The next day the four of us got our tattoos, I had mine placed on my back between my shoulder blades and had it the size of a orange, not too big and not too small. Feitan had told us that Chrollo was getting ready to send us on our first missions, no one knew if we would be together or separated. In the days leading up to this we trained non stop from the time the sun rose to the time the sun had set. Word was that a possible group or person would be sent to the Zoldyck's estate while others would be sent to a auction in Yorknew City.

After the sun had set we all sat down to have a meal before heading off to bed. Feitan was the first to say anything, "What do you think he'll say tomorrow?"

Machi responded, "I doubt we would go to the Zoldyck's estate. We have nothing on them and we don't know what we would be up against. I don't see that as a win."

I kept to myself as we ate. Machi was right, even if someone did get sent to the estate there was a high chance of them not returning. Going up against a Zoldyck and living to tell the tale was highly unlikely. As we wrapped up our meal we all headed separate ways to get sleep before tomorrow.

- Time skip -

I woke up to someone tapping me on the shoulder. I turned my head to see that it was Paku. "For someone who lives in a place like this you would think the would've sense someone before the were right on top of them." She said.

I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "What can I say, you got me" I got up and put on my gear, the normal all black fitted assassin clothes with my throwing knives. Compared to most of the people in the group I only came up with one ability while I started learning nen. It was called Blade Barrage, I would only use this ability when I had open space and I wasn't too close to people or buildings. I had the ability to vault into the air and unleash a volley of solar-charged explosive knives, when it came to up close combat I would refrain from using this and stick to hand to hand combat while still using my knives without the solar energy attached to them.

"Machi and Feitan are already heading over to the boss, I thought I should walk with you if that's okay?" Said Paku

"Of course." As I tucked my knives away we started walking to Chrollo, I was somewhat excited and nervous to see what would happen and where we would be going after this. On the way there Paku and I discussed the possibilities of someone like ourselves being sent off to the estate and what we would even be heading there for. The Zoldyck's were wildly known by the name but it had been said that no one had ever really seen them, one photo of them was worth a million Jenny alone. "Paku, can I ask you something?"

Her expression seemed to change in the slightest manner, she almost seemed a little sad. "Of course, what is it?"

"Assuming the Zoldyck's are a family of elite assassin's, how do you suppose Chrollo will try and handle this if most of us will be heading to the auction in Yorknew? There's word of at least a family of ten and Kukuroo Mountain with their estate is huge ground to cover."

We were now in view of Chrollo and the others, Pakunoda never bothered to give a response. Machi saw the two of us and started walking over. Her expression was the same as Paku's. It didn't seem to fully bother me too much until later on. "Chrollo wants to speak with you..privately." Chrollo was standing away from the group looking into the ruins of the city, the rest of the spiders were gathered around a small fire talking. Machi never said anything else, she walked away. I made my way over to Chrollo.

I knew he had sensed my presence but he never turned to look at me. "You wanted to speak to me?"

"You've heard the rumors haven't you?" He was focused on the people at the bottom of the hill scavenging.

I looked over at the others and back to him. "If you're referring to the rumors about going to the Zoldyck estate then yes. I'm more concerned then curious about it."

He finally turned to meet my gaze toward him. "I want you to go. I know what you're capable of and I know you may very well be able to handle yourself. I can send others if you think it will be a problem."

"What exactly do you know about them? I know nothing of what they're capable of or if I could stand a chance, what exactly are you hoping to gain from this in the process?"

He chuckled and looked away once more. "I need to draw the bear out of his cave. Silva Zoldyck and I have a history, I want to face him, I need you to cause a ruckus and force him to come out to me once more." Chrollo then turned to face me. "If you don't think you're qualified I'll send someone else."

His demeanor changed, he was getting more serious. "N-no I can do it, I'll take care of it, boss."

Chrollo smiled. "Good, if you want to bring anyone let me know by tomorrow, we'll be going our separate ways by nightfall." He then walked toward the rest of the spiders and filled them in on what would be going down during the auction in Yorknew.

In all honestly, I didn't know who to bring. I knew nothing of what the others were capable of, the only ones I had grown close to were Machi, Paku, and Feitan. After Chrollo had finished the meeting I decided to ask Machi and Feitan to join since their parts in the heist weren't major. Feitan was skeptical of going at first but agreed to go along. "I'm assuming Chrollo will tell me more tomorrow about how this all is going down so until then I don't know much else."

Machi spoke. "Is the boss really doing this to fight Silva? What happens if we can't take what they throw at us?"

Feitan put a hand on Machi's arm for comfort. "Machi, you're overthinking this, the boss wouldn't send us there if he didn't think we could take them on, their kids are still young, I doubt they will be fighting, we just need to draw out Silva and go."

Feitan was hopeful, Machi and I weren't. I've never done anything this extreme before, stealing things here and there for fun but nothing like this. "We'll talk more about this tomorrow when we have more information to go on, I'll see you both then." We all headed our separate ways for the remainder of the night. I could barely fall asleep, my mind kept wandering with the endless possibilities of what would and could happen, I was scared deep down. Sooner or later my eyes shut and I drifted off waiting for the sun to wake me up once more into the hell I was about to enter.
