Jim's POV:
(Written by @Mad_Be_Green)

It took me a while to process what just went down. I was speechless and didn't know what to do. I was down in Trollmarket just wondering around and checking up on trolls before Merlin found me. Yes I was beyond angry at him because he is the one who chose me to be the legendary 'Trollhunter'.

"Trollhunter-" he began.

"Don't call me that!" I snapped. I began to walk away. I didn't even want to hear what that stupid wizard was going to say.

"Wait!" He cried. "I must show you something."

"Well whatever it is it will half to wait," I snarled.

"I found a solution for you to go into the sun," he explained. That made me pause in my tracks.

"What?" I said exasperated. I turned to the old wizard.

"Come," he said.

I followed him. I followed him into the Heroe's Forge. And Blinky was there holding a box. No way! I couldn't believe how I didn't think of this before! Blinky held the box with his two hands then opened the top with the other two. Inside were million stones of all colors. I remember this from when I chose the stone that summoned hundreds of me's.

Merlin walked up to me and began to look in the box. He was muttering something like, no that's not right.

"Ah ha!" he exclaimed as he pulled out a stone that was literally glowing bright yellow. It was just like the sun itself.

"Here you go." He placed it in my hand. "James this stone grants you the ability to walk in sunlight."

I pulled out my amulet and touched the back. It opened to reveal all the Triumbrik Stones that can be used for Eclipse.

Placing the stone in the free slot, I closed the amulet. It began to glow yellow, then it changed back to blue. I placed the amulet pack where it belonged.

"What now?" I asked Merlin.

"Now let's go see if it works."

Blinky, Merlin and I made our way back to the entrance of Trollmarket. Merlin opened it to reveal the bridge. A huge shadow casted out from where the bridge laid. We make our way to a part that was sunny.

"Go ahead," Merlin urged.

I glanced at the beaming sunlight. Hesitantly I stuck my hand into the sunlight. It didn't burn at all. Then gathering all my courage I stepped into the sunlight which now covered my whole body. I was expected to be burned to death, but no. I was free.

"I can't believe this!" I yelled.

Usually I would make my way to the forest after leaving Trollmarket. But I thought, maybe just this once I could go back to Arcadia as if I was still human.

"Thank you Merlin," I said. He nodded and smiled. Then I turned and began to make my way to the city.
