When I was a child, I had a desire. A desire to be a soldier and join the Survey Corps, right after graduating. I wanted to be the symbol of Freedom and to be the ray of hope. I wanted to help and save mankind from brink extinction.

Now, that I am a graduated trainee and an official member of the Survey Corps, I have duties to fulfill and I'm willing to sacrifice everything, even my life just to save and protect people.

I'm Petra Ral, willing to die for the sake of mankind.

Sudden changes were made since, last week. First, Commander Shadis gave his position to Captain Erwin. Second, our new captain bore a name, Levi. Yes, Levi as in Levi the famous thug of the Underground Capital District and lastly, he just handpicked his squad members yesterday.

And about the recent expedition, we failed. Why? Because both of our left and right flank was half destroyed, almost leaving no survivors. Squad leader Flagon died along the expedition as well as Captain Levi's companions, namely Farlan and Isabel. All of the fallen soldiers died some gruesome deaths plus the expedition resulted into a fail, also making their deaths nothing but pointless ones.

I sat on the bed where I was lying and opened the window. I was quickly welcomed by the warm breeze of the wind. I folded my arms over the window sill and rested my head as I watch the sunset. My eyes were slowly closing when someone knock on my door. Well, I could tell who's that someone because of it's annoying loud knock patterns. " Hey, Petra are you still awake? " A loud cheerful voice started.

" I am. " I said and walked towards the door when Hanji opened it widely and entered. Once she got closer to me she placed her hands over my shoulder and stared at me with exaggerated tears. " Hanji, what's wrong? " I asked with a confused look. 

" Petra, oh Petra! " She started using her sing-song voice. " W—what's wrong, Hanji. You're creeping me out. " I stuttered as I wave both my hands infront of me.

" You've been chosen! " She said and pulled me into a hug, which was really tight. " Ha—Hanji, stop it hurts! Stop it hurts! " I cried in pain as she quickly pulled away. " S—sorry, I forgot. " She said and give me a crooked smile.

After she released me, I sighed. " What do you mean I'm chosen? Chosen for what? " I asked, tilting my head on the side.

" It's a secret. " She smiled and pushed me out of my room. " H—Hanji what are you doing? " 

" The corporal would like you to come at his office, now. " She smiled and continued pushing me out of my room until I'm at the hallways.

" Wh—" Before I could even finished what I'm going to say, she shut the door behind me and I sighed. " Hanji. "

I was silently walking towards the corporal's office when I felt this nervousness coming all over me. At the first place why does he want me to come over to his office? And why am I feeling nervous? 

I shook all the thoughts as I faced the door of corporal's office. Before I knock, I sighed deeply. " State your name and bussiness. " A familiar cold voice welcome me right after knocking.

" Petra Ral, sir. Hanj— " I was cut off when his voice echoed through his room. " Come in. " He ordered and I quickly opened the door, peeking my head to see corporal working onto some paperworks which I assume Hanji had passed on.
