The walls weren't supposed to fall. The titans weren't supposed to invade. She wasn't supposed to be a soldier. Yet, all the above happened.
Eliora Smith wasn't set to follow her father's footpath as a soldier, content to being a midwife like her mo...

We walk out, seeing a whole wall of Titans. Hange and the others are already at the docks. She comes towards Levi and me. By the look on her face, I can tell the plan isn't good.
"Hey, shitty glasses," Levi says, noticing the same thing as his tone is noticeably softer.
"You understand," she starts when she gets closer. "It's finally here, you know. It's my turn. I want to look as cool as I possibly can right now, so just let me go, will you?"
I hug her, trying to keep my tears at bay. Levi is still stiff and unmoving beside me. Finally, he takes his fist and pushes it against her chest. "Devote...your heart." Swiftly, he turns on his heel, walking away from her.
She starts cackling. "That's the first time I've ever heard you say that! Oh and Eliora, Armin is the new Commander! Help him handle Levi!"
I rejoin the others, standing next to Levi as we watch our former Commander race towards the Titans like a madwoman. My gut clenches, watching one of the mother figures in my life leave on a suicide mission right in front of my eyes. The first Titan goes down when the crew announces the flying boat is repaired.
"C'mon, let's go!" I shout, practically pushing a few of them forward. I send one last glance back towards my godmother, feeling like I'm losing everyone in my life.
They're so close now as we push off into the water.
"Hange!" Armin screams in agony, looking out the window. I avoid looking at the scene, pulling him away and into my arms.
"It's going to be okay, Armin," I mutter, holding him close.
"We're taking off! Hold on!"
"See you, Hange," Levi mutters from beside me and I look up at him, a single tear rolling down my cheek. He wipes it away, looking down at me.
"I hope she says hello to my father for me."
Armin steps into his role after talking to Onyankopon about our fuel situation. "Okay, let's discuss our plan."
He draws what he thinks the Founding Titan looks like. "Captain Pieck, is this what The Founding Titan that you two saw looked like?"
"Yes, though it's not as if I got a good look at it. Basically, it's a big pile of stupidly moving bones, like a bug. Normally, the body controlling it would be in its nape."
Levi speaks up. "But we can't be sure, considering what the War Hammer Titan did."
Armin nods. "In other words, we don't know where Eren is."
"Even if we don't, we could blow the whole thing away," Pieck adds. "Just like the way you flattened Liberio's Navy Port and left nothing behind. Your Colossus Titan could do it."
Armin looks conflicted with himself, probably at the thought of killing Eren. "True. That would be the most effective way of doing it, but only if we've tried and failed to have a dialogue with Eren. Only if that is the only way left to stop him. It's our last resort."
