Fire burn bright...Feathers fall gently...Born of light and darkness...Hidden secrets made reveal. Happy April Fool's Day!


Niamh glanced at the small group of boys with a warm smile on her face as they have managed worm their way into her heart. But her smile is gone as she glanced at the faint feather markings that had appeared on both arms. She knew it is beginning of her heritage that was slowly awakening for a while even Sho noticed it, too.

Green eyes flashed fuchsia as she gritted the teeth in anger as she remembered her first year of Hogwarts which spurred her to take the Hunter Exam in order to increase the chance for survival. She gripped her wand that is hidden under the kimono strapped to the holster on the right thigh. Her wand is made of cherry wood with three unusual cores which are tail hair of the horse breed that came from the place where the demons and creatures of darkness dwell, feather of fire/ice phoenix mix, and fur from shadow kitsune. The wand is stylized with wing motifs.

Niamh sighed as she let go of her hidden wand and strike up the conversation with Gon. She looked up to the night sky, indicating that few hours had passed since they went into the forest.

The small group stop in front of the small house with the large tree behind. The red-haired girl tilted her head as she take in the surroundings. No lights were not lit inside the house which spark the suspicion in Niamh.

Sho hissed quietly as Niamh took out her Japanese fan colored in dark blue. Leorio knocked the door which received no immediate answer and opened the door which to the shock/surprised expressions on their faces as they take in the scene.

The fox-like creature is holding the girl captive while the male is injured. Leorio, Kurapika, Gon, and Niamh rapidly took out their weapons to prepare for the attack. The fox-like creature dashed past them and they were quick to follow as Leorio stay behind to help the male.

They were trying to track down the creature. Kurapika couldn't find it in the darkness. Niamh were quick to pick up the aura and went to track it down as Gon saw the shadow with his eyes. Niamh and Gon went after it as Kurapika followed them.

Niamh jumped over the tree branches as she flipped her tessen and gathered her small portion of magic tied to the wind nature. She threw the blade of wind to catch the creature off-guard, passing past Gon's attention. The creature skillfully dodged the blade of wind which sent Niamh cursing softly in Gaelic.

Gon catch up to the creature and demanded it to let the girl go as Niamh got a feeling something seem not right.

The creature glanced at the obvious display of magic and the aura of the girl that seem tinged with overwhelming bound powers that is similar to three former examinees a decade ago. Along with the obvious signs of her heritage is waking up.

Gon caught to the creature and exchanged few words between them. Niamh sent Sho to the creature which it didn't pay attention to.

Niamh nearly burst her sides from holding her laughter as Gon called the Kiriko a stupid beast. Gon used his speed to bashed the Kiriko in the head with the fishpole, making the Kiriko releasing the girl. Kurapika caught the girl.

Niamh ran after Gon and landed beside him as the Kiriko disappeared. The Kiriko show up and was about attack Gon and Niamh until Gon spoke up that the Kiriko wasn't the one whom Gon landed the blow. Niamh can tell the Kiriko isn't the one due to her unique magic allows her to tell the difference in auras.

So, the group gathered with the Kiriko as Sho floated above Niamh's head.

Kurapika were praised for his knowledge in ancient history.

Leorio for his skills for first-aid and comforting.

Gon for his super-human skills.

Niamh for unique skills which only the Kiriko knew she is a witch-born and didn't said which skill.

The Kiriko take the groups by flight and Sho changed to glider which baffled Kurapkia and Leorio as she used Sho as her transport.


They walked into the town, following the male navigator. They stood in front of the tall building which they thought was a site of Hunter Exam and Niamh looked at the Kiriko with a smirk on her face as he redirected the direction to the normal-looking restaurant.

No one noticed Nimah was making a odd squeaking noises as she tried to hold in her laughter as Leorio looked at the restaurant with disbelief written all over his face. Sho, hidden in her bag, silently snickered.

They went inside and into the room. It has the table filled with the food and they sat down on the chairs. Enjoying eating the food, Niamh listened to the conversations as she is lost in her own thoughts.

The room stopped and the elevator doors slid open to reveal the large crowd of people who want to become a Hunter. She could feel the glares on them.

Niamh can feel the heavy air which sent the chills up her spine, making her eyes gleam fuschia color. Her magic, safely sealed away, were cackling as her emotions fed to the core as Sho nudged her to get her calm down which Niamh did.

She looked around the underground tunnel and heard someone is talking about being 406 people here(406th being Niamh). She glared at the man who introduced himself Tonpa with suspicious as she took the badge from the green-skinned man in a suit.

Tonpa is sweating bullets as the red-haired girl in kimono glared at him for some reason. Niamh crinkled her nose as she read Tonpa's aura and is thoroughly disgusted.

She looked around the people as Tonpa introduced the people after Gon asked when the screaming startled Niamh.

The red-haired girl turned her sharply where the screaming came from and got another set of chills up her spine as she looked at the red-haired man dressed in jester clothing standing in front of the man whose arms were cut off. Niamh shuddered at the aura tinged with insanity and bloodlust.

She learned the jester goes by the name of Hisoka and immediately got a funny feeling about him that she wasn't sure about. Sho came out of the messenger bag and floated above Niamh as she turned her back, talking with Kurapika.

Hisoka glanced at the red-haired girl who is talking to the yellow-haired boy and look at the odd floating cat head who is purring up a storm.

Tonpa handed them the drinks which made Niamh in suspicious and quietly told Sho to scan the drink. She listen to Sho saying it is laced with laxatives and follow Leorio and Kurapika by pouring the drinks after Gon spit out the drink with a disturbingly blank face with same blank grin that freaked out Tonpa a lot.

He didn't know Niamh is master in art of pranking which will make his hairs curl up in fear.
