Angor Rot and the others stared at me in shock, then the trolls began cheering. Some of the animus totems came charging towards us, but Draal and Claire blocked them from reaching Jim and I. Claire stated, "You two handle Angor. We got this." Jim and I looked at one another and gave each other a curt nod before charging down to face Angor Rot. Another animus totem tried to charge him and Jim blocked it with his shield. I pushed Jim out of the way as Aaarrrgghh charged through and took out the animus totem.

        "When will you learn that Daylight is mine to command?" Angor Rot questioned. Angor used his enchantment on Jim and Daylight flew to Angor's hand. Then, Jim's armor glowed and Daylight went back to it's Trollhunter.

        "And when will you learn that Daylight is the Trollhunter's weapon? Not yours." I stated. I charged at Angor while he was in shock. The bow transformed into daggers and I sliced Angor Rot's right hip like he did mine. Angor screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

        "Guess I should thank-you for giving me the stink eye." Jim said.

        "My eye!" Angor Rot exclaimed. Angor Rot attempted to attack me, but I quick got out of the way as Jim charged Angor Rot. Angor Rot blocked Jim's attack and Jim back flipped out of the way before Angor Rot could strike him. I managed to grab Angor Rot and I threw him towards one of the shops. Angor Rot crashed against the wall. When he got up, he clutched his shoulder and I was rather satisfied that I was able to repay him for the damage that he caused me.

        "You destroyed my soul, Trollhunter. Now I will harvest yours as I kill your sister." Angor Rot threatened as Jim and him locked weapons.

        I knocked him aside with my bow and I retorted, "You know, you're threatening quite a bit, but you're not falling through with any of those threats." Angor Rot growled and charged me. Jim stood in front of me, but I pushed him behind me as I quickly blocked Angor's strike.

        Man, having unlocked this power to turn the tides of battle is making this so much easier. I felt like I could do anything. Suddenly, Angor Rot grabbed my arm and threw me against a boulder. I cried out in pain and my armor disappeared. I cursed myself as I realized my mistake. I had forgotten rule number 1: Always be afraid. I had gotten too arrogant there and Angor Rot had used that to his advantage. I attempted to stand but gasped in pain. I felt so sore and I was weary. I didn't know what was wrong. I felt fine not even five seconds to go. I have taken hits much worse than that.

        Angor Rot strolled towards me and said, "Your arrogance has cost you now, Wielder, and, now, the Trollhunter will watch you die." Then, Jim got in front of me and blocked Angor Rot's strike. I heard a horn honking and turned to see Blinky saying, "Oh! I enjoy this horn!"

        "It's not "hunter", Angor. It's "hunters"!" Jim exclaimed. Before Blinky crashed into Angor Rot, Jim grabbed me and got out of the way.

        "I drove! Did you see? I drove a human automobile! What a thrill!" Blinky exclaimed. Jim chuckled and turned to me asking, "Are you alright?"

        "I will be in few moments." I told Jim. Jim looked worried, but his attention was drawn back to Angor Rot as we heard Blinky cry out. He exclaimed, "Blinky!" Angor Rot lifted mom's car and threw it against the stairway. Blinky looked a bit frazzled, but seemed okay.

        "You thought that I could be defeated that easily? That your human contraption could kill me!" Angor exclaimed. I struggled to stand up and saw that the battle was not going in our favor like it was before. I need to summon the the power once more. I attempted to do so once more, but nothing happened. What was wrong? Draal came and helped me up.

        "Draal, what's happening? Why is my strength depleted and why can't I summon the power to turn the tides of battle once more?" I questioned.

        "That is price to summoning the power to wield the Thriskule. It can only be used once each battle. The more experience you have the longer duration of this power will last. The reason why your strength has depleted is because when your armor disappears, which is the source of the power to turn the tides of battle, you will feel the actions of the people that you've helped aide including your own battle, come upon you. I will explain it more later." Draal promised as he destroyed an animus totem.

        I felt some of my strength returning and dodged an animus totem that attempted to strike. The bow transformed into daggers and I threw them towards the animus totem which destroyed it. My power to turn the tides of battle might me gone, but I am still the Wielder of the Thriskule. I grabbed the totem and broke it in half so that it wouldn't reform.

        "Aaarrrgghh! We require your strength!" Blinky exclaimed. Draal and I fought side by side watching each other's backs.

        "Toby!" Jim exclaimed. My attention was drawn towards Toby. Angor Rot had turned his attention towards him and was going to kill him. No. Angor Rot threw the Creeper's Sun dagger towards Toby.

        "Toby, look out!" I shouted. Toby was like a little brother to me. I couldn't lose him. I charged towards him as fast as I could, but I wasn't going to reach him in time. Suddenly, Aaarrrgghh jumped in front of him and the dagger struck him in the heart.

        "No!" Toby exclaimed. He ran towards him and I struck down the animus totems that threatened to hurt Toby as he ran towards Aaarrrgghh's side. I couldn't hear what the two were saying in Aaarrrgghh's last moments, but I knew that it wasn't my business. I turned around and saw that Aaarrrgghh was transformed into stone. No, not Aaarrrgghh. Then, Toby turned towards Angor Rot and screamed, "I'm going to kill you!"

        He kept attempting to strike Angor Rot, but Angor Rot kept dodging. Angor Rot summoned a fire ball and I pushed Toby out of the way before it struck him. Then, Angor Rot was struck with Jim's thigh blade and Jim shouted, "I destroyed your soul. Your fight is with me! Not them!"

        "As you wish, Trollhunter." Angor Rot said. He charged Jim and the two ran off and I realized that he was leading Angor Rot towards the Hero's Forge.

        "Jim." I whispered. I helped Toby up and Toby was trying to hold back his tears as he looked towards Aaarrrgghh. I embraced him and he embraced me. I promised, "We will avenge Aaarrrgghh. I promise. Now, let's go help, Jim." Toby nodded. Toby, Draal, Blinky, Claire, and I made our towards the Hero's Forge and the entrance was blocked, but we could see what was happened.

        Angor Rot had knocked Jim to the side and said, "Do you ever wonder how you've lived this long?" We shouted for Jim to let us in as Angor Rot continued, "The only reason you're alive is because you've let your loved ones fall in your place! Your teacher, the changeling! You mother! Your sister!"

        "Jim!" I exclaimed.

        "And now your simple friend, Aaarrrgghh is dead!" Angor Rot said.

        "No!" Jim shouted. The two clashed swords and blue light flowed around them.

        "Claire, you're staff!" I exclaimed. Claire realized what I was wanting her to do and she had a portal appear Angor's head and we allowed Toby to have the honor of going through it. Then, Angor said taking out the Creeper's Sun dagger, "But, where are your loved ones now, Hunter?"

        "Up here, Rot Head!" Toby exclaimed. Jim pushed the dagger into Angor's heart and as Angor was turning to stone, Toby smashed Angor's statue with his hammer. Draal lifted the gate that was blocking the way to Troll market and we all ran towards Jim. Claire embraced him first, but I hugged him afterwards. Then, I hugged Toby. I was so thankful that the two were alright.

        Draal held my hand and I smiled at him as Claire said, "Is he really gone?"

        "He better be." Jim said.

        "Yeah. He better be." Toby growled and kicked. Suddenly, a blue light appeared and they whispered, "Finally. Our souls are free. We return to our brethren." A bright blue orb appeared.

        "What? Who are they?" Claire questioned.

        Then, Kanjigar appeared and proclaimed, "These are the spirits of our fallen brethren. Trollhunters who lost both soul and life to Angor Rot. Our brothers and sisters shall take their proper place in the void and rest in piece. Thanks to you, James Lake Junior, you sister, and your friends. You were right. You are stronger together. We are in your debt. But, the day will come, Trollhunter, when you must finish the fight alone."

        "Father?" Draal questioned reaching his hand out to him.

        "My son, I am so sorry for pushing you away. I am so proud of you." Kanjigar said.

        "Father. Father. Father!" Draal exclaimed as his father disappeared. I placed my hand on his shoulder letting him know that I was here for him. We were about to make our way back towards Aaarrrgghh when I noticed that Draal wasn't coming. As the others went towards there, I stayed behind and asked, "Are you coming, Draal?"

        "I will in a moment, Monica. I just need a moment." Draal said. I took Draal's hand in my own and placed a kiss on his cheek. Draal gave me a grateful smile and I said, "Come join us when you're ready. Remember that you're not alone and I'm here whenever you need me." Draal embraced me and I embraced him. Our foreheads pressed together and I knew that this was sign of affection in the troll custom. We stood there for a few moments taking in each other's scent, then we let go.

        "I will join you soon, my love." Draal said. I smiled knowing that he'll be alright, then went to go join the others.

        Claire, Toby, Jim, and I stood around Aaarrrgghh's statue. It was hard to believe that he was gone. He has been through so much with us. He will live on in our hearts forever. Toby shed tears and Claire and I placed our hands on his shoulders as Claire said, "Toby, hold onto that anger. Save it for the Darklands." Then, I heard footsteps walking away and I turned to see that Jim had gone.

        "Jim." I said. I decided to let him be. Thinking that he maybe needed a moment alone as well. Claire, Toby, and I went to grab Blinky and I noticed that Jim was going towards Killahead Bridge. The four of us headed over towards Killahead and Blinky shouted, "Master Jim!"

        "Dude, what are you doing?" Toby questioned and Jim closed the doorway.

        "Jim, don't!" Claire exclaimed. The gate closed as we reached it and Claire exclaimed, "Jim, no! You promised we'd go together!"

        "The amulet chose me. I can't lose anymore of you." Jim said.

        "Jim, you don't have to do this alone! Please!" I cried pounding on the door.

        "Maybe I can manually override the lock." Blinky suggested. He started doing just that and I heard some noise in there and figured that he had probably reformed the Bridge. No. No.

        "Come on, Jimbo! We're a team! Don't do this!" Toby exclaimed.

        "Jim, no! I promised that I would always be there for you when you needed me! Don't, Jim! Don't do this alone! I'm begging you! Please!" I sobbed.

        "I'm sorry. I have to finish the fight. Alone. But, the amulet chose me." Jim said. Blinky managed to get the door opened and we ran towards them. I dashed towards my baby brother with tears running down my face shouting, "Jim!"

        Jim looked towards us and said, "I'm sorry." He jumped through the portal as Claire shouted, "No, Jim!" The portal closed and I collapsed to the ground in shock. No. This can't be happening. This can't be happening.

        "No!" I cried feeling my heart shatter.

        "Jim!" Toby yelled.

        Then, Blinky said, "Master Jim, what have you done?"

        My baby brother was in the Darklands. Alone. I failed him when he needed me. Now, he's gone.
