What if Jim didn't have to go back in time? What if there was another way? Find out in this story.
I do not own anything in the story other than things like places or characters that I created.
Jim: Well, I was recently thinking if you could turn me into a Troll again?
Merlin: Again? And what would be your reasoning for that?
Merlin sips some of his tea.
Jim: Arcadia...the world is facing an even bigger threat than Gunmar. Sure, Gunmar defeated Orlagk but Orlagk has allies. Gunmar's allies when he got here didn't have the same loyalty and strength as Orlagk's. Morgana and Angor Rot surely didn't. With all this, a war is on the horizon and we're gonna need to win.
Merlin puts his teacup down and walks up to Jim.
Merlin: Are you sure you want to do this again? There will be a lot of things you can't do if you choose to do this again.
Jim: I know. But for the good of all, I have to make this sacrifice.
Merlin: Okay, here's the list of the ingredients needed for the process.
Merlin makes the list of ingredients magically appear and hands it to Jim. Jim puts it down on a wooden table beside them.
Jim: Already got them. Team, come in!
Toby, Blinky, Claire, and Aaarrrggghhh come in through the door. Toby carries an Antramonstrum shell and Lightning in a bottle. Claire carries the femur of a changeling and a Food Magic 3000. Blinky carries a drop of fart gas in a jar and the other ingredients. Aaarrrggghhh carries a bathtub with water in it. They place all the ingredients on the floor.
Merlin: Oh, well then let's get to work, shall we?
Merlin begins making the elixir. He stirs some ingredients in a pot and pours them into a Food Magic 3000. He blends it for a while then pours it into the lightning in a bottle. He seals the bottle and pours it into the bathtub.
Merlin: I will ask once again. Are you sure about this, James?
Jim: Yes. Yes, I am.
Jim goes inside the bathtub and sinks deep into a dark area. A few minutes later, he wakes up in his Troll form and gets out of the tub. His clothes are a bit torn up due to the change in size.

Merlin: James, how do you feel?
Jim: A little fuzzy but nothing I haven't felt before.
A raven arrives at Merlin's window. Blinky takes it and reads it to the group.
Blinky: It's from Vendel. He's asking us to have a meeting with him with the representatives in Fort Arcturus.
