. Some even ran differently. In all, they mostly looked like giant, mutated humans. The blonde deity felt herself shiver.

"How many are there, Petra?" the man she called Corporal asked, not taking the time to look behind him. The girl, now named Petra, looked behind her and counted them.

"There are seven in total. Two abnormal and five regulars! We're at a great disadvantage!"

With a 'tch' sound, the man clicked his tongue and looked at a young male with green eyes behind him. "Eren, fire the signal."

"Y-Yes, sir!" said boy reached to his side, grabbing a tool that Caryn thought to be a gun and loading it, shooting a line of black smoke into the air. She made a mental note to find out what those were later.

"Is everyone out of gas?" the Corporal asked his squad, still continuing to look forward even with the Titans on his heels.

"I'm out!"

"Me too!"

"Damnit, I am too!"

"Sorry, so am I!"

"Eren and I lost the gear to those Titans, ehe…" the woman with glasses laughed nervously, and the leader glared at her before looking ahead again.

"And I'm out too, thanks to shitty-glasses here," he muttered. An idea had popped into his head then. "Eren, I know you're not really supposed to, but I'm going to need you to shift."

"What?! But Commander—"

"I know what Erwin said," he snapped irritably at the younger male. Eren flinched, eyeing the mane of his horse instead of his Captain. "He isn't here right now, and you've already shown that you have pretty good control. It will be too hard to maneuver without enough trees around, and even so, we're all out of gas. We don't have a choice. Now do it."

The green-eyed male nodded hesitantly, bringing his thumb to his mouth and hovering over it. Suddenly (and to Caryn's disgust) he bit down, hard enough to make himself bleed and cut into his skin. But nothing happened.

He looked shocked at how nothing had seemed to work. "I-It's not working, Corporal!"

"Shit," a blonde-haired male with a cloth tied around his neck, just like the Corporal, seethed. "Out of all of the times in the world, it doesn't work now?!"

"We're just going to have to try and outrun them, then." Said Corporal added, spurring his horse on faster. They were close to Caryn now, and she bit her lip in contemplation. If she helped them now, her identity would surely be revealed and they would question her sudden appearance in the middle of a stranded field.

Suddenly, one of the Titans had sped up, it's head lolled to the side as his arms swung down and reached for one of the humans. Caryn's eyes widened in horror as the Titan (seemingly one that they had called an abnormal) grabbed said human and caused the rest of the squad to scatter.

"Gunther!" Eren had called out frantically to his comrade, watching as the male with a strange hairstyle yelled in fear, quickly using a type of dual blades to cut himself out of the Titans grasp. Its fingers were sliced off, and the male was dropped onto the ground with an 'oomph'.

The horses had been spooked away, running from the scene and leaving their riders there to fend for themselves. The squad had backed themselves into a circle, the seven titans walking dangerously slow towards the group, ready to capture their pray.

"Stay close and draw your blades! Don't break the formation, or we're fucked!" The Corporal barked his orders at his squad, a look of pure fear etched into every one of their features except for his and the glasses woman.

Caryn held fear for all of the humans and their lives. She could save them; she could help them get away and live. If she drew her sword…

No.

The young goddess grabbed Exodus and clenched the hilt, gritting her teeth in turmoil. She could slay these Titans and slay them all…

No.

She could be their savior, their ally. If she'd only just…

No.

Finally, Caryn threw her hands into the air, cursing the high heavens above her.

"Rules be damned, I'm helping them!" she snapped at the sky, unsheathing Exodus and grasping it in her right hand, running with intense speed towards the Titans that began to surround the humans, adrenaline fueling her body and powerful strides.

'You're first!' she mentally picked out one of the Titans, leaping with great force and slicing it on the back of its head. Without warning, the creature turned, smacking the goddess away from it. She barreled into the ground, a gasp of slight pain coming out of her mouth.

"Impossible," she breathed, watching as the Titan turned back around again towards the humans. "Exodus kills anything it punctures!"

She rose to her feet, clutching said weapon and glaring at the strong monster. "Unless…it has some sort of weak spot…"

'Then I'll just use this.'

"Rogue Sight," Caryn muttered under her breath, feeling the power turn her eyes a gold color as they adjusted, turning everything in sight to only three vibrant colors. The infrared sight that was passed down from her grandfather had come in handy for something like this.

Most of her surroundings turned blue, while the living creatures turned yellow and their weak spots turned red. She narrowed her eyes, zooming in on the only red spot on the Titan. The nape of its neck.

Smirking triumphantly, she dashed towards the creatures, jumping onto the Titans back and running up it with insane speed, giving the nape of its neck a strong swipe with Exodus. In no time at all, the Titan began to fall backwards, the red color disappearing and signaling its death.

Not giving any more of the Titans a chance to register that she was there, she moved on from one to the other, only to be seen as a blonde blur as she swiftly and skillfully killed all of the Titans in seconds. When the last one had finally dropped, she landed gracefully on the ground in front of the group, startling them. They had looks of awe and amazement on their face, with a hint of confusion. Even their stoic leader had a look of pure disbelief on his frown-marred face.

She smiled as if none of the steaming Titans around her fazed her, sheathing Exodus again and nodding her head to the humans.

"H-Hello there," she spoke nervously, placing her hands behind her back. Finally, for the first time in her life, she had met humans. Even though they looked quite afraid of the strange phenomenon that just occurred, they were curious as to who she was.

Nobody spoke.

Nobody even moved.

That is, until the Corporal opened his mouth, narrowing his steely gaze onto the goddess.

"Who the hell are you, and how the hell did you do that?"

Caryn frowned. She expected that type of question to be first anyways, and she smiled nervously, giving a little laugh of hesitance.

"Uh-Uhm…"

Before she could give a suitable reply, a large figure towered over the group, causing the blonde to gasp.

'Another one?!'

"Look out!" she screamed, running to the side of the Corporal and pushing him out of harm's way, the force of the push sending him and his subordinates barreling farther away from the Titans reach. Before she could protect herself or move, a large hand came down, hitting the goddesses small body with such great strength, she went flying into one of the cottages that was a great few feet away from her.

Caryn hit the building, crying out in pain as she felt a few of her bones snap in her torso and lower body. A wet liquid, probably blood, trickled down the side of her head and a few other cuts as her Rogue Vison turned off, going back to normal and blurring her eyesight. She saw the group attacking the Titan all at once, bringing it down with easy finesse.

The blonde deity's eyes fluttered closed, and her head dipped as her body fell from the side of the cottage and onto the floor, causing another slight jolt of pain to wrack her body. She couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't see. And that feeling frightened her.

'Mot…her…I revealed my secret. I'm truly sorry.'

That was the last thought she could think of as her vision darkened completely, taking consciousness away from her and casting her into an unfeeling, black abyss.

(o~o~o~)

Hope you guys liked it! I finished at 12 A.M, and it's a long one. I usually don't do long chapters for the first few, but hey, It was getting good, so I had to keep writing!

Thanks for reading, Follow, R&R please! I'd be grateful!
