her thoughts on the mysterious amulet she had found moments ago just below the bridge before school where interrupted at the sound of a familiar voice Mr strickler her history teacher.
"the Peloponnesian war was actually 3 wars fought between Athens and Sparta." Mr. Strickler said whilst prodding the map projected on the board with his pen. "the first war was known as the archimedean war. type that into your search engines..."
the class began to start searching for information on the archimedean war for the final minutes of the class.
"Alright class I want a write up on the archimedean war by next week have a nice weekend" shouted Mr. Strickler before turning to face the boy in front of him and starting a quiet conversation.
grabbing her bag Claire got out of her seat and started to follow the rest of her classmates out of the room until something catches her eye, turning ever so slightly to get a look Claire spots an amulet similar in design to hers but darker and pulsing with a red light rather than blue inside one of her classmates bag, confused and intrigued claire quickly goes to meet up with her friends.
making her way through school and making idle chatter with her friend's Claire was deep in thought wondering what these mysterious amulets were and their purpose.
"so what you doing tonight Claire ?" asked Darcy one of Claires best friends
"not much I've still got to try and figure what this thing is" Claire replied whilst showing Darcy the amulet.
"well it's pretty cool but its probably nothing just fancy jewelry."
"yea maybe anyway my dads picking me up so see you guys later."
making her way out of the school Claire waited for the familiar red car of her parents to arrive, a short wait later and her parent's car pulled up in front of her engine purring idly.
"Hey, dad."
"Hey, Claire good day at school."
"yea not bad" Claire replied climbing into the passenger seat and buckling in.
a couple of minutes later pulling up in front Nunez a state Claire clambered out of the car and made her way up the drive, her father following behind, entering the house Claire removed her shoes and started making her way up to her room. grabbing the amulet from her bag Claire begins to examine it suddenly the amulet begins to pulse with a vibrant blue light and the writing around the amulet starts to change until it stops and finally says "for the glory of merlin daylight is mine to command" and with a brilliant burst of energy that counters gravity blinding silver armour began to form in mid-air attaching itself to Claire and resizing and forming perfectly to her body.
meanwhile, across town at the lake's house, a similar experience is going on. Jim had made dinner for himself and finally had time to sit and look at the amulet that shot out of nowhere and hit him in the face on the way to school that morning it was made from a sort of shiny black metal with a deep red glow. noticing that the amulet starts to glow brighter and brighter Jim looked down to see the inscriptions around the amulet changing and finally bearing the words "for the battles to come eclipse is mine to command" and with a burst of raw energy dark metallic armour surrounded by raging crimson fire began shift and transform latching on to Jim's body and shaping to a perfect fit illuminating the darkened room with a gentle red glow that pulsed with every heartbeat. jumping back in shock Jim began pacing before finally settling on calling toby.
"hey tobes you there" whispered Jim into his walky-talky only to receive no response
"damn it how the hell do I get this thing off" huffed Jim in frustration trying to pry the armour of himself only for it not to budge when came a knock on his bedroom door.
"Okay, mum."
sighing in relief Jim sat up as soon as his mum left one thought on his mind what now but with a flash of red light the armour disappeared.
"Oh, now you come off." Jim yelled out in frustration."
placing the amulet down on his desk Jim got ready for bed mind ablaze with questions and theories.
back at the Nunez house Claire was equally as panicked by the sudden appearance of magic armour but nothing compared to what just burst into her room a large stone looking creature with six eyes and small horns on top if its head followed by a much larger creature that had a covering of green fur and fists that could turn her into nothing.
"good evening lady Claire I'm Blinky and this is Arrrgh we are trolls from troll market."
"tro trolls." stuttered out Claire before suddenly fainting on the spot.
waking up a short while later Claire looked around hoping it was just a dream until her eyes landed back on the two trolls that moments ago just barged straight into her room but one thing she did notice was that the weird armour had vanished.
"ah, you're awake" exclaimed blinky with pure delight
"what's going on who are you and why are you here"
"we are here because of that amulet you have been chosen to hold a great mantle and legacy as the troll hunter and the first human one at that."
"troll hunter, what's that?"
"the troll hunter is a champion chosen by merlins amulet to protect both human and troll kind from bad trolls who wish harm on both," Blinky replied still enthusiastic as ever
"wait what im 17 im not meant to be saving the world I have school and exams to worry about I don't want this take it back" replied Claire panic and fear rolling off her in waves
"im afraid my dear Claire i can not once the amulet has chosen the only way for it to choose another wielder is for its current wielder to be killed or die"
"what that's insane." Claire shrieked in obvious panic from these revelations
"whats insane dear?" came her dad's voice from downstairs obviously hearing her shout.
"errrrm nothing dad just the amount of homework I have that's all."
"look Claire just think about it I know its a heavy burden but the world may depend on you one day and this won't go away and people will do anything for merlins amulet so wouldn't it be wise to learn if not just to protect yourself" asked Blinky his energy and happiness gone from his voice.
"Okay, okay I'll think about it but now just go I need space."
"very well miss Claire we will be gone come along Arrrgh" Blinky replied whilst making his way out of Claire's bedroom window.
A few bumps and bangs later the house was silent once more leaving Claire alone to her thought mind in turmoil with what to do next. Slipping into bed Claire began to drift to sleep with one thought on her mind please be all a dream.
note the eclipse armour and sword are there own amulet in this for a very different purpose to the one in the show also Jim and Claire and friends are all a bit older than they are in the show (17) troll hunter Jim and Claire.
