prologue: Waking dreams

The first thing I can remember was darkness, followed by an indescribable warmth flowing threw me from two delicate hands that where shaping my being. For what felt like an eternity she sat there gently shaping my body, while I was in a blissful dreamlike state. I finally awoke to find my head in her lap as she slowly stroke my hair and started looking into my eyes, where I immediately lost myself as her azure eyes seemed to pierce the depth of my soul. She was an incomparingly beautiful woman with blonde hair, but what was strange was that she was wearing nothing but rags and bandages and she had a saddend look in her eyes.

I asked her after I sat up" where are we, and who are you? who....am I?" she answered in an angelic but tired voice " you where a fading soul wandering the void, I am Ymir and this is my realm, you are a pure soul that knows the pain of betrayal and the spirit yearns for freedom, I saved you because I sense a kindred spirit in you as that is all I've ever had."

Before she could continue I pulled her to my chest while she was still stunned by my action I started stroking her hair just as gently as I felt she had mine as she cried and told me how "she is cursed and it seemed she was doomed to never find happiness, love, or friendship."I gently wiped her tears as I said "I'll make you a deal ok?If I gave you my heart will you give me the chance to mend yours?" as Ymir said "I'll reincarnate us into eldian families near shiganshuna on paradi where we can start life anew, you'll start your life as Eren Yeager and I'll create a soul link so we can always find each other. I've already finished your body so I'll see you soon." as she said that I started to feel tired until I closed my eyes in her lap and all I see is darkness once more.
