The ground trembles beneath your feet as you run, heart pounding, the roar of a titan chasing you echoing through the forest. You dodge trees and branches, your breath ragged, but the massive creature is gaining. You trip, falling hard, and as you turn to look, the titan looms over you, its grotesque hand reaching down.

Suddenly, another roar splits the air, a sound so fierce it freezes you in place. A smaller titan bursts from the trees, charging at your pursuer. The forest becomes a battlefield, the titans clashing with earth-shaking force. Steam fills the air as the smaller titan tears the other apart, its remains vanishing into the wind.

Then the smaller titan turns to you, its glowing green eyes locking onto yours. You try to scramble away, but it steps closer, reaching down. You scream as its massive hand envelops you, lifting you off the ground.

Terrified, you brace for the worst, but instead of eating you, the titan begins to run. Each stride carries you far into the forest, deeper than you’ve ever been. Finally, it stops in a secluded clearing surrounded by cliffs and dense trees.

The titan kneels, placing you gently on the ground. Steam rises as its flesh dissolves, revealing a man within. He’s young, with wild brown hair, piercing green eyes, and scars covering his body.

“You’re safe now,” he says softly, stepping back. His voice is tired but steady. “I couldn’t let you die.”

You stare, trembling, unable to process what’s just happened. A titan shifter—one of the most dangerous beings in the world—saved you. But why? And what comes next?
