Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Laying there in the back of the cart the people had put him in, Charles had remained quiet for most of their journey. The man just stared up at the sun like he was transfixed on something in the sky every now and then reaching out towards that big yellow ball with his hand as though he could seize right down into his grasp. What had happened to him before these people found him was only a blur of pain and misery, hunger and bloodlust, something that ended suddenly and brought about a new type of suffering. One that was unlike anything else he had experienced before, but at the same time there was a sense of freedom in it. He was no longer a mindless beast that much he had deduced while killing the Titans that constantly attacked him during the day. Yes he had been one of those beings, but was now something else entirely. At the same time, his skills in fighting those creatures only grew, since apparently he could become one at any time and then return to his human form. He had scars all over his hands and arms to show the trial and error process that he had gone through to figure this out. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someones voice next to him, and he turned to look, noticing that girl riding on her horse next to the cart. He remember her has having been the first person to approach him, and the first to help him. Shena was her name if he remembered correctly. Charles had to admit that he was glad at least one of the people in her group had been so tolerant. A few of the men who were obviously other leaders in the expedition didnt want him to come back with them, but this Shena had taken personal responsibility for him and for that she had his gratitude. It was then he noticed what she was talking about when she meant being back.. It was the wall oh if there was one thing in the back of his mind he remember from his time as a beast, it was a hate for this wall, a hate that he couldnt quite understand, and a hate that he no longer felt. Sitting up and putting his head in his hand he turned to regard Shena with a poker face like look of resolution, Yes well to tell you truth Shena I dont really remember. After I lost my group, time itself seemed to just become a blur as I spent most of my time dodging Titans. If you guys hadnt found me when you did, I might have been done for given that I was out of supplies and running low on energy. Thank you though for bringing me back here, I just hope that I havent caused you too much trouble. Some of the other people in your group didnt seem too happy to see me and I hope that you having to take responsibility for me doesnt cause you to many problems. Charles scratched the back of his head as he looked at the girl the convoy was passing into the inside of the wall as they spoke and the large gate closing behind them. The sound of it hitting the ground rang out with a bit of finality, almost like a prisoner being thrown into a cell. --- People going outside the walls beside the walls besides the Survey Corps, why did he feel like he was the last one to hear about these things? Armin had informed him about these expeditions recently, the other having read about them becoming frequent amount the most desperate of the lower class. Paid for by greedy companies who cared only for what was brought back, and gave little commission to those had to risk the dangers of a journey outside the walls unprotected. A commotion started up around one of the gates to Wall Rose, followed by the entrance of a group of strange ragged people. They could have been mistaken for a group form the Survey Corps had they been wearing military uniforms. Their downtrodden faces at having seen so many of their comrades die for just paltry sums of money and just a chance to step outside humanities gilded cage. Eren Jaeger slipped through the crowds heading in the direction of the entrance to the wall in order to watch the group of civilians as they paraded down the street with their heads hung low. The sight fueled that rage within him whenever he saw the destruction the Titans wrought, bringing forth his desire to purge them all from this world so they wouldnt have to ever fear those monsters again. Looking through the crowd that was when he first noticed Mikasa standing there in the distant. The other had gone off to get them rations to eat that night, and came back it seemed with the most impeccable timing. His adopted sister always seemed to feel that he needed someone to watch over him much too both his annoyance, but secretly to his appreciation. Armin had some other business to take care of and such was Eren reason for becoming separated from him, despite the fact they were all going to eat their rations together. Even though he had some idea of what was going on as he pushed through the crowd that didnt stop the obvious questions which came from his mouth as he came up next to Mikasa, Hey Mikasa what is going on? Armin told me about some people who have been going outside the walls without military support recently. Are these really supposed to be them? I guess it is a good thing that the events at Trost doesnt have everyone so scared of the Titans that they wont confront them in some manner. Even if these people were going out without military support, the very act of stepping outside of Wall Rose could be considered an act of defiance against the man eating giants. Still Eren couldnt help, but wonder if this waste of human lives was really the right way to go about it. It was sad, but if these people really wanted to help and venture outside at the same time, then they should have joined the Survey Corps. Then again not everyone could make it through basic training either
