Eren 's head throbbed. He was dizzy, as if he was still half asleep, with his consciousness nibbling at the back of his mind and slowly coming back to him. He was uncomfortable, cold. His body was laying against something hard and gritty. There was a voice nearby, but to his ears it was distant and fuzzy.

'He 's waking up. '

Eren opened his eyes to darkness. It was jarring at first; a pitch black that made him feel as though his eyes were still closed. Blinking made no difference. Unsettling, but his mind shifted onto other things once the haze faded and his memory came back to him. Levi, Farlan ' those three night-fairies. They must have taken him somewhere. Eren 's heart thumped in his chest; fear reignited as he tried to figure out what had happened in the time that he was unconscious. He sat up, still seeing nothing but darkness, and started feeling around himself with cautious hands.
