I have the challenge for you guys. I want you to draw the group picture of Amaris from Amaris, Daughter of Hunter and Thief, Ryu from Daughter of Sun Flame, and Niamh from Song of Phoenix. I will set up the poll and picked the winner of the picture on my Fanfiction account image. So send me some and thank you very much!
The fog show up as the group were running through the swamp. Killua suggested to Gon and Amaris to go up front of the group to the judge and also he mention he want to get away from Hisoka whom is giving off the bloodlust.
Amaris felt a strange tug in his senses. He looks around as he look around for the source. Amaris winced as the screaming pierced his ears. The black-haired boy look behind him to see the applicants are and took a deep sigh as he fingered his dagger tied to his thigh in a scabbard under the red cloth.
Amaris murmured to Kei and the half-wolf ran off, knowing he can handle himself. The black-haired kitsune prayed to his patron god for safety and protection for his newfound friends.
Gon and Amaris heard the screaming whom they recognized as Leorio. She picked up the scent of blood and unique smell of playing cards. Amaris ran after Gon who just took off and left Killua behind, not noticing them leaving. The black-haired fox gritted his teeth as he increased his speed to catch up with Gon.
The fox touched the tree and closed his eyes to listen to the voices. Green eyes snapped open when he witness the fight between Leorio and Hisoka. Gon hit him with the fishing pole in the fish, Hisoka knocked Leorio out, and Gon held by Hisoka by hand in the neck. Amaris pushed his energy in the ground, pleading with the nature.
The nature complied and the vines shot put of the ground, ensnaring Hisoka tightly by making him to let go of Gon. Gon fell down on his butt, looked surprised by seeing the vines holding Hisoka in place along with Kurapika.
Hisoka wondered where the vines came from and tried to get out. A whistling sounds and two blurs hit Hisoka in forehead and chest, ripping off the vines and landed him few feet away from Gon. Hisoka glanced at the tessens lying on the ground. The tessens suddenly flung back by some kind of unseen force back into the hand of the black-haired boy. They can see Amaris's normally cheerful expression were replaced with anger on his face. Amaris tucked away his tessens and glared at Hisoka with full-force death glare.
"Don't even think about it, Hisoka." Amaris growled threateningly, giving off the killing intent.
Hisoka glanced at the torn vines and Amaris narrowed his eyes at him as Hisoka's bloodlust increased and smile widened. Hisoka ran toward Amaris and he jumped into the air.
Amaris spat out the senbon needles out of his mouth, trying to strike Hisoka and Hisoka vanished. Amaris felt him from behind and dodge his playing card.
Amaris landed on the ground and spit out some more needles from his mouth to hit the ground. Hisoka merely jump over the needles and threw several playing cards to Amaris.
The cards hit Amaris, making him spat out the blood from his mouth. Hisoka smirked and turned confused as he noticed the black-haired boy smirked. The smoke appeared and it was revealed that it was a mere tree branch. The males blinked in shock.
A pair of hands shot out of the ground, grabbed Hisoka's ankles, and pulled him down until only his head is sticking out. Kurapika and Gon stared in shock as Amaris broke free of the ground. Amaris smirked at Hisoka who is giving off the increased bloodlust.
"Hisoka, I can tell you are devious like a fox." Amaris spoke calmly. "I am also devious and trickster by nature."
Amaris grabbed Hisoka by collar of his shirt and pulled him free from the ground. He turned his back to Hisoka and approached Gon with a warm smile. He glanced back Hisoka who is close to their personal space and spoke few words to them until the walkie-talkie start to ring.
The mechanical voice made Amaris winced as it grated on his sensitive ears. Hisoka replied back and pick up Leorio and disappeared into the mist.
Amaris let out a relieved sigh as he collapsed on the ground on his knees.
"Shit!" Amaris swore.
"Are you ok?" Kurapika and Gon asked.
"Yes. I'm fine." Amaris exhaled as he get up. "Fighting Hisoka is like fighting with cunning snake and sly fox to outwit you at same time."
Kurapika glanced at Amaris's needles and looked at Amaris.
"How did you fit senbon needles in your mouth?" Kurapika asked.
Amaris whistled innocently as he turned around to follow Gon who is following Leorio's cologne. He burned the senbon needles with fox-fire after Kurapika and Gon left and went to follow them. He snorted out the nasty smell as the small group headed to the site of the Second Phase. Amaris picked up Kei's footsteps and glanced the half-wolf is now alongside with the black-haired fox.
'So who was it, Kei?' Amaris mentally asked.
The half-wolf replied back with the answer that nearly made him falter in running. Amaris is thankful Kurapika and Gon didn't notice that.
He turned his head to look at Kei with disbelief written all over his face.
'You mean that presence was actually Morrigan?!' Amaris mentally yelped in shock as Kei nodded in answer.
'Well, fuck me.' Amaris muttered darkly. 'If she show up, that's mean it must be a battle in several years time.'
Kei let out a soft bark of confirmation. They look up to the sky to see the crow flying in the direction of south. Amaris prayed to Morrigan and his bracelet let out a soft glow from the Irish goddess's name.
The group stop at the site of the Second Phase with the people already there. Amaris and Gon picked up the brief flash of malice and turned their heads to Hisoka, leaning against the tree and pointed the direction where Leorio is at.
They looked at Leorio who is leaning against the tree. Amaris winced at the big bump-like bruise from his face where Hisoka punched him and looked at Hisoka.
Amaris glared at Hisoka and made a slicing gesture with one finger across the throat as a warning to him and went to join them.
He looked at Killua who went to them. Amaris silently snickered as Killua look at Gon with disbelief in his face.
Hisoka looked at the black-haired boy who is chatting with them quietly and he can see there is a potential in Amaris. He grinned maliciously and can't wait to kill Amarisand Gon due to their potential as a fighter.
Amaris had chills up his spine and knew it is Hisoka. For Amaris, he can't risk to die in the Hunter Exam not if he want to survive through it in order to deal with other side of his life.
The applicants stare at the building with large gate and fence surrounding it. They can hear the strange sounds sound like mix of groaning and growling which Amaris recognized from his early days when he is living with his relatives. His Uncle's and cousin's stomachs made the noises when it is demanding for the food which he is forced to cook at early age.
Amaris's face made a grimace as he glanced at the building. He had a feeling that Second Phase is the one he will not like at all. The gate doors creaked opened to reveal a really huge man and green-haired woman in bikini top, mesh shirt, and daisy shorts with hair tied into five top knots.
Amaris took a quick look around the area that are filled with islands, grills, and food laid on it. He pinched his nose as he got the right guess. It was cooking as a test.
"Oh, joy." Amaris scowled darkly as he glared hatefully at the cooking test.
