Kapitel 36: (35) A small cottage

Eren was pretty much in disbelief, he tried to play it off and act all casual as he walked away. Reiner and Bertholdt stood there unmoving, he suddenly shouted "Are we doing it!?" Looking back, Reiner nodded "Yea"

"What are you guys saying?" Eren still had no idea what was going on. Mikasa who was close by, rushed up and swung the sword in the duos direction. cutting the wrist of Reiner of and slicing the neck of Bertholdt, Mikasa looked at Eren and shouted "Run!". Before she could kill Bertholdt, she was pushed off the wall by Reiner and looked up.

Reiner and Bertholdt suddenly got engulfed in orange lightning while looking at Eren. Everyone looked in shock while Armin tried to get Eren out of there. In a split second, extremely hot steam exploded out sending everyone flying back. Yimir who was resting, had no time to react and was pushed away. Historia looked at her and shouted "YIMIR" A large hand was about to grab her but a flash of silver was seen just before she disappeared into the smoke.

On the other hand, Bertholdt who wanted to grab Yimir was surprised. He knew he was about to grab Yimir but she disappeared from his reach 'Maybe i wasn't fast enough' he didn't think about it anymore and waited for the signal.

...

Elsewere, Yimir had opened her eyes in a small room were she lay on a bed. She looked around and found that no one was there, so she got up and found that her injury's were completely healed, She sighed and opened the door to the room. in the hallway, there was a window which looked out to an open field. As she looked out, she saw a silver headed girl and blonde girl sitting under a large tree cross-legged. She looked for a little longer beofre the silver headed girl looked back at her and smiled. it seemed like she spoke to the blonde haired girl and they both stood up and walked over, Yimir quickly ran downstairs and opened the door.

"Aria, Annie?" Yimir was pretty confused. Before she got here, she was about to be grabbed by the colossal Titan. However, she didn't know what happened afterwards.

Aria looked at her and smiled "I see your injury's have all healed up, is it still saw?" She invited Yimir to sit down in the small living room and talk. As she sat down, Annie snuggled up next to her receiving a envious gaze from Yimir. "We haven't seen each other in a while."

Yimir nodded and said "I see your getting along with her well." Hearing this, Aria laughed and said "Don't worry you'll have you're time with Historia soon." Aria continued "Anyway, were quite far away from the battle at the moment so they wont interrupt us. I originally wanted to do this an easier way but we need your help.

By now, you should know that i'm a Titan shifter and my family was doing this for generations. My ancestor who first got hold of this power found a way to stop the so called 'curse' which was put on the eldians. But to do this we need all of the titan shifters in one place and the royal bloodline will have to be there as well." Yimir was nodding while taking in all the information. "I also have Royal blood, but it is different to the actual bloodline. Anyway, with the gathering of all the powers in a certain spot i will be able to get rid of the curse"

Yimir was silent though all of Arias speech and finally said "So that's why you wanted me to stay with the scouts. You also need Historia to come with you." Aria scratch her cheek in embarrassment and said "Well, there was another thing. If you go back, you'll be able to get a better relationship with Historia" Annie laughed and wanted to say something but was interrupted by a noise coming from the front door.

They turned and looked towards the door silently, creaking could be heard all the way down the hallway until it stopped in front of the room they 3 girls were sitting in. As the door opened a man in his 20-30's with small round glasses peaked his head through the doorway. He looked at the three girls in shock but calmed down when he saw Annie. Aria smirked and said "you must be Mr Yeager, we were just talking about something that could help you"

...

Zeke Yeager who wanted to look for a place to stay, came across a small detached house which was untouched. It seemed pretty quiet and was far enough away from any human settlement that he wouldn't get noticed. As he entered the house, he saw it to be untouched and went snooping around. Eventually seeing it clear, he made his way to the last room of the house to rest. What he didn't expect was 3 girls casually sitting around chatting, he looked at them and noticed the blonde girl who he had once met before.

Before he came here, he met 4 other people that would also go on this mission to capture the founding titan and the Attack Titan. This would be Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt and Marcel, however he was not in contact with any of them since he arrived on the island.

"Annie?"

The three girls looked over with different expressions, the silver haired girl looked calm and slightly smiled, Annie's expression seemed complicated and the other girl didn't really have an expression. "Hi Mr Yeager" Annie finally replied and asked him to sit down. He agreed and he asked about the other two people.

"This is Yimir, she is the current holder of the jaws titan" she pointed towards Yimir and continued "from what we heard from her, was that during the group of berthold, Reiner, Marcel and myself, she managed to eat Marcel and gain the power." She finally looked over and pointed towards Aria and blushed a little.

"This is Aria, she is also a titan shifter. However, she isn't either the Attack or Founder." Zeke instantly realised who she was and his eyes lightened up "You must be the current holder of the Lord Titan, i have heard much about you." Aria smiled and said "You must be Zeke Yeager, ive heard about you from my mother." They both exchange pleasantries before Aria wanted to get down to business.
