Wall Sina - Stohess District
No One's PoV

No one could believe what they were seeing.

There, staring out into nothing for everyone to see, was the unmistakable face of a Titan. Everyone stared and gasped, gaping at the heart dropping discovery that the Titans were closer to home than what had been originally thought.

While everyone's attention was focused on the Titan, (F/N) felt a slight ache in the back of her head. It increased in pain and suddenly the same head-splitting, burning pain returned, only this time much worse.

Stars and black spots were dancing around her line of sight, fading in and out rapidly. The dizzying sight made her want to throw up and she gripped her head with one hand while the other was outstretched behind her, desperately searching for something to hold onto and use for support. She took a step backwards, then another, and lost her balance, falling onto something somewhat soft. The black splotches began to take over as well as ideals and a voice that didn't belong to her. Everything faded to darkness and (F/N) was left alone to the constraints of her mind.

Your PoV

I almost thought I was blind for moment. I saw nothing—literally nothing. Have you ever tried to close one eye and see through that closed eye? That's the best way I can describe this literal nothing that I was 'seeimg'. I could've been standing or floating for all I knew. And then a breeze blew past along with small particles of colour which gently rained past me. Then more came tumbling in and soon the ground was enveloped with a large layer of sand. I looked up and suddenly everything above me turned dark but was soon streaked with odd strokes of millions of lights. I would've taken a step forward out of surprised instinct but the sharp tug and sound of metal clashing onto each other forcefully halted me. Chains were tightly attached to my wrists and ankles, binding me down to... where am I?

"Do you see these chains? They bind you here, similar to how the Walls should keep the people contained within it."

There was no one here and yet a voice echoed and spoke from everywhere and nowhere. I tried searching for some sort of sign, a figure, anything that would at least have vocal chords. There was nothing but sand and the odd dotted, star-streaked sky.

"You need to stay in the Walls. It was created for a reason. Everyone is safe behind this paradise."

The chains shackled loudly as I pulled against them and screamed out into the air, "no! This isn't paradise! People, good people, are dying because we're not free. Do you not understand?!"

Silence.

The same breeze which carried the grains of sand flowed past me once again except somehow it felt different. It almost felt like someone's breath which was carrying the sound of someone's laughter but there wasn't anything funny to laugh about. What?
