a few minutes later we arrived at the entrance to the trollhunter's training area. the entrances wall was shiny and reflectve like glass so toby entertained himself making faces at his reflection. as we continued walking Jim's armour disappeared and his amulet fell into his hand.
"um," he asked us "what just happened?"
"the amulet replied to your unconscious command, master jim" the troll told Jim, "you are at ease, are you not?'
"i am actually" jim replied calmly.
"it senses that" the troll grinned "you are beginning to master it."
as he finished his sentence we turned a corner and ended up in a giant cavern with statues of previous trollhunters and carvings on the walls.
"holy trolls!" I cried, "is this a palace?!"
"this is the heroes forge!" the many armed troll shouted dramatically as his voice echoed around the cavernous cave.
to get into the forge we had to walk over a stone path that jutted up from a seemingly bottomless ravine. while toby ad jim peered over the edge I stayed close to Aaarrrgghh and tried not to look down into the gaping ravine.
"Magnifico" Jim muttered as we stepped onto the circular arena at the end of the path, "wait, are these . . .
"Trollhunters" Aaarrrgghh finished for him.
"Your predessors mater Jim!" The other troll exclamed "a line of heroism the reaches back to the age of Merlin"
He turned toward an empty podium, "this is the place for the final repose for kanjigar, 'the courageous'. One day, there will be a statue of you here, master Jim". Jim gave him an alarmed look and the troll quickly added, "one day very far off in the future, of course!"
"Hold up a second" I started to say "if Jim's the 'trollhunter' then why isn't he hunting you guys, you are trolls, right?"
"hunt bad trolls" Aaarrrgghh answered as he put a hand on Jim's shoulder "gumm-gumm's".
"i still can't get over how ridiculous their name sounds" i giggled.
"in trollspeak, gumm-gumm means bringer of slow, painful and thoroughly-calculated death" the smaller troll growled.
I immediately stopped laughing.
"but do not be too concerned mistress (Y/N)" the smaller troll continued "the gumm-gumm's were exiled to the Darklands centuries ago, only one roams free."
"one who is intent on killing jim" I muttered darkly
"wait!" Toby exclaimed, "Bular is one of the unspeakably evil trolls!?"
jim sighed loudly and slaped his forehead with his hand.
"indeed" the smaller troll replied gravely "his father and the rest of their number remain exiled to the darklands, but they have been trying to escape for centuries, I sense ill times are upon us. hence the need to begin master Jim's training now!"
he reached to press a button on the wall.
"step back, please," he asked just before he pressed the button.
we all took a few steps back.
"a little further, Tobias" he sighed.
