Destiny of Paradise

What More Can Happen?

Sam

"I wish I knew." She said as she stopped in front of me. "All I know is that you're the cause."

"How?" I asked. "Are you real?"

"Would a hallucination do this?!" She then shoved me with all her forces, causing me to fall to the floor. She then knocked a couple items off of the desk. "I'm real. Just as real as you." I quickly stood up.

"There's no way." I chuckled. "I killed you. I ate you."

"Yes, you did." She said. "Yet, here I am. Also, I've gone back quite a few years." What am I gonna do, I thought to myself.

"I can't handle this." I said as I held the sides of my head and curled my legs into my chest. I felt like I was back to being nine when I first ate her and took her power. She had this control over me. It was far different from the friendly person in the sand place. She looked more formidable than the Colossal Titan.

"Stop being a child, Weiss." She said as she held her hand down to me. "You're the holder of the great Warhammer Titan. You shouldn't tremble in front of little me." I shakily took her hand and stood up. "You don't have to worry about hiding me."

"Why are you here?" I asked. "What is your goal?"

"Look away." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just do it." I complied and faced the door. "So you want to know my goal? It's yours."

"Mine?"

"Yes, your goal is my goal."

"I... don't even know what my goal is right now." I told her.

"Yes... yes, you do." She replied. "Your goal is to stop this conflict, just like Zeke."

"How do you—"

"I've seen everything through your eyes." She explained. "Every second."

"How?"

"I don't know. All I know is that you have brought me here."

"My goal is to unite the world, huh?" I asked.

"That's what you told me." She said. "Many, many times. You kept on wishing that you wouldn't have to choose between your warrior friends and your friends on the island. You keep saying how you've grown tired of the conflict already."

"It's pointless to try to unite the world." I said.

"Yes, it is indeed foolish." She sighed. "Yet you still want to do it. It is quite fascinating." I covered my left eye with my hand and began shaking. This was insane. "Okay, you can turn around." I turned around and saw her sporting a cadet uniform, her maid outfit folded neatly on the desk.

"You're gonna blend in?" I asked.

"Yeah." She smiled. "I doubt another face in the crowd will be too big of a deal. I don't think any of your friends from Marley will recognize me. They haven't exactly been well acquainted with our family yet. Anyone else from Marley may be a different story." She then reached back for the bun in her hair and removed the pin. Her black hair dropped below her shoulders.

"We should stay apart for a while." I told her. "I still don't trust you, but we can't have people find out that we know each other. At least, right now."

"Fine." She sighed.

"Also, do you know any maneuvers with the gear?" I asked.

"I do because of watching you." She explained. I nodded and walked out. I was still slightly in shock from what I've seen. A dead woman has come back to life.
