I watch from the sidelines as Draal attempts to train Claire and her new Shadowstaff.
Claire continues to spin the Shadowstaff around in her hands, grunting as she attempts to open a portal.
“Ugh! Why won’t the Shadowstaff make a portal?!” Claire shouts, looking up at Draal as he approaches her.
“Slow down, young one.” Draal says as he gently grabs the staff, stopping Claire from spinning it. “You must learn to empower the staff itself.” He explains, letting go of the staff. “Focus, imbue it with your will. The stronger the emotions, the greater…”
I stop listening as Toby suddenly cries out next to me.
I glance down at the pudgy boy, watching as he punches Aaarrrgghh’s hand.
“I don’t get it! Claire just joined the team, and she gets to handle the super-sweet megamatic portal staff?” Toby complaints, continuing to hit Aaarrrgghh’s hand.
I give Aaarrrgghh a confused look as he winces back, almost as though Toby’s hits were hurting him.
There’s no way Toby’s punches could be hurting him. After all, he’s, well, Toby.
I snicker slightly as Toby misses a punch and falls onto his stomach.
“Pfft. I’ve been by Jim and Astrid’s side since day one, and what do I get?” Toby continues, looking up at us irritably.
I glance over at Draal and Claire, watching as Claire continues to spin her staff around.
“Careful now.” Draal advices.
The blue troll glances over at me and smiles.
I couldn't help but smile back and wave at him before turning back to Toby.
“Hmm… Got me, Wingman.” Aaarrrgghh says, placing his hand on his chest as Toby stands back up again.
“Aw, buddy!” Toby smiles at him.
I look over at Claire and Draal again as I hear Claire grunting loudly.
Claire continues to spin her staff, clearly getting upset it wasn’t doing what she wanted it to.
“The Shadowstaff is a weapon of great… Whoa!” Draal ducks as Claire almost hits him with the staff. “Power.” He finishes with a sigh, watching Claire with worry in his eyes.
Toby begins to spin a broom around in his hands, trying to mimic Claire’s movements.
I cover my mouth and giggle as he accidentally hits Aaarrrgghh in the face with the broom.
Toby chuckles nervously as he moves the broom from Aaarrrgghh.
The large troll then helps Toby by using his hand to deflect Toby’s attacks, like they were training.
I look over at Draal, giggling softly as I shrug.
“Ugh! Why won’t this thing work?!” Claire shouts as her staff begins to turn black.
My eyes widen as a small black portal shoots from the tip of the staff.
“She did it.” Aaarrrgghh smiles.
“No way! How did she do that?” Toby asks in disbelief.
“Whoa. I made a portal!” Claire says excitedly, running up to the portal as it disappears. “Did you see that? I made a portal!” She asks excitedly, looking at Draal, who flinches away as Claire aims the tip of the staff at him.
