Inspired by predator1701's story 'Meeting old friends one last time.' With the permission of both authors, The Court of Talons and The_Avenging_Titan, I decided to create a short spin-off story of 'Attack on Titan: A New Path.' It is a series of short stories about Eren and Cinder life on Remnant and their growth through a slice of life. Some parts of it may be considered non-canon, but with the authors' decision, it can be canonized. And also maybe you could think of it as the Chibi of A New Path I hope you enjoy it!"

Chapter 1: Fiery Art
It has been a week since Marcus attempted kidnapping of the Yaeger family things have been going as usual with the introduction of many things. After Eren and Cinder visit the doctor to help Mercury and the new training regime that Eren introduced in Kuroyuri, currently the Yaeger Family are having dinner at their house
The room was quiet with nothing much to talk about Eren and Cinder were talking to each other about the new training and Carla and Dina were talking about the money they got from rewards the of finding King Charlemagne and what to do with it they talked about giving it to the mayor and helping the town so they agreed as they ate there dinner Dina look at the children and wanting to ask something that been bothering her so she spoke
"So how the new training Cinder ? that Eren is teaching you and your friends I hope you're not getting hurt because I don't feel safe seeing young children holding a weapon and being forced to fight Grimm" Dina asked her newly adopted daughter
"It's fine Mom and Eren not forcing us ever since the Huntsman's came and hurt you and us, we don't want to be weak when someone like him comes again so we can protect ourselves and the people we love," Cinder said to her new Mother.
"Yes, what she said ms Fritz I'm not forcing her and the others they all volunteer" Eren told his stepmother "And what do you mean by young children? Isn't that normal back on Earth both Paradis and Marley have children becoming soldiers some of them already fought in the frontline in war at the age of twelve" Eren asked confused as to why Dina saying that Cinder and his friends were only children because the concept of child soldiers foreign to him
"No it's not normal Eren children shouldn't be fighting or killing they are supposed to have a peaceful life like playing, making friends, or going to school and that was on Earth on Remnant it's different children shouldn't be soldiers," Carla told her son concerned " and despite the fact Cinder already killed people's she still a child"
"What do you mean isn't Cinder already an adult she can make her own choices" asked Eren because by Earth standards she was old enough to be a soldier and make her own choice.
"No Eren in remnant there are laws that prevent the use of children as soldiers because it is considered both immoral and unethical that violate the laws of war and sentient rights," Dina told him remembering the many laws she learned back when she was still learning in mistral " and it's is wrong making her fight when she's only a child"
"Then what about Zeke when you and Dad turn him into a warrior? " Eren accused her remembering the memories he had seen from the paths about his half-brother and his life in Marley and everything he went through.
Dina who has been looking at him this whole time immediately has her head down in shame "I made a mistake I was wrong in letting your father making him a warrior I should have been a better mother and treated him better back then I was so focused on the freedom of our people that I forgot that I also have a responsibility as a mother to care for him and love him but in the end, I didn't and i paid the price" Dina said ashamed of what she had done even though she never physically hurt him she still let him suffer through everything her former husband had done.
Carla looked at her best friend with sympathy sad at what she went through though she may not know the full story yet she could tell when she sad
Eren looked at Dina and realized he shouldn't have said that and then immediately apologized to her " I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought him up.
"No it's ok yes I made a mistake with your brother but that was in the past and I Learned from my mistake and I made a promise to myself that I will never let both of you suffer through any sort of pain and that why I feel uncomfortable seeing you training her to be a weapon of war."
Cinder who has been quiet the whole time and sensing the sad atmosphere decided to intervene "But I'm not a weapon Eren gave me this power to protect people so I can help people like Myself, Nora, Eren, Mercury, and whoever else who went through those pain so other don't have to feel it it's not that he forcing me mom I chose to train"
Dina looked back at her daughter and sighed "Your right I was being too harsh Cinder you chose this and as much as I wanted to make sure you don't suffer like what my son did I can't you're own person Cinder so I have no right to make you change your decision even though you're my daughter.
"Thank you ms Fritz I'm not making her train against her will she wanted this and I'm not hurting her the same way with Zeke I promise, "Eren told her
Carla looks at them so proud of her son and Cinder " I'm glad Eren even though I still disagree with your the way you think, your right we can't force you to change"
They look at their parents and smile happy that they agree with them
Dina then said "Now then enough of this let get back to dinner the food is getting cold"
And so the family went back to dinner they continued to talk about other things They talked about many things, such as their hard work, the Titans, the Expansion, and other topics. Eren was going to drink his glass but it was empty so he asked Dina
"Hey, Ms Fritz, can you give me a glass of water, please?"
"Sure, just give me a second." As she reached for a vase filled with water, she suddenly slipped and broke the vase.
"Oh, Dina, are you okay?" Carla asked in concern.
"Yes, I'm fine, Carla, but the vase broke." As she picked up the broken pieces, she cursed, "Darn it! I just bought this yesterday."
As Cinder saw this she decided to help "I think I can fix this" she grabbed the broken pieces
"Wait cinder don- "When Eren tried to warn her Cinder used her Semblance and started melting the broken glass she started bending it into shape the rest of the family watched in amazement and when she finished she turned the previously broken vase into a beautiful new one.
"There finished," Cinder said as she took a breath when she looked at her family she saw look of astonishment and Carla had her jaw drop.
"Cinder that was amazing where did you learn to do that ?!" Eren ask
"Yes, Cinder, where did you learn to do that?" Dina asked once she had recovered from her initial shock.
"I learned it when I was playing with the clay you bought me yesterday. I think it would just be the same if I use my semblance on glass," Cinder explained.
"Wow, Cinder! Have you ever thought about being an artist? With that skill, you could become famous," Eren exclaimed.
"Oh, come on. I'm not that good," Cinder denied, feeling embarrassed.
"No, Cinder, you're incredible. You could probably become an artist one day, just as you could become a singer. You're talented, Cinder," Eren insisted.
"Did you really think it was that good?" Cinder asked, feeling embarrassed but also a bit proud of being complimented by him.
"Yes, Cinder. It was amazing. Carla and I are going to donate money to the town for both defense and a new school, but we still have a lot left. We know you love singing, so we wanted to ask if you would like to have your own studio on the farm."
"Really?" Cinder asked excitedly. It was true that since Nora made her sing, she discovered she had a great voice and started to find that she loved it. She even started making her own songs. The idea of having her own studio made the young girl really happy.
"Yes," Carla confirmed. "We could even make it an art studio since you not only fix the vase but also improve it. What do you think?"
"Yes, thank you so much!" Cinder exclaimed. She stood up and ran up to them and then hugged them. Suprise they hugged her back.
Eren could only smile
The family built a new studio on their farm with all the essentials for art and music. Cinder loved it after discovering that her Semblance could be used in other ways than just destroying things. She made many beautiful artworks with Glass and also used the studio to make her own songs. Sometimes, Eren even joined in on making music.
The people of Kuroyuri found them to be very popular, especially Cinder. She became a sort of celebrity in the town with her beautiful art and voice. Cinder only felt one thing ever since she made Kuroyuri her home with Eren and her new family
Happiness.

Ok, that was fun as you already read at the beginning this is a spin-off story to 'Attack on Titan: A New Path.' Though I already made this on a review but that was more of a joke rather than a real story and I made it on an old account called adinatarifa when I was replying to predator1701 but it got deleted so it's not there anymore so I had to repost it you might know me as that person who reposted everything and back then I didn't know how to made a new account so sorry for if it's annoyed you all and I managed to get a new one so thank goodness
Back to the point, this is the first story that I have ever made so there might be some mistakes here and there but so let me know if you find any errors
Honestly, when I first discovered this website 4 years ago I have only been a reader simply reading whatever am I interested and Attack on Titan: A New Path was the first ever story that I actually wrote a review despite being on the website for like 3 and a half years and you guys were the reason I got into the RWBY franchise in the first place so thank you for that.
Anyway I hope you like this little story I made the first part was heavily inspired by The Movie Elemental when Ember fixed the vase and I could see Cinder using her semblance other than destroying things and maybe using it for something productive after all her semblance allowed her to manipulate objects and turning it into whatever shape she wants
(Cinder's Semblance produces intense heat allowing her to manipulate objects, such as turning sand or dirt into projectiles that can be hurled towards her targets, as well as altering her clothes or weapons by manipulating Dust. It is also able to cause explosions on the ground over a given area)
Oh and she also can use it on any part of her body
(She appears to be able to generate heat through any part of her body, as shown through being able to conjure it with her hands in "Midnight" and her thighs in "Amity".)
Just wanted something that I wanted to remind people of
Last this story is more of a fun project that I want to do so don't expect me to make any original stories or crossover in the future I'm simply doing this for fun. I don't really have a specific schedule so I will only be making chapters in my free time since I'm almost finishing high school and getting ready for going to college and again I'm simply doing this for fun.
Oh and here's the old version if your interested

It was a normal day in Kuroyuri and the Yaeger Family was having dinner they talked about many things like how they work hard, the titan, Expansion, and many other things.
"Hey, Ms fritz can you give me a glass of water please" Eren asked.
"Sure just give me a second" As she grabs a vase filled with water she suddenly slips and breaks the vase.
"Oh Dina are you ok" Carla asked in concern.
"Yes I'm fine Carla but the vase broke" as she grabbed the broken piece "Damm it I just bought this yesterday" she cursed.
As Cinder saw this she decided to help "I think I can fix this" she grabbed the broken pieces
"Wait cinder don- "When Eren tried to warn her Cinder used her Semblance and started melting the broken glass she started bending it into shape the rest of the family watched in amazement and when she finished she turned the previously broken vase into a beautiful new one.
"They finished," Cinder said as she took a breath when she looked at her family she saw look of astonishment and Carla had her jaw drop.
"Cinder that was amazing where did you learn to do that ?!" Eren ask
"Yes, cinder where did you learn to do that" Dina asked when she was done with her shock.
Oh I learned it when I was playing with the Clay you bought me yesterday and I think it would just be the same if I use my semblance on glass
"Wow Cinder have you ever thought about being an Artist because with that you could become famous," Eren said
"Oh come on I'm not that good," Cinder said as she blushed.
No Cinder you're incredible maybe you should come with me when i enrolled to Art school.
Are you sure? As Cinder doesn't know what to think about the unexpected Invitation
"Yes Cinder you can join with Eren if you want to," Dina said approvingly as Carla nodded
Oh ok, Eren and what was the Art school you said you wanted to go to Eren?
"Vienna"
Meanwhile
On Earth Gabi and Falco are having lunch at a survivor camp in Marley, Gabi suddenly drops her bread and touches her head.
Falco noticed and asked, "What's wrong, Gabi? You seem to be having a headache.".
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened"
"What are you talking about, Gabi?" Falco asked her, looking at her weirdly.
Gabi shook her head. "Never mind. It must have been my imagination. I was probably just tired. I don't know what just happened."
"Oh if you're not feeling well maybe you should go to the medic"
"No, forget it it was probably nothing"
"Oh, how wrong you are Gabi" Ymir thought silently as she was playing sandcastles in the coordinate while watching the many possible timelines in the Path.
