Chapter 18: Day of Conversion Pt2

AUTHORS POV

"But...that's impossible."

"I thought so too...until I was raised from my bed completely healed....
Tell me commander... what is preventing you from believing this?"

Derik asked the flabbergasted man.

"Well... I mean, for all I know, you and (y/n) might be allies and Titan shifters like Eren. Whenever you get injured, you heal instantaneously. You could've probably just been faking being injured for the few days you had that cast on-"

In a flash, Christa grabbed Erwin's pen and stabbed Derik's hand causing Erwin to jump from his seat and try to distance himself.

"ARRRGGHH!!! CHRISTA-!!!"

She slapped her hand over his mouth and showed the blood to her commander.

"See any steam, Sir??? I can take you down to the dungeons right now and we can pray for Derik...it will only show the same result as his quick leg recovery..."

Erwin watched his groaning cadet, and he thought about what had been said... what had been explained...

And he only had one thought... this if this was real... it would change his WHOLE view on life.
...

"Fine, but if you fail to prove your God's existence...all of you will be executed."

MEANWHILE

"W...what?"

"You heard me, brat! ...I...I saw the rope. I saw...what happened."

You watched your captain's body shake and crumble, his voice weak and filled with terror.

"But..." you could hear him trying to fight the spirits of unbelief and pride.

"I-I was...scared... horrified of the fact that all these things you've spoken about... might be true...that I've been...living...a complete lie..."

"C...captain-"

BASH!

The halls filled with the noise of an aggressively swung door, then a slam... these noises were then followed by the pounding feet of several soldiers.

From behind the bars, you watched three soldiers come from behind the wall.

"Derik, Christa?..." you said.

"Erwin?..." Levi acknowledged.

"What are you doing here-?" You stopped talking upon seeing Derik's injury.
"What...what happened?"

As Christa tried to explain, Erwin jumped in.
"I'll tell you what's going on. I've just spent the last 20 minutes listening to these two blabbering on about all these impossible things."

"...like?..."

"Like how you and Derik stopped those Titans from eating you with a simple prayer."

You jolted in realization.

"How you healed him from his leg injury instantaneously, then took his healing away because he was doing wrong,...only to give him back his ability to walk once he believed and realized the truth..."

"...ahem...well... the first thing I have to say is... I didn't do any of those things, God did."

"You see, (Y/n)... that's why were here." Christa started.
"Erwin needs visual conformation that these things exist and we aren't just pulling a... a hoax."
