## Summary

### Marley, Africa, 817

They followed the blimp until it finished its flight, at which point they were found by two officers. While one officer disciplined Grisha for leaving Liberio, the other took Faye away. After his punishment, Grisha attempted to go home, but was stopped by the soldier, who insisted that Grisha watch the blimp with him.

Faye never returned home, and her mutilated body was soon found by the authorities much later. The officer last seen accompanying Faye insisted that he had taken her back to Liberio, and pointed out that she never should have been outside in the first place, questioning whether Grisha's parents had been teaching their children of the ancestors' sins. Grisha was convinced that the man was lying, and was disgusted by the way his father sucked up to the man.

Grisha's father attempted to educate Grisha on the sins committed by their ancestors. 1,820 years ago, their ancestor Ymir Fritz, a young captured slave was made a deal with the leader of the tribe, and becoming its first time to rule. After Ymir died, her legacy lives on which created the Eldian Empire, which annihilated Marley. After that, the people of Eldia, began to persecute other tribes they considered "inferior," and began a wave of ethnic cleansing that lasted for 1,700 years. However, Marley began to conspire against the Eldians, and were able to overthrow them in the Great War by taking trusts and gain the control. The Eldian king, Fritz, built three provinces on Eldia's only remaining land, Paradis Island, to protect his people. However, some Eldians, including the Jaeger family, were left behind. Marley was generous enough not to kill the Eldians left behind, and instead gave them land to live on.

Grisha did not see any connection between his ancestors' actions and his sister's death. When he continued asking questions, his father explained that even if they did not do anything directly, they must stay quiet to appease those who they once subjugated, and pleaded with Grisha not to bring Faye's fate upon the rest of his family. Which for Grisha or so, he says he'll understand and won't let it happen after Faye's death, becoming a foolish Eldian that he couldn't have a chance life, which he'll face the years to become, some kids mock at him or go somewhat furious for what he did for his little sister, which he approves it.
