I Will Come for You

Part 3

A price? "And what would that be?" Eren swam over to the Oracle who was now holding the strange potion. It's glow reflected off the Oracle's murky eyes.

His crooked smile rose to his face as he handed Eren the potion. "Pay heed young prince, for if you drink this potion you will never be able to return to the ocean without the result of death."

Eren's eyes widen slightly frightened. W-What?! DIE? But...If it means I can see Levi... The teen took a hold of the potion and opened it carefully. After looking at the mysterious liquid for a while Eren made his decision. He closed his eyes and poured the liquid down his throat making sure to swallow every drop.

Suddenly feeling sick Eren gripped his stomach gagging. The Oracle reached out to him and picked him up. Eren looked up at the Oracle trying to ask what was happening but, he felt his consciousness fading.

"Don't worry young prince. When you wake your wish will have been granted. I just hope that this is what you wanted. Goodnight Eren Yeager." 

Eren went limp having those words echo through his mind.

The sound of seagulls and the salty air. The waves crashing against the sand. What's missing? I don't know. Where am I? 

Eren slowly opened his eyes. he felt the warm sun brush against his face. Just then the teen remembered. He quickly sat up and saw that his glossy blue tail is now a pair of human legs.

Wow. Now I can go see Levi! Eren smiled and noticed another thing. He was wearing strange clothing with the watch in his front pocket. But at the moment Eren didn't care. He quickly tried to stand up but, as quickly as he tried to stand he fell. This is going to take a while to get used to...Okay slowly. 

Eren used the large boulder next to him as a support to help him successfully stand up. There...Now...Wait...Where do I go exactly? Levi never motioned where he was going or where he lives. Shit. Eren sighed but then perked up as he saw a blonde haired boy appear. 

Huh? Another human and he dosn't look that far off from my age! Maybe he knows where Levi is! "Hey human! Do you know where I can find Levi Ackerman?" 

The boy looked terrified as soon as Eren mentioned "Levi Ackerman". The boy slowly creeped out from the bush he was hiding behind."W-What do you want with a cruel man like him?" 

Cruel? What is he talking about? Maybe there is another Levi... "Sorry I may be thinking of someone else. Anyway could you help me? I'm not quite used to these human legs."

The boy looked confused but, slightly interested in my words. "Sure and by the way my names Armin Arlot. You can just call me Armin."  The frail boy walked over and put Eren's arm over his shoulder. They both started walking to the forest.

Hmm...I wonder... "Well...If you don't mind me asking, what kind of person is this Levi of yours?"

Armin looked at Eren and sighed. "Well I should know everything. After all he is my superior officer and captain."
