You flop down on your bed, every inch of your body felt exhausted. Maybe you trained a bit too long today. You were currently 12 years old. Only two days apart from the hunter exam. Ever since your parents died, you swore yourself to get revenge on the people who killed them.
---------------
It all happened when you were four years old. Your parents were blacklist hunters, and even one of the best in the whole world. They had a 4-star-rated rank when you were 2 years old. Maybe their rang went higher by now. It's been 3 months since they left for yet another "mission".
You got used to being alone for such a long time, eventhough you were so young. But you didn't really thought much of it. After all, everytime your parents came back, they brought lots of sweets and present for you. They were also very kind and loving, so you forgave them for leaving you alone for quite a long time. But how could know, that this time, they'll never come back?

You were picking out some flowers on the field next to your house, surprising your lovely parents with them. "I'm sure they'll love it!", you said to yourself, smiling. Your house was a bit afar from the actual main city. You were living on Whale island. It's really pretty on there. Your house was on a beautiful field, a bit abandoned from everyone else, so you didn't have any friends at that time. You also never really left the house, except to get flowers. Your parents usually bought lots of food for you while they were going to be gone. And lastly, your mom taught you some basics at cooking. That's all you needed.

You stood up from the grass with a handful of flowers and went back to the house, when you noticed someone standing in front of your door. Shocked at the sudden visit from a stranger you ran to the backdoor of your house and laued the flowers on a table. Slowly you tiptoed to the front door, which was met by a couple knocks. You slightly flinch at the sudden sound. With a deep and shaky breath, you finally opened the door. A tall, strong and probably older man stood now infront of you. He looked down on you, as he realized the door opened. His eyes seemed mad, and narrowed down on you. But after a while he stared at you, his eyes softened. "I guess you're the child, huh?", he finally said, voice a bit cracking. Still frightened of the man's appearance, you nodded, not really understanding what he was doing here. Then, he let out a loud and long sigh. He kneed down, so that he could look you straight in the eyes. Taking another sighed, he looked onto the ground. He didn't know how to tell you. How could he tell a small child, that their parents just died, and probably ruin their whole life for them? Finally, he looked you in the eyes again. Eventually he found the courage to tell you. "Im sorry, but your parents aren't going to come back."

It was midnight. Curled up into a ball, you were laying on your bed. It has been 6 hours since the man told you, that your parents died. The words kept repeating in your mind. "Kid, your parents died. I'm so so sorry..". Those were the last things he said, before disappearing as sudden as he came. 6 hours long you've been crying in your bed, trying to process those words. "Dead. They..are dead", you kept thinking, not believing your own words. After a few more hours of thinking and crying, you eventually fell asleep.

It has been 2 years since you EVER left the house, nor your room. You barely ate, didn't pick any flowers or cleaned the house. The will to do anything had disappeared. You stare into the ceiling, trying to find the answer on what to do with your life now. You are currently 6 years old. Pain and sadness from the loss of your parents were still haunting you. Suddenly something flashed right before your eyes. Shocked you sat up from your bed. What were you doing? Were you seriously going to stay in your house for your whole life and just do nothing about the death of your only family members you knew? They wouldn't be proud at all. You let out a sigh and got out of your bed to finally take a shower and do something. It was quite nice, feeling so refreshed. While taking the shower, you thought of what to do. The man who told you about the death of your family 2 years ago didn't really say much. You barely understood it anyway. But, he said something about a...what was it..right! Phantom Troup! You go out of the shower and decide to go to the "main city". It was a 30-minutes walk from your house to there. You got on some black shorts, a white large t-shirt,white socks and white shoes. Nothing special. You grabbed some money your parents always left you if the food shouldn't be enough, which never was the case, so you had lots of money now because you saved everything. Finally you grabbed the house keys and went outside. It was weird breathing in the fresh air after such a long time again. You kinda missed it. Softly smiling at the blue sky and beautiful daylight, you began towards the market and Harbour.

After around 25 minutes of walking you finally reached it. There were a lot of people. Mostly adults who were buying and selling stuff. Trying to remember where a library was while walking through the small market and city, you bumped into someone. Falling on your back, you groan a bit at the sudden impact. Opening your shut eyes slowly in fear to get yelled at, your (e/c) (=eye colour) eyes were met by precious brown ones. The boy you bumped into was around your age. He had black-greenish hair which kinda spiked up (A/n: idk how to explain gons hairs). He also looked quite innocent and a bit taken aback from the sudden impact. You quickly bowed down and apologized to him a couple times. With your head down low, you expected to be yelled at or him saying "Can't you watch where you're going?!". But it was quite. The only thing which could've been heard was the people around you chatting and walking around. You kept your eyes shut and waited for an answer. Then suddenly you heard a small giggle coming from the boy.
