Merlin and Claire were walking, when they saw Trolberg. The two of them made their way to the city and to one of the gates the Safety Patrol officers gave Merlin an odd look due to his armored garb, but let him and Claire into the city.
"Ok we're in now what? This place is pretty big, how are we going to find Jim?" Asked Claire.
"I have just the tool for the job." Said Merlin as he pulled out a compass.
"A compass?" Asked Claire.
"A enchanted one. It'll point us to where Jim is and it'll glow when we get close to him." Said Merlin.
"Alright then. Lead the way." Said Claire.
The needle on the compass pointed right, so Merlin and Claire headed that way.
At the examining room in the library, Hilda, Jim, Johanna, Baba, Frida, David, Kaisa, and the two examiners were joined by The Committee of Three, who had heard about the visitors and their magical inflictions. The Committee of Three didn't have too much going on and were curious about their guests. After the Committee were introduced they asked to hear Hilda and Jim's stories. Hilda told The Committee her story and then about her talk with Amma, which really got their attention.
"So the mother of trolls is buried and sleeping beneath Trolberg. That would explain the magical and fertile qualities of the land." Said Abigail.
"That explains a lot." Said the Committee Member with the puffy hair.
"So you can see we need to convince the Safety Patrol to let the trolls into the city, so they can reconnect with Amma and there can be peace between the humans and the trolls." Said Hilda.
"Do you have any pull with the Safety Patrol?" Asked Frida.
"We have some connections and pull within the Safety Patrol. It might take some time, but I think we can convince them to let the trolls into the city." Said the the Committee Member with the short orange and white hair.
"That's good to hear." Said Hilda.
"So what is your story?" Asked Abigail looking at Jim.
Jim told them his story about being the Trollhunter, how he became a troll, and how he traveled from his universe to Hilda's universe. The Committee of Three were very interested in how Jim became a troll and the fact he was from a different universe.
"That's a very interesting story and I think we might be able to change you back into a human." Said The Committee Member with the puffy hair.
"Really?" Asked Jim with hope.
The witches nodded their heads.
"What about Hilda?" Asked Johanna.
"That could be a bit more tricky. You see Jim's transformation was caused by the work of a human wizard, while Hilda's transformation was caused by a troll. We have a better understanding of human magic even if it's from another universe. Troll magic is a bit more complicated and we don't quite a full understanding of it, but I promise you we will do everything in our power to help your daughter." Said Abigail.
"Thank you." Said Johanna.
Before anything else could be said their was a loud commotion from outside that sounded like walls being smashed down. A witch raced into the room with a frantic look on her face.
"Committee! Triffid, Eldrid, and some of the other monsters are going berserk and making their way to the lower levels!" Cried the witch.
Jim pulled out his sword and raced out of the room followed by the others. It was complete chaos outside. Eldrid, a sphinx, and gargoyle were running about smashing holes in the walls and floors allowing Triffid to spread it's vines all about. Jim raced down to subdue the rampaging monsters and Hilda grabbed a sword from a suit of armor and chased after him.
"Hilda!" Cried Johanna to her daughter.
"I can help! I got troll strength!" Called Hilda.
Everyone just watched as the two trolls charged into battle.
