Chapter 6/part 1
"Come on Hannah",I groaned as I threw her a black robe that I dug out of the garbage.
"Please don't make me wear this again.I can't stand the smell of it",Hannah said.
"Unless you want to be a Troll's chew toy,I would suggest you wear it",I said.
"Well maybe you should have remembered to bring an actual,clean robe!",Hannah said.
I rolled my eyes as I put on the robe.After Hannah and I put on the robes,we pulled the hood over our heads.
"How long is this going to take?",She asked.
"As long as it needs to",I said as I crouched down behind a bush.
"Why are you crouching?The trolls aren't here-",She started but before she finished her sentence,I pulled her down by her arm.
"Shhhh",I whispered as I heard footsteps.
I peaked over the bush to see the same two trolls that we saw the other day.
"How did you know what time they would be here.They are scared of daylight",Hannah asked.
"Lucky guess and they are under a bridge so they don't get burnt by the sun.It protects them",I whispered as I creeped out from behind the bush.
As they opened the door to Trollmarket,Hannah and I ran in behind them before it closed.
"Do you remember your way around",Hannah asked.
"I Uh...",I said, before I was cut off by a voice.
"Get down!",Hannah said in a whisper yell voice.She quickly pushed me behind a crystal.
We got down behind the crystal as the door opened up again.
A huge troll that was grey with,what looked liked moss,on his back entered along with a small blue troll.The small troll was blue,had six eyes and four arms.
"What are we going to do about these Goblins?The Trollhunter cant possibly get rid of them all before they hurt the humans",The small blue troll said.
"So they are doing something about them",I mumbled.
I gasped and covered my mouth as the trolls turned around.
Hannah glared at me as I made an apologetic look.
I mouthed the words 'sorry' to her as the small troll walked up to the crystal.Hannah and I looked at each other with wide eyes as we backed up into the crystal as far as we could go.We quickly pulled our knees to our chest as the small troll looked over the crystal.
"Hmmm",he said before walking off.We waited till we heard their footsteps fade down the stairs until we got up.
"That was close",I mumbled.
"Ya think",Hannah said.
"Oh hush.Im just really surprised that the Trollhunter is actually doing something with the goblins",I said.
"Did you hear the part where the troll said something about how the Trollhunter can't possibly handle all the goblins himself",Hannah asked.
I nodded."That's why we are looking for a book with information on Goblins.That way we will be ready to fight them."
"Didn't Winter say that it was only the Trollhunters job to handle the goblins.I really don't want to feel Winters wrath when she finds out what we have been up too",Hannah said.
"She's not going to find out",I said as we descended down the stairs.
"I can not believe I'm doing this",she muttered.
We went around the corner and made sure to cover up our whole body.We don't want Trolls to freak out if they see humans.
Hannah and I quickly walked through TrollMarket but as we were about to be at the library,I noticed Hannah wasn't behind me.
My eyes widen as I quickly look around for her."I really need to put a leash on her",I muttered.
I walked through the shops until I spotted Hannah looking at things.
"Hannah!",I yelled in a whisper.
She turned around upon hearing my voice."Look at these",She said in aw.
"Don't touch anything",I said as I smacked her hand away from a glass item.It had some yellow liquid in it that smelled like stinky socks.
"Let's go",I muttered as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the small Library.
We went inside and looked for the book.After about 10 minutes,we found a book and laid it down on the stone table.
"Alright,let's see",I said as I turned the page.
"So apparently,if you kill one goblin,the others with target you for death.They also smell fear and are very territorial",Hannah read.
"That's amazing",I said with sarcasm dripping from my voice.
Hannah laughed as she continued reading.
"Goblins multiply more and more over time and sleep in green cocoons.They produce green slime that gives them their greenish color.They are also known for following their leader",Hannah said.
"So they sleep at night",I asked.
"Well,Its says that goblins hate the sun so they usually nest in a dark area with a huge amount of room",Hannah said.
"Perfect!We can lead some goblins into the forest and slice and dice them",I said.
I looked at the time as my eyes widen."Oh crap,I'm going to be late for rehearsal!"
"Let's go then",she said.
I closed the book and ran out of the Library to see that there weren't any trolls around.
"Where did all the trolls go?",I asked.
"Maybe a meeting or a book study",Hannah suggested as we continued to run through trollmarket.We ran up the stairs and looked around.
"We don't have a key to get out,do we?",I muttered.
"Nope."
There's got to be one around here somewhere.
We quickly went down to the shops again and looked inside of them.
"Found anything yet",I asked.
"Nope,you?"
"Not yet",I said.
I looked under a desk until I noticed something glowing in the corner.
I grabbed it and inspected it.
"I found it",I yelled.
"Great Job,let's get out of this place",I said.
As we where about to leave the store,we bumped into something.
"Oh crap",I said as I looked up.
"What do you think your doing in here?",The troll said.
"We um...were just leaving",I said as I put the key behind my back.
The troll saw the key in my hand and growled.
"You shouldn't have that",he said as he tried to take it.
"Nope!",Hannah yelled as we ran under his arms.
We quickly ran up the stairs until the troll grabbed me.
"Catch",I yelled as I threw the key at Hannah.
"What am I suppose to do with it?",she asked.
"Just run",I said.
Hannah nodded and continued up the stairs without the troll seeing her.
"Where's the key",he growled.
I gulped when I saw his sharp teeth."I-I don't have it",I muttered.
"You are very small to be a troll",he said as he pulled my robe off.
"Oh crud",I said as the robe fell in the floor.
The trolls eyes widen as he looked around."Human dinner sounds delicious",he said as he was about to eat me.
The only way to get out of this is to use my amulet but I can't in front of trolls.
I was about 3 inches from his mouth when I decided to use my amulet.
"For the glory of Merlin,Moonlight is mine to command",I said as my armor formed around me.
The troll immediately dropped me as I grabbed my sword.
"You look just like Trollhunter",he said.
I gave a confused look until he punched me into the floor.
I groaned but quickly jumped at him and used my sword to slice his arm.As he yelped in pain,he clawed at me with his hands until I backed into the wall.
I used my sword to deflect his hands until he finally got a hit on me.
My sword disappeared as I tried to get up.
"(Y/N),use your wings!",I heard Hannah yell.
My wings started to flap as I flew straight in the air.
The troll watched as I flew up into the air and up the stairs.
"Get back here!",he yelled as his voice faded.
I saw Hannah at the exit as she drew a circle.We both exited trollmarket as the door closed behind us.
"That was a close one",I said as I landed.
"Yup",Hannah said.
"At least we got the information we needed",I said.
"Let's go,your going to be late",Hannah said.
"It's still day outside so we have to make sure no one sees me",I said as I picked Hannah up.
I flew in the air and up into the clouds as we searched for the school.
"Over there!",she yelled.
I looked at the school and dropped Hannah down in front of the entrance.
As I landed,my armor disappeared and I quickly stuck my amulet in my pocket.
"Hurry",Hannah said as we ran inside.
We ran to the theater room as I saw Steve on stage.
"Oh hello Miss.(L/N).Since you missed last rehearsal,Miss.Nuñez filled in for you.Don't let it happen again",Miss.Janeth said as I nodded.
Hannah sat down beside of Miss.Janeth as I went backstage.
"Hey (Y/N),glad to see that your here",Steve said.
I rolled my eyes as I put my amulet in my bag and sat it down on a chair.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've been promoted",Steve said with a smirk.
"Your not Romeo,your only the understudy",I said.
"Not anymore",He said proudly.
"What?",I said.
I walked out on stage and looked at Miss.Janeth.
"When did you replace Jim",I asked.
"Last rehearsal.The one that you missed",she said.
By the look on Hannah's face,I could tell she felt bad for Jim.
"Alright",I said as I went back behind the curtain.
"What's this princess",Steve asked as he held up my amulet.
"Give that back"I said.
"What is it?",he asked as he held it in the air.
"Please give it back",I said.
"Nope",He said.
"Hey Steve,there's a girl behind you that likes you",I said.
"What?Where?",He said as he turned around.
As he turned around,I grabbed my amulet out of his hand."To easy",I said as I put it in my pocket.
"Alright,places!",I heard Miss.Janeth say.
———
"You ready",Hannah said as we walked up to Diamond City.
"Not really",I muttered.
"Look,you'll do fine.Im sure that you'll win against a fire breathing beast that wants to kill you",Hannah said.
"Wow,you are very positive even though you are about to see me die by a dragon",I said.
"No you won't",She said.
I shook my head as we walked near the arena."Why did we agree to have a battle at midnight!Im going to be falling asleep in class tomorrow",I said.
"Your The dragon Hunter,not me",Hannah said.
I shrugged as we entered the arena.There were tons of Dragons perched on the edges of the walls.
Winter flew down to me and smiled."Good Luck,Dragon Hunter",she said.Winter flew back up to a perch with the rest of the dragons except her perch was a little fancier than the rest.
Star and Flappper walked up beside of Hannah and I as Winter spoke."The battle will begin in 5 horns."
I gave Flappper a curious look."It means 5 minutes",she said.
"Oh,ok.Well where do I go to warm up",I asked.
"Follow me",Star said.
We walked to the corner of the arena and into a mini room.
"This is where we prepare our dragons for a fight",Star said.
The room had all kinds of armor and weapons on the walls.It also had a dragon first aid kit,which is kinda weird.
"You need a helmet",Star said as she grabbed a helmet.
"Um Star,I'm not a dragon.I can't fit that",I said.
"Oh,that's right.My bad",she said as she grabbed another helmet.
"This should work",she said.
"This is cool and it fits me perfectly",I said as I put the helmet on.
"Wow (Y/N),I cant even notice who you are in that",Hannah said.
"I made it",Flappper said.
The helmet was silver with majestic purple swirls that glowed.It also had dragon horns that came out from the top.It covered my whole face but it had a eye holes so that I could see.
"It looks like it was made for you.It also matches your armor",Hannah said.
"Thanks Star",I said.
She smiled and nodded as the crowd started cheering.
"On the left,we have BurningFlame",Winter yelled as the crowd yelled in excitement.
"Good luck",Hannah said while giving me a thumbs up.
"On the right,we have (Y/N),The First ever,human Dragon Hunter",Winter said as I walked out.
Most of the crowd booed while only a few cheered for me.
"Fight to the death",Winter yelled
"TO THE DEATH?",Hannah and I yelled in union.
BurningFlame laughed."You didn't know? What a teacher",She said while laughing.
"Don't talk bad about Star.She is an
amazing teacher",I said.
"Well prove it",BurningFlame yelled as she spread out her wings.
I immediately regretted everything I have done.Why did I pick up the amulet?Why did I agree to get involved in all this drama.Why did I agree to being the dragon hunter?
"For the Glory of Merlin,Moonlight is mine to command",I said as my armor formed.
BurningFlame roared as I brung out my sword."You will die",she shouted as she started breathing fire at me.
I used my wings to fly in the air as I struck her with my sword.She growled and attracted her claws out as she flew at me.I immediately flew past her as I dodged her claws.At the last second,she grabbed my foot and slammed me to the ground.My sword also disappeared as it hit the ground.
"Ouch,that's gotta hurt",I heard Hannah said.
As I was on the ground,BurningFlame was above me,looking down at me with her razor sharp teeth.
She opened her mouth and was about to burn me to a crisp until I noticed one of her wings was resting on the ground.
I summoned my sword and struck her on her wing as she yelped in pain.
"Did you teach her that",Hannah asked Star in amazement.
"Nope"
I quickly got up as BurningFlame held her wing in her claws.
"Can't fly now,can you?",I asked.
BurningFlame stayed silent as she got up.
"This is for trying to kill me",I said as I raised my sword.
Her eyes widen as she backed up to the edge of the arena,below was the human world.
She kept stepping back until I noticed her slip back and hold on to the edge with her claws.
"Go ahead and kill me if your so tough",She hissed.
I pulled my sword above me head and was about to strike until I started thinking.I lowered my sword and let it disappear in my hands.
"You aren't tough enough to wield the amulet",she hissed.
"Then why did it chose me! Look,you don't have to act tough in front of everyone just to make you a better person",I said.
"You hurt my wing though",she said.
"But I didn't kill you.Killing someone is not the correct way of handling things.Same goes for you,you shouldn't have to kill someone just to show you are worthy of the amulet.You are good enough by just being you.If you were not chosen by the amulet then that's not your future.Maybe your future as something better in stored for you",I said.
"I guess your right.You know,your not so bad after all",She said.
I smiled as I helped her up.
"Sorry about your wing",I said.
"It's fine.It will be healed in a couple of days",she said.
Dead silence filled the crowd as Winter flew down to us.She didn't look very happy.
"You where suppose to fight to the death",she said.
"I know",I said.
"But,I do know that everything you said was correct.The amulet chose you for a reason.A dragon Hunters Job is to fight and save.You showed courage and great strength when you fought off BurningFlame and you did the right thing by not killing her.You stuck with what you believe in instead of doing what everyone else wanted you to do.You knew that the rules wasn't fair and you stuck with your heart.Thats what it takes to be a true dragon hunter.Believing in what you do shows people who you really are and you showed everyone tonight that you are a true dragon Hunter.Good work",Winter said.
"Thank you Winter",I said as she smiled.
I looked back at BurningFlame."Thank you for saving my life.I owe you an act of graduate",She said.
"Oh it's fine.You don't need to show me an act of graduate.Being my friend is all that I would like",I said.
She nodded as she walked away with the other dragons.
I turned around to see Hannah running at me.
I took my helmet off,letting my hair fall down to my back.
"You didn't die!",she said as she hugged me.
"Yup"
"True act of courage and being brave is all it takes to have a good heart and that is you (Y/N)",Star said.
"You are an amazing person and don't let anyone change that",Flappper said.
I smiled and hugged them."You guys are the best",I said.
As we were hugging,I felt a slight sting on my arm.
I stepped back and held my arm.
"Are you ok",Hannah asked.
"I'm not sure",I muttered.
I let my armor disappear as I looked at my arm.
"Holy wings",Star said.
"Is it that bad",I asked as I looked my arm.
There was a huge gash in it and it's was bleeding badly.
"We need to patch you up,stat",Star said.
I nodded as she flew away and came back with some white wrapping and tape.
Hannah grabbed it and wrapped my arm with it.
"There",she said.
"How am I going to go to school with this huge thing on my arm",I asked.
"A hoodie I guess" Hannah suggested.
"Maybe but as long as no one finds out,I'm good",I said.
"I have a big test tomorrow so we got to go,Bye guys",I said as I summoned my armor.
"Bye you two",Flappper said.
I smiled.Hannah and I flew down to our houses and got only 5 hours of sleep.
