Jim's POV.

I was training with Blinky, Aaarrrgghh and Toby. All the trolls were getting ready for a festival or something.

"So what's the festival about anyways?" I asked Blinky while ducking from a blade.

"Legend." Aaarrrgghh said.

"A legend? Really? What's it about?" Toby asked after looking up from his phone.

"Master Jim. The festival of the Elf isn't true. The festival only celebrates the forge of the heartstone." Blinky said boredly.

"Wow. So why is it called the festival of the Elf if it isn't real?" I asked.

"The legend says that a Elf had lived amongst humans and Trolls alike, then when we went underground. The Elf forged himself with the heartstone. He protects us." Aaarrrgghh explained.

"Are you sure it's not true?" Toby asked.

"Elves have been extinct for millennia! They do not exist anymore! Back to training Master Jim!" Blinky said dramatic.

"Alrig-" I was cut off by an alarm.

"The Heartstone!" Blinky said, he looked at Aaarrrgghh and they both ran off towards the stone.

"W-wait! What's happening!" Toby said, trying to running after them with me.

"The Heartstone! Something is happening with it!" Screamed another Troll who joined us in running.

"What's happening now?!" Toby panicked while an outline of a figure showed up on the side of the stone.

"Elf is... Detaching?" Aaarrrgghh asked.

"The elf has awoken? Why is he detaching now?!" Vendel yelled. The figure became more close to the edge of the stone- and I'll tell you this. It wasn't a guy.

"My father is still forged. He has sent me to meet this 'human trollhunter' in his place." Said a girl. She fully emerged from the stone and she looked fairly human except for the ears and her inhuman beauty.

"Ah. I see. You are the child of the Elf who is forged with the stone?" Vendel questioned.

"Yes. His name is Efures. Mine is a more 'modern' one I guess. And you are the troll leader, Vendel, no?" She asked politely.

"Yes he is. Your name is?" A troll asked her.

"Leac. It's Irish for 'Hearthstone'." She said looking at me. "You are the trollhunter? Jim Lake?"

"Y-yeah. That's me." I nervously scratched the back of my neck. She was looking at me curiously, but with another strange look as well.

"Leac? So after you meet Jim, what will you do afterwards?" Asked Toby.

"I am to meet Jim Lake and see if he is worthy of my fathers gift. My father has asked me to watch after him to make certain the gift will be in good hands." She explained. "He has also tasked me with protecting Jim Lake."

"So what? Your gonna go to our school?" Toby questioned.

"If necessary. If I may ask, your school is for teaching?" She asked. We nodded. "How many days do you have of school? I may be able to go with you to your school to protect you."

"Five days a week mostly every week. But how would we get you into his school- with all the same classes as Master Jim?" Blinky asked skeptically.

"I might be able to find a way. It is possible for me to... Find a changeling friend of mine." She said seriously.

"A changling?! No. No. No." I said, I wasn't gonna trust a changling.

"She is friendly- and a rare kind of changeling. She doesn't need a person to imitate. She is like a 'shapeshifter'." She explained.
