Chapter 1: the incident.
Hilda had just become 13 years old, and haven't done any risky adventures since she was nine, so she started doing safer activities, like riding on a bike in Trollberg or playing in the near arcade with Frida and David. That night would be the bird parade, the 5th one after she moved to Trollberg. She was excited, raven would appear in the dark sky and light it, also she would talk to him because she doesn't see him pretty often, and only when he was passing through Trollberg in winter for a night and in the bird parade (just for being safer after he was knocked down by a rock) and she talking with Frida and David in the Arcade.
"So were we are seeing, as usual?" Frida asked.
"Yeah, 6:30 pm at the statue" said David
as he was beating a level of Donkey Kong "Will you come Hilda?"
"Of course, I don't see the Raven very often, so why would I miss this opportunity?" Hilda chuckled, flipping some coins from her palms.
"Ok, its kind of understandable but- GOD DAMMIT STUPID MACHINE" cried David, who kicked the arcade machine out of vented frustration, hurting his foot in the process.
"Chill David, it's just a game" said Frida, as she pulled a quarter out of her pocket, "Besides it's my turn so please let the champion of Donkey Kong through to show you, how to play the right way. "
"Calm down champion," Hilda smirked,"you couldn't with street fighter so don't brag about yourself." "
"As if you could with Pac Man." Frida chastised, as she beated another level.
"Well… nobody's perfect, as you think." Grumbled Hilda.
"Guys stop arguing! It's not impor-" a blast on the whistle interrupted the conversation.
"It's my mother, see ya at 6:30!"yelled Hilda as she waved his hand to his friends, and they waved back.
Hilda entered the car and her mother seemed a little nervous, so Hilda asked "What happened? You normally get excited in the bird parade"
"Hilda… this isn't normal" said her mother as she pressed the accelerator. "I will tell you at home"
"What do you mean by this isn't normal?" Hilda asked her mother, but she didn't replied.
Hilda didn't knew what was happening, she checked his clock "Its 2:36" she thought "Raven must be home now".
When she got home, she was received by her deerfox, Twig, Alfur (seeing a little nervous) and surprisingly, the woodman, reading his book.
"Oh god, Hilda, thank god you came, I've got bad news for you" said Alfur a bit fast.
"What's happening, and where is Raven?" said Hilda.
"That's what we were going to tell you, he doesn't appear anywhere" said his mom.
"WHAT?!" yelled Hilda.
"We called the woodman to see if he had seen Raven" said Alfur.
"And no, I didn't see him either" said the woodman.
"This isn't good! If he doesn't appear tonight… I don't know what will happen next" said Hilda. "Maybe he was knocked down by another child".
"That's what we thought at first, but I seek for him in all Trollberg and… He doesn't appear." Said Johanna, grabbing some Jorts.
"Calm down, maybe he waked up a bit late or gotten a bit lost, nothing of a great deal" said calmly the woodman. "Maybe he will come in the night".
"Well you're right" said Alfur, calming down. "But what if-".
"He will come, don't worry." Said woodman, closing his book that said "The burdid culture, a lost in time history".
"Ok, we will just wait until 7:00 pm" said Hilda. "Maybe he will come".
"Maybe…" said his mother, still nervous.
It was 6:25 pm and Hilda get early to the statue, while she was waiting for Frida and David, he was remembering the moments with raven, when he was knocked down by Trevor, when he remembered what he was when he almost drowned, when he was seeking for her when he entered that magic house, all the times he talked to her, Alfur, her mother, Frida and David about his adventures, the moment when they both dispersed the storm and then free that little climate spirit from Victoria Von Gale. But as she thought of that, she started to think "Does Victoria Von Gale has something to do with the disappear of Raven" he started shaking of fear if what she was thinking was true, but then she said. "No, nobody knows of Victoria after the incident, I don't think she would do something with Raven" she then, saw Frida and David coming towards her:
"Guys! Raven doesn't appear anywhere. Have you seen him?" Hilda said.
"WHAT?!" David yelled.
"This is bad, but I think I saw raven while coming here." Said Frida, but she seemed not too sure.
"That kinda relaxes me, but it could be just a normal raven, but who knows?" Hilda said.
"Well, all we can do is wait for Raven to (hopefully) appear."Alfur said as he showed up.
All agreed and waited…
Raven waked up in a dark place and felt pretty weak, but he tried to walk, and as he started trying, he discovered he was attached to a thick chain, and he couldn't move, he tried transforming into his thunderbird form but he couldn't. "what's happening?" he tried to transform again but it failed, he was pretty weak, he tried to remember what day it was and then remembered. "It's the fucking bird parade! What time is it?" he yelled as he tried to break the chain, but this one electrocuted him, as he felt to the floor, he realized he was bleeding from his legs, then he realized he was kidnapped.
"Feels bad, isn't it?" a female voice said.
"Who said that?! REVEAL!" yelled raven.
"Me, Victoria Von Gale" she said as she revealed. Raven was shocked.
"Remember me? And remembered the day you and the blue-haired girl destroyed all
my worked progress? Well I want to be paid for that, and I will start for you!"said Victoria as he turned on the lights.
"I didn't do anything to you! I didn't knew you were hiding a climate spirit as a subject for experiments until Hilda told me!."said Raven as he started to feel weaker.
"No you supported the girl even after I have left Trollberg, so you also destroyed my work" she yelled. "But now my work will be better, as I have another and more source of power for my experiments."
"What? A new and stronger climate spirit?" he said.
"No, you!" She said as she was leaving the room.
"WHAT?! You don't know what are you doing, you're gonna make Trollberg fell into anarchy! You can't use me for your experiments! You will pay for this! I will…" started saying raven when Victoria left the room.
"I will protect Trollberg! I will protect you, Hilda, until my last drop of blood, I promise!." Raven said as he fainted.
