A month had passed and you finally stood on the wooden deck of the passenger liner as it pulled into the port of Marley. Your heart beat fast in your chest, a multitude of emotions churning in your mind.
This was enemy territory. And completely foreign. Even with Onyankapon at your side, you still had no experience in this world. From the technology to the social normalities, everything was new to you. And one slip-up could put everyone's lives at stake and risk blowing the cover of the entire mission.
Despite this, you couldn't block out the growing feeling of curiosity bubbling inside you. You stood at the bow of the ship, your ankle-length pleated skirt billowing in the wind. The salty air was cool on your face as the harbor of the new world grew closer and closer.
You stood next to Hange, Levi, and Onyankapon, who were also enjoying the view. "Pretty cool, huh?" You mused, wanting to break the silence.
Hange nodded, "If you think about it, this is like a return to the Scouts' original objective." She commented with a smile.
You hummed in agreement, as you noted Hange's grin. You hadn't seen her this animated since before Shiganshina. It was refreshing to say the least. The rest of the group remained silent as they took in the new sights. Before you knew it, people began lining up at the exits.
The ship had finally stopped moving, and they lowered the ramps for people to get off of. Maneuvering the crowd was stressful, as you tried to keep tabs on all of your friends like a mother goose herding her goslings, making sure no one got left behind or wandered off.
There was safety in numbers, especially in a place like this, so it was imperative that you all stick together.
The harbor was littered with market stalls and brightly colored fashion. WWomen paraded in elegant puffy-sleeved dresses, their long trains billowing behind them as they navigated the bustling crowd. Men, clad in crisp suits or sturdy work attire, pipes hanging from their mouth meandered the port, their outfits complete with polished shoes and suspenders. Your eyes darted from right to left, trying to take it all in.
There was so many new things, it was honestly overwhelming. New technologies everywhere, including a flash from what you assumed was the camera that Grisha had mentioned in his 'photograph' from Eren's basement.
Caught up in the whirlwind of activity, you found yourself overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the world surrounding you. Even the most mundane objects seemed to hold you in a curious grip.
Together with your companions, you stood in silence, taking in the vibrant show unfolding before your eyes.
"I'd like to officially welcome you all to the continent of Marley!" Onyankapon's booming voice sounded over the crowd, as he tipped his hat towards you, "The Azumabitos are waiting. May I escort you?"
