"The government doesn't want you to know this, but, almost seventy years ago the Titan worshippers protested in shiganshina, demanding for the gate to be opened, and, it was."

The flickering flame of the candlelit lantern illuminates the faces of the young cadets, all of them intensely interested in the woman in front of them.

"A Titan slipped through and slaughtered hundreds of people!"
Y/n's sinister tone sent shivers up their spines. "The leader of the Titan worshippers was pregnant, and, during the cleanup, her body was discovered by two cadets. Not even a minute later, her body birthed her baby! That baby was known as Kuklo, born from the vomit of a Titan, The Titan's son."

Her eyes scanned the faces of each of the cadets, gaze hovering on Eld and Gunther momentarily before she continued her story.

"He was chained, beaten, ridiculed and gawked at like some kind of animal! Until a noble family bought him, the son of that family using him as a punching bag while trying for the military. The daughter, however, was so frightened by the son of a Titan living under their house, that she took matters into her own hands and set off to kill him!"

She stomped her foot on the ground, making some of the people listening jump and some of them even screamed.
Smirking at them, she started walking around the room, creeping behind all of them.

"Trembling with fear, the daughter, Sharle, made her way into the dungeons below her home, knife held in front of her.
Upon reaching the cell where kuklo was chained in, she realised that he wasn't a Titans son and was, in fact, human."

Taking a small pause, y/n regained her breath.

"She took it upon herself to teach Kuklo to read, write and speak and the two of them became very close friends over the years. And, when Kuklo was fifteen, Titan worshippers who found out of his existence, broke into the manor and murdered Sharle's father and some of the servants.
Kuklo, having escaped, killed the one who freed him and ran to find Sharle, her elder brother protecting them with a sword.
And, in rage of his father's death, the brother slashed Kuklo's eye!"

Y/n dramatically dragged her finger vertically down her right eye, making some cadets grimace at the thought of their eyes being slashed.

"Kuklo and Sharle ran to shiganshina, hiding from the Military police and stayed there for a few months until the Survey corps first authorised expedition beyond the wall in fifteen years.
The last expedition before this one was the first time a Titan was ever killed. The first time ODM gear was ever used!"

Y/n grinned, revelling in all of the shocked gasps and horrified expressions of her keen listeners.

"That's right kiddos! ODM gear was invented less than seventy years ago and wasn't used properly until Kuklo The Titan's Son joined the Survey Corps!"

Just as she was about to continue on with her story, someone burst through the door, panting and gasping for breath.

"Four titans heading this way!" She yelled breathlessly, making everyone's hearts drop to their stomachs.

"Come on!" The booming voice of Erwin made everyone who was still in their gear jump into action and run toward the door.

"You lot!" Y/n called over her shoulder as she pulled on her jacket. "Get your gear on, we're probably gonna have to move out!"

"Yes!" They saluted her before running off to get their gear.

Y/n huffed, grabbing hold of her swords and pulling herself up to the rooftop of the building they were staying in outside the walls.
