Of flames and lighting

Chapter 6

"To all passengers. We are ready to land!" a crackly voice called from overhead.

Kyriak blinked awake wearily, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she did so. She lifted her head off the warm pillow she had been sleeping on, a frown on her face. She had been comfy.

"Sleep well?" the amuse voice of killua entered her ears.

She glanced to the side, where her warm pillow had been located...

A pillow which turned out to be a human.

Sleepily she nodded letting out a yawn as she struggled to her feet. Completely obvious to the fact she had been curled into killua side – hugging him sideways as she slept. Killua snorted glancing to one side, before grabbing her hand and pulling her along. The sleepy girl not even blinking in surprise as the pair stepped out of the airship onto the tall circler structure? Kyriak wasn't sure still half asleep.

The wannabe hunters gathered around them, looking with interest at the tall strong structure before turning their attention to the green bean figure – who in turn explained that the third trail for the hunter exam was here and that all the individuals needed to do was get to the bottom of the tower alive within a time period of 72 hours.

Kyriak nodded, like she understood. Which she did from the most part.

She stood on the edge of the giant tower watching as the pro climber slowly made his descend. "Ah look!" gon muttered pointing out to the dark shapes slowly making their way towards the giant tower.

"Oh... He's a dead man..." kyriak muttered watching at the dark shapes grew into strange flying creatures that seemed to have large teeth and almost human like faces.

"I don't think going down that wall is a good idea" leorio muttered from beside kurapika.

"There must be... a trap door that leads us inside" kurapika concluded turning back towards the main roofing of the tower.

The vermillion haired girl, glanced about noting the lessening of people before letting go of killua hands only to hear the click of the flooring beneath her. "Oh no..." the mutter glancing down to the shifting floor panel.

Killua and gon both turned towards her in question only to note her frozen figure slowly fall into the hole being appearing under her feet.

Vanishing from sight.

Killua sighed, running a hand though his hair while gon ran to where she'd previously been.

"oh no, indeed" the slivernette murdered before joining gon in their investigation.

Kyriak landed with a clank on her wooden geta looking about the dark stone room with interest. Though internally she was missing her friends – third trail and she was all alone.

Or so she thought.

Click. click. clack.

Sliver hues darted towards the noise. Golden pins standing out in the dim light as the male stepped into view.

With clanky movement – almost like ticking clockwork he rose a hand. Kyriak stared at him before stepping forward noting what he held. A bracket looking watch. Similar to what he had on. She took it before placing it on her wrist hidden by her sleeve.

"Now that our second person has joined us. We shall begin!" a voice echoed throughout the room. Kyriak stared at the other male who looked towards the now unlocking doorway. "This is the path of the twins! Forever joined together, you two have to make it to the bottom of the tower together. Can't leave the other behind or dead."
