"How in the hell can you smell this thing?" I asked. "There's, like, a million things wrong with what is going on right now." We all carried rifle son our back as we marched through the trees searching for some giant boar Sasha was talking about.

"I believe she is leading us in the right direction." Reiner argued. "She's a hunter. She knows what she's doing."

"Just because she eats like a boar doesn't mean she knows how to sniff one out." I said.

"Hey!" Sasha yelled. "Quiet."

"Think she even heard me?" I asked Reiner.

"Hell if I know." He whispered back.

"Get down." Connie ordered. Reiner and I both crawled over to the ledge where the two others were. On the other side sat a titanic-sized boar. It was sleeping, but it sure seemed enough to scare the crap outta Reiner.

"I, uh... think we should head back." He shuttered.

"Why?" Connie asked.

"How can we catch that?" Reiner questioned. "It's impossibly large." Sasha quickly walks over to him and lands a blow to his face twice over.

"We're going nowhere, coward." She huffed. "We're catching that animal. How would your ancestors feel about this act of cowardice?!"

Something lit up inside Reiner as he replied, Yes! You're right! We will catch this animal!" The boar suddenly shot awake and charged at us.

"Why'd you scream, you idiot?!" I cursed at Reiner.

"I just got excited!" He defended. We were able to get out of the way before the boar started to run off.

"CHARGE!" Sasha screamed.

"CHARGE!" Connie mirrored.

"Son of a bitch" I muttered as I followed Reiner, chasing after the speeding animal. An arrow flew past my head and right into the skull of the boar.the animal moaned before falling limp tot he ground. I looked back and saw Sasha with a bow in her hand.

"Why'd you have us charge?" Reiner asked.

"Needed to concentrate." She cheered as she ran by us and pulled the arrow out the of the monstrous boar.

"Son of a bitch!" I heard to our right.

"Why is this boar our main objective?" I asked.

"Meat is the most succulent thing there is." Jean explained. "People eat that shit up in the interior, and for good reason."

"Why can't we make a dish without meat?" I asked. "We eat that anyways."

"This boar is supposed to have the tastiest meat of anything within the walls." Jean explained.

"Do you have any idea of where it could be besides a simple word of mouth?" Armin asked.

"Well... no." Jean answered. "But I know it's out here!"

"We're lost." Annie deadpanned.

"Agreed." I replied.

"We're not lost!" Jean argued.

"If you say so." I chuckled. A loud squeal echoed through the trees, and Jean took off running.

"Hold up!" Armin yelled as the tall teen ran off.

Annie and I followed the other two until I heard Jean scream, "Son of a bitch!" I peeked around him and saw Big Bro's group standing over an enormous beast. "How?"
