Blessed: Reader X AOT AU

Chapter 4: In His Garden

READERS POV

"Father...why am I here? I took down the Titan, I survived... I-I can't be..."

I looked up to my Lord, His garden of bright, marvellous flowers glowing extraordinarily.

This happened often, my Father would want to give me some information on something and take my soul in it's slumber to His kingdom to meet with Him.

Although... I couldn't quite grasp whether I was asleep... or if my time on earth had come to an end.

"Was...was my whole purpose on earth to just take down that beast ONE TIME and protect the people?"

He stopped and bent over to a small flower bush; one with bright, lime green flowers.

"A rebellious child...is like a petal which has fallen off of it's father tree. Once they break off  (sin and disobey) from the rules of the home, they slowly die to themselves."

His glowing form turned to me with a smile of pain...yet sympathy.

"You acted foolishly, left your family in distress... but what you say is true."

He placed His gentle hands on my shoulders.

"If you weren't out, many of my children would've died because of the foolish, corrupt actions of those men."

"So...will I be allowed to get my life back?"

"I never said your time was up."

I gave a massive sigh and relaxed within His grasp.

"Hehe, you really scared me there..."

Silence filled the area of the glowing garden...forcing my smile to fade.

"Now listen, my daughter ...when you wake up, your life will be forever changed."

"What do you mean?"

"You are being taken to a place that is very dangerous. In fact, you body is there already."

"What?!"

"Listen, (y/n), you are going to face a lot of pain in your last years. You are going to feel like I am not with you, like I've abandoned you. You are going to beg me to save you, you're going to cry yourself to sleep every night... but I assure you...it will be worth it in the end."

He gently gripped a piece of my hair and tucked it behind my ear.

He then bent down and left kisses on my eyes, loving me in all of His Fatherly ways; all the while rubbing my tears away.

"SNIFF... My Lord... I'm scared."

"Don't be, my daughter... you know for certain that I will always be with you.
  You've always wanted to know what your purpose was, right?"

I looked up to Him with eyes full of questions.

"This is it. So take this challenge head on, be brave, stand firm in your faith... because just like your mother, and all the people who disappeared, you becoming a soldier is no mistake either."

'Becoming...'

...

...

...

"A SOLDIER?!"

AUTHORS POV

You jumped up in bed, frozen as you stared around.

"Alrighty, you're done with your beauty sleep, rookie. Get up."

You quickly scrambled out of your bed, still clueless about what was going on...or where you were.

As the woman went searching for something in her boxes, you observed the room.

You were inside of a massive tent with a yellow tint to its fabric.

Inside the tent was a collection of beds, all with sleeping people inside.

"W...what is this...where am I?"
The woman grabbed you and pulled your arms up to check your build and health.

"Hm... another skinny one. We'll need to work some muscle into you."  You jumped at her words.

"What do you mean? Where's the promised, Riches and food?!"

You were so enraged and scared that you didn't even care about the untidiness of your hair which tickled and scratched your neck.

"...SIGH...Don't you know, you've been Blessed. ... "

She bent down to measure your legs, but when she came up...a terrible look of anger stuck to her features.

"...but the only bread you'll be getting is the bread you kill titans with..."

She walked over to a table before picking something up and staring back at me with a glare.

"And the only Riches you'll be getting is the single piece of gold around your neck when the war is over, doubt you'll get there though..."

! ! !

In the blink of an eye, all you could see was the woman raise whatever was in her hand up and throw it at you...the magnificent thing was the glowing figure (invisible to her) that pushed the blade out of your direction...causing it to land a few feet away from your head instead of dangerously close to it...where the woman had intended.

Trying to get rid of her irritation, the woman yanked back the curtain for you to get out. 

"Now get out there! ... these soldiers will straighten you out!"

Not wanting to anger her, you took your eyes off of the blade and ran to the door in fear, only to slowly peer out of it and take a single step onto the sandy ground.

'Where is everyone?'

You looked around urgently, only to catch eyes with the many wooden cabins around the area.

'This...this can't be...'

But oh it was... and you knew that for certain when you heard what sounded like a battle cry, turned your head and watched a soldier tackle another soldier behind the one cabin.

Quickly, you dashed over and slammed behind the cabin corner...slowly peeking out.

"Eh...?!"

You came out from behind the corner to see a bunch of soldiers training in combat.

To the left there were soldiers, to the right there were soldiers... the soldiers were even in the AIR... with 3DMG...

You were flabbergasted...but now you understood what He had told you... and, indeed, it was going to be a life of pain...

'Lord...what are you planning?'
