Huntik rambles - zhalia and gareon
these are just. thoughts that i have about huntik and/or hcs. as i said before, i believe zhalia should be the first one to gain powerbond and i think it should happen at the end of s1, when she becomes her true self w the huntik team. when it happens, dante is not at all surprised, because he always knew their bond was different. see: gareon comes out of the amulet naturally if zhalia needs him (is sad, is in danger etc), something not even his caliban does. some of gareon's ability, she can use simply through the amulet. gareon knows what to do without her telling him.
i envision powerbond as a simple shift in the seeker/titan relationship, rather than a change of looks, which frankly is mostly functional visually than practically. so Gareon looks the same. he just gains all the power ups (mental powers, longer invisibility). but the point is, when it happens, zhalia is weirded out because "gareon can do that?" and dante realizes what it is, ie this unique, rare connection he'd never seen before. zhalia low-key spirals because she doesn't believe she should be special. in fact, she thinks she's unworthy and can't quite comprehend how this would happen to her.
regardless, for a long time she's the only one with this power/bond (pun not intended), which makes her uncomfortable in itself because she feels it exposes her, her loneliness and her relationship with Gareon, which is very emotive.
eventually, dante tells her it's not a bad thing at all. it's just a part of her story/who she is, and he loves who she is.
i also think it's him who suggests she should have Januseea the gatekeeper, as she's the most spiritually connected with titans and their world. he's 100% right and zhalia bonds easily with the titan. zhalia is still confused as to how this could be.
(so, i have huntik fics in the works. these are all premises to that.)
