Becoming~
Despite what the songs and sagas would have you believe about Kanjigar, things didn’t come easy for the current Trollhunter.
He’s had his own share of problems and dilemmas. And might as he tried to carry them on his own, to keep the weight of his responsibility from others there were things he couldn’t solve or dispher on himself.
One example being the current vision that had plagued him.
It had been a long few days of patrolling the streets and forest surrounding Arcadia, negotiating peace treaties between different clans of trolls, and chasing Bular. The latter of which seems to take sweet sadistic joy in making the current Trollhunter run after him.
He knew Bular was up to something, the Gum-Gum prince hinting as such and thriving on Kanjigars frustration as he struggled to comprehend what.
So yes, it had been a frustrating few days.
That's why when Kanjigar finally removed his armor and collapsed in his and Draals shared den, with Blinky and Aaaarrghhs prompting, he found himself resigned to enjoy a restful few hours of sleep.
Only instead of being welcomed by a void of nothing Kanjigar was plagued by images and visions he could barely comprehend.
Of an infinite starry night.
A celestial body that was surrounded by a ring of floating rocks.
Two vessels made of metal that could fly and were doing battle.
Fire and explosions lighting up through the darkness of its space.
A silvery sphere being launched into space, towards a world of bright greens and blues.
His world.
Kanjigar awoke in a panic, stone chest heaving.
Besides him he eyed the Amulet of Daylight glowing a frantic blue.
“Was this your doing”? He found himself asking “Were these visions of a prophecy”?
Kanjigar knew he would get no answer in this state but could potentially find it elsewhere. Quick on his feet he donned his armor and made his way out of his den.
“Father”?
Kanjigar looked to see son Draal standing by the door way, slug over his shoulder was what sounded like scraps of metal and glass. The older troll found himself warmed that his son would go through the trouble of getting him a snack but realized he couldn’t let himself be distracted.
“I’m off to see Vendel, son” he answered brisky as he made his way to the entryway.
Draal though continued to block his path “But arn’t you supposed to be resting, you’ve gone without sleep for too long-”
“A Trollhunter doesn't always get the leisure of rest”! He snapped before gently but firmly pushing Draal away.
But even as he made his way into the streets of Trollmarket Kanjigar could hear the crash of the bag of food hitting against the wall and the aggravated growl of Draals.
He was only trying to help you, a quite voice whispered.
But Kanjigar shook them away though.
Reminding himself that this was for the best, the farther away Draal was from Trollhunter business the safer he would be.
“And are you sure that's what you saw?” asked Vendel.
The leader of Trollmarket and overall elder of his tribe, Vendel was quite proficient at his craft of deciphering prophecies.
“Yes” answered Kanjigar.
Vendel pulled at his beared thoughtfully as he paced back and forth in his workshop.
“Visions of the stars, flying ships of metal” the troll elder finally stopped “You don’t think….that another visit from the stars is at play here”?
Kanjigar furrowed his brow.
The last time they had been visited from worlds beyond it was to assist the two royals of House Tarron in hiding away their most precious relic. Kanjigar unconsciously tapped his foot on the floor, reminding himself that under their feet is where the great item of power layed sealed away by his own hands.
“I can’t be sure, the last visions of the King and Queen were clear enough” said the Trollhunter “But now…”
A part of Kanjigar wondered how the royal couple has fared these last centuries. He hoped nothing for the best from them, their families, and their people.
But if the visions were about them….
Kanjigar lightly shuddered as he remembered the devastating attack between the two flying ships. But not seeing the royals in his visions overall did serve to reassure the Trollhunter that the king and queen were well.
Still though.
“I’m just not sure how to make sense of them” admitted Kanjigar.
Vendel only nodded “Visions show so much and show so little” he said “Prophecies of what could come and what danger they present, but still leaving us with so many questions” the elder troll looked to the Trollhunter “But still at least we are presented with one clue”
“Really”? Asked Kanjigar for clarification.
Vendel huffed “We can already tell where its coming from” before stretching his ancient neck to look to the amber ceiling “We have only to look to the heavens”
______________________________________
Jim groaned as noticed the sun finally dipping over the horizon over the tree-line.
He should be home by now getting meal prep done for tomorrow's lunches and dinners. But here he was instead, basically searching blind through the bushes for his phone.
The reason?
Psycho Steve.
His legal name being Steve Palchuck, the schools resident bully and today he had chosen Jim as his target for today. Granted it was Toby that Steve had been trying to aim for, only for Jim to try to shield his friend and call Steve out on his jerky behavior.
“It's ridiculous! Could you at least try being original for a change? You've been doing the same old bully routine since the second grade, Steve! It's tired. Making fun of Toby for his weight? Seriously”?
This had gotten him a furious look from the blond jock before morphing into a sadistic smile. He had guessed he was going to be paid back for the comment in some way, but as the rest of the school day passed he had hoped Steve's neanderthal brain squeezed Jims comment out of his thought process.
But when he and Toby began to bike their way home Steve and his lackeys slid up to them like a shiver of sharks.
Jim and Toby had hurriedly sped up on their bikes to try to get away, but unfortunately Palchuck and his gang were some of the school's top athletes so it took them little time to catch up to the pair.
“I’m coming for you Lake”! jeered Steve “You dead meat”!
With those words Jim found himself slightly grateful that Steve's anger seemed to be directed on him specifically and not Toby, given that at the moment the pudgy teen was already gasping for breath as he tried to speed up.
Because of that Jim made a quick decision, eyeing one of the alleyways that faced the forest Jim swerved his bike towards it. Steve made a startled sound before it turned into an enraged grunt.
“Get back here Lake”! Jim heard the bully shout.
The pavement soon gave way to more uneven dirt as Jim raced his bike through the slopes of the woods. His bike jostling along but the teen skillfully keeping his balance, unlike Palchuck and his friends.
Jim couldn’t help grinning as he stared back and saw the boys struggling to keep up.
Steve and his friends maybe some of the top athletes at school but Jim grew up in these woods.
Heck! Him and Toby were Mole Scouts at one point!
“You're dead, Lake”! Steve yelled “When I catch-up to you, your gonna wish-”
But at this point Jim thankfully couldn’t hear him.
The teen didn’t stop till he was at the canal.
Huffing and out of breath, Jim reached for his phone to text Toby that he was okay but froze when he felt his jacket pocket was empty.
He felt around his jeans, but still nothing.
Jim looked to the forest, wincing.
“Oh, no….”
Now Jim was stuck in the woods looking frantically for his phone.
A part of him reasons he should just go to Tobys to ask his friend for help but was still weary of Steve prowling around. So he grit and beared the task of trying to find his phone on his own. But as the last bit of sunlight kissed the horizon Jim had to accept he might not find it tonight or worse, never.
Jim groaned again, he didn’t want to ask his mom for a new one or use his Vespa savings to buy another, but the hard truth was that he may have too.
It was getting dark and he didn’t want to be stuck in the woods at night on his own, even if he was still close to the urban areas.
It just didn’t feel safe…
Jogging through the growing darkness of the woods to make his way back home something caught the teens eyes.
Squinting up at the dark sky Jim was shocked to see something glowing bright in the night.
At first Jim guessed it was an airplane or even hopefully a shooting star.
(something he could use to wish on to help him find his phone)
Only for the bright object to worryingly grow in size and intensity as it flew towards him.
“What the-” Jim started only to scream as the “shooting star” zoomed right at him!
The teen dove out of the way just in time for the burning object to race by him, his whole back side flushed with warmth by the speed of the falling thing.
There was a loud crash and hunks of rocks flew everywhere!
Jim stayed tucked under the underbrush, only looking up when the last of the debris fell away. The air was filled with dust and Jim coughed as he slowly sat up. His eyes widen when he saw a crater and curiously the teen took a step forward.
Another gasp left his mouth as he saw the devastation the crash left a good portion of the forest
Peering down into the center of the crater Jim could almost make out a small dark object.
“A meteor”? He asked out loud.
Going back to his sixth grade science knowledge, he heard meteors that crashed to earth usually broke apart in the earth's atmosphere and rarely did they cause any damage of this sizable amount.
Despite the devastation, Jim couldn’t help but be excited at the prospect of finding a real meteorite.
Imagine the reaction of his classmates if he came to school tomorrow with a real piece of space-rock!
He be a school legend!
And maybe….
Jim's thoughts immediately turned to a pretty browned-eyed dark haired girl from history class. So lost in thought the teen didn’t know that the ledge he was standing on was beginning to come apart till he was already falling into the crater.
Groaning Jim stood back up, while getting his bearings he came face to face to what was in the crater.
The item was round and seemed to be made of some dark metal, parts of it platted like a shell or even a rolly-polly.
Definitely not a meteor in Jims books.
“Is this a part of a satellite or something”? The teen asked out loud.
Maybe it was a piece of a satellite or even a rocket ship, still pretty cool and-
The round object suddenly opened and Jim was engulfed in a bright green light. Inside was a strange looking bracelet or watch, the thing was made up of black and gray material with white lines detailing the surface and in the center was a green and black symbol that reminded Jim of an hourglass.
As if in a trance Jim walked towards it, stretching his arm out when he was only a foot away.
All of a sudden the thing actually jumped!
"Ahhhh"!!! he screamed as the thing wrapped firmly around his wrist, he flayed his arm around trying to throw the strange thing away from him.
"Get off! Get off"!!! Jim shouted over again, he did everything he could think of to get rid of the watch. From trying to pry it off with his hands, rolling on the ground, to then grabbing a fallen branch and trying to wedge it underneath the watch.
Only for it to snap in half.
"You gotta be kidding me”! Said Jim as he kneeled down on the dirt.
Jim started at the strange watch again, studying for some kind of seam or lock he could pick at. Looking at the circular center where the hour-glass was, curiously Jim twisted it and surprisingly the watch beeped and a portion of the watch lifted up. Not releasing Jim’s wrist but strangely the hour-glass symbol shifted revealing a vague black figure.
Curious and without thinking Jim pressed on the dial.
The moment that the center of the watch was press though an emerald light enveloped the space around him, blinding the teen.
Jim felt something strange come over him, a strange surge of energy course throughout his body.
He felt his skin crack open, his bones stretched and broadened, a feeling of intense warmth came over him that left his head feeling dizzy!
What was happening!?
What was this watch doing to him!
He gave a gargled choke before everything finally seemed to settle down, by then the light was gone.
Jim cracked his eye unsteadily, the nervously lifted his hand up.
Only to Jims horror his skinny wrist had been replaced with a large bright fiery arm. His skin was cracked and speckled with hot red rocks like magma. His digits a glowing yellow like the embers of a deep furnace.
He..he was..
"I'm on fire" he breathed before screaming, "I'M ON FIRE"!!!!
He slapped at his arms trying to extinguish the flames and blowing on them with his non-existent breath, but nothing worked.
The only reason he stopped was when he didn’t feel the expected agonizing pain that stories his mom told from work warned him about.
Stopping Jim studied his new hands.
Again there was no pain.
“Hey, I’m on fire” he said “And I’m okay”
Feeling a certain pressure on his fingertips Jim flicked his fingers and immediately sparks of flames danced on his palms.
“Check it out”! he found himself laughing “I’m totally hot”!
Jim eyed a tree behind him, then using the same pressure he made a finger gun motion and sent a sphere of fire that practically snapped the tree in two.
“Now thats what I’m talking about”! cried Jim.
Whatever the watch was, whatever it did to him, just made his life so much more interesting!
This was amazing!
Incredible!
“I gotta tell Toby” he realized
Jim in his new fiery body, quickly made his way out of the woods.
His path was far more illuminated now.
_______________________________________
Kanjigar looked worryingly down at the metal casing in front of him.
Just as Vendel had suggested he kept his eyes on the heavens, leaving Trollmarket he still had doubts in the visions he had received but those all evaporated as he saw something glowing fly through the air and land somewhere in the forest of Arcadia.
Quickly getting his bearings the Trollhunter navigated through the woods to where the light fell.
He found the crater and traveled down into it.
Seeing the casing he studied it and from a distant memory realized this was no material made on earth, but from the stars.
This was his vision!
Only….the case was worryingly empty.
“What were you holding” asked Kanjigar as he lifted the item up “And where is it now”?

Trollhunter!Nomura AU (part 1)
This AU was made by me and @elegantjellyfishwerewolf (check her account to find more information about it).
Now I want to tell you the beginning of this story.
At this AU Strickler begin to date Barbara two months before the main events. Their relationship got started because of Jim's lack of sleep and lateness at school. As a result, Strickler and Barbara become very close to each other and Jim Jim begins to subconsciously perceive Strickler as his father.
//two months later//
After Kanjigar’s death Strickler gives an order to Nomura to check the canal and take the amulet before it will choose another trollhunter. As Nomura came to the canal the amulet calls out her name and she realizes that it’s not good to her. Because of fear that Bular and Janus Order will kill her as soon as she would open the bridge, she doesn’t go to Strickler.
Instead of it Nomura goes to hide in her apartments where Blinky and Aargh visit her and say that she is new trollhunter now. They quickly understand that she is changeling, Nomura runs from them at the panic and trolls go chasing her. At the same time Toby goes out from dentist and notices three running creatures at twilight. He feels a bit scared but at the same time curious and decides to follow them on a bike. After a “jogging” trolls and changeling come to a temporary truce because Blinky and Aargh realize that Nomura isn’t interested at opening the bridge and Nomura doesn’t see aggression towards herself in their behavior. Toby hears their entire conversation, but reveals his presence with some noise. Nomura notices him and is going to kill him as witness, but Blinky stops her from that and they let Domzalski go on the condition that he does not tell anyone what he saw.
At the same time at the Lake house Strickler proposed to Barbara to get married at dinner and she accepts it. Some later at the same evening he gets an information from goblins that the new trollhuner is Nomura now and it makes him nervous because she knows EVERYTHING about their plans. He sends an urgent order to send NotEnrique on the surface to replace by him Nomura’s place and go by himself to get Angor Rot from his prison because he isn’t sure in Bular’s powers. He wants to destroy the new trollhunter as soon as possible.Strickler brings Angor to Arcadia the very next day. As in canon, Angor doesn’t trust to changeling words that his soul will be free again and preparing a trap to him. At some critical moment Strickler barks at his slave saying something like “Do anything!” and at the next moment Angor cuts off part of left hand on which he was wearing Inferno Copula. Angor takes back his soul but let Strickler go.
Walter gets to the hospital and Barbara is very shocked at the way he looks like. After an attempt was made on Strickler's life while he was in the ward, the fact is that the Order of Janus, specifically Otto, found out about Walt's offer about marriage and decided that their leader had softened. There is an explosion in the hospital as a result of which Strickler survives, but Barbara....does not.
At this time Angor decides to redeem himself and therefore comes to the Trollmarket to take on the duties of an absent trollhunter. At first, trolls don’t trust him and a bit afraid of killer, but Vendel because of rumors that the new trollhunter might be a human or changeling decides to accept Angor’s proposal. Draal initially perceives this decision of the elder negatively and challenges Angor to a duel during which he loses (the fight was not public, so Draal did not lose his honor), but Angor decides not to kill him and so they both begin to respond to the calls that were intended for the hunter.
While Nomura moves from her apartments to motel, Strickler replaces the missing part of his arm with a prosthesis (a metal prosthesis with hidden golden claws) and finds out who organized the attempt on him (it was Otto). He comes to the Order of Janus and demonstratively kills Otto (who has already managed to proclaim himself the new head) in front of other changelings, as if saying that he should not be discounted. The changelings recognize Strickler's power and he becomes the leader of the order again.
Enrique is substituted, but NotEnrique verysoon reveals his essence to Claire and she threatens the changeling and asks him to take her to her brother, but Neenrique decides to bring her to the entrance to the Trollmarket in the hope that by penetrating there she will be eaten and he will get rid of the witness. Claire enters the Trollmarket and getting found by Angor. Nunez, impressed by the magic of Angor Rot, asks him to start training her to prepare before going to the Darklands and saving her brother. Angor initially refuses, but Claire is too persistent and determined in her desire to save her brother, so Angor reluctantly agrees, hoping that she will leave after a couple of grueling training sessions or die in the course of training.Nomura understands that the influence of Janus order is growing and it would be better for her to go to Trollmarket, but she also understands that the trolls most likely will not accept her until she proves that she can be trusted. Therefore, she, along with Blinky, Aaarrgh and Toby, who has followed them, come up with a plan to kill Bular. Everything is going according to plan and Nomura, along with Bular's head, goes to the troll market to finally take her place as a trollhunter.
