I rested my head on my palm, as I watched fields changing forests and forest changing fields, and over and over again.

A sight escaped my mouth as I leaned over the train window.

Yesterday I said my goodbyes to my parents, and hopped on the train for a long twenty nine hour ride. I was now twelve. And mommy and papa promised that when I turn this age, I could go take the Hunter Exam.

I have been waiting for this moment. No question about it. Nonstop asking my parents what was the Hunter Exam like, preparing myself for any trouble I might find myself in, training, training, training, training...

Of course I knew it was going to be difficult in some way. That made me want to go even more.

"Alright! I'm almost there!" I said to out loud. People around me grimaced. I smiled at them, and they turned away whispering.

'As long as you keep your smile you're good' dad said, before I ran in the train sending them air kisses.

I closed my eyes resting my head on the seat. Only around ten hours to go. Then I'm there.

My body relaxed in the seat as I drifted into deep sleep.

I opened my eyes of the familiar smell of sea and Island. I sat straight in my seat, as I looked  over the window. I felt bumping on my seat while seeing what I desired for all this time. I jumped out of excitement.

There was it, the island where the Hunter Exam will take place.

In about a half an hour I was already out of train, on the Island full of excitement. I breathed in and out the air of sea and land. I didn't travel quite a lot, since my parents wanted me to live in a peaceful society, deep in forests, far away from any communication. Yet I loved exploring new places, so going to Hunter Exam was a win win.

I saw as a bunch of people already walking ina bus. I suppose they were other Hunter Exam tryouts?

From what I heard that bus takes applicants to their destination.

I frowned at them. Do people think it's really so easy? Thousands, no maybe Millions of people try out for a year. Seems like they have no chance whatsoever.

Sighting, I started walking away from the crowd.

When I finally walked out of the blunt town I went straight for the hill. Just a feeling I guess, I thought as I walked straight soon walking in a small town, when...

My hunches are usually correct anyways.

Minutes later...

The old woman gazed at me with her cold eyes, that didn't look so nice. How did I even end up like this?!

Ah that's right... while I was crossing the tall mountain, I came across this weird town and then these freaky people...

"Before you pass this town you'll need guess my riddle, I prepared. You'll have ten seconds,"she says. Old people are... not really nice all the time huh?

I gulped. "Uhm, ok."

The woman closed her eyes for a moment, and then started speaking while opening. "People are threatening to kill your mother or your father, and they give you the decision to choose. Which one do save and which one do you leave behind?" She asked narrowing her eyes at the young girl.

I froze for a slip second, then look back at the old woman. "I choose... neither." I said now glaring at her. She shot her brows.

"And why's that?" She asks me.
