It was a slow afternoon in Trollmarket. Everyone in the Trollhunter gang were at the Heroes Forge training. Claire's practicing the shadow staff and Toby getting the hang on using his war hammer. And as for Jim he's still getting used to his dodges. But, inside the teens are bored. They miss the action and excitement. But, while Strickler and Angor not causing anymore trouble anytime soon there's not much stuff to do. Just gnome hunting.
"Man I'm getting bored. All we're doing is training and doing lame jobs." Toby complained. Jim nodded with agreement."I know kinda miss the excitement too. If I get one more case of gnomes at Bagdwella's shop again I'm going make her shut her place down." He groaned. As the three were training Vaega step inside with some news. The young troll waved at them to get their attention. The three teens notices and stopped what they're doing. "What's up Vaega?" Toby smiled. The shopkeeper smiled back but, it turned to a worry and concern.
"Vendel wants you three to discuss something. By the sound of his voice it's sounds important. He's at the Heartstone." She told them.The three friends thanked her and immediately went to the heart of Trollmarket to see what Vendel wants. As soon as they went inside the Heart Stone they saw Vendel with worried and serious expression on his face.
Which was new to them. They never saw that expression before."You want to see us Vendel?" Jim asks the older troll. The leader nodded and walked towards him."Yes and it's about Sunstone." He answered."What about her? Is she okay?" The young hero looked at with concern in his eyes. Vendel waved his hand side to side."She's perfectly fine Trollhunter. It's about her safety I'm worried about." He told him. Just then Claire notices the wasn't in his arms."Speaking of Sunstone where is the little cutie?" She asks.
"She's with Bagdwella at the moment." He told her. Jim looked at Vendel with concern. "Are you sure its a good idea? She always has a bad case of gnomes." Vendel just rolled his eyes at him. "She'll be fine. I place an anti - gnome spell on the entrance." He ease him. Jim and his friends just looked at him with bewilderment. "You can do that this entire time? Why did you never use it in the first place?" Toby face palmed. "If I do that you three wouldn't have nothing to do." He told him. The teens couldn't help to nod with agreement. It would be boring doing nothing.
"So what about her safety?" Jim went back to the subject. The leader nodded. "Yes. And it's not just her safety too. I know her parents will be looking for her which means they will soon cause havoc. Both the human and the troll world. So I want you three to be on high alert at all times including Aaarrrgghh and Blinkous." He informs them. Jim then looked at him with curiousness.
"Hey Vendel quick question. How dangerous are Troll mothers? Because the council says their very protective of their young and I'm wondering how protective are they?" He asks. Vendel rubbed his beard and thought about it."Well Strickler being an changeling which means he never had a family before because he was stolen as an infant. And Sunstone being his first child and being the only family he ever known I say pretty dangerous." He answered.
"And what about Angor?" Jim wondered. Vender looked at Jim thought about it some more. Another good point. "Well being an magical assassin and his soul in the hand of a Changeling I bet he'll be far worse showing how much he cared for the girl." He informed. "Which means we have more of a challenge." Jim sighed."Any plans of how to protect Sunstone and Trollmarket?" Vendel nodded. "Yes first you three must put on that musk Vaega gave you when you went to the caves.If they can smell you without it they can surly smell their trolling on your clothes." He informs.
Jim and his friends groan."Awe man we have to put that nasty stuff on us again? It took us forever to take that smell off us." Toby complained. Vendel rolled his eyes at him. "Well to bad Pudge bag." He scoffed. Vendel then continued. "Then you three must watch Strickler at your school just to make sure his not up to something. And lastly and this is the final part. Which is the most important. You three must be in high alert. They can strike in any time and in any moment." The troll warned.
Jim then looked at Vendel with concern in he's eyes."Vendel? Will we ever going to tell Sunstone the truth?" Jim asks. Vendel looked at Jim with confusion."What ever do you mean?" He questioned."I mean are we going to tell her about her past? Where she came from? Who her parents are?" Vendel heart sank and realize that someday Sunstone will asks about where she came from. He then gave out an long sigh."Yes we are. But, it's going to be hard to telling an innocent little girl that her parents are monsters. An changeling and an troll killer."
