Humanities's Strongest And Humanities's Kindest

The Final Hours

 An hour later,

My group rode on wards successfully into the forest of giant trees. Three were dead in ten minutes, two stood now, A tall, tan man and I.

We rode in silence, " What's your name?" He finally asked. " Petra, you?' He smiled, "That's a pretty name, Petra, i like it." I grinned, waiting for him to tell me his name, " What's your name?" I finally asked again. He sighed, " My name isn't important, i'm going to die anyways. But i will die a noble death at the very least." I looked down at my horse's bridle as we continued in silence. A flare shot up into the blue sky about five miles away from us in Levi's direction. My eyes grew wide, " We need to head that way!" The man turned his horse to the left and we rode at full speed. I steered my horse in front of his not stopping for anything. " Hey! Slow down a bit!" I ignored him and rode faster. I saw Levi sitting upon his horse in peace and halted my horse. The man behind me had troubled stopping his horse and broke a branch. Levi snapped his head in the direction of the harsh sound and stopped his horse, " Petra, that was a stupid move earlier, moving away from your captain, come over here into your formation." I looked back at the tan man to see he was gone, along with his horse.

I got into my assigned position and rode on with Levi and my squad. I tried to remember if i had seen the tan man's face before and his name popped into my head, Bertolt Hoover.

Levi looked back at me with his intimidating eyes. I examined his expression for a moment, he looked tired and depressed as usual. I smiled and his eyes lite up.  " I'm glad to see you're alright Petra." He whispered. Eld turned his head towards Levi at the sound of his whisper. Levi turned his head towards him and sighed, " What, Eld?" He shook his head slightly and turned his head forward.

A flare shot up from somewhere in the forest ahead of us.  " That's commander Erwin's flare, sir!" Levi stopped his horse. " You need to go without me, Erwin needs me, i belive they caught the female titan." Everyone wore a broken smile on their face and clenched their fists to their left breasts in honor of humanities's strongest soilder.
