"Very well then, thank you for your assistance" he uttered and Delia barelynodded. Emi could see her sigh when Metz and Dante were not looking. "But I believe that everyone here is curious to know what is an abnormal titan and why did it attack my team"

Emi looked at Dante and nobbed many times. This question was tickling the back of her head all this time and she really wanted to know the answer. Metz, who apparently knew the answer himself, signaled them all to sit down in the big green couches of the hall.

Delia sat on the armchair besides the couch that Metz and Emi sat when Dante sat on another couch at the opposite direction of Delia's seat to be able to get full vision of her expression's as she is talking. Delia eyed them all indifferent and heaved a sigh.

"So, an abnormal titan is what I called, the unnecessary my clan keeps seekers away from. An abnormal titan is, as the word itself might say, a titan that doesn't belong to any of the types of titans you know. They might be combinations of it, look like other kinds of titan, have similar origins with them or have completely different origins. They don't fight like normal titans and have unpredictable abilities. Each titan has its own unique ability, so we cannot categorize them. A common characteristic we have noticed in many abnormal is that they can reproduce, which results to the creation of more abnormal with more unique and unknown abilities. The titan your friends fought is an abnormal kind of a mixture of Draco and Lithic-titan. He would take forms of many creatures of ancient Greek mythology and constantly change, while its size was three times your Metagolem's." she paused and averted her gaze from Dante, who seemed really interested in the story and simultaneously deep in thought, to Emi, who was stunned. She believed that being the forbidden Casterwill is the weirdest and... Abnormal thing a seeker could hear, since even today there are many things not known about the Casterwill. But right now, not only she just officially became a part of the seeker world, but a whole new world not even seekers have heard of is opening up to her. She is really keen on finding out even more and sucks the knowledge out of Delia and in addition, she already feels connected to it. She is a forbidden Casterwill, an almost unknown kind of seeker to the Huntik world, and the same goes for Delia... well, she is not forbidden, but she is a member of this Red Dragon Clan, which also lies in the depths of the unknown. If she can train herself to become a seeker and not risk revealing her forbidden powers, Delia is the perfect mentor for her, that she has convinced herself about. If only she can convince Metz to join Delia. After all, she has seen all these abnormal, a little bit of forbidden magic won't surprise her or scare her away right? After Delia took in Emi's interested expression, she continued.

"There are many abnormal which we have failed to examine and still search for them, but that's another issue. Most of them hold a territory attack only if someone invades it when others can attack for no reason. Some of them have the need to eat unlike normal titans and others not. In your friends case, this titan is letting people get in his territory on purpose to trap them and satisfy his feeding needs. Their territories are had to be traced, since many of them are migrators and change it from time to time. Their transportation is also another very detailed subject, especially for the big sized titans. I am afraid I cannot provide more information both due to the complication of the subject and due to my position in the clan. Metz already knows about our existence and he was supposed to be the only one."

"You see Miss Santiago; it bothers me that my team runs into an abnormal territory. I understand that tracing them might be a difficult task but as you mentioned earlier, it is your job to keep them away from our business." Dante stated the question burning in his and his mentor's mind all along and justifying the serious expression still plastered on his face. Emi now felt lightly scared, the feelings in her gut getting stronger. Being a Casterwill gives her some kind of... weird feelings and help her sense danger around her and right now she believes that this is the reason of that bad feeling she had this morning. Not the test she went though, not the fear about revealing her identity, but the timing. She chose to join the foundation at a time when a new threat might appear and she is not even familiar with the other Huntik enemies, even though she kept herself aware of the events occurring in the Huntik world, she is about to witness something not even ordinary seekers were ready for. So why did she feel it durning the test? Delia's gaze hardened upon Dante's statement and her blade grey eyes felt like they were stabbing Emi.
