The Titan Era

Awakened Power

A sharp pain shot through Julius' forehead.

“Argh”

He grabbed his head as the pain came out of nowhere, just like needless piercing his skull, blurring his vision.

“What is happening?” He clenched his teeth as the strange pain only grew stronger. His forehead felt hot, almost like it was burning and something beneath his skin came alive.

A faint golden glow leaked through his fingers, widening his eyes.

He felt like screaming as the excruciating pain became intense but his voice was seized and he couldn't voice out.

As he had been abandoned, nobody noticed what was happening to him. Every other student focused on Deen Carl.

Julius quickly lowered his head,his heartbeat accelerated.

Glow?

Was he imagining things? Just like that, the pain vanished. He touched his forehead, his temperature had gone back to normal and the glowing gas vanished but yet, something felt different, as if something had awakened. 

He raised his head up to focus on what Deen Carl was saying. 

There is more to the Titans invasion. We believe there is something they were looking for” 

“Something? Like they are searching for something?” A boy asked.

“Exactly “

“What could it be?” Another student asked.

“We ain't sure but there was a record of it happening in the past. There was. War between the humans and the Titans a long time ago. It was brutal until the human finally found a way out. We believe the Titans were killed but were sealed, now they are back and all the military schools have to prepare to face them, “ Deen Carl explained.

“As I have said earlier…” Deen Carl began but stopped when they began to hear some strange steps.

“GBIM, GBIM, GBIM “

The sound was getting clearer and nearer.

They all fixed their gaze at the door, awaiting what was coming.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the door and a Gigantic Shadow followed.

Students screamed, scholars ran back and Deen Carl was dumbfounded.

Their nightmare has come to pass. Their night tales have finally arrived as a Titan smiled at them.

“W-wh-what is happening?” Dean Carl stuttered which was followed by screams from the students.

Deen Carl also shouted. The grand hall was filled with fears and one could see the confusion written all over their faces.

"Everyone remain calm!" Deen Carl shouted again seeing the chaos that was happening but unfortunately, nobody listened. Panic has spread through the hall.

Students rushed to the exits while other froze, through the shock.

Julius stood up. His heart was hammered.

“Titan here? How? They were said to be at the Northern gate which was far from the Academy, how come one is here?” 

Then another tremor shook the academy.

“GBIM”

A distant roar echoed across the kingdom.

The sound was unlike anything Julius had ever heard. It sounded deep and ancient.

The roar alone made countless students collapse in fear.

Julius slowly turned towards the nearest window and saw it. The gigantic creature was far beyond the Academy. He stood above the forest. He was enormous.

That's when reality set in. What they have thought was the creature was actually a shadow. The creature was still on the mountain.

It was about fifty meters tall or maybe more. The golden eyes, the dark skin covered in glowing patterns. 

The Titan slowly turned its head, looking directly towards the Academy. His eyes met with Julius, who was staring at him. The world seemed to stop at that moment 

The Mark on his forehead suddenly

exploded with golden light. Pain shot through his body, making his vision go white.

A strange voice echoed

inside his mind “You add finally Awakened” then the darkness took over.
