I sit up and yawn stretching my back on the hard strong likes of these towering trees. I've been waking up earlier and earlier lately. Titans terrorize the city from afar. I hear the screams occasionally of the ones who were left. I can't save them. Too many Titans roam the streets of our once great capital. I sigh and clear my throat speaking to myself "I wonder if they all got away safe. I hope they aren't far." I breathe out taking in my situation. I start by searching the forest which always hordes secrets and dangers. I transform and fly down the tree letting my wings barely hit the bark on the neighboring trees. I close and Barrell to the ground, opening my wings at the last moment. I claws scrape the freshly tainted grass. In the distance I feel distress, something in a struggle. I head towards the sound. I watch beside my monitoring my surroundings. Alone. The most dangerous way to travel. No friends or allies to watch my back I tredge onward. Into the dark Forrest, Patches of light shine through the leaves. The little gaps that produce even the slightest light, lighting my way through the dark. I tense as I'm almost at the sound. The sounds almost emancipates my arrival. I breathe in and open my eyes trying to figure out where the sound I've been Following is coming from. I see no sign of restless movement or freinds, Just grazing of the wild horses. They must've gotten into a territorial fight and I'm just here interrupting. I spot one in the distance. I turn back into my human form as the wild horses flee from me. Faster than I've ever seen. Scared. Frightened. Just like me. The horse that hasn't left walks towards me. It wears the badge of the military police. A horse. The squad..."they mustve come this way." Hope has never flooded my eyes quicker than it did at that moment. I mount the horse, grab the reins and head farther into the forest. The forest that might hold the answers that I need. The true becomes more dense as I further on my journey into the forest. Trees on the floor branches broken almost as if it was on purpose? People. Maybe from the town. I Ponder this is a continue for grabbing the rains and washing the horse faster faster hoping maybe they're there. Somewhere ahead in the field somewhere ahead in the forest maybe the clearing. I cross my fingers as I mush the horse, continuing through the branches and brambles broken on the floor.  The horse almost coming to a stop, when instead leaping over it, as if it trusts me, as if it knows I'm alone. That I'm searching for my freinds. Can continue on the branch of switching past our face the wind through both of our hair feel connected with nature, the horse, the path, everything. As we continue to settle White Noise begins to clear in my head. I wince in pain closing my eyes, gripping the rains tighter. The horse coming to a complete stop in the middle of the empty field. We have come upon that I havent noticed for some reason, some things in my head. "Eren..." I exhale sharply at the pain...an image of a plain. Almost like the one me and the horse and in the middle of. No, something's not the same, the trees. they're not trees they are shorter, their are bushes around the trees its also surrounded by grass, not weeds. My mind pans out of the area, showing where I am and where they are. the straight path, straight through far. they may be a day journey maybe two. I don't know if that's where they are....cause my head? It can't be a coincidence, I grab the reins and whip them forward to continue on my journey. I have to hope... "maybe they're there". The scenic route would be nice if I weren't running for my life. Titans werent running Rampage. That's where we live, no changing it no denying it. I feel blessed to be able to find Bliss with all this madness. Maybe one day this madness will be over, you find a cure for the Titans, we wipe them out? doesn't matter to me, I just want a normal life before everything, before the first Titan believe that me wishing, how funny. I'm in talking to myself way too much for what there is to do when your with no one. Not Levi, not eren, not ex-friends, no one, just the nature, this horse, and the trees. The tree shake, the horse stops in his tracks as if he knew I said to. We both analyze, I shake knowing I was too caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't notice, that I didn't hear. I exhale as soldiers the horses If We Are One I shake it the feeling how strange how weird what's happening. The both breathe steadily looking into the forest for the trees have shaking with the leaves have fallen. I brace not knowing if it's a Titan a special titan, a colossal Titan. so I'm sure everything's a mess. I close my eyes and pray, pray it's not another Titan. I can't take this, not now. The horse. Scared so scared, still breathing, ears back, breathing nothing. The shadowy figure appears from the forest, large shadow becoming smaller, my mind Ponder's. "What, what is this?" I'm confused, I'm lost, I'm still. I breathe one last time, facing the worst. we both breathe sharply looking into the forest. More white noise and I shutter letting go of the reigns in case I need to shift. The only freind I have. This horse. I laugh in my head. "Am I really going to protect this horse? I have too. He never ran like the others. He knew I needed help. I need to return the favor, no matter what." From the shadow a rabbit jumps causing the horse to stumble and run forward. I had let go of the reigns, my head jolts forward slapping my head against the horses mane. Knocked out. All I hear is birds, then silence, then panicked breathing. Then....black.
