Remorse Of An Adventurer

Epilogue: Dear Diary,

Hey

I know it's been a few days since we talked. Sorry. Honestly, I never thought I'd be the type to write in a diary, so I think I deserve some slack on that front. But I really do need this. Need to write everything that's happened down, so I'll believe it really happened when I look back. It took us so long to explain how I got back to Trolberg. It was a TOTAL nightmare (maybe I shouldn't call it that, because it really was one). I think everyone has been starting to settle into a new normal at least.

Alfur and Raven have been a bit more open about whatever it is they are doing together, but it seems like they are happy and I guess that's what matters.

David hangs out with the librarian a lot now. Apparently he wants to learn magic, but it sounds like he isn't having much luck. As a whole he's been trying to be busy, or at least seem busy.

Hilda has been drawing a lot since she woke up. She even went up on Raven to draw the city from above. She showed me a few drawings. One that caught my eye was a picture of her shadow, with a bright red scouts sash, and nine badges. She said she saw it in a dream. Next to it she had a black and white copy of the picture we took when we met the Vittra, she was getting ready to decorate a border around it, something to do with a new beginning.

I did something today that sort of surprised me. Hilda told me I was learning guitar from the Woodman in her dream, so I decided it might be an adventure. I went for it. He's teaching me some chords tonight.

We're definitely the weird kids at school now. There was nothing to do about it, but we're together again, the three of us. Hilda calls us her family now, and I really want to live up to that for her.

Sorry to cut it short today, but I'll be back to write again; apparently David found some new information about Alps at the library...

First- I got a lot of complaints about the dream chapters, I've since updated chapters 7 and 8 to denote when they are in dream sequences (like I formatted chapter 9).

Some questions:

Q: MJ (Fanfiction) on Chapter 8: It was probably intentional on your part, but I found the last two chapters very confusing. I suppose that was the point since it's taking place in a dream, but I couldn't figure out when or if there were moments taking place in the real world.

A: I got a lot of criticism on the dream chapters, I tried to separate reality and dream more in the last chapter, but if I could do this again I'd probably redo chapters 7 and 8. (I got a few other general complaints about these two chapters and I'm leaving them out)

Q: vincentberkan (fanfiction) on chapter 7: Who's POV is it? David or Frida's?

A: Same as above, I did a bad job differentiating what was part of Frida's dream (where she was narrating) and the cuts to the real world (where david was narrating).

Q: Guest on Chapter 5: Oh my, where will they end up now? It could be anywhere in the world. Nice take on the Hilda series. But why didn't Johanna come back as a ghost?

A: Hilda was trying to bring her back to life, not raise her as a ghost.

Q: Guest on Chapter 9: Question. Is Hilda officially into David's family?

A: Yes.

Q: eecobeo on Chapter 9: Her mother could actually come to her and her dream or could be like Mufasa and Simba in The Lion King and since David's kind of a wizard you can maybe make a little bit of it happen

A: See you in Remorse of an Adventurer II :)

Thank you all for reading. Yes, there will be a sequel, but not right away. For now, check out my other Hilda story: Shadow Over Trolberg, and keep an eye out for Into The Hildaverse, coming soon.
