Attack on Titan/Zelda crossover - To Hyrule and Back Again

Chapter Eleven: Saviour of the City

Sasha's Point of View

Yesterday, I made a vow that I would drive an arrow through a certain person's heart.

Surprisingly enough, that person's last name is Arrowheart. Jessica Arrowheart.

I've never said something so violent like that, or anything violent of that nature.

But kidnapping me and my friends and even torturing one of them?

You have crossed the line.

Jessica, after I stole her bow and escaped along with Armin, had decided to relocate Connie. What they want with him, I don't know, but every time I even come within 5 meters of the wagon he's in some people with dark blue uniforms labelled "FR" escort me away. I don't bother to retaliate when they do that; instead, I'm devising a much larger plan to find Connie and get the hell out of this town.

"Armin, you okay, buddy?" I optimistically ask. He's still shaken from what happened yesterday, and honestly, I don't blame him. He's lying down on a bench in an alleyway, and I'm sitting beside him; I'm taking this time to let him heal and stay with him rather than go out and recklessly fight someone, leaving him behind. Nope. He is healing faster than Connie, though.

"I've been better," Armin softly replies.

"Are you well enough to stand up and help me find some money so we can go eat breakfast?"

He weakly chuckles in response, and then dozes off back to sleep a few minutes later.

Looking down on his face, thinking about how he'd never harm anybody and has always been a peaceful person makes me wonder why someone would do this to him. It adds to the flame burning in my mind, and the fact that they could be doing anything to Connie terrifies me - I have to get him back, and I have to do it today. I'm not sure where he's headed but I know the purpose of relocating him is to hide him from me.

It's 'cuz they know I'm gonna come after them. Running ain't going to do anything, idiots. Heh...

. . .

"Sasha, you have to think broader. Okay - we find Connie and get him back, then what?"

"We get out of here!"

"And go where?"

"Yarckel, maybe? I don't know! All I care about is saving Connie! Stop questioning me and go back to sleep," I tell Armin, who's apparently "better in just a few hours." Did he even get beaten that badly?

"Can't go back to sleep. Well, while you figure that out, I'm going to find one of those food-stands so we can eat something. What do you want?"

I rise my head and look at him questioningly.

"Anything."

Currently, we're still in an alleyway, just not the same one. I've been drawing on the map that dude gave me, which surprisingly wasn't confiscated by Jessica when we were "hospitalized," as Armin seems to be calling it; speaking of that hospitalized situation, escaping that place was pretty freaking difficult. It's not that people kept trying to shoot at us or anything, it's just that I had no idea where to go. Not to mention Armin, who couldn't even move.

Long story short, Jessica left us unattended and fortunately we were in all the right places at all the right times, and we ended up finding a back exit without stirring up trouble, but it still took quite a while. I think they may know who I am, especially after trying to see Connie in that carriage a few times, so hopefully they don't decide I'm a higher priority than him and come after me.
