A Trollhunter turned King

Sweet Sixteen, Again. (part 2)

looking through Blinky's collection of random artifacts and magical items was a lot harder than Toby originally thought. the four armed troll had a whole other room in his library, sacked full of any and, almost every, magical item one could think a troll could get his hands on. it was impressive at first, but now having to go through it all and find something in the mess, it was a little overwhelming. 

"how are we supposed to find anything in here?" Toby moaned, giving up on the pile he was digging through. "what do they look like again?" a genuine question because Toby had already forgotten . . . again.

"trust me, Master Tobias, you will know." Blinky said with a smile. "among all my treasurers, Dwärkstones are the most. . . dull looking." Blinky stuttered, trying to find the right word. 

"look like normal round rock." ARRRGGH! provided with a shrug of his shoulders. Tobys mouth dropped.

"it's just a normal rock?!?" the stout teen screeched. the gentle giant gave a sorry smile as the teens face fell again. Toby went back to looking, flinging a book away from a new pile. with wide eyes, Toby picked up a rock. 

surprised he found it right as he was complaining, but his emotions changed to overjoyed as they could stop looking now. Toby held up the stone with a victorious laugh, gaining the attention of both trolls. their smiles turned to surprised expressions, but not at Toby, at something behind Toby.

"hey, you found it." Jim said coming out of their portal, scaring Toby half to death. the short teen jumped and accidentally threw the rock in the air, causing it to activate. Claire and Jim acted on it first, knowing it would explode within the next five to ten seconds. 

Jim's armor was on in a second, even without saying the incantation. using Excalibur as a baseball bat, Jim hit the explosive with the flat side of his blade and sent it straight into the portal as it closed. Jim cringed, thinking that was going to blow up the book store.

"think the shop will be ok?" the once trollhunter asked his brother with a shy smile. Douxie looked at him and gave him the same smile.

"don't worry, I've warded the whole place." the wizard tried to reassure. "but that will still be a mess to clean up." he added while cringing.

"well it's a good thing i didn't send it to the shop." Claire said with a smirk and a spin of her new staff. Jim laughed a sigh of relief with Douxie and he deactivated his armor.

"where'd you guys come from?!?!?!" Toby shouted, making them all jump. they all laughed while Toby was still trying to catch his breath.

"i can make portals with my powers, Toby." Claire explained, trying not to breakdown crying again. Toby was alive and perfectly fine, it made he want to run up and hug him. but she held back, knowing he may have seen his death, but he didn't remember it personally, like she did.

"no way! you got your powers back? That's awesome-sauce!!" Toby said, his whole demeanor  changed in a second. 

"yes, it is wonderful you have acquired your powers again, fair Claire." Blinky said, walking up to the group of teens with ARRRGGH! "it seems they will be needed as Master Tobias wasted our only Dwärkstone, even if by accident." the troll said as he put a hand on Toby's shoulder. three of the four who came out of the portal gave Blinky a deadpan look that said 'seriously'. 

"find them." Jim said as he turned to Claire with a smirk, which she copied. Claire concentrated on finding the items and conjured a portal. a bag fell out of the black and purple darkness, landing right in between all of them. Jim opened the bag and pulled out one of the rocks and held it up to Blinky with a smirk.

"ratz" the six eyed troll said in defeat as he crossed both pairs of arms and looked away. everyone started laughing at him, Jim put the stone back carefully and tied the bag shut while still laughing at his father. "Forgive a troll trying to protect his image." Blinky said with a huff.
