Next morning, Claire opens her eyes to the soft, gentle glow of the amulet that has somehow gotten on to her pillow. Jumping up in shock at the events of last night as they come to the forefront of her mind claire climes out of bed and starts her usual morning routine trying to suppress what happened to the back of her mind as she gets into a clean pair of clothes. Hoping down the stairs, Claire made her way into the kitchen to make some breakfast.

Having settled on a slice of toast Claire notices that no one else was in the house, not even her baby brother Enrique. Finishing off her toast, Claire grabs her bag, keys and then goes to retrieve her bike from the garage intent on going to show her friend Darcy the magic of the amulet and ask for some advice. Making her way to Dary's house Claire began to wonder what she saw the other day in one of her classmate's bag it looked similar to her amulet except for the red glow but from a glance she couldn't tell exactly what it was and wasn't about to jump to conclusions which could lead to problems in the future. Arriving at Darcy's house, Claire knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.

"Claire what are you doing here?" asked detective Scott Darcy's father a tall, intimidating man who was one of Arcadia oaks finest.

"I'm just here to see Darcy if that's okay with you Mr. Scott."

"no that's fine come on in shes in her room, as usual, you know where it is."

"thank you Mr. Scott" Claire replied stepping into the house and shrugging off her shoes.

Ascending the staircase, Claire grabbed the amulet from her bag and mentally prepared herself opening the door to Darcy's room Claire took a deep breath.

"Darcy?"

"Woah what Claire when did you get here? wait what are you doing here?" Darcy squeaked out in a fast pace ramble.

"I just got here, but I came because I need to tell you something and ask for your advice."

"okay go for it Claire what do you need my help with oh wait is it a boy?" exclaimed Darcy in excitement.

"no no, not a boy something more important is probably best if I just show you but promise not to scream."

"Okay, Claire you're scaring me."

"just trust me, for the glory of merlin daylight is mine to command," said Claire thrusting the amulet out in front of her only to be enveloped by blinding blue light and covered in shining silver armor that formed from thin air and perfectly latched on to her body creating a second skin.

"wow that's that's awesome."

"yea it is but that's not what I need your advice with this is so that you believe me and don't send me to the nut house."

"Okay I'm all ears" replied Darcy wonders still tingeing her voice.

Claire began the long explanation about the trolls and what the amulet means and how big of a responsibility it was and all her fears and doubts.

"Wow that's heavy but Claire how many teenagers can say they were given such a big opportunity to help the whole world out this is a gift cherish it."

"But I'm just me I can't possibly fight enormous trolls and protect the world I have no combat experience," replied Claire looking up at Darcy with a defeated look.

"No you haven't but the amulet chose you for a reason not many people have their destiny laid out before them people struggle to find there place in the world yours has just been handed to you on a platter with cool new abilities and the chance to understand most people can't even dream of, you girl are stupid for even hesitating on this opportunity,"

"Thanks, Darc I needed that now I best wait for those trolls to come back see what's next."

"No problem now get out of here is having a nap that was too much to process."

Exiting the room Claire made her way back downstairs ready to leave "thanks Mr. Scott" yelled Claire slipping on her shoes and stepping out the house breathing in the fresh air Claire grabbed her bike and made her way back home.

Turning off his alarm Jim got out of bed and made his way downstairs to start breakfast for him and his mum, firing up the hob Jim began to make his mums favorite omelets.

"Hey, kiddo." came the groggy reply from Jims mum

"Hey, mum made your favorite," Jim said while handing his mum a plate with a freshly cooked omelet on it.

"Thanks, Jim but I can take care of myself you know."

"no problem mum and I know you can but your busy most of the time and I like to help you out."

"speaking of always being busy I'm pulling a weekend shift."

"mum again you've got to stop you'll drive yourself mad." groaned Jim looking at his mum with a pained expression.

"I know kiddo, but it can't be helped anyway you got anything planned for today?"

"Going to meet Toby that's it."

"Alright I'm going be good thanks for breakfast," replied Jim's mum before exiting the kitchen and making her way to her car.

Jim having finished breakfast washed up the few pots that had collected in the sink and then made his way up the stairs to get changed into something clean before meeting with toby to show him the amulet and it crazy abilities. Gathering his things into his bag and checking he had the amulet on him Jim made his way over to his Vespa that he got for his 16th, but now all that was on his mind was getting an actual motorcycle. Clambering on to the Vespa Jim turned the key and started it up with a gentle purr, Pulling off the drive Jim started his trip to the orthodontist to meet Toby who was having his braces tightened.

Arriving Jimm clambered of his scooter removing his helmet and killing the ignition before making his way inside. Sitting in the waiting room, Jim began to ponder on the amulet confused to how it was possible and what it meant. Twenty-five minutes later Jim was pulled from his thoughts by the appearance of his best friend.

"Hey, Jimbo you seemed to be in deep thought just then."

"Oh hey toby yea I was, got something to show you later but you can't freak out."

"Jimbo you know me cool as a cucumber nothing freaks me out." toby replies with mock indignation.

"yea, of course, toby nothing at all anyway let's get going you want to go back to mine or yours."

"mine Jim because after you've shown me whatever it is you what to show me, we can play gogo sushi and get cookies from my grammar."

"fair enough you bring your helmet," asked Jim giving Toby a knowing look.

"hey it was one time, and yes I've bought it now let's go."

Exiting the orthodontist Jim and toby clambered on to the Vespa and started making there way back home weaving in and out of the busy high street. A couple of minutes later they pulled up in front of Toby's house.

"well where here" exclaimed Jim with mock excitement.

Toby and Jim made their way inside hanging up there bags and helmets. "Nana I'm home Jims with me" shouted Toby into the silent house.

"Oh, Toby dear your back would you and your friend like some cookies?"

"Yes please, nana we will be upstairs."

Making their way upstairs and entering toby's somewhat messy room with games strewn everywhere Toby hopped on to his bed "alright Jim what do you want to show me?"

"okay remember no freaking screaming or nothing."

"got it."

"Alright alright, for the battles to come Eclipse is mine to command!"

And with a violent burst of red light that rolled across the room like waves of fire black metallic armour formed out of thin air and attached itself to Jim segments sliding into place with harsh clanging sounds until finally, Jim lands on his feet covered in armor that pulsed with deep red in time with his heartbeat. Looking over at Toby Jim noticed his friend's mouth hanging open with a bit of drool hanging from his lips.

"man that's disgusting toby."

"Hey man, you said I couldn't scream or freak out, so I settled for this," Toby replied while wiping away the drool that had ended up on his chin.

"Technically I said you couldn't do anything and that counts as something."

"no fair man that thing awesome what do you think it's for I mean wow."

"no idea all I know is it doesn't like to come off once summoned," Jim said while groaning in frustration as yet again it wouldn't come off.

"maybe its something to do with what you have to say to summon it you know battles to come."

"errr toby doesn't know if you've noticed but im 17 I ain't going to be rushing off into battle anytime soon or ever."

"just thinking man anyway let's play gogo sushi.

"fine" Jim says climbing down on the floor and grabbing a remote while toby inserts the disk and powers up the tv. the screen flickers to life with a giant cat saying gogo sushi, pressing play Toby and Jim begins to waste the day dodging falling debris and serving sushi.
