The days passed by as usual in the regiment. The commander was planning a mission outside the walls and there were mixed emotions about it. Some people were excited, some more apprehensive.

Illyria was sat in the courtyard with her friends, enjoying the nice weather and listening to the idle chatter about the upcoming mission. The plan was to go as far out as possible using the gate in the Utopia district, as much of the ground on that side of the wall had been left unexplored, though the motives for the mission were unclear. It had been a long tiring day of training and she was grateful for the few hours of rest. The heat from the sun beat down on her back, warming her skin and the refreshing breeze whipped through her hair. She smiled, feeling quite content. Until she heard a loud shout in the distance, shattering the peaceful atmosphere. She glanced over to the source of the ruckus and smiled as she stood to her feet, watching the scene before her.

Jean and Eren were engaged in a heated discussion, having opposing views on the mission that would be taking place next month.

“I’m telling you, its pointless exploring a wasteland, all we will be doing is risking our lives out there and we won’t find anything. Titans would have destroyed it all already!” Jean shouted, giving Eren an almighty shove. Eren was instantly fired up and getting in Jean’s face and pushing him back with just as much force.

“You don’t know that! What if there is something on the other side?” he shouted back. Jean chuckled.

“There’s something alright, it’s called death.” Jean bit back. Eren grabbed Jean by the shirt roughly and clobbered him right in the face. Illyria's eyes narrowed slightly at the scene and she ran off to break up the fight. She didn’t care much for Jean, she thought he was an arrogant and rude prick, but Eren was one of her best friends, and she would be damned if she just stood by and watched him fight over something so stupid. If he were to get caught, he’d be in big trouble.

“Hey! Enough! Break it up!” she shouted. Jean had pushed Eren to the floor and had started to kick him. She grabbed Jean’s arm and pulled him back. Without thinking, Jean took a swing at Illyria, his first connecting right to her face. Her head snapped back and she stumbled, but she didn’t fall, despite how hard he had hit her. Jean froze, realising instantly what he had just done and regretting it immediately.

Illyria wiped her lip with the back of her hand, noticing the blood and spat out a mouthful of blood at her feet. She was completely enraged. Her fierce eyes locked onto a very fearful looking Jean and he held his hands up in surrender.

“Shit, I’m so sorry Illyria, I didn’t mean to...” Illyria felt pure rage course through her veins and she saw red as she lunged at Jean, effectively tackling him to the ground and straddling him. Without missing a beat she began to punch him viciously, she struck him twice to the face and he grabbed her and quickly switched their positions, pinning her to the ground and yelling at her to stop. She didn’t listen, grabbing his head she threw her head forward as she brought his down, smashing their heads together in a savage head butt.

Her head connected with his face, his right hand coming up to touch his nose and she punched him again, making him fall from his position atop her and roll onto the ground. She swung her body around on the ground and kicked her leg forward, booting him brutally in the side of the head before she propelled herself up to her feet.
