The Empire of Titans Chapter 17 (Blessed Titan Shifter)
🕑 Added 2022-11-04 19:17:03 +0000 UTC"So, how was it?" Ymir questioned the moment Mikasa walked out of the tent, a constant smirk on her face as she asked, and somehow grew more when Mikasa's face turned scarlet red, her eyes having the audacity to show shame and embarrassment.
Her eyes looked at Armin, hoping he would help in this situation like he always did in any other problem. Still, instead, he was as silent as a grave, his face full of embarrassment, looking down at his hands, sitting in a cross-legged position, his hands on his laps.
Krista had a slight blush on her cheeks, still remembering all the screaming last night; she and Armin had walked in the forest far enough not to hear them and not get in their business, except Ymir, of course, who was more than happy to stick around and listen to everything, before grabbing a notepad and writing down exciting screams... Krista wondered if something was off with her.
They had returned almost three hours later; fortunately, Mikasa and Eren weren't loud anymore, but they were still embarrassed, especially Armin, who thought of himself in a similar position with Mina before quickly dismissing that thought; he couldn't think of her like that, at least not yet.
Hearing Ymir say that to Mikasa caused Krista to turn to her. "Don't ask such questions, Ymir," She chided, almost like a mother to her child, but the taller girl simply ignored her girlfriend; her eyes focused solely on Mikasa.
"Go ahead, tell us everything, don't stand there like a mute," she teased smugly; Krista looked ready to say something else when Mikasa frowned slightly before standing up, now fully out of Eren's tent. She had already worn all her clothes, wincing slightly when she stood up, filling pain in her thighs, but she ignored it for now.
"I-I don't know, what you are talking about," Mikasa answered, walking back to her tent, avoiding everyone's eyes.
"Really? Because I'm pretty sure I remember," Ymir said with a little chuckle before opening a notebook in her hand.
Oh no, Armin thought as Ymir cleared her throat before speaking in a very well-mannered tone as if she was talking with the king.
"Ohh, EreH, Pleasee Moree-" she was interrupted by Mikasa moving much faster than any human had any right to, grabbing the notebook before Ymir could even blink. Shredding the notebook to pieces, with an angry scowl towards Ymir, who simply laughed out loud at her face.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Mikasa. There's no reason to, this life is short, and there's nothing wrong with getting what you want and simply enjoying life for the time we have left," she said grimly at the end. Still, her grim look turned to a smirk almost instantly; before rubbing her hands together, Krista facepalmed at her girlfriend.
"As long as I get something too," she whispered; Armin groaned loudly, unable to handle it anymore; standing up, he started walking away almost in a hurry.
"I think I'm going to go and collect firewood, yeh, that's what I'll do. See you later, everyone," he said, waving at his friends without looking back.
A minute later, Ymir and Mikasa were talking behind a tree in hushed tones; whatever they were speaking with each other, Krista knew Mikasa was getting annoyed the more they talked; Krista hoped Ymir wasn't pushing the wrong buttons; it could quickly end with Mikasa punching Ymir in the face, sometimes Ymir's tongue just moved uncontrollably and said the wrong things.
Krista's mind went back to the dream, wondering who that woman had been and why she felt as if she knew her from somewhere.
A groan made the beautiful blonde girl turn to look at Eren's tent, a hand suddenly sticking out before Eren's head stuck out, looking a bit tired, rubbing his eyes. Still half-asleep, his eyes found Krista, who greeted him with a 'Good Morning' and a cute smile that only she could pull off.
"Good morning, Krista. Where's Mikasa?" Eren questioned, his eyes looking around the camp but not finding her anywhere. When he had woken up, not feeling Mikasa's warmth made him think all that was a dream, a very good one but a dream nonetheless.
But when he had completely opened his eyes and paid more attention to his surroundings, he noticed his pants, shirt, and underwear were all over the place; he had never left his clothes like that. He always organized them and did not just throw them in a random direction.
Soon, he remembered more of the last night; it felt real; he knew that it wasn't a dream like he thought before he noticed that Mikasa's knife was in his tent.
He decided to look outside and saw Krista's beautiful blue eyes.
"Mikasa and Ymir are talking over there," Krista said with a little blush that made Eren arch an eyebrow; he turned to look at where she was pointing; now he could actually see Ymir and Mikasa were there, he didn't know what they were talking about, but that didn't matter to him. He wanted to speak with Mikasa later about what they said to each other last night. He remembered it.
I love you
Her words brought a smile to his face, words he hadn't heard for three years now. He fought the urge to jump upward like an idiot. Crawling back inside, wearing the rest of his clothes, before walking outside. The sun almost blinded him as he stepped outside.
"Where's Armin?" He questioned when he couldn't see his blonde friend; at first, he thought he was still sleeping, but his tent was wide open and empty.
"H-He said he wanted to gather some firewood," Krista replied, sitting in a tree trunk; Eren found it odd that he went alone, a part of him wanting that his friend had waited for him. They would reveal the truth to Ymir and Krista, and Eren wanted to talk with Armin again.
At that moment, Mikasa and Ymir stepped out of the tree, surprisingly, both were smiling, and it didn't seem like Mikasa wanted to beat Ymir.
"Good Morning, Mikasa and Ymir," Eren greeted them, his green eyes looking at Mikasa, who looked back at him with a smile he hadn't seen before; he wondered if he should say something; he wanted to say something, but his friends were still around, and he wasn't sure what to even say, thankfully he was "saved," by Ymir straight up kissing his cheek, taking him and Krista by surprise.
"Good Morning, Eren," her arms wrapping around his neck, much to his amusement; now, he had gotten used to her antics. He rubbed his neck nervously. A few minutes later, Armin returned carrying enough wood for two days.
Soon they decided to hunt for food; they split into two groups, Eren and Armin, and the other group, Mikasa, Ymir, and Krista.
"Armin, how should we proceed tonight?" Eren questioned his friend almost in a hushed tone, his eyes checking every corner around them, in fear of someone hearing them despite being in the middle of the forest.
"There's nothing to proceed. We are simply telling them that we are Semi-Titan Shifters. Krista already knows about you and so far has been good at keeping it secret. I don't think we should worry, Eren. Everything will go fine if something goes wrong. We are three titans against one," Armin spoke with a smile, trying to reassure Eren, who nodded in agreement.
Now Armin was free to think about Mina; he wondered when he could tell her, he trusted her, but he was going to tell her out of nowhere. He decided to wait a little longer, perhaps one more year, to tell her the truth. They weren't officially dating, but he was quite looking forward to the two free days after three weeks. Everyone was free those two days, and Armin had decided to ask Mina to go on a date with him. The thought of her made him smile before he even realized it.
Eren smiled beside him, having a few thoughts on what his friend was thinking about. He knew what could make Armin smile like an idiot, and Mina was one of them.
Back at the other group, Krista was mostly quiet, as Mikasa and Ymir were chatting with each other, remembering her 'dreams.'
Since she touched Eren that day, she had been having more and more dreams. Yet they didn't feel like dreams; they felt too real to be dreams.
Dreams of a woman with long dark hair, beautiful. The woman was tall and had long, smooth, dark hair stopping to her shoulder length. She had a rounded face and was wearing a simple dress and skirt.
It reminded Krista of herself and a little of Eren. Krista didn't know why she was having dreams of her, but last night she dreamed of her again, this time they were playing together on a farm, no she was crying, Krista quickly corrected herself. It was a little mixed up.
She also remembered her crying; she looked very distressed, her purple eyes filled with panic, holding her head in fear and despair as if she had seen a monster. Krista had wanted to ask if she was alright, but she woke up before she could. Whoever that woman was, Krista felt a strange connection to her, as if she somehow knew her but couldn't quite tell when or where.
A hand shaking her shoulder made her escape her thoughts; her eyes turned to look at Ymir, who looked at her with concern; Mikasa was also looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"W-What?" Krista questioned, not knowing why they were looking at her like that.
"We have been calling you for a whole minute now. Are you alright?" Ymir questioned, bringing the blonde girl a little closer to her. Krista was surprised to hear that she had been so deep in thought that she hadn't heard either Ymir or Mikasa. Quickly getting back her composure, she cleared her throat.
"I'm fine, Ymir, just a stupid dream," She said; both Ymir and Mikasa looked like they weren't believing her but didn't try to pressure her into it.
The rest of the hunting continued without much trouble; catching a few rabbits was enough for today.
Returning back to the camp, Mikasa found Eren and Armin had already returned; they were trying to start a fire; well, Armin was, and Eren was more watching than helping.
Mikasa smiled at the sight; seeing them like this reminded her why she was trying; the reason not to give up was right in front of her. Her eyes briefly glanced at Ymir and Krista talking together; the tall woman had her arm around the girl's neck, bringing her closer, much to her embarrassment.
Mikasa chuckled in amusement, Ymir could annoy her sometimes, but she was a good friend, and so was Krista. Of all the girls in the training corps, Mikasa trusted Ymir, Krista, and Sasha the most. She and Sasha were good friends, often giving her advice on how to fight, sometimes going so far as giving her a piece of bread, with Sasha calling her a goddess for that. Mikasa liked Sasha; she was quite funny to have around and wouldn't mind if she wanted to be with Eren. And after seeing the looks Sasha had given Eren during training, she knew the potato girl lusted after Eren.
Mikasa trusted Mina as well, but she didn't know her as well as Armin did, but her friend trusted her, and that was more than enough for the Ackerman girl.
One girl she didn't trust was Annie; all she knew about her was that she liked close combat; Eren had told her as much since they often fought each other. Mikasa didn't like the way she ignored people, but Mikasa had seen glimpses of sadness in her eyes; sometimes, when Annie thought that no one was looking, she would violently kick trees. Mikasa had seen her kicking trees until the tree's skin was ripped entirely as if Annie carried the anger and rage of the entire world on her shoulders.
She wondered how Annie hadn't broken her leg kicking the tree, but Mikasa had walked away before she could see more since Annie had perhaps heard her when she suddenly stopped kicking the tree. Annie immediately checked the area around her, but Mikasa had already walked away, not wanting to be seen.
Mikasa didn't know what Annie's problem was, but she didn't trust her yet.
She walked up to Armin and Eren, the fire now spreading, the branches burning, cracking, Armin enjoying the heat from the fire.
Seeing they had returned, both looked up to her, Eren standing up, a smile spreading on his face when he saw her, a smile she returned.
"How did the hunting go?" Armin questioned with an embarrassed look on his face.
"We caught a few rabbits; it should be enough for tonight," Mikasa replied, briefly glancing at Armin, before walking up to Eren and grabbing his hand gently.
"Can we talk?" Mikasa whispered, pointing towards the forest. Eren nodded without much thought, following her behind. Armin watched them walking away with a smile, especially when he noticed their hands were intertwined.
"They look good together," Krista commented behind Armin, who simply nodded in agreement.
Eren Yeager
Following Mikasa behind, they soon reached a big tree when she suddenly whirled around, facing him before kissing him on the lips roughly; taking his breath away, he was taken aback for a moment before returning the kiss, his arms going around her waist.
Her tongue forcefully entered his mouth, dominating him as he was pushed against the tree, her left hand playing with his hair and her other hand going underneath his shirt, touching his muscles, enjoying the feeling of them.
Soon the need for air forced them to pull away, a string of saliva connecting them; both had flushed faces.
"What has gotten into you?" Eren questioned with a dumb smile on his face.
"I missed you," she whispered before sharing a kiss again. This time Eren took charge, whirling her around and pushing her against the tree as his hands moved underneath her pants.
"EreH," she moaned into the kiss, his fingers playing with her soaking pussy, her hands gripping his shoulder as his fingers pulled in and out of her.
"Cum for me, Mikasa." He whispered with a low husky tone that sent her over the edge, his lips muffling her cries of pleasure.
They looked at each other's eyes, full of love and lust; Eren brought his finger to his lips, enjoying the taste of her juice.
"You taste delicious, Mikasa," Eren spoke, his tone alone sending shivers into her core. She wanted to continue this, but they first needed to talk with Ymir.
"We are telling them tonight about my and Armin's Titan," Mikasa said.
"Right after we eat dinner," Eren confirmed, his hand stroking her beautiful hair; she leaned against his hand, enjoying the sensation.
"There's something I need to tell you," Mikasa said before she whispered something in his ear. What he heard almost made Eren stumble back before his cheeks went a little red.
"Are you sure about this, Mikasa?" Eren questioned, wanting to ensure she wanted this; Mikasa kissed him again.
Later
After returning to the others, Krista decided to cook the meat; she wasn't as good as Sasha, but not that bad either. She remembered what Sasha said one should do when cooking a good meal. Trying her best to follow her advice, throwing salt around it, they had put a frying pan on the fire. Sadly they didn't have onions or garlic to go along with the cooked meat.
Cutting it into equal pieces, everyone was sitting around the bonfire. Eating and talking, Krista noticed that Eren looked a bit tense but ignored it before cutting a piece of meat with her knife.
"You eat with manners, Krista," Armin suddenly said, pointing at how Krista was eating. Being extra careful not to make a mess of it.
"Unlike Eren, who eats like a bear," Armin added, pointing at his friend with his thumb.
"Hey!"
The others chuckled in amusement, and Eren joined with the others. Eating the rest of his meal, he put the plate on the grass before clearing his throat, his face now solemn.
"Ymir and Krista, we need to tell you something," Eren started; from his tone alone, they knew this was important.
"What is it, Eren?" Krista questioned, concerned for him; Ymir put her arm around her neck, almost in a protective manner.
"Ymir, that day. I told you about The Blessed Eldians, but there was something I kept secret," Eren revealed. Ymir narrowed her eyes slightly, her teeth ready to bite her lower lip. Mikasa was surprisingly completely relaxed.
"What I didn't tell you is that my father was able to create a syringe that turns an Eldian into what he called a Semi-Titan Shifter," Eren explained, his voice showing he wasn't joking.
Ymir's eyes widened slightly; she had never heard of that term before, she didn't know much, but even she knew an Eldian needed to be turned into a Pure Titan and that Titan should eat whoever possesses the Titan Shifter power to turn back to a human and to have that power.
"Semi-Titan Shifter?" She asked, still keeping her arm around Krista, who, despite hearing what Eren was saying, wasn't afraid of him.
"According to my father, if that syringe is injected into an Eldian, they obtain one of the nine Titan powers without the need to eat the current owner of the Titan shifter power. Except for the Founding Titan, that one can't be obtained any other way except the normal way." Eren explained before pointing at Armin and Mikasa. Both of them had deep cut on their palms that was bleeding.
Ymir and Krista saw their wound releasing steam as it healed; Ymir noted that it took a bit longer than she expected, but she understood what all of this meant. Krista almost gasped, she remembered Ymir's words and understood that both Mikasa and Armin possessed such powers, but she wasn't afraid. They were her friends.
Ymir's eyes landed on Eren, who was silent, waiting for them to say anything. At that moment, Ymir knew the people inside the walls had the best chance of survival, more than she had previously thought. Not only he has the Founding Titan, but there's a way to turn any eldian into a Titan Shifter, she thought with a smile growing on her face, moving away her arm around Krista.
Standing up, she extended her arm towards Eren.
"You have my full support, Eren Yeager. Whenever the fight starts against the Colossal, the Armoured Titan, and the rest of our enemies. I give my word that I will protect the people of the Walls," Ymir promised with a genuine tone.
Eren smiled, feeling a little relieved, before shakily each other's hands.
Krista, who had been mostly quiet, stood up, looking at them as if she couldn't recognize them.
"Can someone explain to me who we are fighting against?" She questioned; Eren nodded before telling her to sit down. After she sat on the tree trunk, Eren told her everything about the outside world. Marley, the history of Eldians, and everything else.
After everything was said, Krista took a deep breath before looking at Eren in a new way, almost with respect.
"Then I will be by your side as well," Krista promised, earning smiles from the others. Mikasa was about to open her mouth and say something when the blonde girl remembered something.
"Can I see your Titan, Ymir?" Krista suddenly demanded, looking at her girlfriend, almost daring her to say No.
Ymir was a little taken aback by her tone before she laughed; she hadn't seen this side of Krista before, this more dominant part; she couldn't help but like it.
"Of course," Ymir said, walking twenty meters away from the group with a knife in her hand. With a quick move, she sliced her palm; a yellow thunderbolt struck the place she stood.
Krista gasped in amazement; the bones formed first, followed by muscles, tissues, Blood veins, meat, and skin. Dark hair grew on top of her head, and her eyes were Ymir's eyes, but her jaw was strange. Four large sharp spikes came out from the back of her head, already crystallized; her whole mouth had sharp teeth made of crystal, her mouth taking the shape of a tiger's mouth, completely crystallized; her form standing on her four limbs, but still standing eleven meters tall, her fangs were crystallized too, sharp enough to cut everything.
Krista was amazed by her titan form, looking beautiful in a strange way, but Eren, Mikasa, and Armin had only one thought in their minds.
She's a Blessed Eldian!!!
