The airship landed, on a mountain, split in half... no pun intended
Looking down, I could see the spider eagle webs and their eggs, their delicious, heavenly eggs. Katsu bent down to my level as he was about 5'8 and I was 5'3, and whispered," Tor, if you don't get me an egg I'll kill you."

Turning to him as Menchi made a speech, I said" dude, you're a dragon. You can fly down, grab like twenty eggs and swoop back up without the draft."

A look of realization came up on his face as I stepped towards Menchi who was finishing whatever she was saying. We jumped down as Menchi did some crazy acrobatic flips while I just put myself in a lotus position and took a swig of water. Menchi hung herself from the web while I sat on top, still in lotus position, eating a pack of Hershey's chocolate. She looked up and laughed at me before looking back down and taking deep breaths. When she let go, I quickly shoved the rest of the chocolate in my mouth, dropped the wrapper and fell down to the eggs, grabbing three. Then an updraft, which felt like heaven on earth since it was so damn hot, blew me up as i shot back up the canyon, landing perfectly, on Katsu's shoulders. Umm you were sitting not standing, just thought I'd clear that up.

He took one look at the three eggs in my hand and proclaimed "I'm getting 2 of them Tor, I'm a mighty dragon, I need fuel."
Yes, he was a mighty dragon that loved sleep, food and hugging me above everything else, so powerful, so threatening.
I rolled my eyes as he walked us over to boil our eggs as the rest of the applicants jumped.

Yeah I get it, this is short. But the third phase is my fav phase in the entire exam. It's like the best. And omg I was watching the cooking episode dub so I knew what to write for menchis lines and could write without looking at the screen and they sounded so cringey Kurapika is the only voice that I don't want to rip out of the poor babies' throats. Lemme just add a bit for you guys

When the applicants came back, the boiled their eggs and Gon, the innocent little cinamonroll offered 255 some of his egg. Then 255 and Menchi had some Disney moment thing while Kurapika walked over to me and pulled me to the side. We sat down outside the blimp, looking at the sunset when he turned to me, curiosity in his eyes. "Tora?" he asked, distracting me from the view.

I angled my body towards him, looking into his misty eyes as he spoke, "Do you remember when we were on the boat, and..." his voice faltered.
I looked at him, willing him to go on. Eventually, he continued," When we were on the boat and we were asked why we wanted to be hunters? I have a few questions about you but my main one," he paused, shifting his head and looking at me in the eye with slight hesitation," is that when you said you wanted to give nekos another chance, and you mumbled something that sounded like 'like I was'. Care to explain?"














MUAHAHAHHAHA DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GETTING A ROMANTIC SCENE BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SORRY BUT I WANTED TO TRICK YOU GUYS HEHE



I hesitated, my breath caught in my throat as I remembered my childhood, filled with mainly whips, knives and ropes with the more than occasional broken bone. Tears began to fill my eyes and I quickly made them disappear. My voice came out as a whisper," I'll tell you if you complete the third phase"
"What?"
"If you pass the third phase, I'll tell you" my voice cracked and my breathing became uneasy as a few strands of my hair turned white and I subconsciously rubbed my wrists. My ears began to ring and I became thirsty. I quickly pulled out some water and downed it. When I lowered the bottle, I saw scarlet eyes in front of me. I was so captivated by them I didn't even notice that his hands had moved my bottle until I was pulled into a warm embrace. Burying my face in his neck, I sniffed a little and eventually fell asleep, inhaling the scent of honey, lavender and daisies.
About twenty minutes later, I woke up, finding myself on Kurapikas back, boarding the airship, my arms loosely hanging down. I quickly wrapped them around his neck and put my my head on his shoulder. Tonpa came over and tried to talk Leorio and Kurapika out of sleeping but I shot him one look and he quickly ran away.
As we were walking through the halls, we ran into Katsu. I slowly slid off Kurapikas back and climbed onto Katsu's, saying we were going to the library while they slept. We parted ways and Katsu walked us to the library, not even bothering to question my practical tactical brilliance. (Sorry my friends blasted the soundtrack in my ears until I liked it) Surprisingly, the library was a good twenty minute walk away from every major point on board and was completely deserted. When Katsu dropped me on the couch, Rin took her human form and I telepathically asked her to find a book about the phantom troupe, too lazy and upset to speak, due to my earlier conversation with Kurapika.
