After hours of setting up equipment in master Jim's house, Fay tiredly plopped down onto a pillow. She stared at Strickler as Jim went down to the basement for more supplies.

" Aren't you a valuable little creature?" Strickler said as Fay raised her head

" That's what other trolls keep telling me. I don't know what it means though." Fay spoke as she sat up and faces the changeling

" You better be careful around them. You never know when they can turn against you." Strickler chuckled as Jim came back from the basement with lights.

Fay simply nodded to end their little conversation and got up from her little pillow. Strickler moved away from her and began setting up a type of machinery. She was just about to go upstairs when Master Jim caught her attention.

" Fay, Can you lift this rope up to the fan?" Jim asked as he held out the rope.

Fay stared at it before pulling at it as she fluttered up to the large fan. She pulled it over the fans arms before letting it hang from the ceiling.

" Thanks Fay!" Jim Thanked as he pulled the rope through the fan and back towards the front door.

Fay decided to take a break on the arm of the fan but a blue hand awaited for her down below. She could see his yellow eyes waiting for her as she stood up and dropped down to his palm. Fay could see Strickler watching her as Draal let her climb onto his shoulder. It worried her as she held onto Draal as he passed by Strickler. His gaze caught hers as they shared that second together.

" Draal, Can you pull that rope further back?" Jim interrupted as Draal turned around

Fay watched in awe as Draal pulled the rope back further, making the giant axe lift higher into the air. Satisfied with his work, Draal tied the rope and sat down on the stairs and began sharpening his axe.

" Okay, that's the last one." Jim stated as he helped Strickler set up another mechanic, " Now, all we do is wait."

" You know, I'm a bit surprised how well we work together." Strickler stated as he smiled at his dandy work

" You know, I'm still going to take you down after all this is over." Jim snapped back as he strained the rope over Strickler's neck

Draal began laughing at the situation in front of him as Fay just smiled as Jim let Strickler breathe.

" Perhaps, if we get through this, I could talk to my constituents about the Eye of Gunmar." Strickler began to persuade the young Master Jim, " I assume you're still interested in finding the last Triumbric stone?"

" You know where it is?" Jim questioned as Fay got up from Draal's shoulder. She could sense that something was not right.

" Personally, no." Strickler said as Fay worriedly looked at Draal, " But my ilk are wide and numerous. Where there's a will, there's a way.

" Why would you help me kill Gunmar?" Jim questioned as Draal got up and stood behind Jim with Fay constantly twitching

" Let's just say, I'm always looking out for my best interests." Strickler simply stated as Draal looked over at Fay.

Draal turned back to blow off his axe as Fay turned around froze as the white eye staring back at her. She slowly tapping Draal's head to patting it in fear until he finally turned her way. Draal gasped as the eye stared at him.

" What is that?" Draal questioned as everyone turned his and Fay's way

"It's his eye!" Strickler exclaimed

"Gunmar's?" Jim questioned

" Angor Rot's!" Fay exclaimed as she got up

" Get it!" Strickler demanded as he pointed at the rolling eye

Draal reached to get but the eye rolled off the stairwell and onto the floor.

" After it! There, there!" Strickler pointed as Fay lunged off of Draal's shoulder

" Catch is before it escapes!" Jim screamed as Fay flew to catch up with the zooming eye

" Fay!" Draal called out as he chased after her

Fay caught up with the eye as it bounced onto the counter. She stopped its path as she grabbed a fork and batted. The eyeball had just enough time to dodge her as it jumped to the island counter. She was just about to follow it when a metal hand caught her instead. Fay watched the eye make a leap for the sink but Jim was quick enough to catch it in a glass. He covered the top as Draal loosened his grip on Fay.

" How long has he been watching us?" Jim questioned as he trapped the eye in the glass with a plate over the top

The doorknob began to rattle as everyone became silent. Everyone gasped as Draal tightened his grip again but gently set Fay on the counter.

" He's here! Get in position!" Jim whisper yelled as everyone ran to their stations

Fay quickly flew to the book shelf that was in the living room. She moved aside all his books and hid behind them. Siting down, she awaited for the struggle of Angor Rot.

Instead, she heard Barbara's voice instead followed along with Master Jim's screams. Fay waited there as she silently counted in her head. Strickler began sputtering as he accidentally shot a light off the ceiling. Causing Draal to charge at Barbara and make her scream with terror. Fay moved aside a book to see Barbara spray Master Jim and Draal.

Master Jim screamed with pain as Draal groaned in pain, while backing up into a trap. Causing a wrench to be launched into his face and being hit by a club. Draal stumbled until he fell onto the floor in front of the book case. Fay looked down upon his passed out form. She leaned out to see if his eyes were open.

That's when she felt the weight of the book shelf lean with her. Fay tried to fly out of danger but a book clipped her wing and sent her tumbling to the ground. She groaned as she heard Jim lift the book up from her and quickly move to the fallen book case. Barbara continued to scream as Strickler gently picked up Fay and checked her over.

" It's okay mom! He is a friend!" Jim tried to explain as Barbara inched near Jim

" He was a friend. Now, he's out cold." Strickler stated as he unbent Fay's wing

Barbara looked over at Strickler then looked down at Fay who was currently fixing her hair. She frantically looked between Draal and Fay before she screamed and passed out.

" And so is she." Strickler stepped forth as Fay turned around and gripped onto his thumb
