Chapter 10 the Walled City Part 1

(Rayna POV)

We were on Skylight Era, I couldn't believe how much I missed being on it. So far, I've been okay, nothing bad has happened so far…at least. The only other Shards of Light from Equestria that I have other than Discord's were Rosemunde's and Luna's, I was surprised at least on how I could distinguish the two shards by their aura before seeing their color differences. While we were on our way to the Walled City, I was teaching Kate how to play the card game Speed, since we sorta had put that off, Sapphire was just looking out the window, very fascinated on the stars.

"You shouldn't get too attached to her, you know that right?" Kate asked.

"I know, but what if it's the other way around?" I asked.

"Then who knows what will happen," Kate said, "just trust me, we can't get too attached to some people."

"I guess, but what happens, if one of us…dies?" I asked, "then what?"

I was waiting for her answer, but she never did, she was silent for some odd reason. We just simply continued our game of Speed, just waiting to arrive at the Walled City. Sapphire was asleep when we finished the game, I just have to remember to wake her up when we arrive.

I had enough time to balance myself out a bit, I just need to so then I wouldn't have to have my inner light and darkness blow up on me again. After dealing with that, I went into the room I shared with Kate and now Sapphire, getting the hair tie that Kate had given me when she visited Traverse Town, just for good luck of course. When I got back to the cockpit, we were there and I woke Sapphire up.

"Are we there yet?" Sapphire asked.

"Almost," I said, "it's just with this mysterious threat; I'm uncertain if we could ever go back to Equestria after what happened though."

"So what do you want me to do?" Sapphire asked.

"Just try to stay out of harm's way," I said, "even if it means we have to separate."

"Don't worry, I'll remember," Sapphire said.

"Hey Oswald, what is the layout of where we are going?" I asked.

"We're basically going to be in a city with walls to isolate it from the rest of the world, but it also has walls to separate the different regions," Oswald said.

"If anything happens, can you take Skylight Era to the safest part of the city then?" I asked.

"Sure," Oswald said, "how about I just wait for you three in the inner walls once you three get off. Oh and just to remind you, it will probably be a while but time works differently in all the worlds, no matter how long you stay in the world, when you leave it, it would probably be only a day."

"Okay," I said.

Before we landed, Sapphire changed her appearance to look like a boy version of herself, only with brown hair and white sclera, even having a somewhat more masculine voice, Sapphire told us she was going to go in disguise as Saf Shard. When we did only Kate, Sapphire and I got off, and waved good bye as Oswald left for the inner wall. We were in the district that Oswald had called Shiganshina. It was pretty peaceful, but what would be the threat? Just then bells were being rung and we followed two others who seemed to have known what was going on.

Running behind them, we spotted what was going on, the gate at the wall was being opened as people were walking in, very few were not harmed, others were have to deal with injuries that can be easily seen. What were they doing? I was able to manage to hear a few things, Titans, Survey Corps, walls, but other than that, it was all confusing to me.

We were walking around now and just then, we heard something blow up, turning around it was the wall, and the gate was broken down. Was that possible? Anyways we were running for our lives, Kate and I had our keyblades in our hands, but there was no heartless, instead, giant humanoid creatures…were these the Titans? If there weren't any heartless, then there wasn't really much of a use for having the keyblades around and disbanded them. Finally we found someone who called himself Hannes and followed him, dragging the boy we were following earlier on his with one hand and the girl who was with the boy with the other. We made it to these boats which were taking us to a deeper into the city. While it happened, we heard and saw another one this time looking like it had armor, breach the gate that supposedly protected everyone from them.

"Hi, I'm Rayna Kagami, and these are my friends, Kate Blitz and Saf Shard, and you are?" I asked.

"Mikasa Ackerman," the girl said, "these two are my friends Eren Jaeger and Armin Arlert."

"What happened exactly?" Kate asked.

"That Titan, it was gigantic, it could see over the walls easily, it broke the gate," Armin said, "now our home isn't safe. It's all over."

"I will kill every Titan," Eren said then shouted out, "every last one of them."

"Is…he okay?" I asked.

"Hopefully, he is," Mikasa said.

Honestly, after spending a day or two here, I can obviously see two threats, not one, mutual survival and Titans. We would always be lucky to even survive these living conditions.

"Hey Rayna, you sensed the last keyhole that you sealed right? Well can you sense this one?" Kate asked.

"It's hard to, maybe something needs to happen first, I don't know," I said.

"You shouldn't try to rush it," Sapphire said, "Just do your best."

"Hey guys, looks like I made it in time, my grandfather got extra told them that he had children to feed, oh wait, we're one short," Armin said.

"Hey don't worry about it, Kate and I will split one and share it," I said as Armin handed us a loaf of bread.

"Oh are you sure about it, this is all we have now, if things continue this way, I'm not sure how much we'll get next time," Armin said.

Somehow, Eren got into two fights and well, we followed the trio, they were the only people we knew and could trust. Over time, we became friends, they taught us about the walls and they soon shared with us what it meant about joining the cadets.

"We'll join you guys if you want," I said.

"Seriously Rayna? At a time like this?" Kate asked.

"Um… can you excuse us for a second?" I asked dragging Kate to a secluded place as Sapphire followed.

"What is wrong with you? Wanting to join some sort of organization when we'll probably only be here for just a few days?" Kate asked.

"Hey they said that the Survey Corps gets to go to the outside world, maybe, seeing how I am technically supposed to be the expert on tracking the keyhole, the keyhole could be in the outside world or maybe in the Shiganshina District," I said, "I don't know where it is, it is just a hunch of possible locations of where it could be. Anyways, we could ask to quit when we're done. How bad can it be?"

"She does prove a point," Sapphire said.

"Fine but if anything bad happens, I'm holding you responsible," Kate said.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," I said, "now not only do I have to worry about my own safety, but your own as well, well that is a lot of pressure on my shoulders, as well as what other training we might be doing."

"Wait training?!" Kate asked.

"Of course, I mean, I don't think anyone can just join the Survey Corps, if we want to even try to make it seem we fit in, we have to train to join right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess so," Kate said.

On that day, we made an agreement, to train to aim to become members of the Survey Corps. However though, we wanted to wait for Eren and the others, to be of the age to join, I didn't want to join them if we didn't know anyone. Those three, were our only chances, to even survive. We helped out on a farm, wherever we were needed. Yet though, every day we worked, I felt guilt in my heart. I lied to Kate, on top of keeping a huge secret about my being. I lied that I didn't know where the keyhole was, when in reality it was possibly deep within one of the walls. And I've been keeping a secret from Kate, that I am Statera Eclipsin.
