Trollhunters: Becoming

The Bonds of Which We Share

"Now, give me the means to kill the Trollhunter and his allies!" Otto exclaimed. "Like we agreed."

Morgana chuckled.

"Oh, my creation, you are foolish to think I'd give you such power," Morgana replied, looking at the changeling.

"But. You agreed! You lied!"

"I created you," Morgana scoffed. "You owed it to me to free me."

"How dare you---" Otto began, walking towards the Eldritch Queen. Suddenly, Otto was held still by her magic.

"How dare you speak to me that way!" Morgana yelled. "Don't worry, my creation, I'll think of you when I end the Trollhunter myself."

Otto exploded in a firework of purple, and he was now no more.

Morgana paid the mess no mind and made her way out of her prison of nearly a thousand years.

The Ninth Configuration all made their way out of the portal. All breathed a sigh of relief when they stepped into Trollmarket.

"Douxie!" Archie exclaimed, running to his familiar and jumping on his shoulder.

"There you all are," Nomura stated.

"We killed the big scary troll!" Krel exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air. "And didn't die!"

"I'm afraid you may want to hold out on your celebration," Merlin grimaced.

"Merlin? What are you doing here?" Jim asked. "What happened?"

"Well, it appears that Otto has been in contact with Morgana," Merlin began.

"What!" Claire exclaimed. "How?"

"Beats me," Merlin stated. "But Otto managed to get the best of me and take my staff."

"Great gronka morka! Please, don't say what I think you're about to say," Blinky begged.

"Trollmarket is in lockdown, but by the way that the market shook, I fear Otto got here before we took action," Nomura cut in.

"Oh, come on, man!" Toby groaned.

"How bad is Morgana?" Aja asked.

"Will a fare punching do?" Vex asked.

"Morgana, very strong," Aaarrrgghh responded.

"A lot stronger than Gunmar," Douxie added. "Jim, what do we do?"

Jim looked at the amulet resting on his chest.

"The best way to solve this is to give her memories back," Jim stated.

"Are you sure, Jimbo?"

"We saw her when before she died. She was helping us," Claire pointed out.

"Morgana helps you in the future?" Merlin asked, surprised. "Well, I suppose anyone can change."

"I say that this is the best option," Blinky concluded.

"Toby, close the portal to the Darklands," Jim ordered. "Blinky, you need to stay behind. You're too injured to fight."

"I understand. Just be safe, my son," Blinky nodded. Jim and Blinky pressed their foreheads together before Jim pulled away and ensured the rest of the configuration was ready.

"Stay behind, Merlin. You have no way to defend yourself," Douxie said. Merlin nodded.

"As long as you don't get yourself killed, I shall stay right here."
