Hunter X Hunter Symbols Novels & Stories

I asked, recalling that day in the council chamber. Ava shook her head, her movements slow and weak. “Just a shadow through the door crack. But I remember what he wore. The signet ring on his hand when he gestured. It was silver, with a symbol I didn’t recognize. A crescent, or maybe a claw.” The room fell into a heavy silence. Hunter’s head whipped around to look at me, and in that moment, we both realized we were thinking of the same thing…the necklace tucked away in its little wooden box back in his study, the same strange mark etched into the tarnished silver.

He pulled Cora behind him, tucking her under his wing as he glared at the wolves growling ferociously at them. One of the wolves shifted, his eyes landing murderously on Cora before he shifted his attention to Zanicus. He had a crown tattoo on his chest and I locked my eyes on it. I remember this from my history class. The symbol royal guards of the first werewolf family wear on their chest is the same as his. I looked around and noticed all the other wolves who have shifted had the same tattoo on that spot. “Zanicus, what is the meaning of this?” the leader snarled.

Lissa tried to shrug but, the movement was limited to little more than a twitch due to the bindings around her hands. A shudder rippled through Penny, “This whole thing just makes me uncomfortable.” Alex perched herself on the bed next to Lissa and studied her branding, a deep frown settling on her face. “See this here,” she pointed to the branding on Lissa’s chest. Penny stepped closer and gave a slow nod. “This is the symbol for ‘possession’ and this one, this is ‘fertility’ and this one is ‘death’.” Alex pointed to each of the symbols that had been burnt onto Lissa’s skin.

Happy with my decision, I settled in and started to read. * * * Though Cyrus had cited my love of English folklore as his reason for passing this book on to me, there was very little of it covered in the first half of it. There were ancient rites and the symbols associated with them – charms for fertility, for power, for knowledge, for cleansing, and for protection. I skimmed through them all, taking down notes only when something seemed useful. I copied out protective sigils. Thinking of Old Tim, I took extra care when marking out the runes in the sigil against demons. The tome was packed with information about creatures we’d fought in the past, but so far I’d found nothing about vampires,

It has found me. I back away slowly, careful not to trip the wire. As I turn, my boot brushes against something half-buried in the dirt. I look down. A symbol. Carved into a flat stone and smeared with ash. The same sharp curves. The same tattoo the hunters have, also there's also another sign I recognize beside it. The same sign the unknown attackers at the academy forest had in their clothing. They're working together? It seems more like someone is hiring different groups of assailants to get me.

As I flipped through the pages, a passage caught my eye: “In the heart of Silverwood lies a power long forgotten, a bloodline of werewolves with abilities beyond imagination. Their lineage is marked by a symbol, a key to their heritage and a warning to those who seek to harm them.” Werewolves? My heart raced as I read the words. The passage went on to describe the symbol—a series of intricate lines and curves that matched the etching on my door. According to the book, the symbol was a mark of the Silverwood bloodline, a sign of their power and their right to protect the land.

"Could be traps. Could be exits. No way to know." I examined each marking carefully. The carvings depicted various creatures, a wolf, a serpent, an owl, a stag, and others I didn't recognize. One in particular caught my attention: a fox with its tail forming an infinity symbol. "That one," I said, pointing. "You sure?" "No. But it's the only symbol that breaks pattern, all the others face left, this one faces right." Cressa considered this, then nodded. I pressed my palm against the fox symbol.

She wasn’t predictable. He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled, eyes locked on her. Every muscle in her body screamed readiness, but beneath the fury and defiance, he felt the tremor in her pulse, the subtle rhythm that told him she had just touched something far bigger than her. Something she wasn’t ready to understand. The symbol she had found. His chest tightened slightly as he remembered the burned crate. The crescent moon crossed by three claw slashes. He had seen it before on bloodied uniforms, tattooed on forearms, carved into doors where wolves had disappeared without trace.

Mason circled it once. Examining every inch. No wires. No traps. No scent of explosives. Nothing unusual. Except for one thing. A symbol. Burned directly into the wood. A crescent moon. The exact same symbol from the ravines. The exact same symbol Frank recognized. The exact same symbol that made him afraid. The older wolf staggered backward. Harper immediately grabbed his arm. Frank barely noticed. His eyes remained fixed on the crate. "No." The word escaped him. Quiet. Broken.

Rendered final now by Nora’s hands and heart. It had six pieces. Six symbols. Six souls. We took our place around it—Nora at the center, the rest of us forming the outer ring like the spokes of a wheel. Palms pressed to the ground, each one making contact with the sigil at the spot where our House mark had been carved: a wolf head for Hawthorne. A flame and crown for Aurelian. Bat wings for Nerezza. An open book for Everley. A tree for Bloodpine. A circle of runes for Runebound.
