Polished sapphire eyes twinkled with a wonderment of awe, increments of slow let out 'oohs' echoed as she flipped through the pages with a temptation of excitement as each time her eyes laid upon a new photo, she gripped the album tighter.
"So that was what mom and dad looked like when they were younger .. pretty— wait. Uncle Gon, you're not mom's real brother?"
Gon chuckled as he closed the album book. It was a long five hour narration, start to finish using an old picture scrapbook Aurora had put together for Gon's eighteen birthday that he managed to continue on, thankfully not having lost or damaged the book.
And here he was in his late twenties, telling the tale to the third, and youngest of Aurora and Killua's carbon copy child.
"No matter how you look at it, your mom is like my sister, even if we're not directly related by blood." Gon's fingers pulled the picture out of its plastic flap. Aurora and Killua's wedding wasn't the most expensive or lavish of weddings, but it was indefinitely one to go down in the books considering it had made a few newspapers covers for their extraordinary fireworks display, (courtesy of Ignis himself.)
"But, your mom did have an older brother. I never met him, but your dad did."
The young child let out a happy hum. "Mama told me about him. He was strong and a super big bully, but secretly, she said he was a good person— one of the best she knew, and mama knows a lot of people."
"I just wish he was still here."
Gon pat her head. Aurora probably wished that the most.
Staring at the reflection in the stained glass pane that Aurora Zoldyck herself carefully designed into an intricate art work telling one of her many lifetime's stories of adventures. Each glass shard was separated by a black outline, slowly the pieces blended together the closer one looked.
Tapestries and quilts she hand made were also draped along the walls and even over the couch where the eldest Zoldyck child napped beside Gon's own daughter.
Gon found himself taking a month long break from his usual Hunter duties, visiting Aurora and Killua's cozy and welcoming home sat high above a small town at the top of a hill.
Before coming, he had paid a visit to Kurapika and Leorio, the two of them in which had become apart of the Hunter's Association's Zodiacs after Ging Freecss, Cheadle Yorkshire and Pariston Hill retired. The lot of them had come quite the long dwindled way. A road started and paved from nowhere, and now still continuing embellished in their achievements.
The year Gon, Aurora and Killua were 22, they had made that very year the golden year for the Hunter's Association by becoming the first trio in history to triple debut as triple star Hunters and trained students that later became single star hunters months later, which were more than feat worthy accomplishments to be booked.
