Trollhunters: Becoming

Arcadia Home Sweet Home

"I missed Arcadia," Krel sighed.

"It's hard to remember when it wasn't in ruin," Aja said.

"I like when it isn't," Krel responded.

"You and me both, little brother."

"So," Krel started. "Straight to Jim's house first?"

"I'll race you there?" Aja smirked.

"Three two one go!" Krel exclaimed, already running.

"No fair!"

By the time they reached the culdesac, Krel and Aja were out of breath.

"Oh. I forgot how easy it was for humans to run out of oxygen," Krel panted.

"Agreed," Aja gasped. "But I won!"

"You're such a gloater," Krel shook his head.

"But a winning gloater," Aja grinned. "Come on! Let's go see Jim!"

"The lights are on, so he's probably awake," Krel noted.

They walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door opened. Aja and Krel scrunched their faces in confusion.

"You're not Jim," Aja said.

"No," Strickler replied. "I'm not. Who are you?"

"He's not Jim, but this man is familiar," Krel said.

"Walt?" Barbara called out. "Who's at the door?"

"Friends of Jim, I believe?" Strickler responded. Barbara joined Strickler by the door and looked at Aja and Krel.

"What are your names, kids?" Barbara asked.

"I'm Aja," Aja said.

"And I'm Krel," Krel added. "And what is your name, familiar man?"

"Walter Strickler?" Strickler responded.

"Aha! I knew I knew you! You're not a troll-like last time, though," Krel hummed.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Oh! You're the aliens Jim has been talking about," Barbara realized. Krel gasped in offense.

"I do not like that term! We prefer Akiridions," Krel cut in.

"Sorry," Barbara apologized. "Akiridions."

"So, Akiridions," Strickler started. "What brings you here so late at night?"

"We wanted to see Jim. We just got to Arcadia. Is Jim home?" Aja asked.

"Oh. Jim doesn't live here anymore," Barbara said. "He lives in Trollmarket."

"He does?" Krel asked. Barbara nodded. "Oh. Well, I guess we need to go to Trollmarket."

"To Trollmarket, then!" Aja exclaimed, jumping off the steps.

"Thank you for the information," Krel waved. "Have a nice night Barbara and familiar human!"

"Nothing interesting appears to be on!" Vex said, flipping through the television channels.

"What do humans do for fun then?" Zadra asked.

"According to my research and immediate tools nearby. Possible activities would be a game called hide and go seek or dancing to music."

"Both of those activities sound boring," Zadra sighed.

"Ricky and Lucy would probably know what to do," Vex sighed.

"Who are those people?" Zadra asked.
