Sun started rising above Venice, slowly making It's way inside Dante's bedroom, Zhalia started waking up, clock read 10am, She sat up in bed looking around the room flooded with morning light before eventually making her way to the bathroom. Cleaning her face with cold water, flashbacks from last night started to appear, her cheeks got bright red, luckly she was alone and no one was there to see her, she took her clothes out of the dryer put them on and nicely fold Dante's T-shirt on the nightstand. She wandered down the hall towards the kitchen, there was breakfast waiting for her, just as Dante promised. She ate up, trying to remember as much details as she could from last night, so she could figure out who even that Dante guy was and how did she got into his apartment, after she felt full she cleaned the dishes and sat down on a couch, an interesting folder cought her eye, on which it was written "Huntik Fundation, reporta on a misson #34217" she took it in her lap and started to look into, at first only out of curiosity "So he is working for Huntik foundation," Zhalia was currently looking for a job possibly as a seeker, she was working for Organization, but she left on her own terms after series of unwanted missions and bad relationships, organization doesn't exactly know she left, she just stoped showing up, It's only a matter of time before they figure out she's gone, well maybe they already did. So Zhalia is now a seeker without a job or any kind of proper education, like highchool, she went from streets directly to organization, and now she is here. In Dante's house, looking through Huntik Foundation's files "If i could just find the headquarters, maybe i could get a job there as solo agent or something." Zhalia was currently without a home, they throwed her out of a nearby hotel and somehow she wound up in a bar, which lead into Dante's house "Manhattan, New York headqurters, okay so thats where we are headed" she grabed her things and headed out the door leaving summoned gareon behind, she had about 500$ left, "That should be enough to get me there so i could find that mysterious place."

Now 1000m in the air Zhalia is falling alseep on her plane to New York, meanwhile...

Clock read 12.17pm when Dante opened the doors of his house, only to find it empty, of course he was lowkey disappointed, but he knew she wont stay, Date went into his room, only to find it clean, the bed was made dishes done in the kitchen, there was only a small titan, his tail dipped in black ink, he wrote "thank you" on thin air and dissapeared with green light.

8.34pm Plane landed in JFK, Zhalia blending into a crowd and with the use of thoughtspecter she disappered out of an airport. Walking down the crowdds streets of Manhattan she was looking for a decend place to sleep. She walked by a fancy hotel on her right. Once again thoughtspecter was a good use and she got herslef a fancy room. Looking out the window at the city lights for a moment, many would be so happy to be in New York, not Zhalia, to her it was just another place, tiredness forced her to go to sleep. Sun raised almost to soon. Zhalia already packed her things and went out on a mission of finding the headquorters. Walking through the central park, looking at all of the happy couples, children playing kinda made her feel sad, remembering the fact she didnt have a childhood, she rarely let the past get to her, but sometimes it did have it's own impact. She sat down on the park bench next to a smaller lake, out of the blue Zhalia's head started pounding she soon realized this wasn't a regular headache, it was connected to some kind of powerful magical source, she started walking towards it, it was hurting her head so bad she couldnt even look from the ground, then it suddenly stopped. Zhalia finnaly looked up, she was standing in front of a building, if the headache wouldn't stop she would probably crashed right in the wall, "This must be it," If you werent looking for Huntik Foundation, you could easily misplaced it, walk past it. She took Tekonomicon out of her bag, a device similar to holotome, she still had it after leaving organization. "Tekonomicon, scan me this building," She said, nothing happened only smoke coming out of the device and electricity crackling, "I can't think of anything but the headqurters to be protected like that." She grined to herself as a sign of victory and went inside "Huh, no security, that's interesting," It almost looked like a hotel, there was a receptionist desk and everything. "what can I do for you madam?" said a nice voice behind the counter, "Hi, I was given a mission, and i have to discuss it with a head councilmen." the lady behind the counter started typing into her computer "May i know the name of the mission, so i can sort It out?" Zhalia leaned in and whisphered into receptionist ear "That's a top secret mission if I tell you about it, they will probably kill you too" the lady gave zhalia a faint smile. "Take the elevator to the 6th floor, it should bring you right too the councilmen's office." "thank you" said Zhalia and went her way into the elevator. "Sometimes it's just too easy," Zhalia smiled to herslef and fixed her hair before stepping out of an elevator, right into Metz's office, "Ah our mystery seeker on her mystery mission, the recptionist infromed me yes, but there is one problem, who exactly are you?" Councilmen started kinda roughly, Zhalia smiled at him and took a seat without any premission "I'm Zhalia Moon and I'm here to apply to a job as a Huntik foundation seeker." Metz pressed a button on his phone and said "Send me all information you can on Zhalia Moon." Then he cleared his throat and countinued "So Zhalia we have plenty of seekers, very good seekers, what exactly makes you think you can compare yourself to them?" Zhalia grined yet again "I'm a skilled seeker, I've done my training, i grew up on the street, i am not afraid of getting my hands dirty, other than that i just got myself into a huntik's head councilmen's office without bigger trouble whatsoever, i think you can find me a place." She spoke up, even if she didn't like talking about her past, it seemed as she could maybe touch Metz's soft spot."So, Zhalia, you failed to mention you were part of the organization" He said after looking at the file about Zhalia he asked for earlier, as he spoke he kept his titans at ready just in case. "Yeah, I know, not my proudest time, this man offered me a way out of an orphanage he promised me great power and that I'll be important. It took me some time to figure out things don't work like that" Zhalia sighed half leaning into a commfy leather chair. "So why should I belive you and not send you to the authorities straight?" Councilmen keept on making assumptions based on what he just learned, but who could blame him, the girl wa fresh out of organizations kind. But Zhalia didn't give up, she knew she could proof herslef. "If I was here to end you, I would have done It by now, We wouldn't be having this converstaion, I wouldn't be literally selling myself to you if i was still with the organization, but i need a job, i need some money, also as a proof of loyalty or however you like, this is my Teconomicon" She said pulling a black tablet out of her backpack "It's similar to that holotome thing you use, this are all my ID's and cards with access to certian secret places of Organization's Data" she passed Metz a piece of paper "And those are all the passwords you will need to get access to every file on tekonomicon, everything i know about organization is on there" Metz stared blankly at Tekonomicn and Zhalia, back at the machine and back to Zhalia, he cleared his throat again as the way to breake the silence and spoke up "Well then, go to Italy, Venice at Huntik foundation safe house in 2 days, be there at noon" Zhalia grinned as a thank you and started heading towrds the door, she turned back and said "Wait can i get an adress?" Metz was leaving and office throught the back door but stopped to answer her " You found your way here, if you are all that you were promising me earlier, im sure you'll have no problem finding the place" "thank you" said Zhalia in return and using thoughtspecter she left the building.

Back on the plane for Italy, on a new mission trying to find that safe house yet again, she actually didn't belive Councilmen would let her off that easily she totally forgot about her past in the organization. After a much to long of a flight, she got to Venice, she had just enough money to pay the rent of her old apartment for a week or so, the owner was this nice old lady, she already knew Zhalia by face from her Organization days, she always came there when she had too much on her mind "Your room is clean dear, go ahead you kow the way," "Thank you Mrs. Landricombe." Zhalia thanked her and made her way up the stairway into her room literally collapsing on her bed in seconds, jetlagged she felt asslep.

Meanwhile... Dante was reading newspapper in his house, then suddenly Metz rang up, "Hey Dante, Huntik foundation has a new seeker, she is on try outs and I'll be putting her in team with you Sophie and Lok, I'm sure you can give us the best feedback on how she came up" Dante stopped sipping his coffe for a second to reply to his mentor "So, does she have a name?" Dante grinned while turning another page of the daily newspaper that didn't even bother him much at the moment, "Zhalia Moon, actually a former organization seeker as she told me so I'm going to need you to keep a close eye on her, thats why i put her up with you, im sure you can hande It" Said Metz ending the call between the two of them without further notice, Dante finally giving up on reading the newspaper he went to Sophie's house to tell her and Lok about their new partner, they'll be meeting tomorrow at noon. But oh, even Dante didn't know who she was, he never cought the name of the mysterous seeker that slept in his bed a few nights ago.

It was late morning in Venice when Zhalia finnaly woke up, clock read 11.00am "Oh fuck I'm supposed to be at the safe house in an hour" She quickly got up and literally runed through the door, "How to find it, oh god how to find it, Let's see that Dante guy was a Huntik seeker, so my guess is the safe hose has to be in that part of the town, hyperstride" She jumped up on the roof and started running towards Dante's house, She stopped neraby where she had a good look on the frontyard, there were to teenagers in the playing some kind of giant chess with a little white dragon, "So they are seekers, so if i couldn' scan the headqurters with my Tekonomicon, i also shouldn't be able to scan the safehouse, but i don't have my Tekonomicon, a simple spell should do the trick" she jumped over to the roof, and used a weak boltflare that should still do visible damage to an unprotected house, but on Dante's house there wasn't even a scratch visible, " that means that must be it" She said to herself, clock read 11.55am. Zhalia jumped directly on the coutryard making one hell of an entrance "Where did you come from?!" Lok screamed tripping over Zhalia falling on his ass. "Excuse him, he doesnt know how feet work yet, I'm Sophie Casterwill and this klutz on the floor is Lok Lambert, you must be our new partner" A young woman introduced herself and the boy that almost broke his legs, " Dante is going to be right here, he just went to grab something from inside" Added Sophine, Zhalia's eyes wide open, heart started to pound harder and harder "Dante?, like Dante Vale?" she was worried she'll be working with a guy that saw her puke her guts out. "Yeah, you know him?" asked a girl really interested into a connection between the two od them. " uh-oh not really, i-i just heard of him thats all" Zhalia said, biting her lips. Still unable to belive her ears, she was expecting Metz, yet Dante should at least cross her mind when she figured out his place was a safehouse but it did not "Dante, our new team member just came!" Lok shouted for him. you could hear the door open and close. Zhalia's heart was now beating so hard she was sure everyone could hear it " I'm right there Lok, Zhalia Moon so nice to me-" Dante wasn't able finish his sentence before he realized that his new partner was the woman he was nursing a few nights back. "Well, um, I'm Dante Vale" he cleared his throat and shook Zhalia's hand trying to make it look like it was the first time they ever met. The uncomftrable was in the air, and Lok and Sophie could notice that. Dante and Zhalia did't share a word, they were just looking at each other blankly. " Everything okay with you guys?" Lok asked trying to break the tension. "yeah yeah, It's fine Lok, so uhm, we just got a mission, and we'll be needing some scuba diving supplies, here is a list, will you and Sophie mind go looking for them?" Dante asked kindly so he and Zhalia could talk alone, "Uhm.. yeah sure, why not,"Said Lok looking at Sophie and realizing he isn't the only one finding Dante's behaviour sketchy. Soon they went off. "So, welcome to the team Zhalia" said Dante to the blue haired seeker standing in front of him. " well yeah, thank you and sorry for just leaving the other night but i didn't really feel like staying at someone's house i didn't know" she said trying to clear things up in hope to never have to bring that up ever again. "But it didn't seem to bother you looking through my report to Huntik foundation" he smirked back at her. "How did you-" " I have a thing for details" he winked at her sitting down on the stairs, "So i'm guessing thats how you found Metz" Zhalia nooded "Well I'm a seeker with no job, and i remembered you saying you were a seeker so i figured you had to be working somewher.e" She tried apologizing without actually saying she is sorry. "So Metz told me you were a former Organization seeker?" Zhalia looked over her shoulder trying to avoid talking about that "Not the brightest point of my life but yes" Dante didn't push her to talk, he could see she was uncomfortable, "It's okay, you dont have to discuss that, neither what happened the other night, this stays between us" Zhalia thanked him with a kind smile "Come here tomorrow around 2pm we have a mission to talk about" Said dante to brake the awkward silence that was forming, "Okay, I'll be here" she said looking at the ground, she seemed kinda ashamed of the whole thing "Hey, if you ever need anything you know where to find me" He said to her. "Thank you, but I got to go, lunch is waiting for me" she said not waiting for Dante to reply and she jumped away using hyperstride. That was the kindest thing anybody ever said to her, but she didn't know how to respond so she left, Dante looked behind here seeing her dissaper into the distance. "this is gonna be intresting." he said to himself before heading inside.
