Chapter 2
After we ran a while, Gon asked us, "Hey! Why do you guys want to be a hunter?"
"No particular reasons," replied Killua. "It appeared to be super interesting. That's all. And you Misaki?"
"Well, you see, I lost my memories a year ago. I want to find the tree of knowledge because people say that it knows everything. I want to know how to get my memories back."
"Do you even know where it is?"
"No but a hunter named Gin Freecs knows. I'll find him and ask him about it."
"Hey!" Gasped Gon. "It's my dad! I want to become a hunter to find him!"
"Nice! We can search for him together!"
"I'll be helping too! I don't really have anything to do so I'd like to help."
"Sure!"
After hours of running, we finally reached the surface (we were in a basement). I thought that we would be in a city or something, but seems like we ended up in a kind of jungle.
Be careful, this place is full of dangerous animals. Said a voice in my head. I don't know if it was my intuition or something else. Whatever it is, it was right; Shiro growled because he sent something dangerous.
"This is the Numelle's Marsh, nicknamed the crook's nest. We'll go through here but remember, losing the way results in death," Said Satotsu.
"WAIT!" yielded someone who didn't have a number plate, which means, he wasn't a participant of the hunter exam.
"He's lying to you! He's not the jury! I am! Look at this." He pointed at a kind of monkey at his feet.
"It is a monkey-man. One of those that live in the Numelle's Marsh. They know how to use our language and manage to trick men in the marsh, where other monsters are waiting to capture their prey. Can't you see it's resemblance with this imposter?
He was right! The monkey-man and the (maybe false) jury were like twins!
"Don't listen to him! He is the one lying here," said a voice in my head.
Shiro acted like he heard that voice and ran toward the monkey-man. When the wolf was about to bite that creature, the monkey ran away. But it was too late. The wolf was faster. My partner bite the monkey to death. I'm so proud of him, even though I didn't do anything. When he did that, the imposter wanted to run away but a small eyed clown threw playing cards at him which cut him in pieces. After this incident, everyone followed the real examiner and started to run again.
After a while, mist covered everything around us. We could barely see the candidates in front of us. If Shiro wasn't here, I don't think that we could evade all the traps set by the evil animals. Before we knew it, we found ourselves running in front of all the others.
"It's a good thing that we got here. Near the examiner we have less chance to get lost," said Killua.
I nodded while Gon turned around and yielded, "Kurapica! Leorio! Killua said that it's better to be near Satotsu!"
Damn him! Why'd he yielded so loud? He's giving advices to the others!
"If we could, we would already be there!" Leorio answered.
"Actually, added Killua, its better if we don't go near Hisoka. I'm sure that he will use the mist as a cover and kill as many people as he can."
"Hisoka?" I asked.
"The clown."
"Hum? Why?"
"He's the same kind of person as me."
I felt that I was so lost! But I didn't want to border him with my questions so I didn't ask anything.
When we were running nothing happened till we heard Leorio scream.
"LEORIO!" Gon ran in the direction of that sream.
I stopped and wanted to go with Gon. But Killua said, "Don't risk your life to go with him! He'll be alright."
I hesitated a second and decided not to go.
We arrived at a house in the middle of this jungle.
"Here we are, said Satotsu; the second exam will take place here."
