The angel and I enter a circular room, in which there is a semi-circular table along the far wall and a smaller table closer to the door. Behind the far table is a large window that shows the evening landscape of Tokyo. The room is lit by what looked like a crystal ball, suspended from the ceiling by a tether, which gave off light to rival the sun. Oh my gosh, I'm in Tokyo Temple Tower…

"So, this is the human who seeks sanctuary with in our walls?" an elderly, bald angel asks while stroking his moustache. His wings are a silvery-grey at the arches which turn an earthy brown towards the tips. So he is old, but not that old.

"Sanctuary?" I question and look at the black haired angel at my side. "I'm seeking protection? From what? What's going on?"

"Oh, so the human doesn't know-"

"Stop calling me 'the human', I have a name you know." I bite out in irritation. "It's Eren Jeager," I feel so confused, why am I here? What is going on? I just want to go home to my sister.

"I know what your name is, Eren Jeager. Do you honestly believe that I would call a meeting without knowing everything there is to know about you? I just wanted to see how short your fuse is, which is pretty short from the looks of it," the old guy states with a growing smirk on his face.

"Then it looks like you have me at a disadvantage, because I know nothing about you," I hiss.

"Shitty brat, behave yourself," Ackerman says and slaps me over the head.

"It's alright Captain Levi." He says with a smile that crinkles the skin around his eyes. "My name is Dot Pixis; that's Pixis to you, and I am the head of the Protectors world-wide,"

…

"Holy shit," I mutter as I stare at the man. How did I not recognise him? His pictures are EVERYWHERE! I'm such an idiot.

"Please have a seat while we discuss what happens from here," Pixis says and indicates to the chairs in front of me. I know I'm staring, I can't help it. He is the leader of the Protectors, he sorts out conflicts and saves children and keeps the world at peace. This man is a LEGEND! And he is sitting three metres from me.

"Shame, the little hatchling is in awe of you, General," a dark haired male angel says, he is seated to the left of Pixis, hair is tied up in a man bun and wings certainly the largest in the room.

"Shut up, Gunther," Ackerman hisses from my side. I turn my head to look at him and I am frightened by the sight. His eyes are narrowed, his jaw clenched and his hands fisted where they rest upon the table. He is truly terrifying to behold.

"Ye- yes, Captain," the angel called Gunther stammers out. Petra gives a little giggle from where she sits to the right of Pixis.

"Is something fucking funny, Ms Ral?" Ackerman asks as he turns his gaze on her.

"No, Captain," she declares, ducking her head to hide her scarlet cheeks. Damn, he does a number on these people just by glaring at them…

"Right then, Eren," Pixis calls our attention back to him. "Do you know where you are?"

"Yes, I am in the Tokyo Temple Tower. Your home," I incline my head politely.

Pixis raises a quizzical brow, "And how did you know that?"

"If all the angels are not a dead giveaway, the sky line behind you is. There is only one building in the entire city that is tall enough to see Amagi Amusement Park, the Central Lake and the ocean from," I clarify.

"Well done Levi, you not only found a firecracker but a very smart firecracker. This will be entertaining to watch," Pixis says as a grin nearly splits his face in two.

"What do you mean 'this'?" I enquire.

"So Levi really didn't tell you anything?" Pixis sighs. "Really Captain, leaving your work to me,"

Ackerman simply crosses his arms across his chest and huffs with boredom. His jet black feathers poof slightly, showing his indignation.

"Look Eren, when you saved Levi's life, you were marked as an Ally to the Protectors. Then the Creators somehow got wind that Levi was seen with you in a market place, which only solidified that fact. The Creators will do everything they can to kill you, because they believe that in doing so, they would get to Levi. Since it is in our best interest to preserve human life, and because our Captain felt that he owed you a favour, you were brought here to be kept safe. But we can only protect you while you stay in the tower. There is a dormitory in which you can stay-"

"No, he is a member of my household. He will stay with me," Ackerman interjects.

"What? But Levi-"

"He will stay with me-"

"Over my dead body," I say as I leap to my feet. "You can't keep me here! I have to get back to work. I have to tell my sister and my brother that I am okay! I have to go!" in hindsight it might have been a better idea not to yell at the head of the angels.

I watch as Pixis' eyes harden and his brow furrows slightly. "You understand that by leaving you will not only be endangering yourself, but your siblings as well, right?" he asks in a voice that is just above a whisper.

"Are you threatening my family?" I rage.

"No, we would never harm you or your family!" Petra interjects pleadingly. "But you must understand that making contact with them will bring them under Creators line of sight and going back to them would surely mean their death," her big brown eyes start to water a little and I suddenly understand what they mean. They are trying to protect me and my family.

This realisation comes down on me like a ton of bricks and I feel sick to my stomach. I whirl around, tossing the chair out of my way as I sprint to the door.

"Jeager!" I hear Ackerman call out.

"Leave him, Levi, he's hurting-" the voice is cut off once I have slammed the door.

I sprint down brightly lit corridors until I am blind with tears and my lungs burning for oxygen. I lean against the wall and try to catch my breath. My legs feel weak, like gelatinous mass instead flesh and bone, and it isn't long before they give out from under me and I sink to the floor.
