"For centuries, the troll and human worlds stood separate and peace, divided by bridges that acted as doorways between our two realms." Blinky says explaining troll history. "But the Gumm-Gumms wanted to devour all mankind. They were led by Gunmar the Black. The rest of troll kind fought against him, culminating in the great battle of Killahead Bridge, the portal to Gunmar's Darklands. After many moons, good triumphed over evil, and our great Trollhunter, Deya the Deliverer, and sealed Killahead bridge with the sacred amulet. After, we stowed away on a ship called the Mayflower, just a handful of us and some gnomes we'd brought along for comp anionship and nourishment. Finally we arrived in New Jersey."

"New Jersey" Aarrrgghh repeats.

Blinky continues, "We kept walking. Eventually, we came across a new Heartstone, and we realized we had found a new home under Arcadia."

Blinky finishes the story and pulls the book down to look at Jim, Toby, and Aarrrgghh paying attention, but (y/n) had fallen asleep. Blinky groaned before walking over to (y/n) and slamming the book shut, startling her awake.

"Lo Siento, Dentro Draal! No me mates!" She yelled in Spanish.

"The training of troll history might seem like a minor duty, Master (y/n), but-" Blinky starts but (y/n) quickly interrupts.

"Sorry. I pulled an all-nighter studying for my Spanish Comprehension exam and my brain is muy gooey. I don't know. I guess I thought if I'm facing Draal in a week, my training would be a little more... active"

(y/n) stands with a stretch and a yawn, Aarrrgghh copying her movements.

"Yeah, like, when is she going to learn Troll-kwondo? Or Rock-itsu?" Toby asks.

"Before one fights, Toby D, one must understand why one fights. For these precious early steps will decide whether a young Trollhunter will become Deya the Deliverer..." Blinky says pointing to Deya's statue.

"Or Unkar the Unfortunate." Aarrrgghh says pointing to Unkar's statue.

(y/n), Jim, and Toby share a look before (y/n) steps up to Blinky.

"Well, tomorrow, my Spanish exam is with Señor Uhl 'the Unforgiving'. My main concern is for my immediate future." She explains.

"A-Ah! But, to learn what will happen in the future, one must only look to the past. I recommend A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore by the venerable Bedehilde. Volume  one of 47." Blinky says dropping a large book into (y/n)'s arms, making her drop down trying to support it.

"Okay, but is I don't pass the axe, I'm grounded and I can't be the Trollhunter. Sorry, Blinky, but the amulet chose me, and now I have two lives to keep up." (y/n) says backing away from the group.

Suddenly the sound of vast footsteps comes running into Hero's Forge. A female Troll came running in and ran to Blinky in a panic. 

"Oh, no. Is it the Heartstone?" Blinky asks worriedly.

"No! No!" Bagdwella says but Aarrrgghh cuts her off.

"Stalking?"

"Is Bular in Trollmarket?" (y/n) asks quickly fearing the worst.

"No! Gnome! Rogue Gnome!" Bagdwella cries out.

(In trollmarket)

The whole group walks into Bagdwella's store, looking for the gnome.

"First, I couldn't find my monocle, then my collection of bed coils. Now, something disappears every minute!" Bagdwella exclaims, about to sit down on a stool when suddenly it's sweep out from underneath her, sending her tumbling to the floor.
