Wingmen Part I

        "Then, I took the Kill Stone from him and never looked back." Jim said explaining how he had gotten the Kill Stone. It was incredible story and it explained a lot of what happened. That day is going to hold some questions for Patrick, Elizabeth, and our mother though.

        "A valiant risk for the second Triumbric Stone. But, you say Angor Rot's ring was destroyed?" Blinky questioned. This part made me nervous. Since Jim destroyed, technically Angor Rot destroyed, but nonetheless, this could pose as a serious threat to our safety. But, we'll worry about that later.

        "Yeah. He wasn't very happy to lose his soul. Now that no one controls him, I guess he'll be on a war path..." Then, realization slapped Jim's face and he exclaimed, "And he might go after Monica! This is not good. Monica, is it possible that you can stay here in Troll market until Angor Rot is defeated?"

        "Jim, I'm not going this assassin disrupt my life. Besides, you are in as much danger as I am." I stated while crossing my arms.

        "I know, Mo, but it would make me feel better that you would stay here in Troll market." Jim said.

        "Look, Jim, I know that you want to protect me, but I can handle myself. I am not defenseless and Draal is there at the house in case I get in any serious danger if you are not around. Also, Angor Rot attacks at night, so I'll be safe during the day. I'll be fine, Jim." I said while placing my hand on his shoulder. I knew that Jim still didn't like this idea, but he knew better than anyone that I can be stubborn.

        "All the more reason to find the third and last stone before he shows up again." Claire said as she and Toby walked in.

        "Hey! Good to see you back to normal, Blinky. I was starting to miss you there." Toby said while playing with Blinky's four arms. I laughed and agreed with Toby. It was good to see Blinky back to his normal self again. To this, Blinky responded, "My only regret was that I never had a chance to drive one of your automobiles."

        "Say, what was that legend again?" I questioned.

        "Three forces elemental though must seek in the marshlands, caverns deep, and mountain's peak. If I can memorize four hundred lines of Shakespeare, I can remember that." Claire said as we all looked at her in surprise. That play feels so long ago.

        "Check and check on the marshlands and mountain. That just leaves us the caverns deep." Toby said.

        "Trouble is, Tobias, all Trolls live in caverns deep. To search them all would far outlast our life-spans." Blinky explained while putting the book Toby was holding away. Then, Blinky said, "Has anyone seen, Aaarrrgghh? If we plan on finding the final stone, we'll need all hands on deck." We went of the library of the library. Blinky went to look for Aaarrrgghh and the rest of us went to unlock the secrets of the Kill Stone.

        "I am so excited to see how you'll unlock this Stone, bro." I said lightly punching him on the shoulder. Jim laughed.

        "So, the last stone gave you those sweet thigh blades. What do you think this one will do?" Toby wondered.

        "I don't know. We'll have to cut it and, then, we'll-" Jim was interrupted by a horn blowing. The lights started to go out and the four of us started to back against one another. Claire wondered, "What was that?"

        "Not sure, but stay close." Jim said summoning his armor and I summoned the Thriskule.

        "Put that sword and bow away. Don't you know that our guests are sensitive to light?" Bagdwella questioned.

        "Guests?" I questioned. We turned our attention the trolls coming through. They were all very large and looked similar to our friend, Aaarrrgghh, and they were carrying a female who was obviously their leader.

        "Wow! They all look like Aaarrrgghh." Claire commented.

        "Queen Usurna of the Krubera. They reside in the deepest caverns under the Earth's mantle. Rarely, do they venture this close to the surface." Blinky explained. Jim wondered if they knew about the whereabouts of the stone and Blinky responded, "It's possible, if not convenient."

        "We need to get a moment to speak with her." I said.

        "Agreed, but be patient." Blinky said.

        "Your visit is an unexpected honor." Vendel said inviting these people to Troll market.

        "Vendel." Queen Usurna greeted. Jim commented on how they were just as talkative as Aaarrrgghh too. Then, we pointed out that Aaarrrgghh was a Gumm-Gumm, to which Blinky explained that he was, but was born a Krubera, then told us to hush. Their attention was direction to us and the Queen said, "Aarghaumont, my kinstroll." The Queen put her forehead against Aaarrrgghh's and the markings on their body glowed. Afterwards the Queen continued, "The centuries pass, yet you remain forever in our hearts."

        "My queen." Aaarrrgghh said bowing.

        "Allow me to introduce our Trollhunter. Slayer of Gunmar's son. And, I would like to introduce the Wielder of the Thriskule, the Trollhunter's sister." Blinky introduce.

        "Uh. James Lake Junior, Your Queen-ness." Jim said.

        "And Monica Lynn Lake, Your Majesty." I bowed.

        "The human Trollhunter and the Wielder of the Thriskule. I heard stories, but didn't believe. They say that you two have an inseparable bond." The queen said while observing us. I wasn't surprised that she heard about Jim, but I was surprised that she heard about me. Then, Toby came up and nudged us while saying, "Ask her about the stone."

        "Your highness... lady, I recently heard a story about the deep caverns, and a magical stone." Jim said.

        "A stone?" The queen questioned.

        "Your majesty," I said while bowing, I stood up and continued, "This stone is a part of a quest that we have been on for a while and we need your assistance. This stone is part of a trilogy that is called the Triumbric Stones. We merely question if you have it in your possession, your Highness." While it was not exactly how to speak to queen, I hoped that by my response that we did not offend her.

        "That is not how you speak to a queen." Vendel said placing his staff in front of us.

        "Their informality is amusing. No, Trollhunter and the Wielder. We do not have it. But, I am familiar with that which you seek. It was once in our possession, but stolen years ago." The queen explained.

        "But, if you don't have it, why did you come here-" Jim was interrupted by Vendel.

        "To celebrate... this rare and momentous visit. I propose a grand match of PyroBligst." Vendel announced.

        "Then, it is wise that I brought with me my two heartiest trolls." The queen said presenting two of her trolls who looked very formidable.

        "Aaarrrgghh will represent us to be paired with our Trollhunter." Vendel announced. I am glad that I was not Jim in that moment. I did not want to fight against those trolls. Toby cheered for him and Jim asked, "Wait, PyroBligst? What is that? A game?"

        "Oh. It is a tradition as old as it is dismembering." Blinky said and I blinked in surprise. Yep. Definitely glad that I am not Jim in this moment of time. As the queen left, she proclaimed,

        "I shall look forward to the game, later this evening."
