A familiar blue light appeared, it lifted me up into the air. The daylight armor appeared, and latched onto me. Bular and Toby watched in shock, as I landed back on the ground with the armor on. I envisioned the sword in my hand, and it appeared instantly.

"Two Trollhunters?" Bular asked himself.

While he was still distracted, I ran toward him. I stood behind him, and threw the sword. It cut through the air, and Bular's arm. He clutched his arm in pain, and looked at me.

"Who are you?" He asked.

I took this as an opportunity to scare him, as he scared me before.

"Your worst nightmare."

I charged at him with my sword back in my hand. I attempted to stab it into his stomach, but he blocked it. He threw me back, with a sudden forceful push. I adjusted myself, and landed on my feet. By the time I looked up from the ground, Bular was gone. I ran over to Toby who was still on the ground in shock.

"Dude, what was that? That was amazing!" He stopped. "Wait, so does this mean everything that dead guy told me was true?"

"I can't really deny it."

I took off the amulet, and gave it to Toby.

"For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command."

Toby shook the amulet, and tried again, more annoyed this time.

"For the GLORY of Merlin, Daylight is MINE to command." He said, irritated.

The amulet dinged, and let out a small burst of energy, making Toby drop it. I picked it up, and put it on easily, without the incantation.

"There's no way you're the real Jim."

"That's true in a way. Now, can you get me inside Trollmarket? I need to speak to Kanjigar myself."

He fumbled for his bag, and pulled out a horngazel.

"Here you go, buddy. I don't know what you want from that guy."

I walked over to the canal wall, and made a small semi-circle with the crystal. The pieces of stone magically collapsed in on themselves, creating a clear path for us to enter. We both walked down the crystal staircase in silence. Toby broke it.

"I heard you came back to this time because you did something you regret."

"Did he say that?"

"No, it just sounds like something you would do. Do you wanna tell me?"

"They call it regret for a reason."

He stopped talking, and continued walking in front of me. We finally reached the bottom, and Trollmarket was normal again. We continued on our way to the forge. Bagdwella was still dealing with a gnome infestation, and Draal...

I looked around for him, but he was nowhere in sight.

"What're you looking for?"

"Nothing."

After what seemed like hours, we finally reached the forge. Draal was waiting inside angrily for Toby. He looked at us and was stunned to see me with the amulet.

"I thought the pudgy one was the Trollhunter. Not a human runt I've never seen before."

"Well, he's exactly like I remember him." I pointed out.
