Fay followed Vendel through the halls of the Hero's forge. It came to a point where they had stopped at some armor.

" You have one letter you haven't yet delivered." Vendel spoke to her

" I was caught up in Jim's birthing day surprise." Fay told him

" So you weren't interested in the words 'delusional stone'?" Vendel looked towards her

Fay pulled out the letter from the satchel and looked towards Vendel. She was confused to tell the truth so she stayed quiet.

" It's okay to say yes, I'm truly interested in finding whoever wants a delusional stone." Vendel patted her back

" Yea, I admit it, when I first stamped this letter. But it looks like and address to one of the human homes." Fay says and looks at the mailing address

" That is surely odd to know that you have been up there, and to think that we have someone wanting to be a changeling." Vendel spoke stroking his beard in thought

" Perhaps they just want to look for some better trade items to trade in Trollmarket?" Fay suggested

" Yes, that is the obvious answer, but the merchants already do that when the moon is up." Vendel said as he started to walk down the hallway

Fay followed at his side, not wanting to lose this conversation. She had placed the letter back in the satchel so unwanted eyes wouldn't catch the address.

" Keep the letter with you for now. Until we can find more information on who Bagdwella was sending it to." Vendel said as he parted his way to a library

Fay parted her way as well, back towards Bagdwella's shop. As soon as she entered, the lady troll picked her up into a big hug?

" Oh my little Fay is growing up! Will you be a sweet child and send these out too?" Bagdwella asks setting Fay down and giving her another stack of letters.

Fay simply nodded and placed the letters in the satchel.

" Oh deer*, you're growing up so fast." Bagdwella wiped her eyes and walked over to Fay with a cloak.

" There are some letters that need to go up. Take this and don't get turned to stone." Bagdwella explained as she took off the satchel and placed a cloak over her.

Fay simply hugged her and took the satchel. She didn't believe Bagdwella was a changeling, she's too open.

Fay released her and placed the satchel over her and let the shop. She could see Vendel close by. As soon as Fay made it past the shops entrance, Bagdwella had called her name.

" FAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!" Came her screaming voice

Yep, definitely not a changeling.

Fay winced and turned around to find madame Bagdwella with a horngazel. She held it out to Fay with a smile.

" You'll need this to get back into Trollmarket and deliver some more letters for me." Bagdwella smiled widely

Fay smiled and took the Horgazel. She placed it in the satchel. Soon Vendel was only five feet away from her. Fay bowed and pranced towards Vandel and took him by the arm.

She made him prance with her and led him away from the troll lady's shop. Fay stopped when Vendel pulled back his arm.

" She's not a changeling." Fay whispered to him.

Vendel looked surprised and was about to say something until Blinky and Aaarrrggh called upon him.

" Ah Vendel! Just the troll we've been looking for." Blinky called out wit Aaarrrgghh behind him, holding a bag

" Don't stop looking on my account." Vendel kept walking with Fay

" But it is imperative that you look upon this." Vendel and Fay stop to see NotEnrique being pulled out of the bag that Aaarrrgghh was holding

" Easy on the scruff!" He complained and flipped onto Aaarrrgghh's hand, " And what are you staring at, grandpa? Have you ever never seen a changeling before? So this is Trollmarket." Aaarrrgghh grabs NotEnrique off his shoulder

" A changeling?" Vendel questions

" You called me crazy, but who's the mad troll now, huh?" Blinky confronts Vendel, " Behold! I have proof!"

" Put that thing away!" Vendel tries to cover NotEnrique's form with his hand, " What are you trying to do? Incite a panic?" Vendel pulls Aaarrrgghh over to the side with his little legs moving sideways

" Ey, I only came here' cause you promised me socks to eat!" Fay watched as the diaper troll threw a fit

She looked down at satchel and then back towards the group. Fay decided that she was going to bounce since the letters weren't going to deliver themselves.

Fay was about to tell them goodbye until Master Jim came screaming and landed face first into the ground. Fay helped him up as Vendel now had his attention on the trollhunter.

" Blinky! Blinky, you have to save me! A huge troll bird, like a jetliner with claws, just tried to kill me!" Jim tried to explain to Blinky as he silenced Jim with his hands

" How could I not be put at ease by such gallant bravery." Vendel commented

" Stalkling." Aaarrrgghh states, " very nasty"

" Stalkling?" Blinky repeats

" Stalkling ?" Jim asks, " It was flying in daylight. How can it fly in daylight?"

" Stalklings are one of the only spieces of troll immune to the effects of sunlight." Vendel showed Jim the book he just 'coincidentally' has.

" That looks not nearly as scary as what attacked me." Jim says as he looks at the picture

" That's because those unlucky few who are caught alone with it, never live long enough to depict it. I'm curious, how is it that you're not disembodied?" Vendel asks as he closed the book

" I don't know, I hit him with my sword, I think." Jim tried to answer the question

" You struck a blow against a Stalkling." Blinky says with enthusiasm, " What galant bravery."

" It was more like luck" Jim tried to say

" Incredibly heroic and brave and trollhunter-ish" Blinky says to try to persuade Vendel

" We shall see. Once a Stalkling marks its target, its... well stalks it till death." Vendel says as he walks away to other important matters

Fay took it that it was her time to bounce. She left the group knowing that there was a hungry Stalkling on the loose. Perhaps she could take shelter at master Jim's home. Besides there's a letter for Draal.
