The Phoenix { a hunter x hunter fanfic }

~ Two ~

Months had passed sense I boarded the ship, and I became rather close to Roman. He told me old stories of his adventures with my mother. Sadly we getting closer to where I would begin my new journey.
"Hey Sil." Roman called me "Yes?" I replied to him "Don't you go going off and gettin married now in this new life of yours you hear. Cause I'd hate to have to beat some scums ass." He laughed, my face heated up as I covered it with my hands, "Romaaan, I'm not!" I told him "ahhh I'm just pulling your leg" he laughed and "Well Sil, tomorrow we reach the dock and you start your new life. Got any plans?" He asked walking over to me.
I was sitting down in one of the stools that was placed next to the wall of the ship so I could listen to the waves and read, I closed the book I was reading and turned my head to the water, "I don't even know where to start, I'm finally free and get to discover who I want to be and I have no clue on where to begin." I told him, he placed his hand on my head and ruffled my hair, "hey, your mom said she wanted you to get stronger right?" He said I looked up at him , he removed his hands and placed them in his pockets, walked over to the wall with his back against the ocean and leaned on it, " I got an idea of where you can begin." He said "I know this place where you start off, sense your my responsibility now and I ain't got no kids of my own I consider you as mine." He said chuckling I smiled at him "I'll tell you, it'll be tough, with you having no experience and all." He told me. "I know this guy that might can help you train a little bit and get started, he owes me a favor anyway." He said looking up at the clouds "His names Wing, kinda wimpy but the dude knows his stuff. He can even help you register in the arena." He said putting his hand on his chin like he was thinking. "The Heavens Arena, I fought in it a long time ago, as did ya mom. Man, people where so shocked when she made it to the top floor and turned down taking it over." He said putting his hand back in his pocket. "I used to go see the fights every once in a while after your mom defeat it, once you get passed floor 200, the people there are tough." He said looking back at me. "But it's a great start, also when you think your ready you should check out what a pro hunter is. You might be interested in that too." He said smirking. "Your mom was a pro hunter too before she met your dad. She was actually pretty famous, every one new her, and everyone loved her." He laughed, "I thought about joinin but I'd never be able to leave the sea." He said looking out at the ocean. "I'll check into it. Seems fun enough." I told him smiling excitedly, "no I'm going to do it. If Mom did it, it's got to be a clue to where she is. Maybe someone knows. And if it helps me get stronger I'll do anything." I told him he looked at me and smiled.

Before we knew it night turned into day, and it was time to for me to leave the boat and head to meat Wing.
"Hey Sil, before we head out to meet Wing, go check in your room. Your mom left you something she wanted me to give you before we parted ways to take with you along your journey." He yelled at me from the steering wheel, docking the ship.
I rushed to my room under the deck and searched for what could be there, I opened the small dresser that was against the wall and sure enough, there was a bag not to big but big enough to carry where it wouldn't tire me out and fit a couple of clothes and things into it. I unzipped the bag and my eyes widened I began to pull out the clothing that was folded neatly inside and unfolded them and held them up to examine them. It was a four piece set, a purple plaided skirt seemed to be waist high, a white elbow length sleeve top with the sleeves ruffled, some thigh high socks with purple ribbons at the base of them, a purple cloak with a hood attached to it and a purple ribbon I'm guessing for my hair. After I had pulled all of the clothes from the bag, I found a envelop, a bag with some a lot of coins in it, three other envelops with someone else's name on them, and then a brown bag that was smaller then the bag that everything was placed in, it was brown with two buttons in the side where it was attached. There was also white sneakers in the bag as well. I took everything out, and opened the the envelope with my name on it and began to read it.
