Year 846, Black Order HQ

Allen was walking through the dark halls of HQ. He had just joined, so he was trying to get used to the place before he was received a mission or some paperwork from the devil himself, Cross. "There you are beansprout!" A red-head came fast approaching.

"The name's Allen." He retorted. "Get it right."

Lavi chuckled. "Hey, anyway… I was wondering… since I'm a bookman and all, I'm going to have to know about your past." He said. Allen paled. Lavi noticed, "Oh don't worry! Any and all secrets will be safe with me. You just tell the truth and I'll be on the way."

The white-haired boy sighed. "Ok, let's get this over with. We should probably go someplace private, so no one can overhear us."

"Sure." Lavi shrugged.

When they found a secluded place, they sat down in a couple rugged chairs, and Allen pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ok… so, I should probably start by saying I'm a titan shifter."

Lavi's eyes widened and his mouth popped open at his bluntness. "Huh?"

"However, I'm not working against humanity. Otherwise, I wouldn't have joined the Black Order now, would I?" Allen said.

"Wait, hold on… a titan shifter? So, you can turn into a titan? How and when?" Lavi said, taking out a golem to record what they are saying.

Allen shifted uncomfortably. "I wasn't always like this…" He breathed. "First, I was a titan, wandering around outside the wall for seventy years. I befriended another titan that was much like me, just wandering…" He let his sentence fade. "Um… I was actually a sort of titan lord."

"Titan lord?!" Lavi couldn't believe a word.

"Now, just listen: at first I wanted nothing to do with humanity. Then, it was during one of their expeditions that changed my mind. They attacked me." Allen shrugged. "At first I was surprised that they were this aggressive. They figured out how different I was from the others, and were attempting to capture me. I had no choice but to slaughter them."

Lavi shivered at the word 'slaughter'. "I then decided to go to one of the northern, outer districts of wall Maria. I forget the name of that specific District…. You could've guessed what happened though. I basically wiped it off the map myself. I killed so many people…" Allen trembled. "However, I came across a man during this bloodbath I made. This happened six years ago."

"Did you kill him?" Lavi asked. "Along with the others?"

"I decided to spare him. He was one of the few who survived. Mana Walker."

"So…. You're father?"

Year 840, Chlorba District

A boy awoke on the streets, not knowing who he was or where he came from. He wasn't even sure about how old he was.

There was one thing he did know. He was hungry, and to prove it, his stomach growled angrily.

He tried to make his way through a crowd of people to find something to eat. People were talking about a 'slaughter' and some 'albino' titan. The boy couldn't help but have a gut feeling that he had something to do with it.

"Tch, street rat." Harsh voices called him names and cursed at him as he was pushed around, until he eventually fell off to the side.

He wandered the streets for the rest of the day, until he came across a graveyard. There was no one there, except for one man. That man stood to leave the graveyard, but then he saw the boy and that made him stop in his tracks.

The boy was about to leave, however the man approached him; a mask hung over his face, so he couldn't see any expressions. "You look like you're lost." He said. The boy stared at his feet.

"I just…" His eyes trailed to his left arm. It was disjointed and he couldn't move it for some reason. He sighed. "But aren't you some sort of clown?"

The man acted taken aback. "Why yes I am." He looked up for a moment. "Hey, I know! You could come with me, and we could be a traveling circus of sorts."

The boy blinked. He honestly didn't think he had any family connections of any sorts, and this man was the first person that was kind to him all day. "You're just recruiting me like that?"

"I guess you can call it that." He said. "Oh! I am Mana Walker by the way. What's your name?"

The boy knitted his eyebrows together. "I don't know."

"Hmm… no name then?"

"I mean, people have been calling me 'street rat' all day." He shrugged.

"Well, I'm not going to call you that for the rest of your life." Mana said. "How does Allen sound? Your name could be Allen Walker."

"Ok… sounds fine to me." The boy shrugged.

With that, they became a traveling circus duo. They've reached districts as far as Karanese and Shiganshina.

Shiganshina was where they met a man named Dr. Grisha Jaeger, who looked at Allen's arm to see what was wrong with it. He created a medicine for them, and when they were far away from Shiganshina, it had turned dark.

"Will it really fix my arm?" Allen asked incredulously.

"Yeah, it will." Mana said. "Let's… let's use it now." For some reason he hesitated. Allen raised an eyebrow, but he felt too excited to even care. "Here, give me your arm."

Allen winced when Mana took his left arm and injected the medicine into it.

At first, his arm felt normal, it could be used! "Wow… it works now!" However, there was a glowing cross on the back of it now. When he saw the glowing cross, he stepped back in fear, and suddenly grew a good five-meters.

He was no longer human, but a titan.

He saw everything going on. He realized he transformed, he realized he was lifting a flailing Mana Walker and placing him into his mouth. He realized he was eating him….

He realized who and what he was.

After he had eaten Mana, who was like a father-figure to him, he defused himself out of his titan body, and wept. "Mana!"

Year 846, Black Order HQ

"And so, that leads us to today." Allen said. "Cross found me, and decided to take me in and 'train' me a little before bringing me here."

Lavi blinked. "Sorry about Mana…"

"It's… fine, really." Allen said, shaking his head. "So are we done then?"

"Yeah. Thank you for your time, bean sprout." Lavi said, smiling.

Allen just nodded silently and left the room.

Lavi took a few breaths to calm himself down. No way…he couldn't be a titan shifter. He couldn't be the titan lord!

If Allen really was the titan lord, then he could easily just end the war between titans and humans. Couldn't he?
