1 YEAR AGO: MARLEY

"So, this is Marley, huh." I put my hand on Eren's shoulder, shocked as I gazed on into the horizon.

So this is what resided beyond the walls...

"Yeah...beautiful." He spoke, what sounded like envy in his voice.

I remained silent. We stayed that way for a while.

"If you think about it, this sort of feels like a return back to the Scouts' original mission." Hange spoke, a smile on her face. Levi deadpanned and I nodded.

"Yeah. Pretty much."

Fond memories clouded my vision as I recalled. Who the hell would've thought I'd miss the days my comrades were eaten alive?

ATTACK ON TITAN

We had gotten off the boat. I was shocked at how...lively...this place looked in comparison to Wall Rose.

"My friends! Let me welcome you to the continent of Marley! The Azumabito will be waiting. May I escort you?" Onyankapon greeted, tilting his hat at us.

"Hey, Onyankapon!" Hange greeted.

The two exchanged pleasantries. That was until some...thing...moved past us. I watched the weird specimen in silent shock.

"Hey! Is that a horse!"

"Maybe!"

"Hey! Horse! Wait up! Let me feed you!"

Hange, Connie and Sasha called out, embarrassing us to another level.

"Just act like you don't know 'em." Jean put a hand on my back. I shrugged and fiddled with the hem of my skirt.

"Gotta put 'em on a leash. Watch when they start feeding the car carrots." Levi snarled, watching the overjoyed trio with tired eyes.

"Give 'em more credit than- wait, are they buying carrots?" Onyankapon also deadpanned, watching them in confusion.

Sasha and I stopped a stand where they were selling what looked like frozen milk.

"Can we please...have some?" The girl murmured, entranced by the food.

"Sure!" The Marleyan guy scooped some and fave us each a cone. I shrugged and tasted some.
