Trollhunters: The Written Future

Hero with a Thousand Faces

Jim smiled lightly, Vendel standing straight as the boy spoke. "So, new stones, new powers. What else can it do?"

"Blinkous," Vendel called out and the troll had come running, placing a strange device on the floor and letting it open as the elder continued to answer. "Your "periodic table" is amusing. Uncovering but a few elements," gold had shot in a tall stream upward, lighting up the small space and magically appearing the periodic table known to the humans. However, when Vendel had tapped the magical table, it had spread, balls of orange appeared, bringing more scientific proof to the world, undiscovered elements. "But in truth, there are more than you can ever imagine."

"Wait, hold on a minute!" Eli excitedly started, "so, despite all we learned in science, the whole periodic table, we truly didn't learn everything like we thought!? We only grazed the surface! Look at it, all the amazing unknown things out there that Trolls have discovered but yet HumanKind could never figure out!?"

"So, what Eli is saying is that school is pointless and we are learning much more about History and Science from Trolls while the books or teachers mentioned nothing about it because it was either hidden or lied about? How special are we?!" A random student replied, hands on their cheeks as they marveled at the fact.

"Can we mention how beautiful all this is right now? The golden magical balls that are appearing right before our eyes!?"

Toby snorted, "just imagine paying to take classes so you can teach a bunch of kids science but realizing you truly learnt nothing." He turned to the science teacher who was currently losing their mind over the news, even trying to understand what was on the screen.

As Jim was fascinated by the sight, taking in what surrounded him. Aaarrrgghh had joined them, box in hand and Vendel continued. "We have, in our possession, a few remaining stones that Trollhunters past have used to unlock their potential. Stones that will grant swiftness, a glimpse into your enemy's mind, even the power to walk in daylight."

The brute of a troll had opened the box, revealing a bright light that shined from the numerous gems and stones, vibrant colors radiating from each and every one.

"Um, I think I'm good with that one," Jim stated, pulling off his amulet.

"Shall we see how good you are with the rest?" Vendel asked, holding out his hand and letting Jim take the stone. He placed it in the amulet, the orange hue now within the amulet. He placed it back on his chest, letting the Eclipse armor surround him.

From the confident, resting face of Jim, the scene quickly changed to the boy nervously walking up alongside a narrow wall, stumbling and grunting with every step. Vendel watched from below, informing him on the history of it while watching the boy struggle.

"Why do I feel like Jim does this all the time?" Mary asked, "we've seen him run up walls already."

"He's growing, he is unlocking skills without the help of stone. However, it could be useful if he needed it for a certain situation where he couldn't." Vendel answered.

"Yeah, I swear, I definitely ran up and across walls.... Man, am I cool."

"This stone was used by Araknak the Agile. There was no obstacle he could not traverse." Jim had finally gotten the hang of it, arms no longer flailing as he laughed, running up the pole with a smile.

"Just make sure you keep your focus," Blinky stated, the boy not hearing him and turning, his feet beginning to slip.

"What? What'd you say, Blink?" His feet pulled away from the surface, Blinky gasping and holding up his arms, running to catch him but was too late. Jim had already collided with the ground, groaning in pain.
