Wizards: Tales of Arcadia

Meow.

Your wound is festering with dark magic.

I... I don't know if that's necessary.

Oh, it's no trouble at all. You're lucky to be alive.

I've always wanted to use these.

Here, bite down on this.

Hey, that's my boyfriend you're operating on!

Oh! Humans! Sound the alarm!

Hold! Please, Vendel of Dwoza.

I humble myself before you.

Camelot needs your help.

Gunmar the Black's swarm of Gumm-Gumms are ready to strike.

The monsters seek vengeance on both our kind.

And after all you've done, you expect us Trolls to fight this war for you?

No, not for me; With me, as equals.

Glorkus me!

I vow, if we win this war, we shall live in peace.

Ha!

Hey!

Move your rocky butt, Calamity!

Hu-hu-humans!

It's an infestation!

No, I believe it's a negotiation.

By Gorgus, the king seeks an alliance!

Are they mad?

Gumm-Gumms are terrifying warriors while we are but humble gravel miners.

How do you expect us to ever defeat Gunmar?

We will give you a secret weapon.

A weapon?

You really think they can work this out?

They have to, or everyone in Camelot and Dwoza are doomed.

Then so is saving history. Great.

I assure you, all will be fine once I've completed my amulet.

So, this is the once and future Trollhunter I've heard of.

May I have a word, alone?

Um, sure. Be right back.

I can't believe it.

Arthur wants us Trolls fighting alongside his big, shiny knights like heroes?

Us? No one's asking you to fight, No-Name.

I knew you were cursed, Callista.

You've brought outsiders and their war into our home!

Hey, look who it is... Blinkous the Gumm-Gumm Tamer.

Hey, your prisoner awaits.

Just don't get too close to him. You know what happened to the other Troll.

What happened?

Well, beastie here pulled his eyes out.

His eyes?

- All of them? - Yep.

At least he couldn't see his limbs getting torn off.

- Great Gronka Morka! - Have fun in there, Galadrigal.

Greetings, Savage One.

I bring undergarments as a snack.

Have you eaten?

Not my eyes!

Are... Are you all right?

Why aren't you indiscriminately smashing my spine?

When Gunmar find out Aaarrrgghh fail, Gunmar kill Aaarrrgghh.

Well, that seems a tad harsh.

One may say an overreaction.

Perhaps eating this woolly muck will lift your spirits.

Ugh. Plech! Oh.

Go. Leave Aaarrrgghh to die.

Oh, my, it seems we are both lost causes.

I'm no tamer of Gumm-Gumms.

I'm a weakling, a coward, a pacifist.

"Pa-cee-fist"...

Don't know word.

Mm. Tasty socks.

I regret that it is beyond my power.

When you return to the present, the shard will finish its work.

So, that's it, then.

Thanks for trying, Merl.

Hey, is everything okay?

- What are you talking about? - Oh, um... nothing.

Just Merlin prepping me for the trip home.

Wait, wait, wait, you finally finished the Heart of Avalon?

- It's working? - Indeed.

But first, we must survive the battle to come.

Wizard...

we've reached an agreement.

Now you must convince the crowd.

Trolls of Dwoza, hear us now!

As we speak, death comes for us all.

But we bring an offer of hope.

Here comes the light show!

I've designed a grand weapon,

an amulet which will choose the greatest warrior among you

to banish the Gumm-Gumm menace from our realm and become the Trollhunter!

Trollhunter?

The amulet's power will activate Killahead Bridge,

once a border between our worlds,

turning it into a magic prison for Gunmar and his brood,

trapping them in the Darklands and ending this war!

Wow. We would finally have peace?

No more bloodshed, no more dungeons...

The Trollhunter could save our kind.

Stop gawking, outsider.

I, Draal, Dwoza's strongest, shall be chosen for glory!

The battle will not be easy.

While the wizard builds this am-yoo-let,

the king's men will train our bravest.

- Indeed. I shall guide the... - Yeah!

Knights Steve and Lance here to whip you big hosses into warriors!

Krav Maga! Turtle stance!

Whoo! Ah! Hee-yaw!

Then we ride for Killahead to draw Gunmar out.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Hmm.

Well, it seems we may have a shot at surviving this after all.

One shot is the best I can offer.

When Killahead activates, it shall unleash a surge of magic across the realm.

Just enough to power the Heart of Avalon for a trip through time.

But only one, which means everything must go according to my plan.

Hisirdoux, with me.

I need your assistance.

At least we're reunited.

We'll get through this... together.

Come on, I wanna take you somewhere.

Uh, you two take a beat.

Merlin and I have still got to actually finish

the amulet all our hopes are riding on.

Arthur has sorcerers of his own.

They won't be tricked by your impure changelings again.

With your Decimaar Blade, all will submit to your will.

Do it.

Bring the witch to me.

Go, build your army.

Tonight, the Wild Wood will run red.

Our enemies will tremble.

All right, men... Uh, Trolls! Trolls!

Warfare is both art and skill.

Listen up, rock-jocks!

Class is in session for Steve's Knight School of Hard Knocks and Rocks!

When I'm done with you,

the amulet will have lean, mean, kick-butt fighters to choose from.

Hey! If you pull it out, you eat it!

Right now.

Let's get swole!

Your arms need to become hammers to nail down your enemies!

You're out!

I guarantee nobody will be kicking sand in your face anymore!

Become a champion of freedom and love,

worthy to be sculpted on Greek marble!

Claire? The battle's coming.

Sure we have time for random surprises?

Okay...

now you can look.

Wow, what a nice field?

Wait, is this...

- Is that... - It's your house in Arcadia!

Or it will be in, like, a thousand years.

Thought you could use a reminder of home...

of better times...

and us.

Claire, that's... incredible!

You teleported us across the planet just for a date!

I hope you're hungry for meat pies

because it was either that or Callista's sock casserole.

Claire, this is perfect.

So, earlier...

I figured out what Merlin was talking about.

- You did? Claire, I... - Yeah.

You were wondering if Merlin's new amulet would choose you.

I think one's enough, hero.

- Yeah. - Hey, wanna see a new trick I learned?

Uh, since when did you become such an awesome wizard?

Douxie's a pretty solid teacher.

I wanted to be ready for whatever comes next.

I'm not losing you again.

We should probably head back,

get ready for Killahead.

Can't we stay longer?

Like forever?

Maybe just a few more minutes.

The gems have the exact resonance and light transmissions we require.
