This bed feels like it's made out of thorns. I awaken, dizziness overwhelming me immediately. God, it feels like someone drained my nen. That could be a possibility, why else would I collapse from just teleporting. Either my energy is gone or my nen usage has been high and drained me. Probably used most of it to get Hisoka's nen off of me unknowingly. Yeah, maybe.

Though, why was the penthouse on fire? I'm sure we didn't cook or leave anything on the stove for it to catch alight. 

"Good, you're awake. You've been out for almost 12 hours little dragon." Hisoka comes walking in, food in his hands. Yay, I'm starving. The room I'm in is small with part of the roof gone, seeing straight into the upper floor, a single old bed occupying the barren space. 

"I feel like I could sleep 12 more. Did I miss anything?" He sits on the bed with me, watching as I eat the fries and burger he brought me. 

"Maybe something, Kurapika kidnapped Chrollo, used his judgment chain on him and took away his nen abilities, Pakunoda who also had the nen chain around her heart, died while telling the troupe everything she knows, and that's it really." Wait if Chrollo doesn't have his nen, Hisoka isn't going to fight him. I'm more relieved than I should be. 

"Where is Chrollo now?" The words come out faster than I can process. 

"Oh I don't know, probably wandering around." 

"Oh. Okay." I shift my attention back to my food and finish it up. 

"What do you say we go into that game today?" He smiles as if it's nothing. 

"Sure." He waits for me to take a shower and change out of my smoke filled clothing, before pulling out two memory cards for us to enter. 

We enter the game, appearing in a white room. Eta appears before us and explains the rules. I forget sometimes that she's supposed to be a robotic helper in the game, but in reality, she's an actual person despite her appearance being quite animatronic. The same could be said for her twin sister. My ring passes through her system, her code being disrupted. 

"Y/n. Your mother asked Ging to hide something for you in the game. She said that you'd come back when it was time. The only clues they left was a riddle. Where dazzling waterfalls glitter and the little bunnies litter. Seek out the bright light for the mark of the divine will lead you to the one you are meant to find. That is all. Good luck Y/n."  Great another poem for me to decipher. 

"Eta, how many waterfalls are there in Greed Island?" If I can narrow it down a bit, that's saving some time. 

"As far as I remember, there's 4, one at each cardinal point of the island." Great. 

"Thank you, E. See you again sometime." I fold my arms behind my head and walk to the starting point, Hisoka following behind me. The first thing I need is a map. Luckily there's some card slots already filled for me on the ring. All I need to do is trade a few. 

"Why'd you use Chrollo's name as your own?" I ask as we walk through the grassy plain.

"So that the troupe would be curious and come find me." He smiles. "So, where are we off to?" I stop in my tracks, the clown bumping in behind me.

"I have to retrieve something I left in here last time then get that thing they left for me to find. You can do whatever you like. You don't have to come with me." I buy the map I need and walk into a little cafe. 

"On the contrary, I'd love to accompany you on your mission. It'll even give me a chance to look for a nen exorcist to reverse the judgment chain on Chrollo." If he does that he'll be able to fight Chrollo. I'm pretty sure if I tell him no, he'll just follow me regardless. There's something he isn't telling me, I can sense it. Although, it isn't any of my business to interfere.
