Raindrops slid across the glass. Dawn broke minutes before. Not that anyone would have noticed. Dark gray, light gray, blue-gray—everything was muted to hell and back again. It brought back all his frustrations to the surface once more. Yey, Atlas inwardly grumbled, exactly what I need.

A voice disrupted his thoughts. His ears twitched at the sounds coming from the bedside table.

"Maybe you should stay in bed, Arcadia," the radio announcer remarked. " Looks like this storm may stick with us for a while. In other news, a local high school teen went missing last night. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Claire Nu—"

Thunder rumbled. The radio became muffled by static before shutting off.

His stomach churned. He ducked his head as a familiar smell entered the room.

"We'll rescue her, Atlas."

He nodded before turning away, choosing to nurse the cold pack on his face. A sprained wrist and concussion were nothing in comparison to the guilt racking him. How many times had she told Atlas that today? He lost count.

Didn't she understand the impossibility of it all? No, she couldn't'. This wasn't just any troll, this was Bular. How could Atlas ever hope to defeat the likes of him? Kanjigar certainly hadn't, nor had the previous Trollhunters before him.
