He also assures her that Baba’s mom means no harm, since she considers Hilda her daughter now. He tells Hilda that there is a way she can become human again, which he will show her if she helps him. Inside she finds a gigantic troll with no eyes, who calls himself Trundle. Baba’s mom comes for her, but Hilda manages to elude her, and in doing so finds a huge cave with dozens of bells hanging from the ceiling of the entrance. When the sun sets she awakens, and since she’s a troll now the ringing of the bell hurts her. He tells Johanna that there are more trolls than ever in the area, and insists she goes back to Trolberg. They search all day till it’s almost sunset, when they are found by Erik Ahlberg, the leader of the Safety Patrol. Johanna, Baba and Tontu thus set out for the wilderness outside Trolberg to try and find Hilda. When Tontu sees Baba, he concludes they are dealing with a change. In Trolberg, Johanna has great trouble controlling Baba. Hilda however panics and runs out of the cave, but since it’s day the sunlight instantly petrifies her. Baba’s mom explains to Hilda that she wanted a better life for her daughter, and that she thought Hilda would like being a troll more. Picking up where the previous story left of, Hilda is now a troll child living in a cave in the Stone Forest, while Baba is a human child living with Johanna.
