Few months had past since the Female Titan incident in Wall Sina. The cadets aren't that busy since we haven't got a single expedition outside the walls━but the higher ups are more busier these days, since they're trying to find out what are Annie's intention and the problem with the government about the plan Commander Erwin proposed in Wall Sina, that which cost hundreds of lives. 

Currently, we rode out of Wall Sina to Wall Rose inspect the titans that was reported. I was in the same wagon with Eren, Mikasa and Armin━along with Captain Levi and Hange and they brought along Pastor Nik━a wall cultist, who knew about the titan inside the walls. 

"Hey Hange, are your hobbies so boring that playing with a rock is somehow fun to you?" Captain Levi retorted his four-eyed partner

"Yeah, but this no ordinary rock," She answered, as she showed us the "rock" that she was holding, "It's the hardened fragment of skin left behind by the Female Titan," She stated

"Huh? It didn't disappeared?" I wondered

"Right! Annie reverted from a titan, but it's still intact even though it broke off her body," Hange outbursts, "It didn't evaporate, it didn't disappear,"

"When I compared it to a piece of the wall, its pattern and composition were practically identical. In other words, the wall is made is a barricade of humongous titans," She explained

Our eyes widened, "That's exactly what Armin was saying.." Mikasa muttered

As Armin was about to speak, Hange smack her hand over his face and continue to explains more on how to cover the hole in Wall Rose. But she went by to Eren's titan transformation, if he can use hardening ability to plug up the hole. Eren looked at her as if she was the craziest person he met (well, what kind of person gets horny over titans?).

"Use me... to seal the wall?" He questioned

"It should be made of the same material, and seeing how the hardened section won't evaporate, even after you revert from a titan..." Her words glimmer with hope, "It's possible,"

"I think, it's well worth the risk to try," Armin commented, "And assuming it really does work, reclaiming Wall Maria is feasible, too," He added as he explains more about the possible plan to reclaim Wall Maria

"But remember, it all depends on wheter Eren will do it or not," He said as he looked at his brunette friend

His teal eyes widened, "I realize asking this hardly seems fair, but..." Hange started as she looked at Eren with expectation, "Thick you can do it?" She asked

Eren hesitated to answer, but when he was about to answer, the Captain Levi cuts him off, "It doesn't matter what you think. You have to, there's no other choice," He said

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

As we arrived at Wall Rose, Captain Levi has to give a tour of what the horrid faces of the people in wall to Pastor Nik, once their wish came true. We assemble around the headquarters before we depart outside the walls. The captain and the pastor has entered as Hange approached them━having a small argument. The pastor cannot tell the secret behind the walls, but he mentioned one thing. 

"However, I can inform you of a name━who under their sacred will━we were instructed to monitor," He said 

"Monitor?" Hange questioned

"That person joined the Scout Regiment as of this year," He added as our widened, "Their name is..."

A door slammed open as someone spoke, "Her...?" Eren exhaled, unsure if the name mentioned was really her

Squad Leader Hange was confused who was the person was, "You must find her at once," Pastor Nik demanded, "Only she may know the truths which even we cannot perceive," He finished

"If she's in the 104th, then she's deep in the front lines right now," Hange realized

"Then, let's go!" Eren exclaimed, but he soon bumped into Sasha

"Sasha?! Were you here the whole time?" I asked as she quickly picked up a rolled paper and handed it to the section commander

"Upon my arrival, I gave my report to the Commander! Afterwards, I was entrusted to deliver this message to the Section Commander!" She call out

"Thank you. Good work," Hange praised as she switched the paper with a potato

"So, who is this girl?" Hange asked

"She's the smallest one of us,"

"She's got long golden hair... Um, and, she's cute,"

"She's sweet and helpful,"

"She's always hanging around with Ymir,"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We ride out through the night━towards to find Christa and the rest of the 104th. They explained that they sheltered at an abandoned castle in the southwest━where there's a tower that we can assess to the wall. Sunrise came we reached the castle and everything already fell apart as titans appeared out of the gigantic debris and started to eat another fellow titan. "Another titan shifter?" I thought as I gasped when I saw Christa running after the titan pile, when a titan popped out of nowhere.

Immediately, I jumped off my horse and went to strike the titan's nape. Landing on a castle's remain, I looked at Christa with assurance, "Everyone, back up for now. The rest is on us,"

All of the scouts ambushed the titans, one by one, they all fell to the ground, dead. When everything was clear, the titan that was being eaten was actually Ymir's titan. Steam surrounded the place as Christa held Ymir's almost wrecked body in her arms.

"Ymir... My real name is Historia," Christa whispered

Ymir━who was miraculously alive━smiled as she shuts her eyes to rest. As I witness this scene, a sudden pain in my chest appeared as I clutched on Mikasa's cape. Her eyes widened as she held my wobbling body, "Mia, are you okay? Is your anxiety attacking again?" She ranted

I panted━my breathing was unsteady, "U-Um.. no, I'm okay.." I tried to pull a reassuring smile, "I-I think I just need air, th-*cough* this place is re-really smokey," I lied as I walked away from the scene

I sat down, still panting as I started coughing violently. My chest tightens as I continue to cough more, until I felt some liquid running out my mouth. My eyes widened in fear as I looked at my hand━it was filled with blood. Another pain shot through my chest as I coughed more blood to the ground.

"What the fuck is happening to me? Am I dying? Or is it because of Ymir and Christa?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I loaded Zeke's last baggage as he and Pieck looked back at me. Reiner and the others haven't came back yet━Damn, even Mona. I frowned when I knew I was the one left in the camp, since I haven't got my titan yet.

"Take care of the camp for us," Zeke teased

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "Shut up, Monkey and get going," I grumbled

"Don't be a stuck in a mud, Pokko," Pieck giggled as she boards the ship

Zeke was about to board too, but I called out to him, "Hey, Zeke. Find Mona and my brother, okay?" I pleaded, "And kill all those island devils,"

The bearded man smiled sympathetically at me, "Don't worry, we will," He answered as he boards the ship

As it sails off, I sighed in boredom as I knew I'm gonna be left alone here, with more training probably.
