So this is my fate.

Unable to move, blood trickling down my face. Barely conscious. I'm pathetic. I fought all this time, I flew through training and got into the survey corps, and this is how I die?

What did I do to deserve this? Why is everyone dying left and right?... Why didn't I get to say goodbye? WHY!? TELL ME, FATE, WHY!?

"Why do all the best people die, mom?"

"When you're in a field of flowers, which ones do you pick?"

"The prettiest ones".

I see. That's why. That's why we're all suffering like this. In the end, I suppose it's not worth it then. Why do we all fight if fate is going to pick us one by one and send us towards our doom? I've always hated fate. She's so cruel.

I wince in pain as I roll onto my back and hold my sword to the sky. I've had a good life because all of you were in it. Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Levi. Jean, Marco, Connie, Sasha. Bertolt and Reiner, Krista and Ymir. Even Annie. But in the end, I couldn't return the favour. I couldn't make your lives bright the way you did mine. I suppose that's my biggest regret of all.

I close my eyes and let the hand of the 10-metre titan engulf me. Tears swell up beneath my eye lids.

Fate may be cruel, but she always wins.








No. That's a load of bull and I know it.

"There's land made of ice! And a lake that stretches out as far as the eye can see!" Armin's smile is as wide as it could possibly be.

"Stop pulling our legs Armin, there's no such thing." Eren shrugs off his comment with ease and I give him a small punch.

"No, it's real! They call it the ocean and get this! It's made entirely out of salty water!". Even I can't believe him this time.

"Why would something as precious as salt be lying around in the water?"

"I get it... You two probably don't believe me. But regardless..." He looks at me with sparkling eyes. I could have stared at them for hours. They filled me with hope and strength. "I want to get there someday, and I won't stop until I do!"

Eren and I share warm smiles before projecting them to Armin.

"Then let's make that happen, us three and Mika. We promise."





-Current Day-

I slice the Titan's hand open and come crashing to the ground.

If I die here, then I'll never win. I'll never get to see the ocean like I promised Armin.

I ignore all the broken bones in my body and wipe the blood from my brow.

Fate has no right to tell me whether I live or die.

Forcing myself to stand, I let out a scream. I scream to the heaven's and order them to hear me.

Because I control it!


Instinctively, I bring my hand towards my mouth. I'm just about to bite it when-

The fist of the 15-metre Titan behind me hits the 10-metre square in the face, caving it in. It then rushes past me and knocks the other down to the ground. He stomps on his nape over and over again until the beast is defeated.

Then he releases a scream like none I've ever heard before. I cover my ears to protect them from the piercing sound.

Mikasa rushes to me and helps me to remain on my feet.

"(Y/n)... That... Is the manifestation of Humanity's Rage."

I roar in unison with the beautiful beast in front of me. Sorry, Eren, I can't believe I was ever going to give up... Just wait for me a little longer okay?


Fate can be fickle. But she really comes through when you need her.
