Memories of the past, and a few surprises
As soon as they entered the city, Latina Hadn't woken up yet, She was placed at the castle with historia and Ymir, Who were glad to know she was alright, She was placed in one of the spare rooms just like Ymir was, Every chance they got to go to check on her to see if she was awake, but every time they went in she was still asleep, that night she was tossing and turning in asleep almost as if she was having a nightmare
In the dream or vision, she was in a different town, not one she recognised, for one and the contraptions were different, they want any horses with carriages, the buildings were slightly different, and some people were wearing weird armbands ' what is this place.' Latina wondered, She then saw two children a little boy and a little girl, They must've been siblings, she found something familiar about the little boy
' hang on' she looked closely 'those eyes... is that....dr jaeger' her eyes then widened, The two started running, so she ran after them, he and his sister ran out of the internment zone, Some soldiers tried to stop them by yelling out but they ignored it, they chased a star he to her, flying contraption, which they knew as a blimp
'Wow...' She then slow two Security Authorities officers, I asked where the permit was, both looked scared, he said they didn't have a permit and gave him two options manual labour or a beating, that's when Latina eyes widened 'What the hell...They're just kids...to pull stuff like this but a beating or manual labour is nothing to...' She then gasped and covered her mouth, One of the men punished Grisha while the other one took the little girl away
' no stop!' She tried to stop the other man from beating him up, but she just went right through him, falling down and rolling down the hill
As she reached the bottom, she saw another flash of light and closed her eyes, As soon as she opened up again she gasped and covered her mouth and horror, the little girl taken by the Marleyan officer who escorted her away that day...was getting eaten alive by dogs ' oh my god!' Her eyes were filled with tears ' stop it! Make it stop!' She tried to run at then Just like before, she just went through them, so she backed away in horror covering her ears and closing her eyes
' make it stop! Somebody stop them!' What was six the most was the man that brought her there, no remorse at all he seem to take joy in it
She then found her In a room that was a couple and the little boy, but what made her sick was the man was there, along with the man that had beaten the little boy, He explained that her corpse was later found Her corpse was later found dead and mangled in a river, He lied completely, which shocked Latina, he didn't just make her sick, he made her angry
Mrs. Yeager was filled with tears, however Mr. Yeager smiled and explained that he would re-inform his son of their history. He then explained the history of the Eldians and why their ancestors' actions justify their outcast status in Marleyan society 'no... it doesn't justify their actions to kill her... Why are you going along with this?!?...he's lying to you!' However, Grisha explained that he believed the Marley men were lying and tried to say they killed his sister but Mr. Yeager silenced him and the two fought over their situation as Eldians
' No he's right...No one should ever have to go through this, where did the name is Eldians and Marlians come from?! We are all humans!' Mr. Yeager tried to convince his son why they needed to be punished but Grisha expressed his belief that they should not have to pay for the actions their ancestors committed. He even told them things were better when the original king was alive. Even cursed the man who killed the king
'Wow! Young dr jaeger is brave! I think I know where eren get it from now' she smiled at the thought
She then found herself in a place, Saw him again as a young adult, What upset her most was he was living his life being shamed for being an Eldian ' No one should feel ashamed of who they are, humans were supposed to evolve from their mistakes! What was it like before the king died?' He was treating a patient by the name of Grice, led Grisha to learn about the circumstances of Faye's death. This gave him the motivation to join the Eldian Restorationists
Through his activities and a mole in the Marley legal system named 'The Owl', Grisha got information about Eldian history and met Dina Fritz, a person of royal descent. A year later they got married and had a child which they named Zeke, as she watch them take a picture together, She looked towards the little boy 'He seems familiar...' the man from before then crossed her mind 'Wait... is this him?' Her eyes then widened ' If he is grisha's son...that would make eren his!...' she covered her eyes from another blinding light
Later in their lives, Marleyan officials recruited children to take on the power of the seven Titans their people had stolen from the Eldians so many years ago, so they could go to Paradis Island and take down King Fritz, who had fled there and built Walls for his people 80 years ago. "The Owl" informed the group that Marley's real goal was to steal the Founding Titan, so they could enhance their military might. Grisha then decided he would send his own son into the program as a mole for them ' no...grisha....you shouldn't have.... why didn't you look for the Romanoffs? Did you know they were still alive.'
Over time, Grisha and Dina began coming increasingly distant with Zeke, leaving him at Grisha's parents' house almost every night so that they could attend meetings with the Eldian Restorationists ' no...this is also all wrong....' she then entered another memory
Whenever he and Zeke had free time, Grisha would spend it quizzing his son on the "true" history of the Eldian race. In the meantime, Grisha also learned from Grice that Zeke would need to earn higher marks as a Warrior Candidate if he was to be involved in the plan to recapture the Founding Titan, causing Grisha to put even more stress on Zeke to become a Warrior. However, after observing Zeke's poor performance during a public training session, Grisha became frustrated with his son, leading to a heated argument with Dina about what to do with him ' why?....he's your son!'
Another memory than, it was night during dinner, Zeke tried to convince Grisha to stop helping the Eldian Restorationists. Grisha was appalled at the idea, reminding Zeke that the only way for Eldians to live in peace was for the restorationists to overthrow Marley. He was enraged to hear Zeke bring up Faye, angrily telling him that the restorationists were fighting with the express intent of making sure that no one suffered the same fate as her. However, he was taken aback by Zeke's accusation that Faye's death was caused by his decision to take her outside of the internment zone. Stunned by Zeke's words, Grisha lamented that he had only wanted to see an airship with his sister ' It's true what happened to your sister was wrong, you're acting just as wrong as them...Your son needs you...'The next memory that flash was even more horrible, Zeke exposed his parents and all the restorationists, and they were sentenced to go to Paradis Island as Pure Titans
As soon as the next memory flashed, Latina immediately covered eyes in horror and shock again, but the screaming couldn't be blocked up any further, Grisha was subjected to nude torture as the soldiers attempted to get him to reveal who the Owl was by cutting off his fingers. Once they gave up on obtaining the information, Grisha and the rest of the restorationists were taken to Paradis Island and sat on their knees before a large Wall by the ocean. After kicking Grice off the Wall alive, the rest of the restorationists were turned into Titans with Titan injection except for the Yeagers and another member. When it was Dina's turn, Grisha pleaded for her life, and tried to point out that she was of royal descent and could be of potential use to them, but was silenced by Kruger before any of the soldiers could overhear him, to Grisha's surprise. He watched her transform into a Titan and run after their friend, Grice ' if I could go back in time I would save his sister... And kill that prick...'Latina thought, clenching her fists
Meanwhile elsewhere
Eren woke up screaming, which startled both Armin and Mikasa, he gasped, looking around him, tears slipping down "what was that? Who am I? And where-?" Armin came into view from behind the wall outside his cell " hey just calm down, you're still in the stockades, you and Mikasa for your insubordination " Armin explained
"Where are you having a nightmare? Or.." mika asked holing the bars from inside her cell "Yeah. I guess I was" Eren muttered "When you woke. You asked who you were." Armin states "It's true. Also you look like...your crying.." Mikasa says, which was true
"I feel strange, like I just woke from the longest dream of my life" Eren says, pressing his back against the bars and sliding down, hand against his forehead, but then he realised something "... Hold on... There was no dream... It was real... Just now... I was somehow reliving my dad's memories. The titan... It was you... Poor Dina..." he imitated his fathers words like from on the wall that day
Back in the memories
Sergeant Major Gross decided not to turn Grisha into a Titan, but to throw him to the other restorationist after he had been transformed' what?! And how did he survive.!' After adjusting the dose to create a 3-4m class and injecting the other man with injection, revealed to actually be Titan spinal fluid, he threw him off the Wall to transform. He began explaining how watching people be devoured made him feel alive in such a dull society 'No one should feel alive doing this to other people! What pleasure can one gain doing this?!'
He then began pushing Grisha off asking him to fight and die in an interesting way. However, before he could do so, Latina's eyes widened when Kruger pushed Gross off the Wall. As Gross is devoured, Kruger asked Grisha if he enjoyed such a sight. He then revealed that he was The Owl and claimed that he would show Grisha how to truly use the power of the Titans.
Kruger then transformed into a Titan and destroyed the steamboat that took all the soldiers to the island ' He is the attack titan...If he is the owl... then He didn't want them to know about Dina...But he just...turned his own followers into Titans...' After destroying the Marleyan men and their equipment, Kruger returned to the top of the Wall and, after introducing himself and explaining how he became a spy, he began to speak with Grisha who asked him why he left only him alive. Kruger fell to his knees from exhaustion and told Grisha of his terrible acts against several thousand Eldians, saying he did it all to serve Eldia in the end ' I understand... There are some things in this world... you can't right all the wrongs..but they should receive justice for those who have suffered...'
Kruger then said that he was entrusting Grisha with his final mission, and went on to express regret for playing a role in his sister's death, but that the hatred he saw in Grisha's eyes the next day was part of the reason he chose him, Latina then covered her mouth when she heard his story of his own uprising, how he witnessed his family be burnt alive and chose to get revenge
' i felt like that once...I wanted revenge for the people that tortured me...And my friends...' Even if it was painful for him he had to torture his fellow Eldians to maintain his identity until that day.
He then told him that he had to add to the walls and take back the founding titan, using the power of the Titans, He was going to give him his power, he then explained why he couldn't do it when questions asked, talking about Ymir Fritz, And how the host would die, and it had been 13 years for him, All hosts had 13 years to live until they had to pass the power on to another, this made Latina's eyes widened ' so eren...armin,..Reiner...bertholt....and Ymir will die soon...no! Has to be a way to save them!'
Grisha then asked Kruger why he allowed for Dina to die, he said that he believed it would be better than having her give birth to royal children for Marley until her death 'Actually I hate to admit it but he's right... he would have never been able to see her again... and they would just have used her like others have used me' Grisha told him that he did not believe he was fit to take on his mission, and that he would not have paid the price for freedom if he know what it was. Kruger then commended Grisha's father for trying to keep his family safe when he knew what happened to his sister.
Kruger confronted Grisha, and told him that the reason he chose him is that at the expense of others, he sought freedom by going past the Walls. He said that their brothers and sisters paid the price for their freedom, and that those actions will follow them until they are repaid, even after death. Grisha then stood up and accepted Kruger's mission. He then told him the name of the Titan he was going to take: the Attack Titan. Before he was to give him his power he mentioned one last thing which made violets eyes widened in more shocked than ever before
"Everyone thinks this is true, but it's not. you already know of a previous king, King Romanoff. His eldest son is alive. In fact he is hidden within the walls" he informed which grisha's eyes widened " How... How do you know this?" He asked "Because I sent him there. with his guardian. The man in the castle as no one has ever seen him. Would've only used them as a puppet. True is that to some suffering. But if he had stayed. Marley would win. And there would be no hope to stop this war. You want to end the war? Then find the Romanoff" he said which grisha nodded ' This man... Saved my father.... He sent them to the walls to protect him from...the man in the castle? Who is he?' Latina wondered, she than watched as grisha ate Kruger, taking his power, then went to the Walls and began his mission, the memory then vanished
'Wait! Is that it?! What about the past Before the kings death! My grandfathers death!...and who is the man in the castle?!' She continued walking towards a light up ahead of her, then started running to it ' I have to know!'
As the light vanished she opened arise again in gasped, she was outside of the castle ' wow, it's beautiful..."
Guess where which anime it's from
But beyond the cliff she was near, she could see the town, she looked around and noticed the difference between the people some where Eldians, someone Marlians, that was a shocker, was that they were getting along ' it's all so wonderful..' she smiled in awe
'but...why did it all change?...' another memory then flashed,
There was a ball going on, people dressed up fancy Dancing with their partners
Note, Up the stairs are four thrones
she looked surprised at who she saw, a man, standing amongst the people, with a little boy, hugging him, With eyes she recognised with out a doubt ' it's...my father...' then looked at the man ' then.... This man is my grandfather!'
She looked up at the thrones and saw a beautiful woman with blond hair, talking with another little boy ' then.... That woman in that little boy must be grandmother and uncle Nicholas!' She then watched as her father rushed up to see his brother and mother
Suddenly, the room went dark as the lights went out, while the only lights in the ballroom was the luminous moon outside. Everyone looked to a hooded figure with an glowing green reliquary on his belt, walking towards the head of the Romanov family ' who is that?... and why am I getting a negative vibe from him?...' she wondered
Her grandfather walked down, blocking the man's path to his wife, and two sons. "How dare you return to the castle." He scowled
The man removed his hood, revealing his face. "But, I am your confidante."
Sorry! I couldn't think of a supervillain name! So I chose the one I hated the most! This guy creeps me out
"Confidante. Ha!" Her grandfather scoffed "You are a traitor! You'd rather us suffer the misery of our ancestors! We overthrew King Fritz, and you wish for us to punish the eldians of the future for the mistakes of the ancestors in the past!" People were agreeing with their king "No! Get out!" He ordered
"You think you can banish the great jastice lowfan?"held up his reliquary . "By the unholy powers vested in me, I banish YOU, with a curse." Everyone in the crowds gasped, the queen held her two sons back in shock
"Mark my words. You, and your family will DIE, within the fortnight. No one will remember your words. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I SEE THE END OF THE ROMANOFF LINE FOREVER!!!"he raises the reliquary, sending a lightning bolt to a Chandelier, which fell to the floor. When the light is restored, he is gone. ' he has power...but it's dark...bad...But how did he get it?' Another memory then flashed
The man kneels in front of a sorcerer's circle, cowering in fear as a huge, shadowy figure appears above him. He raises his arms in supplication. A shadow, like smoke in a windstorm, leaves his soul being sucked toward the terrible figure, while violet covers her mouth in shock ' he's mad...'
As his soul leaves him, he becomes a living skeleton, with a red glow surrounding its boney body! Then the reliquary materialises in mid-air before he's skeleton. It reaches out, grasps it, and he resumes his physical form, as it becomes his new soul.
" give me the power... to take down the king and his family and steal their power" he chanted, waving his hand around the reliquary, to the demons leaving the reliquary.
The kings army fought against the demons, but they were clearly winning " retreat! To the castle!" The commander yelled, meanwhile the king watched from the window, in shock, he gripped his fist " father! Let me help!" Latina watched her father plead with her grandfather
" you aren't strong enough to fight him victor, I will confront him" her grandfather declared " but... he'll kill you!" Her father exclaimed with tears in his eyes " if you go out there and try to fight him he will defeat you, I will not allow my son to become a puppet of a madman, power mad" her grandfather declared holding her father by the shoulders " but know this, I love you and I will never stop my sons" one man In a hood approached them saluting the king, he acknowledged the man, her eyes widened at who the man was, but slightly younger ' it's mr Kruger!'
"take my sons and wife somewhere far from here, don't let jastice find them "he declared which the man " i'll defend them with my life your majesty" as he walked over to Latina's uncle and grandmother, her grandfather turned back to her father "son, in my heart I believe one day, he will be defeated it may not be by you but by your child, you need to teach them if that is to be the future, teach them to control their abilities just as our ancestors have done in the past" he declared Which her father nodded
She watched as her grandfather waved his family goodbye, he sign relief knowing they would be safe, he then heard a familiar laugh and turned to find his enemy behind him, Sarah watched as they fought, But to her sadness her grandfather was losing, she watched as he received cuts and bruises and cuts bleeding badly, the man with the sword stood in front of her grandfather with that disgusting grin "I've been waiting to do this for a long time ever since you banished me, Any last words before I end your miserable life?"
"Why? "Her grandfathers voice slightly croaked, making the man raise an eyebrow" hmm?"
"Why make the eldians suffer? Do you take joy in the misery of others? Are you that sick?" He asked " hmm...So what if I am? You let them off easy that's what made you the fool... Even after the history you've learned you took pity on them?! "He laughed maniacally "Because... The next generation trumps the previous generation... How can we evolved if we act like those of the past?... I made a choice I knew was right. Also. Ignoring you was the right choice I made "the man just glared at Latina's grandfather
"you old fool... Don't worry, once I find your son and gain his power... I will finally achieve my goal.... I will rule this world and there will be no want to stop me!" He growled " you're wrong..." Latina's grandfather croaked as blood continue to pour out of him, making the man raise an eyebrow at him "really? And how?" He asked
" there will always be someone out there to stop you... You will never gain our families power... And I will be watching as they kill you and make you suffer for your misdeeds..." he coughed out blood
"Sheesh... you're annoying, how about we silence you now" With no remorse Latina scream "no!" as the man impaled the sword into a grandfathers heart, laughing maniacally, she really hated this man, he then walked away leaving her grandfather bleeding to death
'..I'm cursed?...my family's curse..grandfather..'she slowly walks to her grandfathers corpse ' I wish I could've met you...' she thought as tears welled up in her eyes, slipping down her cheek, she tried to touch his check But her hand just went right through him ' you can...' she gasped when she found found herself in a strange place, it didn't seem like a memory to her
By the way before anyone asks, the art isn't mine, even the picture below, the art was made by woknar, on deviant-art, so go check out the persons art work, if that person sees this, it's amazing
" what is this place?" Latina wondered out loud " the unknown land" she gasped when she heard a voice behind her, turning around in alarm to see a man she never thought she'd ever meet
"grandfather?" She gasped " i'm finally glad to meet you and Latina , I'm saddened that I can't meet my other granddaughter your sister, but we haven't got much time" he said " You called this place the unknown land, is this where the titan powers come from?" She asked looking towards the strange lights that reached the floor, which resembled a tree " you are right, Ymir Fritz is also here" he said, which her eyes widened " look there" he pointed out, Latina saw a girl with the white hair wearing tattered clothes, next to her was a bucket, all she did was stare up at the sky at the lights
" The poor girl... She's been trapped here... our family has been trying to set her free... After all it wasn't her fault for the Titans control over the world for so long, it was King fritz's fault" he gripped his hand " She is still treated as a slave even if she is here, I believe she is stuck onto the Vow Karl Fritz made, along with the other royal family members, when she created the wall titans" he said, Latina looked her grandfather confusion
"I'm aware of the story grandfather, Karl Fritz used her to erase the memories of the eldians within the walls, but I don't understand why...What you did back home was good... you made a world where both got along happily...Did our ancestors trying to stop him?" She asked, which he shook his head " They couldn't... I too don't know why though.... But I believe the same way you do that they didn't deserve it at all... The past eldians did was wrong, but the future eldians Shouldn't pay for the missdeeds of the ancestors of the past... so I can give you the information I know" he walked closer to his granddaughter, Placing his forehead against her and showing her the memories of others, like Karl flitz, her eyes widened, and her father and mothers, about the day mother got kidnapped and someone came to her rescue, she saw the persons face underneath the cloaked hood, it was her father, her grandfather removed his forehead from hers " now you understand?" He asked which she nods
"Then you know what you must do? "He asked again which she responded with another nod " I've answered your questions, but will you now answer mine?" She asked which she nodded " if she is saved, will the curse of Ymir end?" She asked, her grandfather pondered on the question, but then answered " I believe so, but I'm not a hundred percent sure" she lowered her head in sadness ' maybe it will, I can't think negative!'
" now, you must leave, before he find you here" just then a flash of light started surrounding her " wait! But-" " if he find you here, we're all done!" He grandfather cut her off, just before everything faded, she looked towards Ymir still dazing at the stars " Ymir!" She looked over, her hair still covering her eyes " I promise, on my life! I will save you!" She yelled before the light consumes her, right as it happened, the girl looked shock towards the girl that had just disappeared, a small tear slipped down her cheek
Back in reality
Latina woke up screaming, which alerted the other three girls in the room next door, including some surprised guests, she was sat up, gasping and panting ' was all...of that?...real?' Just then the door burst open, revealing Ymir and Lizzy
" sis!" She turned to them " guys?" They rushed over " you okay red, you practically screamed bloody murder" Ymir said worriedly " what's up"
Latina looked back down " i'm okay. Just completely shocked" she looked back up at lizzy "I think I met our grandfather.... And I think I saw the past" she said which made hers and ynir's eyes widen " what?! How?! What was he like?! What else did you see?!" Lizzy rambled with questions "woah! I just woke up tell you this when you're immediately throwing questions at me" Latina chuckled, lizzy covered her mouth " whoops, sorry. I'm glad your okay" she said smiling " me too" Latina smiled
"how's everybody else?" She asked "They're fine. The commanders are talking with Premier Zachary, they giving historia and me a break, since I'm her partner and all this now, Eren and Mikasa are in the cells for insubordination" that's when Latina's eyes widened "oh.. I completely forgot about that." She said frowning
" that's not all" which made her eyes perk up " we have some surprise guests, and a letter from your uncle" she gasped when hearing this
In the other room
Here's the outfit
After she was dressed, the two girls took her to where historia was with the so called surprise guests, meanwhile Latina was wondering about who they were, and how her uncle got a letter to her, without having to come here himself ' maybe the surprise guests are part of the resistance and delivered the letter for him' she then looked over at lizzy, Who for some reason seemed excited ' im guessing lizzys met the surprise guests... but why is she so excited?' she wondered
The door opened, alerting the floor in the room, one of them being historia " Latina!" She smiled brightly, she smiled back at her, then noticed the unfamiliar faces, three girls, one of Them, a girl with blue hair, gave her a look, then her mouth parted slightly and she got out her seat, rising over and hugging Latina, which was a big shocker to her, and the other two other girls, but for some reason, not Ymir, lizzy and Historia
" umm...hi?....er...someone wanna tell me what's going on?" The redhead questioned looking around in astonishment and confusion
" someone had delivered a letter to us, so apparently your uncle sent your three cousins" Ymir smirked from behind her " huh!?" Her face turned shocked
" I'm re=l" the little bluenette said, before going back to snuggling Latina, she then turned to the tall white haired girl
"Hello Latina, My names Sistine" she smiled, then looked at the final girl
"And I'm rumia, we're glad we finally got to meet you and cousin lizzy!" She chimes
Okay blame me if you want but I couldn't resist! If I'm bringing one character from that anime why not bring a few more, not a lot though
Latina was in shock, literally standing there like a statue 'no way...' while getting her cheek poked by re=l ' me and lizzys cousins...are here...'
"Yo red, you there?" Ymir waves her hand in front of her face ' I have to be dreaming...' she was both happy and still shocked ' if it is a dream maybe if I pinch myself. I'll wake-' just then she felt someone pinching her arm " ow! Ow! Ow!" She exclaimed, turning to lizzy who had a smug grin on her face " oh, your okay!" She chimes
" lizzy! You didn't have to do it so painfully!" Latina exclaimed, rubbing her arm, the others seemed to giggle at this while Ymir held a sly smirk
Time skip
After the family talk, there was still some stuff historia needed to discuss with Latina and Lizzie's cousins, So since she was awake she asked if she could go for a little walk, Which the others agreed said she just woke up and needed to stretch her legs
Latina walked around the courtyard by herself, then found a bench and decided to sit down for a while, she began pondering on her grandfather meeting, and the memories she saw ' I can't believe all this... I managed to save The recruits along with my friends... I went to sleep and saw memories of the past...I met my grandfather and saw Ymir Fritz... and now I find out that my family is cursed by a madman...Who wants he gets hands on me to steal our power... if I can't stop him... He's going to win and then I lose everything...and everyone' small tear drops started to form in her eyes
' no...' she clenched her fist ' grandfather or father would never start thinking negatively, thanks to them I know my enemy now, and I will save everyone, I will bring back peace!' She looked back up, but her emerald green eyes showed more determined then ever before
' I will stop him'
