Within the Memories
"Have I been here before?" Yago found himself once again in a vast, white expanse.
"It's her!" a voice suddenly rang out, and then Yago's vision blurred, and an image appeared before him.
Two men held kerosene lamps and carefully shone them on the few little girls standing in front of them.
The two men were dressed fairly neatly, while the children opposite them were in tattered clothes, clearly indicating that they were homeless.
Are those two men human traffickers?
Yago observed silently. After careful observation, the two men made their decision. They chose a girl, and one of the men said gently, "Come with us and live with us from now on."
Yago saw the child they had chosen, young but also very familiar, "Ymir?"
Yago immediately recognized Ymir as a child. "This is... Ymir's memory." Yago quickly realized that he was now in Ymir's memory.
Ymir had become numb from her life of wandering, sometimes hungry, sometimes full. She didn't understand why the man in front of her wanted to take her away, but perhaps following them would guarantee her a meal?
Ymir, still a little girl, was taken back by two Eldians, and soon, an Eldia Church arose.
Ymir, who was touted as having the blood of the king, became the spiritual anchor for the Eldians, even though Ymir knew nothing about it, and even the name Ymir was given to her by others.
But Ymir was very happy because everyone was happy to see her; she brought joy to everyone, and she no longer had to live a life of eating cold food and sleeping on the floor.
In this small Eldia Church, Ymir became a god who brought hope to the people.
More and more Eldians coming to pay homage to Lord Ymir, who is rumored to possess the blood of a king.
Everyone is saying that Ymir will bring them eternal life and wealth, so they will no longer have to endure the oppression of the Marleyan.
Unfortunately, it was all a lie. Ymir was not a god with the blood of a king; she was just an ordinary Eldia girl who was being used.
Ymir is not a god, and she cannot see that there are some ill-intentioned individuals infiltrating the church.
A life that can consistently bring hope to people seems pretty good.
Under the worship of the people, Ymir himself seemed to become immersed in it, as if he had truly become a god with the blood of a king.
But when Ymir was eleven, an unexpected event occurred: simply because of the status of an Honorary Marleyan, the entire Eldia Church was betrayed to the Marley Government.
When armed Marley Soldiers violently stormed into the underground chapel, Ymir's aura was finally shattered.
The bishop who had once held Ymir in the highest esteem was the first to betray her, pointing at Ymir in a panic and shouting, "It's her! She's the one who bewitched us! She's the one who claimed to possess the blood of the king!"
Faced with the Marley Soldiers' cold questioning.
Perhaps it was from wearing the mask for too long, but seeing the panicked faces of the congregation below, Ymir Courage and confessed, "Yes! I am, I am Ymir, who possesses the blood of the king!"
Then she was struck hard by the butt of a Marley Soldiers's rifle, while the panicked faces of the followers below remained completely unchanged.
The attitude of the Eldians outside the church chilled Ymir to the bone. He was subjected to angry insults from his own people and humiliation by the Marleyan.
Ymir finally realized that she had been living a lie all these years and that she had no royal blood.
But it wasn't just the Eldians deceived her; Ymir herself also deceived herself.
In the end Ymir was forced onto the walls of Paradise, watching as her followers were injected one by one and pushed off the walls, howling as they transformed into terrifying Titan amidst yellow lightning.
She was terrified. Ymir struggled and even cried, but the Marley Soldiers behind her showed no mercy. The Eldians had never been honest; they had destroyed several similar churches before.
Who would care about an Eldians?
The Marley Soldiers plunged the Syringe directly into Ymir's neck, watching Ymir tumble off the wall and transform into a five-meter-tall Titan.
"What an ugly fellow," the Marley Soldiers said coldly.
From then on, a five-meter-tall Titan roamed the Paradis Island all day long.
Perhaps it should have ended like this.
But one day, Ymir, Titan had been lying on the ground for months, was disturbed and stood up.
Before him stood four terrified children, but the Pure Titan, devoid of wisdom, was without thought.
Its instinct to prey on humans dictated its actions, and it randomly reached out to grab a Blonde boy, but a brown-haired boy pushed him away, and the blond boy himself was grabbed by Ymir Titan.
The brown-haired boy was eaten Titan Ymir, and his Comrade ran away in panic.
Yago had been watching all of this. He never imagined that Ymir had such a memory. This seemingly carefree girl also had a tragic past.
Before Yago could finish his exclamation, his vision blurred again.
The scene that unfolded left Yago stunned and rooted to the spot.
Familiar place, familiar starry sky, familiar desert, and familiar beams of light under the starry sky.
Ymir awoke naked, having been reborn after devouring Ymir power of an Intelligent Titan Power.
Looking at the beautiful and dazzling world before me, and the pillars of light under the magnificent starry sky above my head.
Ymir smiled. She no longer had to live for others. From this moment of rebirth, Ymir would live for herself.
Yago was far from Ymir, and Ymir's rebirth seemed to be an arrangement of Fate.
Yago raised his head, and the dazzling beams of light converged, seemingly calling out to Yago.
Even though he was in Ymir's memories, Yago could truly feel the pillar of light calling to him.
"Child, Fate, come back..."
