... In Marley it was a special day, today the sermon to pass the Titan powers would end, yet all the warriors were excited and there was tension in the atmosphere, only 7 of the 8 would receive their Titan power, that meant that one was left out of this generation, although this did not matter to Elden, he was already assured as the next War Hammer for a long time, what did worry him was seeing his companions in a tense silence waiting for some instructor to come in and tell them who would be part of the new generation

Porco, as always arrogant, took it for granted that Reiner would not be the selected one, although Zeke intervened supporting Reiner, according to the older boy loyalty is the most important thing, even over skill, For his part Elden looked at Annie who never seemed to lose her serious attitude despite being friends Annie never talked to him much about her, she only remembers that she once said that her father was a piece of shit that used her, his curiosity about her increased every day, —New generation of Warriors, the heirs of the titan powers are ready —Said a short instructor they knew as Vlach, —Jaw Titan... Marcel Gallardo Galliard, —When Vlach said that and everyone looked at Marcel they saw him somewhat serious but then gave a very big smile. —The female titan, Annie Leonhart —Annie did not change her expression —Cargo titan, Pieck Finger —The black-haired girl smiled —The Colossal is for Bertolt Hover —Bertolt and the others were somewhat surprised —The armored titan is for Reiner Braun. —Porco looked angrily at the instructor

—Is this a fucking joke? He's the worst of us by far, he's a mediocre —Porco exclaimed angrily —Calm down Porco —Marcel said, Porco ignored his brother and went to look for Renier —I don't know what the hell you did to be there, you're the worst of us. —He said pointedly, Reiner seemed intimidated for a moment and then replied —Don't you see? If I was selected and you don't, it doesn't mean that you're the worst Galliard — He said with a wide smile, Porco was about to continue arguing but Marcel approached him and grabbed him from behind and began to take his brother — I'm sorry Reiner — Marcel said with a regretful face, Elden and the others assumed it was because of the scene that Porco had just made... Elden arrived home after the announcement of who would be the new warriors of Marley, everyone was given time to announce it to their families and to talk to them for a while, although it was because Arnold asked for it as a favor to Marley, — You already know everything about this titan, Elden we have faith in you, I know that you will return with the founder and raise high the name Tybur perhaps when you fulfill your mission, we will no longer be honorary Marleyans, but that they accept us as true Marleyans is still very difficult — Sagred said looking at his nephew

Elden listened attentively but seemed to want to ask him something — What What's up Elden? —Said Sagred —Uncle Sagred, I want to know why I was chosen as the heir... —Sagred was silent for a moment although what he wanted to tell the boy the truth and ruin his good mood and joy of the last days before such an important moment —Elden I don't know what to tell you it was simply a feeling, I feel that you are special and that you have the ability to save the world... —Elden looked at uncle with shining eyes, believe me I will do it —He exclaimed with great emotion, Sagred laughed a little —Uh and what about that girl named Annie that you talk so much about —After Sagred finished speaking Elden blushed a little —Ah? Well she will be the next to inherit from the female titan —He said trying to hide his blush, Sagrad chuckled again seeing the boy's attempt to hide his blush —It seems that you care a lot about her? —Just a little, she's my friend... While Sagred was talking to his nephew he felt calm, for a moment the thought that this same nephew was going to devour him disappeared completely, the last 10 years since he inherited this power the fact of having to leave this world always haunted him, abandoning his children and not seeing them become adults weighed on him a little, especially with Lara his best daughter, although unfortunately for him Marley did not let him enjoy his last time Alive he had had to give them explanations about the war muffle and his powers among other things, but that was the least of it, Marley decided to finish him off before Ymir's curse did it he had only turned 10 of his 13 years of life, this led him to think how insignificant the Eldian life is in Marley they are just a tool when they are of no use they will kill them all was the only truth, even he could not do anything to avoid it, well actually yes

—Elden do you think that the people who live in the walls Are they demons? —Elden looked at his uncle in silence for a few seconds —Of course it's all their fault... —Elden, what makes them different from you? —Sagred looked at his nephew hoping he could answer something —Well, according to him,Professor Ted we are also demons but we try to clean our blood —Sagred looked at his nephew with some sadness —I will tell you something that you may not understand, but we all believe ourselves to be heroes, it depends on the point of view... —After that there was a small silence between the two —Hey Elden I will go to say goodbye to Lara and Willy... Nephew I wish with all my strength that you use your power to save Eldia for real... —Without saying anything else he got up and left, Elde watched his uncle walk away and then began to process what had happened...

In front of Annie is Band the current possessor of the Female Titan, she was in a kind of tower of about 5 meters and was tied hand and foot with a lost look it seems that nothing mattered to her, some guys approached Annie with a syringe and began to inject it in the neck, suddenly Annie disappeared and in her place came out a giant monster of 7 meters and blonde hair, the titan He looked at Band and began to approach her, he grabbed her and pulled her hard enough to break the chains and hurt her arms, and as he had to do it, he devoured her... Elden had already seen this 6 times before but it was still disgusting and to think that he also did the same thing in front of everyone's eyes, including his family, his uncle seemed happy before they added the serum, he remembers that he told him - I wish you the best, remember what we talked about today and everything I taught you... It hurt him to remember that and it hurt him more when his cousin Lara began to cry devastated, he did not want to approach her after doing that... Maybe she was angry with him, that's why she did not approach her family who was in the other window watching the event... When the process ended and went well Annie came out of her Titan body without clothes even because of the smoke nothing could be seen, the same loose ones that injected her took her out of the Titan body completely and took her to a hallway where from what Elden remembered they would give her clothes and something to eat, as well as a quick check-up

—With this ready, I confirm the success of the Titans transfer, —announced the military commander Heder. Elden felt that it was time to get closer to his family... Elden approached and before he could speak he received a hug from his mother who began to cry without saying anything, everyone seemed to be sad except Arnold who kept his dream serious Elden looked at Lara who did not stop crying, until Willy approached her and whispered something in her ear, after that she dried her tears and looked at the ground with shame —Elden you are now the heir to the family power, I hope you meet the expectations that this entails remember that you represent the Tybur, remember it will always be important for you to survive to maintain that power within our family —Said Arnold, Elden looked at his Uncle and nodded while taking a military stance with one hand up in the form of an oath—So be it —Said new bearer...

(1 month later) Elden looked at the great explosion that the colossal Titan left when transforming, luckily for him he had fulfilled his role in the mission well and he could observe the explanation from a far away place... Heder decided to test the powers of this new generation directly on War, so I send them to attack the capital of a small country which was in conflict with Marley a few hours ago, the result turned in their favor with the destruction of the entire capital in less than a day after the war was declared, the eighth generation of warriors more than fulfilled what was expected of them, their mission was first to destroy military bases, which was carried out by the War Hammer Titan, the Beast Titan and the Female Titan, it was a complete success, the second phase was carried out by the Armored Titan and the Jaw, while the Armored Titan knocked down the wall that protected the enemy's main base, the Jaw was finishing off the soldiers on top of the wall to facilitate Reiner's approach, the third phase Pieck Titan mode would hide Bertolt inside the enigma base and would leave at high speed with everyone at a safe distance, the beast would let out a roar giving Bertolt the signal that everyone was safe and could transform ... The colossal Titan quickly recognized the warriors and began to approach them slowly, now it was time evacuate as the colossus approached an airship began to descend from the ground, Elden came out of his Titan form and went down to the ground but to the surprise of the other warriors his body did not begin to disappear it seemed only a white cable came out of his neck and connected to the Titan's body. "I didn't know you could control your Titan from the outside," said the cargo Titan with a very distorted voice. "It's just that I didn't try it in training, this Titan has many abilities," said the Tybur. "Interesting," said the beast, but his moment was interrupted by the footsteps of the colossal Titan a few meters from them, suddenly a large hot smoke came out and that giant body disappeared and Bertolt He returned to his formal form and began to approach them as the airship reached the ground. "Move!" Magath shouted and the warriors came out of their Titan bodies and began to run the ship.

"CONGRATULATIONS THIS MISSION WAS A SUCCESS!" Heder congratulated the new generation of warriors who took military postures and said at the same time - Thank you sir, - Rest while we return home, you will need it, the founder's mission will start next week - When Heder finished speaking Magath looked at him in surprise - Sir, that mission is supposed to start next year - The subcommander protested - This generation has shown to have a great level, why do we have to wait so long - Heder said looking at his second in command - Sir, it was only their first mission, remember they only have their powers for a month, could we wait a little longer - Magath's protest was interrupted by a shout from the commander - I did not give you permission to comment on my plan Magath, the Warriors will leave next week for the founder, understood? —Magath looked helplessly and just nodded, when he was the commander he would make many changes in the way Marley works, the warriors were surprised to know that they would leave the island so quickly although this made Elden happy, he would have the opportunity to fulfill his mission earlier and to free the Eldians of Marley at last his people would cleanse their sins.

(Some time later)

When they arrived at Liberio the warriors were greeted by their families, all except Zeke, —I'm glad you're okay son —Greda said while hugging her son —I am mom, I successfully completed the mission —Young Tybur said, When Arnold heard Elden's success in his mission he finally smiled —If you fulfilled your role in the mission I must congratulate you for representing the Tybur in a good way —When Arnold said that Elden responded bowing to him.

Arnold Tybur with his serious attitude seemed like an imposing man many times, but inside he was someone who cared a lot about the people around him, the death of Sagred times before it was due still hurt his mind maybe he was too weak and this led to Marley to handle the Tybur as he wanted, to the point that they had broken their deal with them, but the truth is that the power is distributed in a way that he is forced to give in to the Supreme Council, confirmed only by Marleyans these are the ones who decide what he can do and Marley in reality, are like supporting actors but with a lot of power, he should begin to prepare Willy so that he would obtain the favor of the council, now he was worried about what Elden's life would be like during that time on Paradis Island, he hoped that he would return well and that he would fulfill his mission, even about the latter he had doubts, after all Elden is only 11 years old, will he have the emotional stability to do everything necessary for his mission? Maybe it was a silly doubt after all the boy in front of him came from fighting in a war and surely had already dirtied his hands with blood, which made him give a small mental sigh from now on that would be the destiny of the maximum power of his family to be another tool of Marley

(a week later)

Annie looked around at hundreds of people who seemed excited and shouted victory greeted the 5 warriors who were in a carriage, she saw Reiner and his stupid silly smile on his face, Marcel gave a smaller smile, while Bertolt seemed to be nervous when he turned to see his friend she noticed that Elden seemed calm even as she knew him she could assure that he was very nervous, but according to their old conversations his uncle Arnold forbade him to show fear, so she assumed that it was better to leave him alone for the moment, after all he was assigned as the leader of the team this morning by Heder who also informed him that the Titan charged and the beasts would remain in Marley so as not to be left completely defenseless.

Elden noticed Annie looking at him and smiled at him while giving him a small wave with her hand, the blonde responded with a small smile, as they got closer and closer to the ship that would take them to Paradis Elden's thoughts were bothering him, he would have to lead his group and make sure everything went well even for his luck Marley gave him a basic plan, he had to adjust the details, what he remembered from the plan was very simple to explain but difficult to do, they had to infiltrate and find a way to get to the wall where the king would be once there they would steal the founding power and return home, Heder said that this mission would take approximately 3 years, which surprised him a little, he did not believe that it would take so long to complete it, Heder also added that every day a Marley ship will pass by and stay near the Island for a couple of hours, in case they completed the mission sooner, that reassured Elden who promised to finish his mission quickly.

On the ship the warriors watched as little by little their Home was getting further away,

now because what they knew from Ted's classes would be a 5 or 6 hour trip to Paradis Island, Elden decided to approach Annie to talk, —Hey how are you feeling, are you in a good mood to talk? —The heir Tybur asked the girl who just nodded —Hey you know when you are friends with someone you expect them to respond to your greetings sometime with words —He said in a playful tone, Annie giggled in response —You say I'm rude? —Annie asked him, Elden looked at her with a smile —Of course you are, —The blond affirmed —That was very rude, —The girl answered—You asked me —Elden said while making an innocent pose with his hands—I thought you would say no...

—Be ready, we are near the island —Exclaimed one of the Marleyans who were piloting the ship, gaining the attention of the warriors, The ship began to stop and a beach was seen, indicating that they were already at their destination, the warriors saw how the anchor went down to hold the ship that slowly opened its door —We leave you here, be careful with the titans and fulfill your mission as soon as possible, the future of the world is in your hands—said the captain of the ship earning a settlement from the warriors, Elden hoped that everyone was on the beach and raised his voice —Guys, we should take advantage of the fact that it is already night to start moving and get to the walls quickly —Exclaimed the Tybur, his companions looked at him and they nodded although he felt the nerves they had even though he was not better he was a Tybur and the leader of this mission could not show weakness —And don't worry we will recover the founder and return home safely —The boy said but his attempt to raise morale was practically ignored by Bertolt who seemed very worried as well —Come on Bertolt, stay calm we will complete our mission quickly and thus you will return to your mother —Marcel said to encourage the possessor of the colossal Titan which seemed to work —Let's save the world said Reiner smiling.

(Hours later)

Elden, Reiner and Bertolt were on top of the female titan who was running at speed towards the walls that began to look more and more imposing, although he was very surprised to see them, he did not show it, it was not the time to play after what happened to Marcel, his terrible skills to solve problems quickly cost him a partner just a couple of hours after his arrival on the island, but it was not the time to think about that. —Stop, Annie —When Elden spoke, the female titan stopped dead a few meters from the walls —Bertolt, Renier already know their part in the plan, the colossal form you destroy the first one, when you have it I will clean the city a bit of demon soldiers and Reiner knocks down the inner door —Hey Elden yes but if they use the founder's power to attack us with the colossals did you consider that? —Annie asked coming out of her titan form —According to my uncle, the royal family renounced weapons, they will only intervene if there is an attack straight to them —The warriors looked at their leader with doubt, maybe Marcel's death had affected him too much to do something so risky even so he was the leader and they had to trust his suicidal plan, Bertolt looked at Elden with doubt but nodded —Hey Annie when Bertolt knocks down the door run quickly like this to the walls and hide with the civilian population —Elden added, Annie does not like that at all but decided not to protest anymore she had already thrown it at the rest.

A huge yellow ray exploded outside Shiganshina, total chaos was approaching...
