"It's called a shifter," said Rein.

"A shifter?", said Adil. *confused

The twitching eyebrows around the table clearly depicted the confusion among the elders, for it was the first time they had heard of such a word.

"It is a creature that can shape shift into any form", said penguin standing up on the table where he was seated initially.

"What do you mean creature? She is my sister!!" said Heath in an angry and confused tone.

"She is not!", affirmed Rein staring at Heath coldly.

There was a wave of disarray among the elders, subsiding which Haldem said," Ok, ok Rein! so what you're saying is the woman who you healed the prior night isn't Heath's sister but in fact is a creature that has taken her shape, is that right?"

"Then where is my sister?" asked Heath in a worried tone.

"Rein!" yelled penguin as if trying to stop him.

*Rein ignores penguin "Most likely dead", said Rein looking Heath right in the eye.

For a moment Heath was taken aback, his emotion overflowed leading to confusion and rage his hairs started to ignite, which alerted Rein to reach for his sword in order to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

As Heath was about to advance toward Rein, Nord and Vilson intervened standing between Heath and Rein.

"Calm down Heath!", said Vilson holding on to Heath's shoulder.

"What Rein said isn't a fact yet", said Nord trying to dampen the intense situation.

"What are you a kid!" said Rein, taunting heath, he further added, "What were you even trying to do, fight me? who told you the truth!"

Glancing at penguin Rein let out a little sigh and standing up from his chair leaning forward putting both his hands on the table he said, "You should know where to divert you're pitiful rage!"

"What did you say!" yelled Heath pushing Nord and Vilson aside.

"You're going too far [directed toward Rein]," said Nord grabbing Heath from his shoulder to stop his steps.

"Calm down everyone", said Adil standing up from his chair.

"Rein although what you said is right, but you should keep a tab on your words", said Adil in a serious tone.

"Right now, what we need to need to confirm is whether Keath who is living with us right now is really Heath's sister or not", said Walt.

"Walt is right", said Haldem, he then added," Rein how do you know that Keath is a shifter?"

Ater thinking for a few seconds Rein sat back on his chair.

"What if I say, I know a shifter when I look at one," said Rein.

*penguin slapped his head as if he knew what was coming
