The War Hammer Titan's power pulses within me, a reminder of my newfound status and the weight of my family's expectations. Uncle Willy and Aunt Lara's sudden kindness feels suffocating, their lessons on Eldian history and behavior a bitter pill to swallow. Yet, the Titan's regenerative abilities shield me from physical pain, a small solace in this tumultuous world.
Despite their teachings, I can't shake the anger simmering within me. My parents' deaths still haunt my dreams, a constant reminder of the cruelty inflicted upon us by our own kind. Walking the streets, I witness firsthand the atrocities faced by ordinary Eldians, spared only by my status as a Tybur and the bearer of the War Hammer Titan.
The meeting with Uncle Willy is a tense affair, the news of Paradis's failed operation sending ripples of concern through our ranks. The loss of the Colossal and Female Titans is a blow we hadn't anticipated. But it's the revelation that the Founding Titan now rests in the hands of a boy named Eren Yeager that truly captures my attention.
Eren Yeager. The name echoes in my mind, triggering memories of letters from my mother, hinting at the enigmatic Owl's plans and his ties to a Yeager. Zeke's surname isn't lost on me either, adding another layer of intrigue to this tangled web of secrets and loyalties.
As the meeting progresses, I find myself drawn to the mystery surrounding the Owl, Eren Yeager, and the hidden truths buried within the walls of Paradis Island. My duty as a Titan may bind me to the Tybur legacy, but my curiosity and desire for justice stir a rebellious fire within me. Perhaps, in uncovering the secrets of the past, I can pave a new path for Eldians—one where we aren't shackled by the sins of our ancestors.
Because of my facade of compliance and the Tybur family's attempts at indoctrination, they grant me the freedom to travel as I please. One day, while exploring my parents' estate and idly perusing through old books, my mind is suddenly inundated with vivid visions of the future. These visions, like prophetic glimpses, reveal the impending cataclysm known as the 'Rumbling'—a terror that has instilled fear in my relatives and the nation of Marley alike.
In these visions, I witness events that are yet to unfold, and what unsettles me the most is Eren Yeager's pivotal role in unleashing the Rumbling upon the world. The connection between these visions and me is inexplicable, as if I am living parallel lives with Eren, experiencing his struggles and triumphs from a distant perspective. I realize that this one-sided connection means Eren likely doesn't share these glimpses into my life.
The visions plunge me into Eren's tumultuous journey—the agony of losing his mother to Titans, the heart-wrenching moments of watching his friends devoured by mindless Titans, the brutal battles against Marleyan Warriors, and even his audacious act of overthrowing Karl Fritz's council and instating Historia Reiss as queen. It's a tapestry of intertwined past and future memories, weaving a complex narrative of despair, sacrifice, and relentless determination.
Through these visions, I come to understand Eren's profound love for his comrades, his unyielding resolve to forge a path forward despite overwhelming odds, and the burden of being perceived as a devil and a villain. His life is a symphony of tragedy, yet within it, there's a melody of unwavering loyalty and fierce protectiveness toward those he holds dear.
My empathy for Eren grows as I delve deeper into his experiences, feeling the weight of his choices and the pain of his sacrifices. I yearn to change something, to alter the course of events laid out before me.
I fabricate a tale for my other relatives, claiming I am embarking on a journey to the Stammer Nation, all the while disguising myself as a Marleyan soldier to infiltrate the newest survey ships, intent on reaching Paradis Island. Onboard the ship, I eavesdrop on a clandestine conversation revealing a plot among many onboard to betray their comrades and collaborate with Paradis. The orchestrator of this betrayal is Yelena, a devoted follower of Zeke. This revelation sparks questions about Zeke's motives—why would he align with Paradis after inflicting so much devastation on its people?
