When They Came (Shingeki no Kyojin FF)The sun was far in the western sky when the shadow blotted out its light. We thought that it was from a cloud when we first saw and heard the thunder and lightning that shook heaven and earth. It was the coming of the rain, we thought. But that sound was of a different storm, one that would bring no life to a starving land. It was the sound of death’s footsteps.When They Came (Shingeki no Kyojin FF) by ~eienhikaru
Then the devil raised its head above the wall and looked down on us. In its gleaming hungry eyes, we were just livestock penned in and waiting to be eaten. But even though death was right there staring in on us, we were rooted to the spot by a feeling of awe and terror. That fe

From a young age, I always thought that the rule of law was the greatest blessing our world had ever known. After all, our now peaceful world is the result of the law’s blessing. Believing in the innate wickedness of people and the need to control them, I aspired to become a part of the government and serve the law. When I was old enough, I was accepted into the nation’s Cultural Guidance Office. To enforce and defend the framework keeping our world together, I sacrificed everything and began to climb the ranks of the bureaucracy until becoming the Admini

A smile forms across my lips, but this smile has no mirth in it. No, this is a smile of cruelty and loving betrayal. It’s time for me to drop the curtain on Elyse’s stage.

I want her to fear. I want her to hesitate. I want her to understand what it is to be truly afraid of losing something, because that is exactly what she made me feel.
“Elyse, let me make something clear. You believe that you’ve understood me, that you’ve read me like an open book. But in truth, you know nothing. The mere idea that I wanted to become you is ridiculous and shows your naiveté. From the start, I had never intended to do that. Tell me, why would I want to become you?”

Without a pressing goal, an individual risks falling into a state of lethargy. I am proof of that. Having lost the person that I loved, I have allowed myself to become a slave to routine. My life has become a puppet show, and I am not the one pulling the strings.
I have been betrayed by my own heart.
Opening my eyes, I find myself lying on the floor of a cold cell. I’m not in the clothes I wore when I went to bed. Instead, I’m dressed in what looks like a prison uniform. Interestingly though, I feel nothing. It’s almost as if I’m watching this scene through another person’s eyes, even though I’m clearly the one experiencing it.
Because it’s a nightmare. But in this nightmare, things that are real will be unearthed.
