Darkness. That's all I could see. Everywhere I looked, the inky blackness engulfed my vision. I squinted, searching for any speck of light, but found nothing. "Hello?!" My shouts echoed unanswered into the void. Panic rose as the darkness pressed do...

3RD POV:
[SOUTH INNER WALL, WALL MARIA]
(4:30am)
The clamor of hooves fell muted beneath a heavy blanket of darkness, muffled whispers carried through the air as the Scout Regiment made their way deeper into the forest, traveling towards Wall Maria under the cover of night to begin their operation to reclaim the territory they lost five years ago.
Shizu walked beside Levi, her hand adjusting the straps of the leather bag slung across her shoulder. It was filled with her medical supplies, an amalgamation of hope and resolve, indicative of the burden she carried-not just of equipment, but of a deep-rooted desire to save lives, come what may.
Levi held the reins of their horses in his hands, "You'll need your strength later," he had insisted taking Nozomi's reins and Midnight's reins while he walked alongside her.
"Always the considerate one, Levi" Shizu teased softly, her lips curling into a smile that belied the turmoil in her chest. The forest seemed to whisper secrets into the night, its shadows alive with the stories of those lost, and the darkness shrouded their mission with an unsettling weight.
"Isn't it romantic?" Shizu quipped with a teasing smile, attempting to lighten the mood that enveloped them like a fog, "Nighttime walk dates are one of the things I likes" she whispers, chuckling at the deadpan look she received from him. Levi understand her, she might not show it but he can tell that she's nervous.
As a gust of wind swept through, Shizu tightened her green cloak around her and the hood on her head, the fabric offering little comfort against the chill. But it was the coldness of anxiety that made her heart race.
But then, as the silence deepened, an unsettling sensation prickled at the back of Shizu's mind. She halted mid-step, violet eyes narrowing as her instincts kicked into high alert. Her violet eyes sharpened, shifting subtly as she scanned the darkness between the trees, confirming her unease; they were being watched.
