You groaned as you rubbed your forehead, as Jim, Toby, and yourself walked down the street. It had taken exactly 30 minutes to get out of the school. You were lucky enough to get out of the conversation you were in with the adults relatively easy. Although the sucky thing is that you will have to deal with the aftermath of it, since you could see the sun setting in the background.
A car honks at a random person, that the car nearly hit as they weren’t paying attention as they were crossing the road. While on the other side of the street a bell rang from a door opening from a couple coming out from the shop.
“Dudes! That was amazing! You are amazing! I’m amazed at how amazing you both were!” Toby explained out loud as you three continued to ride your bike down the street with construction going on the side of the road by the chinese restaurant YANG. With a guy directing, and checking things around.
“I can’t believe that, that just happened. You're playing though Y/n I have never heard you play like that!” Jim replies, as a high-pitch beeping starts in the background slightly overpowering Jims voice.
“Neither can I, nor can I,” You mumbled to yourself but it was loud enough for both the boys to hear.
“And did you see how the chiquita was looking at you?” Toby asks while riding his bike in between you both with his arms crossed. “You amor totally did you a favor!”
Jim and you chuckled situmalalously, “I’m still getting the hang out it,”
You nodded in agreement while Toby also states right after, “The multi-eye guy said it reacts to your emotional state, the armor turns on when your in distress,”
You dead pan at Toby, “You mean Blinky?” Toby rubs the back of his head as he almost falls and crashes into some construction equipment.
Jim sighs, “But I wasn’t in distress back at school-” They turn the corner and are met with a huge black troll letting out a roar. Standing tall and fists clench and red eyes gleaming in the slight darkness. All three of you gasp, “But I am now!”
“Ah, shit!” You cried out slightly to yourself, as you dreaded this.
The black troll flexes his fingers and clenches them again, and rasps in a dark voice with a growl in there too, “Trollhunter. Merlin’s Creation…Gunmar’s Bane,” He then gets on all fours growling at Jim and glancing at you.
Toby leans in towards Jim and whispers, “I think he’s talking to you,” You facepalm, and sigh deeply. This was not how you wanted this to go…
The black troll roars again and slams his fists onto the pavement, cracking the stone. Standing back up he paces back and forth, setting back down into the sun with one hand immediately pulling back as sizzling is heard.
Jim immediately saw this and pointed, “Look he is afraid of the sun!” You snap your head towards Jim.
“Of course he is dumbass, Trolls turn to stone in the sun! They die!” You snap angrily immediately getting ready to scream.
Toby, ignoring your snappy comment, quickly said, “Not for long!” Jim looks behind him and sees the sun is almost gone.
Red eyes, the now nic name you were gonna call the troll until you knew his name cried out, “The amulet! Surrender it, and I will give you a speedy death.
“Never you stupid red eyes!” You flipped the Black troll off by giving him the birdie, and in return the troll is taken aback not expecting such a rash response from you. And Jim looks at you bewildered, also not expecting that response from you, and then realizing you were in a sour mood.
Toby immediately scrambles and turns around while crying out in a hurry, “Doesn't know how to negotiate with this guy. Go, go, go!” Then all three of you immediately turn around on your bikes and speed off as fast as possible. Just in time too, as the sun no longer covered that street, and Red eyes lunged at Toby roaring and luckily missing. Toby screams his ass off with wide eyes bolted and peddled the fastest he's probably ever peddled in his life.
Before the Black Troll could find you the three of you hid behind a truck, and Red eyes stood up as he also rounded the corner looking around growling slowly searching the area. Not seeing any of you, Bular (although you don’t know his name until right a second ago from suddenly remembering a dream you had) looks around and starts flipping cars and throwing them.
While Toby was very antsy, and panicked as he turned to Jim eagerly and desperately, “Armor up, armor up, armor up! Please, now! Faster!” Jim was overloaded and also very just as panicked as Toby was. While you just paid attention where Bulr was making sure to get the three of you moving when you had to or needed to.
JIm nodded, “Okay, For the Glory of Merlin. Daylight is Mine to Command.” The amulet glows but stops and dies down, not activating. “It’s not working!” You pulled Toby and Jim away and behind the truck, saving your asses a few more minutes of time as Bular just rounded the corner searching the spot you were just in, and growled angrily.
“For the Glory of Merlin. Daylight is Mine to Command,” Jim says once again trying, Putting it in front of his face, staring at it and leaning forwards while Toby holds onto the handle of his bike staring wide eyed. “Seriously, it’s mine to command. I’m commanding here!”
All of you freeze up when you hear the truck getting lifted and turn around only to see Bular lifting the whole entire truck up into the air. “Centuries of Trollhunters, and I will have killed two in almost as many days,”
Toby turned to you two while you hopped onto your bike right away panic rising in your form, “He’s good at math!!!!!”
“Go, go go!” Jim cried out as the three of you bolted out of there on your bikes, while Bular leaned down and grunted aggressively, throwing the truck into the air, which was heading right towards the three of you.
“Flying Truck!” Jim yelled out fearfully which made all three of you bike faster.
“Incoming!” You and Toby yelled out as you took a sharp turn to the left, narrowly escaping from getting crushed by the truck.
Peddling even faster, Jim pants as the pedals on his bike squeak and squeal from the speed a pressure that was being put onto them. Bular ran on all his fours and matched up to Jim’s speed on the other side of the tree lining on the road, and scowled at him with full true intent in his voice.
“I’ll flay the flesh from your bones!” Yelled out Bular as Jim stared wide eyed at him while Toby did his best to keep up to Jim and you.
“I like my bones the way they are. Thanks!” Toby cried out in panic as he almost fell back from accidently doing a wheelie.
You narrowed your eyes, and saw that Bular was gone. Realizing what he was doing you cried out while maneuvering to the sides, “Duck!”
Almost on cue Bular Jumped down right where all of you would have run right into him, smashing the road. Jim maneuvers to the right, Bular going right for him first as he was his target and Jim ducked at the right moment narrowly almost getting his head smashed in. Toby let out a scream as Bular almost took him out instead by almost slamming the middle of his arm onto Toby’s head.
You looked behind you, and glared heavily at the black troll, unknowingly your eyes flashed a white and black light. Bular eyes widen and growls in surprise running after the three of you once again.
“Head down Delancey!” Jim said he sharply turns to the right followed by you and Toby. You hear a crash behind you and immediately know it was another flying truck. Not bothering to look back you trailed as close to Jim as possible without running into him.
Jim looks around and sees the tight space between two buildings, “Behind Stuart Electronics!” Jim quickly said to the two of you with the two glooming red eyes lighting up and stalking at a high pace was right behind them.
Toby shook his head, “You know I can’t fit there!”
“You can fit!” Jim said back in a snap turning with you following behind. You shook your head, and sighed surprisingly not running out of air due to how much peddling you have been doing in the short few minutes.
“I can’t!” Toby cried following you and Jim into the small space.
You snapped your head towards the boy in irritation unlike your normal personality, “You’ve been on a diet, remember?”
Bular skids to a stop as he almost grabs Toby, and immediately walks up and reaches in trying to grab him and pull the poor boy out who was having a panic attack much like a black cat with a mouse just in its reach.
“I can’t fit, I can’t fit,” Toby starts to slowly inched his way through and, noticing he starts smiling, “I can fit. I can fit! I can fit! I’m fitting! Yay, diet!”
Bular reached and slammed his hand down right where Toby just was, and scratched it back leaving deep scratch marks in the pavement, and in frustration he slammed his hands down and roared in anger.
_____________________
It was now completely dark out, and the sun fully set. Jim, Toby, and you were still going full speed ahead across the bridge. Where the lamp posts illuminated the bridge in a soft light, a calm sensation although not exactly in the situation you were in now.
“Catch my breath,” Toby triedly said while Jim was slightly panting, and you had a bead of sweat running down your face, “Look at me, look at me,” Jim and you look at him. “We’re not dead, right?”
A familiar laugh was let out, and you turned your head towards two trolls last night, “Master JIm! Ha-ha!”
You rubbed your eyes in complete annoyance, could this night get any worse….probably. You weren’t gonna be surprised if it did get worse than it already was.
Jim walked towards Blinky and Aaarrrgghh anger and slight fear in his voice, “Bular’s trying to kill us! He chased us all over town!”
“And you’re still alive. I knew you had potential, Master Jim,” Blinky closes his eyes on the right in a form of a blink you suppose, I guess that’s why he is called Blinky.
Toby points at Blinky in a not very happy but exhausted tone, “You have a sweet voice, but you bring death with you!”
You sighed and shook your head, “and you do know that this would have been inetivable, wether or not it was sooner or later,” You reasoned the only one out of the three who understood what would happen the minuete the three of you got pulled into this.
Jim competely ignoring you asked the two Trolls one of the stupidest questions you have ever heard, “You guys can fight him, right?”
The two let out a laugh while you just stare at Jim, “I could not hope to posses the skill to defeat Bular,” Blinky said.
You face palm, while Jim asks about the other one, “What about him? He’s big,”
Aaarrrgghh just tilted his head and answered in one word, “Pacifist.”
Jim just stares at him in disbelief, “Seriously?”
Toby let out a sigh of dissapointment, “Man, such a waste of a hulking brute,”
“Thank you,”
Blinky takes this opportunity to explain the siutation more, “This is why there is a Trollhunter, Master Jim. Aaarrrgghh renouced the violent path ages ago,”
The conversation was then inturptted with a skidding and flash of red and black, as Bular rounded the corner a scowl hard on his face. Growling darkly, and a slight flash of achievement glinted in his eyes although faint.
All of you just stare at him for just a sec, before Blinky imdetely turned around and yelled as the three of you were quick to follow on your bikes, “Follow me! We’ll be safe in Heartstone Trollmarket!”
Blinky slightly wimpers, Toby screams as Bular was right on his tail growling.
In the house they just pasted Eli, was laying down then heard the noice and imedetely sat up, and saw them. Smiling imedetely, he pressed his face agasint the glass looking down the street.
“Yes! I knew it!”
Bular angry, grabbed one of the electric polls and pulled it down hard into the road making the ones headed also fall. Toby being farest in the back noticed the falling gaining up on him, and paniced.
“Oh no!” Toby yelled as one of the light polls fell down in front of him flipping him forward off his bike to almost land on his face. As luckily Aaarrrgghh was fast enough and caught him and tossed him lightly onto his back.
Bular was running and gaining speed on them, on his two feet but caught his foot on Toby’s bike. Growling angerly, he shook it off his foot giving us some more time ahead before he went right back to chasing us once Bular did get it off his foot.
You all were now running in the woods, Blinky was ahead with Jim very close behind. Aaarrrgghh was right behind them with Toby on his back, and you were right behind them sadly closest to Bular who was also right behind you on your tail.
“Master Jim! Don your Armor!” Blinky cried out as he is running, he was also slightly leaning back to his upper part of his body trying to keep up with his legs.
“I’ve been trying! The amulet won’t listen to me!” Explained Jim as he looked at Blinky with aggitation littered in his voice.
“Did you speak the incantation?” Asked Blinky also yelling as he looked towards Jim with nervousness in his voice and face.
You yelled at Blinky from behind, “He has been incantating the absolute crap out of it, and it isn’t working!” You ducked your head as Bular swipped at your head to try to grab you.
Toby was gripping onto Aaarrrgghh for dear life, “Just focus and incant, dude!”
Jim looks ahead and screeches to a stop at the top of the canal, and blinky does a diving forward roll down the canal. Aaarrrgghh slows down slightly, and then slid down the somewhat steep slope. While you leeped with your bike and landed on the wheels bringing it down with you and quickly took your helmet off throwing your bike down with the helmet.
Jim also thew his bike down, and took off his bag quickly to take out the amulet then throwing it to the ground. Looking up in fear, Bular comes sharp turning out of the bushes and runs at the boy growling.
Jim not wasting one bit of time he looked at the amulet, “uh, For the Glory of Merlin Daylight is mine to command,” JIm takes a quick glance up and sees Bular 20 feet away. “For the Glory of Merlin Daylight is mine to command.”
You stared right on the amulet eyes glowing the same as earlier and one thought ran through your head one that was not your own, (at least you thought), ‘V̶͙͉̤̗̰̠͎̀͛̈́̋̓̄͋͒̾̄̽̌̒ȩ̵̡̯̞̥̫̹̩͋̓̋́̉̍̋̐̌͜͠k̸̛̯͗́͑̂͆͒̚k̸̡̪͚̠̥̝̿e̵̠̼̱͉͈̼̖̭̣̮̹̿̓̐͗͊̑͆̀̽̀̔͛͘͜.’
Almost on cue, Jim says the Incantaion one more time this time more calm and collected then he was before.
“For the Glory of Merlin Daylight is Mine to Command,” Jim says and then closes his eyes. Bular comes up to give a killing blow but was stopped when he made contact with Jim’s chest. By the sudden appearance on the glowing blue armor, protecting Jim from dying.
Bular was thrown back roaring pain pain as he glared at his hand, as Jim flew into the air and piece by piece the armor came out and attached to Jim’s body. Jim looked around in shock as this happened along with flying through the air like a shooting star. Blinky, Aaarrrgghh, and Toby gaze followed him through the air in shock. While you held your head with one hand a massive headache coming into play.
Jim then landed on the ground with one knee and skidded backwards on the pavement, his sword appearing in his hand. Gripping it with two hands now, he heaves the sword up in front of him. As Bular come stomping to the edge, with a grim look on his face and roared loudly right at Jim.
Jim, just stares dumb founded, “Uh…Nope,” turning to the right and spriting towards the bridge where you all stood.
Dragging the sword behind him, panting and huffing he looked to the side and saw Bular running on the side on the canal. Turning his head forwards he sudden stood back in shock as Bular now stood in front of him roaring loudly.
“Whoa!” Jim stumbles back stopping himself from running right into his death.
“Use your sword Master Jim!” Yelled out Blinky with his hands cupped around his mouth.
Bular than stood up from his four legged stance and growled at him with extreme murderous intent, “I’ll drink your blood made out of a golblet made of skull!” As he brings his hand infront of him crushing it together in a tight fist.
You furrowed your eyebrows, as you leaned against whoever was next to you which happened to be Aaarrrgghh to support yourself as your vision got slightly blurry, and the headache increased. Aaarrrgghh looked down at you in worry, as he could tell you were dizzy or at least something was wrong with your mental stability or condidtion at the moment.
“Cut him like a meat loaf Jim!” Toby yelled out, in a tiny despreate plea.
Jim looked towards his sword with a frown on his face, but then turned into a look of determination as he brought the sword in front of him with a grunt.
Bular furrowed his eyebrows angry, and then ran at Jim in full speed. A glow emitted from the amulet as it slowly charged the rest of the armor letting the lines indented into the armor glow a bright sky blue. Bular then raised his fist and came down upon him, only to be met with a sword of Daylight. Jim yelled out as he brought his sword up, and when the two clashed a bright blue magic shockwave appeared when the two hit.
Pushing the two of them away from each other, making them both skid against the canals concret. Bular puffs out his chest and stands at his full height, and lets out a roar slamming his fist into the ground right after.
Blinky furrows his eyebrows, and turned to you three. “We must work quickly. Open the portal!” Blinky points to the blank wall of the bridge, and then reached into the bag pulling out a orange glowing crystal, and then threw it to Aaarrrgghh who now didn’t need to support you as your mind finally cleared. “The Horngazel!”
Aaarrrgghh catches the key and pushes it into the wall making a large archway type door, punching it with his fist once he was done. Making the concret withing the doorway break appart and emit and vibrant blue color.
“Whoa,” Toby said, as he stared wide eyed at the forming portal.
You slapped the back of his head, “No, time for sight seeing get in! Or do you want it to be your head!?” You questioned hissing at the boy.
“Okay, okay! Plz, no more of the Y/n version of the Gibs slap!” Toby ran into the portal quickly not wanting another slap in the back of the head.
“Master Jim, hurry! Come on!” Blinky called out.
Bular and Jim were now circling each other not leaving each others gaze, “I’m a little busy here,” Jim says as he spins the sword like he would do before cutting a meatloaf. Spinning around, and coming back up in front of the black troll.
Bular pulls the two twin blades out of the shethes from his back, “You are not fit to wield the amulet, I’ll tear the armor off you! Along with your skin!”
You hissed and shouted in anger, “More lies, and empty threats! You’d expect me to believe that when you have not done so yet in the past few hours!”
Bular glares lightly at you ignoring what you said and raised one of the swords and brings it down towards Jim with full intent of hitting him. Jim dodges to the side, and brings his sword down onto his arm, only to get the sword stuck in it.
Bular lifts his arm, and uses his sword to pull and throw the sword over his head and landed it straight up halfway imbedded into the ground. Bular growls pleased slightly, and turns around to catch his prey only to see that he was gone from the place he once stood.
Jim was running with all his might towards the closing blue portal, seeing you not through yet waiting for him.
“Come on, come on! Let’s go Jim, N/n! Oh, no!” Toby yells as he reaches for the two of you.
You grabbed Jim once he was close enough and practically threw him into the portal. Bular not wanting an opportunity wait to having at the very least bair for the Trollhunter, threw both of his swords.
One almost landing on your head to the right and the other to the left. You pressed your self onto the cement wall, and braced for the worst. With a loud smash Bular had you trapped between him and the wall with no where to go.
Growling he leaned down towards you, “If I can’t catch the Trollhunter right now, then maybe he will come back out if I have yo-” he cut himself off when he not only smelt your sent but also saw the three bracelets on your wrist.
Leaning closer he took another sniff, “You smell, fimalar. I will never forget that scent,” He growled, and reached his hand to grab your arm that didn’t have the bracelets on. Only for you to disappear through the wall as two arms grabbed you and pulled you back.
Bular lets out an angry roar, W̴̛̝̝̭͍̘͉̓̀̿̓̑̔ͅí̸̧͎̬̝̯̟̙̟̮̞̈͊̎͑͗̄̀͛t̴͚͛̊̀͌͘ĥ̶͈͉̫̬̥̼̞̩̀̏̊̒́̋̂́͗̐̕͝ ̴̨̪̜̥̩͖̗̹͉͒̂̈́̅͊̑͆͌a̶̢̠͉͋͜ ̸̮̪̭͚̥́́̚ͅh̴͖͇̼͈̋̿̔͒̐̂͂̏̕i̶̠̝͓̝̹͎̟͙̹̰̿̊͑̄̚n̷̟͚͚͈͔͓͉̫̜̩̈́̌̌̊͜͠͝t̴̡̛̥̳̖̠̮́͑̔̈́́̆̄̓ ̴͚͙̺̑̅͛o̵͎͉̦̣̞͇̰̭͒͜͝͝ͅf̷̟̮͓̹̓̅̇̐́̐͒̚ ̶̧͕̟͇̥̞͚͚͊͛͆s̴̛̛͇̬̙̜̊́͗̃́̽a̴͈͉̘̮͕͚̥̘̰͉̯͎̝̗̔̏̉̚d̸̨͚͓͇̙̜͎̑̎̈́͂́͒͒́̎̍́̋̏͘n̶͉̼͔͙̳͖̩͇̎͛̇̅̌̋̍̓̎͋͝͝͝e̶̳̥͈̙͖̺̝̱͐̀̍͊͆̔͐͆s̴̨̺̖̘͚̤͌̊̊̉͆̒͘s̵̞̖̟̭̦̭̘̪͖̰̪̾̎͌̾͠ ̸̰͓̼͓̙̖͕͔͇̥̂͊̓̃̀̃͗́̽̔̊͛͠ͅạ̶̑̀̅̏̏́ń̵͚̮͛̈́̋́͐͒ḑ̸̫̱̰̠̻̟̮̭̳̥̩́̓͜͝ ̷̧̧̻̗͉͈̳̋̐͝ą̸͖̹͚͔̟̃̂̐̊̒̑́͝n̵͖͇̲͐͆̅̅̏͗̋̓͜͝g̵̟͒͊͑͑̉͘̕̚s̶̱͎̞̳̘̘̦̣͙̤̭̤̟̐̾͌̈́͠ͅt̸̨̯̺̟̬͉̦̮̑ ̵̢̨͚̼͔̮̫͇̖̦̻̀̏̐͠ǐ̷̛̱̱̘̣̉̓́n̷̞͕̫͖̬̙̣͚̪̝̞̭͓̈́̌̉́̊̑̄͒̀̕͘͘͜ ̴̨̢̡̤̥͚̣̬͈̟̙͈̌̀̐̀́̐́͗̆̉͜͝͠͠ͅi̷̩̓̉̌̓̍̒̀̑̕̚ť̴̛̳̗̞̔̇̏̔́̓̒̃,̴̛̼̳͎̗̳͈͇͖̩̳̗͌̊́̋̌̿̈́̅̋̍͝ and slammed his two fists into the wall.
The two boys were heaving and panting heavily, Jim was on the verge of a panic attack. While you were confused, what did he mean and why did he roar like that it was slightly different from the others.
“He nearly… We nearly… He almost…” Jim put both his hands on his chest, and frowned with a deep displeasure with hyperventalation mixed into it.
Blinky, blinked and leaned forward, “Almost what? Speak, Master Jim,”
“He almost killed us, especially N/n!” Yelled Jim extremely angry with not only was their safety put in line, but also yours.
“Almost! A very important word. I life of almost is a life of never,” Explained Blnky as he starts walking away from where they came in, with a finger pointed up to the sky doing a normal teacher finger thing. While Jim, Toby, and you just stared at him in disbelief.
Deciding to change the topic to something similar but different Jim asked too, “Why’d the armor suddenly turn off?”
Blinky turned back around, and continued walking as he saw the three of you starting to follow him, “Master Jim, you are the first himan to posses an amulet crafted for Trolls. It’s to be expected its behavior will be,” Blinky paused for a moment. “Unexpected.”
Blinky then stepped onto a giant rock only to light up as a giant blue crystal, and soon once one was activated the others followed in returned leading all the way down.
“This way, Masters and Mistress. This way,” Blinky said to the three of you gesturing forward.
Toby wowed in amazement, as all three of you took in the beauty this crystals held. (Espcially you since you love crystals).
“Are you sure we are safe in here?” Toby asks, with a questioning tone littered in his voice.
Blinky reassured him, “Indeed. The incantation forbids, entry to hearthstone Trollmarket, by GummGumms such as Bular. For they are the most fearsome of trolls,” Hopping down a step you matched pace with Blinky as you admired the beautifully crafted or naturally grown crystals.
“GummGumms?” Jim followed with the question spree.
Aaarrrgghh hummed, “Scary ones.”
Jim speeds up and comes in place on the other side of Blinky, “Okay, wait, wait. So, Bular can’t get in here, right?” Jim steps in front of Blinky stopping him from going any further. “Into Heartstone Trollmarket?”
Blinky shook his head, “No, Master Jim.” Blinky then grabbed the shoulders of young Jim, and turned him the other way and lead him forward.
The three of you wowed in amazement, as you three walked forwards slowly taking in the beauty which laid before the three of you. “This is the world you are bound to protect, This is Heartstone Trollmarket!”
The huge crystals of all different shades and colors formed, and twisted in some of the most beautiful and unimaginable ways you could think of. Trolls of all different kinds, shapes and sizes walking around down below. Trading and collecting different trinkets and jewels.
But when your eyes laid on the biggest one, standing in the middle of the muge place in all it’s glory. Familiarity, and a memory that was never at least you thought was never yours flashed before your eyes…

A/N : Oh wow that was a long chapter, but hey! I couldn't find a place to stop plus you get a longer chapter to read on top of it! Anyways there are two references here, one is way more obvious that the other. As part of the Speical QnA since no one besides one person has asked myself, nor the characters introduced so far ANY questions. I shall hold a slight competeiction whoever gets the two refernces gets to have a major shoutout, and choose a pathway, (Meaning which way you dear readers are going to go). I get to pick since the Darklands is already decided, as I would like to support both sides of the coin and do half en half. But plz I really want to do this QnA special with it being meaningful, if you can't come up with any questions ask your friends for ideas! You never know~~~. Anyways have a nice day and night! Wherever you are...
P.S. The word count is the story it doesn't count the A/N. And one of the words is in Norwegien since I researched and most of Trollhunter according to Google is part of the Noregien Culture so if you speak Norgien please tell me I have the wrong phrasing or not let alone spelling. (Just a heads up). And Episode 2 is done! and I am already on 71 pages on my good doc aha...aha..aha.
Okay okay I will stop now, don't want to hold you up any longer. It might tickle your funny bone... ehe~...
:)
