Erwin's P.O.V.
It had already been a stressful day; going on an expedition, watching more soldiers die, failing the mission, nearly escaping death on the way back home, and lastly- enduring that agonizingly, slow, walk through the inconsiderate crowds to get back to headquarters, where the endless amounts of paperwork had tripled in size. Not to mention the rumors going around about that one horse and the meeting about it after dinner.
What is it about this horse that makes it so significant? It is probably one of the horses that was left behind during a previous expedition, that managed to survive on it's own somehow, and so happened to follow the scouts home. Then again, the other soldiers were making such a big deal about it. The information that I had gathered so far made me reconsider my thoughts, that this was not just your average horse.
Rumor has it that this one horse had rescued some soldiers. Then again there's also word that it killed somebody. Some presume (myself included) that this is just an abandoned horse from a previous mission, while others claimed that this horse is wild. What I find most baffling is the word that this horse had somehow managed to take down a titan.
I was not there to witness any of these feats, or see the horse itself for that matter, but my mind was already swirling with ideas of how this could benefit humanity. But alas, these are rumors. I shouldn't be so easily influenced without proof.
Then again, that was how I heard about Eren Yeager and his titan shifting abilities...
My thoughts were interrupted when a soldier slammed open my door. Under normal circumstances, soldiers knock and request permission to enter. So unless this scout wants punishment, there truly is something wrong.
"Commander Erwin! There's a situation outside, it involves that one horse everyone's been talking about."
Perfect timing- I can see the supposed culprit of these rumors in action and judge it's worth for humanity.
Once outside, I glanced around, looking for a stallion or mare running around, as all the other horses were in the stables. But not a single horse was in sight. There was a crowd looking up at something, so I followed their gaze and-
.
.
.
I did not expect THAT!
Third person
After the (mare/stallion) had galloped across the roof of the stables, (she/he) was immediately assaulted by none other than Eren Yeager.
Unlike the stable hands, and other random soldiers that armed themselves with rope in attempt to capture the (mare/stallion), Eren was wielding a new pair of dual swords and refueled 3dmg.
"DIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!" He bellowed.
But the horse merely dodged, ran, and blocked his attacks with the saber that was still in it's mouth.
(He/she) even managed to jump in the perfect moment so that Eren would whiz right under (him/her) while in mid-air, completely taking Eren by surprise- but only for a moment as he went right back to attacking.
Eventually, Eren cornered (him/her) at the edge of the roof and blasted forward to deliver a fatal blow.
However, the horse, as if sensing his intentions- leaped onto another roof that was slightly higher than the stables since the ground had too many people crowding around.
This was the medicine building where the sick and wounded are tended to. Many of the doctors and patients threw open the windows to see what the ruckus was about.
At this time, the horse had already ceased fighting in favor of climbing higher and higher up the building.
Eren was not going to stop any time soon and the sword in (his/her) mouth was dulling very quickly with each strike that Eren had delivered. It had already been used earlier during the expedition, so one more blow would be sure to break it and then (he/she) would be in big trouble.
After all, there was no time to stop and get another sword when there was an angry, German boy trying to kill you.
As the horse climbed, Eren was getting increasingly irritated. Why won't this horse hold still?!
It was hard just to at least land a blow on the agile (h/c) body as it was. Due to the abrupt bursts of speed that the gas supplied in his 3dmg, Eren would launch himself forward a bit too far from his target, and then he'd have to drop a few feet before re-launching.
Bits and pieces of roof where the horse once was became sliced and diced from his swords, and some unfortunate soul nearly had his face shaved by the blades as he launched upwards (Unfortunately for Eren, that person was Captain Levi).
Finally, the horse had made it all the way to the top of the building- but before (he/she) could take a breather, Eren had reached the top as well.
With a startled whinny (very similar to the one that (he/she) did the first time upon realization that (she/he) was a horse), the (stallion/mare) reared up and darted full speed ahead towards the edge of this building so that (he/she) can jump onto another roof and climb even higher to escape.
Eren was going to chase after (him/her), but he was suddenly tackled from behind. Hand-to-hand combat training paid off as he elbowed the attacker off and delivered a few punches... Only to receive a brutal beating similar to the one that he had in court. It was (you guessed it) Levi.
Meanwhile, the(mare/stallion) had run out of roof to climb. (He/she) was balancing on a ledge that was large enough only for (her/him) to stand on.
In the state of panic and adrenaline rush, (he/she) did not realize that where (she/he) was standing on was practically the top of the castle. That is, until (he/she) looked back to make sure Eren wasn't chasing (him/her).
HOLY-! (You almost fell there) That is a loooooong way dooooooowwwwwnnnnn. Heights. (SCREE!!! DX).
No longer running (or should I say climbing) for your life, you resorted to leaning into the wall as far as you could while neighing loudly in discomfort.
~Meanwhile with Commander Eyebrows~
Glancing up at that one horse- who somehow managed to climb near the top of the castle, Levi clicked his tongue. "Oh, look at that. (He/She)'s stuck." Erwin stared up as well, a the gears in his head turning even more until he finally spoke.
"I think we may have acquired the most fastest horse in history." "Really? I was certain you were going to say that it was the smartest." "If that were the case, then (she/he) wouldn't have gotten (his/her)self stuck."
"... Tch." Levi then proceeded to drag an unconscious Eren to the dungeons.
