Hey everyone, been a while. Decided to write something well different. If you're wondering about Loud Mania, I might allow someone else to write that, just message me if you're interested. As for this story, I've been watching a lot of Hilda and with some assistance from several members of the Hilda Discord server I managed to make this. Enjoy.

Hilda and the Deerfox Curse

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Night

This story begins in a city known as Trollberg, a place filled with many different kinds of people filled with many different personalities as well as a giant wall that usually tends to keep trolls from coming in although that only seems to happen during the night. Within the outskirts of the town, a group of friends are seen entering a forest along with a white looking fox with antlers walking alongside them. Though given that it's dark out, what they're currently doing is uncertain.

"Frida, may I ask as to why are we walking through the woods during the night? I wouldn't want to deal with getting haunted by the Marra again in my sleep." Asked the only male in the group wearing an orange shirt.

"Well, we are currently looking for flowers in order to get the new Flower Patch badge for Sparrow Scouts, and I heard about this mystical purple flower that only comes at night. Which is why I decided to go searching for it." Frida replied

"As long as the trolls are on the other side of town, we're in the clear. Although I am curious as to what we'll find." said the only other female that was in the group.

These three have been friends for a while ever since the blue haired girl named Hilda moved into the city. Things were different when she came around, bringing her two friends into different adventures as well as causing problems along the way. Being an adventurer, she decided to join her friends in searching for different flowers as well as the purple mystical one Frida mentioned to David. Her deerfox Twig came along with the crew since it has been through several events in the past although tonight, the creature would be unaware that it would cause something to happen but that would happen to not something but someone. After walking around the forest for a while, the group eventually came across several different types of flowers. Twig then begins to sniff the plants before smelling something that smelled rather magical then the others, Hilda soon noticed exactly what her furry friend had discovered: the mystical purple flower that Frida mentioned.

"Frida look, Twig found that flower you were looking for. *Sniffs* It smells a bit strange though." explained the blue haired girl before giving it to her friend seeing as how that was what they were looking for.

"It's a Saffrander. I didn't think we'd be able to find it." replying in response.

Eventually, David came by after having to deal with getting a bug out of his hair and after noticing the magic flower the boy was becoming curious.

"That flower looks cool Frida, could I have a look?" he asked as his eyes were becoming attracted by the plant's look.

Frida agrees in response before deciding to lie down and look at the sky along with Twig and Hilda. The stars were looking well within the sky although Twig was more focused as to looking at the full moon that appeared, meanwhile David began looking at the Saffrander and then began to slowly shake the magical flower. However, as the young boy began shaking the plant, purple like dust suddenly came out and was heading towards the deerfox which didn't notice before the dust hit its eyes causing it growl. While struggling to get the dust out of his eyes, Twig began to growl a bit more before accidently opening his mouth and biting Hilda's arm.

"Ow Twig, what was that about!?" the girl asked in annoyance. Unfortunately for her, the deerfox couldn't do anything as its eyes were affected by the dust that came from the flower. However the bite that was left seemed to be pretty painful for the blue haired adventurer.

"Hilda, are you alright? I'm sure Twig didn't mean to leave a bite like that." said Frida who got up and was beginning to worry for the condition her friend was in.

"I'm fine Frida, though I think we should head back. Maybe my mum can take care of this. Come on David" the girl replied back in response.

Eventually, the group began heading back to Trollberg so that Hilda and her pet deerfox could get themselves fixed up. However as they were heading back, the group was rather silent after seeing what just took place. Twig never bit anyone and this was causing Hilda to wonder what exactly could've caused her furry antlered fox friend to leave a mark on her which was throbbing in pain. Luckily though, the group made it back into the city and informed Hilda's mother Johanna what happened while they were in the woods. While her mother was taking care of her daughter, Frida and David were informed to remove the dust that got into Twig's eyes back when they were in the woods.

"Oh my, Twig must've left quite a mark on your arm." explained Hilda's mother as she was taking care of her daughter's arm.

"Don't worry Mum, I'm fine. Though I guess that bite is gonna stay there for a while." she said in response

'Is there anything that we could do to help her?" asked Frida and David who were petting Twig as he was resting on Hilda's lap after managing to remove the dust from Twig's eyes.

"I'm afraid not Frida and David. I'd suggest you two head home, it's getting late you know. I'm certain that your parents wouldn't want to worry about what's going on."

"I see, come on David. We'll see you tomorrow Hilda." replied Frida as she and David began leaving the house with David closing the door on their way out.

"Hilda, I'd suggest getting some sleep. Who know how long that bite will last." explained her mother as she began putting away the medical supplies.

"I guess you're right about that. Good night mum" Hilda said as she began to head towards her room with Twig walking by her as well to which her mother responded with wishing her daughter a good night as well. Upon heading to her room, a tiny little elf was sitting on a little hammock with what seemed to be some papers and a pen in its hands.

"Hi Hilda, I uh..heard about what happened when you and Twig were in the woods.' said the tiny little elf

"Heh, hello Alfur and yeah, Twig sure did leave a mark on the arm. Well I best be getting some sleep for now." the girl responded as she began heading towards her bed.

"I'm quite curious as to what flower they came across, surely that must've caused Twig to bite her in the first place. As long as it wasn't the Saffrander, things should be alright. Oh an night Hil-" Upon saying this, Alfur noticed that Hilda and Twig were already sleeping. It only made sense for him to do the same thing.

As everyone began heading to sleep, people were wondering as to why Twig would've done such a thing, but what they didn't know was that the dust that came with flower, which caused the bite soon began affecting the girl's body. While no changes were happening on the outside, changes were being added on the inside as to what this may cause, no one is sure but as the full moon hovered over the city something rather unexpected may come but that's an event that'll take place within the coming days...
