Titania's pov

The first time I shifted was the first time I saw other people, the ones in green, inside my forest.

*flashback*

I had been living in the forest comfortably for two years now. I was heading back to home tree from a run to the river that cut through the forest on the furthest side of the forest from the wall. It is easy running and jumping from tree to tree, over the years from constantly being chased by giants, running and jumping. I have now a perfect athletic body. I had found dead and eaten bodies in the forest which I collected weapons and clothes from, I had no idea how to use the flying gear so I left that alone.

It was a smooth journey back to base and a giant comes into view, it was running, but it doesn't even notice me goes straight past me. This has never happened before. I was very curious, so I followed it to the best of my abilities. I heard shouting. I couldn't understand it very well.

When I got closer I saw people. Actual people. They were wearing the green cloaks the dead wore as well as my saviour. The people they were surrounded by 3 giants. There were only two people, standing back to back. I watched and observed them.

"We better finish these titans quick before more come" one shouted. I think they are calling these things . . . titans?

"Yeah, I'm with you" the other replied. They jumped and started taking them out. I started to leave them, it looked like they could handle it and I didn't know how they'd react to me. But I was so intrigued with the intruders that I didn't hear the titan creeping behind me. So when I turned around I was terrified as it stretched its hand towards me.

Instantly I jumped and started heading in any direction. It was fine because I knew this forest better than the back of my hand. It was gaining on me, being the closest titan to me in two years. I was panicking so much and not thinking straight that on one of my jumps I slipped.

I started to fall, but it felt like in slow motion. I saw my life flash before my eyes. The day I was abandoned, when I found the river and fruit trees surrounding it and when I started working on home tree to make it comfortable. All my ups and downs of my short life, the terror and happiness of small things. It all flashed by me in a instant. But one stuck out.

"kill or be killed" Was I going to just let myself fall and be killed? Or was I going to get out of here? Which one? Was I going to let myself give up? Or honour my saviour's wishes?

I opened my eyes and grabbed my sword, that in my panic I forgot I had. I stabbed it into the tree I was falling by and let it slow down my fall until I was completely stopped. I looked at the sword and it looked like it was about to snap any second. I quickly scanned around me and found the closest branch and swing. I kept hold of my weapon when I swung myself to the branch, braking it in the process but a broken weapon is better than no weapon at all.

I was on a low branch and in range of the titan, meaning I was in deep shit. It is still running towards me. I quickly jumped higher to get safer. As it nears me and reaches to grab me I jump and leap off a tree and I'm going straight to behind its neck, the only weak spot  I found out. But only. . .

It turned around. I didn't have a backup plan because I thought I moved fast enough for it to not respond. But now I was heading directly for its mouth. I sailed right through its mouth and hit the back of its throat, my sword stabbed through and keeping me from falling.

Its saliva coated the sword and reached the handle, made it slippery and hard to hold. I felt my grip slipping. I was hanging on as hard as I could, but to no avail. My fingers lost grip. And I slipped. As I fell I felt anger course through me hot and burning.

I was not going to die like this! Or any time soon! I WILL SURVIVE! I bit my lip very hard, hard enough to draw blood.

I felt an energy course through me. It made me feel powerful, indestructible even. The next thing I knew lightning surrounded me. And I felt. . . great. It looked like I ripped the titan open, but nothing really mattered. I didn't need to worry about anything. The form I was in made me look like a titan, around fifteen meters, with brown hair. The only difference between me and any other titan were the snake like scales that climbed from the bottom of my feet to my knees.

I smelt something, it smelt so nice. I started walking towards it. I walked towards the green fighting things. The other titans left them and went after me but with quick punches and kicks they were all dead. I stalked towards the things. They look tasty. I reach down to grab one of them but it jumps. The other tries to go for my neck, but I do remember titans can die that way, so I covered it. I felt a slight pain in my fingers from the sword.

"um . . . fred, what do we do?" the one on my neck said, but it didn't matter. They'd be dead soon. I moved my hand on my neck and flick him off. He flew and hit one of the trees hard, he fell to the ground. Dead.

I faced the one on the branch. He was standing there frozen in terror. I grabbed him by his upper torso and brought him to my mouth. My smile widened. I tilted my head back and dangled him in my mouth about to snap my mouth. When a shot of pain went through my mind.

I remember now. My saviour, my life, everything. I took him out of my mouth. And set him down on the branch again. I backed away. I looked around and see the man that I threw. That I killed. I started to run. My legs took me back to home tree.

When I was there I sat at the base. Still in my titan form. I didn't know what to do. What was I? How could I change back? Could I change back? Ok take a deep breath, calm yourself, and think logical;y. But nothing about that situation was logical! I drew in deep breaths. The adrenalin seeped from my body.

I felt really tired. I fell forward. I felt the muscle disappearing and I close my eyes. When I open them again I was in my body and the titan form I was in was disappearing around me. From the position I was in it looked like my body was at the nape of the neck. With that I assume my body became covered with the titan flesh and I became in control. Now what do I do?

As my thoughts wondered from the shock. I thought of how that man when he called to the other he said something specific. I need something specific as well. It looks like I am a titan, but that isn't a specific. What about tita? No, Tania? No. Maybe. . .

Titania. Yes.

My specific was now Titania.

*end of flash back*

So that was how I got my name.
