Of the Forsaken and Forgotten: The Deceived and the Damned (teaser)
Warning: English Is no My Main language.
They lie themselves by saying they are not scared.
Yes, they might be excited to see the World beyond the Walls.
To Travel across the veil of ilusion that we call safety.
They hear the Truth that a voice in their Mind whispers:
"Don't be a fool, You should be scared, those who are Brave die due to their overconfidence in their untested abilities"
One should rely on their own strength to survive in the unknown Territory where only Death and Titans Reign.
After all, the bonds of loyalty and Brotherhood are shown their true Nature when defying death itself.
Sometimes i ask myself:
"Why do we challenge the reality of our World?"
Humanity has Lost the domain over the ancient World.
Now we are barely Rats waiting for the Hunter to Breach our Last nest and kill us all.
Is it because of this?
We try to fight back against those damned creatures, of which we don't even know their Origins.
Are we really trying to save humanity? To defend it?
Or are we just trying to satisfy our curiosity? Of the knowledge and wonders that we Lost decades ago?
We haven't even lives a Century trapped in these Walls. And we have already lost nearly the whole knowledge of humanity's history
We don't even have maps to show us what we Lost.
The Survey Coros have failed to map out the lands beyond the Walls.
I have lived it.
I have suffered it.
How each Time we try to go further the never ending green fields and forests.
I still remember My own fascination when we reached a mountain.
How we hoped that if we climbed it we could see the lands that no known Soldier of Humanity has ever seen since the Fall.
But then...
Then they found us...
Waves and waves of Titans.
They must have seen us miles away or perhaps they catch out scent.
They started hunting us.
We had no Choice but to escape that mountain that could have becomed our new hope.
But some...
Some chose...
To stay behind.
They Said they would climb the mountain with their own Hands to save gas for the return and inevitable combat once they descended from the peak.
If You ever asked My true thoughts of their actions i would have called them heroes...
But none of them ever returned.
I know...
I was among those who waited for them atop the Gates of the Shinganshina district.
3 days i waited.
My sister was among them.
I can only hope that whichever Truth and view that she at the peak was worth it.
Because Either she took her own life to escape certain death, unless she starved to death on the way back or...
Or...
Or she met her end at the Wrath and Hunger of a Titan.
And now here i stand.
After 8 expeditions beyond the Walls.
I have seen cowards and Legends die and fight against the Cruelty of the World.
I see the new recruits are, for the most part, children that believe they will become the difference in this World and reclaim what once belonged to our ancestors.
Perhaps they will.
But Time has shown me that if Humanity ever manages to Erradicate the Titan Menace and we can finally leave behind these Tomb where we await our end...
It won't happen in our lifetime...
And now the Gates are opening...
I can only dream of what My sister ever saw at the peak of the mountain.
Perhaps she is still there? Living there where no Titan can reach?
But i know the Truth.
I know that My dream of My sister being alive Is nothing more than a lie i tell to myself...
Because i saw it...
I used My telescope to see them One final Time during our escape.
I dismounted My horse and used My tool to see the mountain at the distance.
I never told another living soul of what i saw. It would be too cruel to do it
The Titans...
They...
The Titans were climbing the mountain.
Some were already about to grab some of the others.
I can still remember how i saw the Golden hours of My sister from the distance...
At least she was among the closest to the peak. She used her ODM to get away.
But that means she would have less gas for the fight and her escape.
And she never escaped.
I can only hope she didn't suffer.
The Gates are Open.
Perhaps i will finally reunite with My sister.
Final Note: This is only the teaser of the Prolongue of this Story.
