Never Always Alone

Shiganshina Falls

There was a young boy, with fair skin, wearing a shirt with his jacket over it and a dark pants, sleeping under a tree in the field in Wall Maria. The field was huge with beautiful flowers. The sky was blue and clear with the sun shining brightly on the ground. Birds were singing peacefully while flying in the sky. He always go there because he likes that place to be his private area to do his own personal stuff. He was staring at the sky with a blank expression until he felt his eyelids were heavy and went to sleep. After a while, he woke up from a nightmare with a frightened face and gasped. He then saw a young girl with long raven black hair, having violet amethyst eyes, beautiful pale skin and a red scarf around her neck above him.

Shiganshina District, Year 845

Eren: What? Mikasa...

Mikasa: We should be getting back right now. Dr. Grisha and your mother will be wondering where we are.

Eren: What are we doing here?

Mikasa: You must have been sleeping deeply if you still haven't come to your senses.

Eren: No. It just feels like I had this really long dream or something. What was it about? I cannot remember.

Mikasa: Ereh, why are you crying?

Eren: What?

He wiped his eyes, not knowing the reason why he cried. He and Mikasa stood up carrying multiple pieces of wood on their back ready to go back to their parents before they get very worried.

Mikasa: Ereh, you are ready to go?

Eren: Yup, ready to go.

The Titans outside the Walls were built to keep any of them out from coming in because all they do is feast on human flesh forever until there are none. The Walls were built 50 meters tall with on top have cannon artillery in case they need to use it to kill the Titans. The Wall has only one huge gate for people to pass through with guards watching.

Pastor: It was by the God's great wisdom that the Walls were built! The Walls are his divine work! No one must be allowed to defile the Walls!

The citizens of the Shiganshina District were just minding their own business, ignoring the pastor and just spending the day like buying groceries like fish and bread, etc. The city was very big with a huge river passing through. The population is quite big since it is a city with towers and the tallest which is a headquarters in the center of the city. Eren and Mikasa were on their way to the gates from the place they went to just now.

Eren: Don't you dare tell anyone I was crying!

Mikasa: I will not. Do not worry. Still, crying without even knowing the reason why...You should have your dad give you a checkup.

Eren: Don't be stupid! I cannot tell him!

???: What are you talking about, Eren?

Eren: Mr. Hannes...

Hannes: Did Mikasa nag you about something?

Eren: What makes you think like it matters to you? Whoa, you reek of alcohol!

There were other soldiers sitting together drunk with red face while drinking alcohol down to their throats not doing their jobs properly.

Soldier: It is like... Come on, you know?

Eren: You are drinking again.

Hannes: Do you two young kids want to join us?

Eren: No thanks, I do not want to be a drunkard. Actually...Do you not have work?

Hannes: Yes! We are guarding the gate today! We were stuck here all day, so we ended up getting hungry and thirsty. If some booze happens to get into our drinks, so what? It is no big deal.
