Blinky begins to tell the story about the history of trollkind and how they came to Arcadia.

Blinky: for centuries, the troll and human worlds stood separate and at peace, divided by bridges that acted as doorways between our two realms. But the Gumm-Gumms wanted to devour all of mankind. They were led by Gunamr "the Black." The rest of trollkind fought against him, culminating in the great Battle of Kill ahead Bridge, the portal to Gunmar's Darklands. After many moons, good triumphed over evil, and our great Trollhunter, Details "the Deliverer," locked Gunmar away, exiling him to the Darklands, and sealed the killahead Bridge with the sacred amulet. After, we tore it apart, stone by stone. We left the old world in search for peace. We stowed away on a ship called the Mayflower, just a handful of us and some gnomes we'd brought along for companionship and nourishment. Finally, we arrived in a strange and exotic realm.

AAARRRGGHH!!!: New Jersey.

Blinky: we kept walking. Eventually, we came across a new Heartstone, and we realized we had found a new home... Under Arcadia.

Years ago, the human and trolls worlds lived separated in peace, until their worlds came together and vicious trolls called Gumm-Gumms wanted to devour all of mankind and take their world as their own. Led by their leader, Gunmar the Black, the Gumm-Gumms went on a warpath for dominance of the surface world. Other trolls fought against him in the great Battle of Killahead Bridge (the portal to Gunmar's Darklands, led by Trollhunter Deya the Deliverer, who banished Gunmar and his army into the Darklands and sealed the bridge with the Amulet of Daylight. After which, the trolls torn the Killahead Bridge into pieces and hidden them across the globe. Then after, the trolls stowed themselves away on a ship called the Mayflower (along with gnomes for companionship and nourishment). They finally found themselves in the New World. They kept walking until they finally found a Heartstone underneath what would later be called Arcadia Oaks and settled for a new home called Heartstone Trollmarket.

In the forge, when Blinky finishes his story, meanwhile Frances and AAARRRGGHH!!! were listening, Blinky finds me sleeping against AAARRRGGHH!!! through the entire lecture (to his annoyance).

Bella: ¡Lo siento, Señor Draal! ¡No me mates!

Blinky: The training of troll history might seem like a minor duty, Master Jim, but-

Bella: 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.

After startling me awake, the exhausted Trollhunter explains that I been up most of the night studying for my Spanish presentation and thought that my training would be more "active" than I expected if I was going to face Draal in a week for a rematch. I yawned as I got up.

Frances: yeah, like, when is she going to learn Troll-kwondo? Or Rock-itsu?

Blinky: before one fights, Frances, one must understand why one fights. For these precious early steps will decide whether a young Trollhunter will become a Deya "the deliverer"...

AAARRRGGHH!!!: Or Under " the Unfortunate."

Bella: well, tomorrow, my Spanish exam is with Señor Uhl "the Unforgiving." My main concern is for my immediate future.

Blinky: a-ha! But, to learn what will happen in the future, one must only look to the past. I recommend A Brief Recapitulation of Troll by the venerable Bedehilde. Volume one of 47.

Bella: okay, but if I don't pass the exam, 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.
