Fortunately, they land near the Elf King’s castle. Hilda tries to save time by riding another woff, but the creature shakes her off. The following day, Alfur arrives to take Hilda to the Elf King, whose castle is near the top of a snow covered mountain.

Hilda feels sorry for Jorgen that he apparently guarded the Earth for millennia, never knowing his fellow giants had left. The other giants left the Earth when humans settled into the valleys and got into conflicts with the giants, who frequently accidentally stepped on the humans’ homes. From the book, Hilda learns that the giant she met is named Jorgen, and he was the last giant chosen to guard the Earth from the top of the highest mountain in the north. He gives Hilda a book about Giants of Old, and tells Hilda the giant she saw belongs to a kind that hasn’t been seen in a long period of time. When Hilda asks him about the giant, he simply brushes off her question and leaves, but Hilda is determined to learn more. Upon returning home, Hilda and Johanna are visited by the Wood Man again. Here, Hilda meets Frida and David for the first time, but everything about the school mystifies her and she remains convinced Trolberg is not the place for her. They find a house that’s available, and check out the school. The following day, Johanna and Hilda visit Trolberg. Saddened, the giant returns Hilda to her home and leaves. He hasn’t seen any other giants, and Hilda tells him he’s probably been stood up. When asked why he keeps coming to her house, the giant tells Hilda he is waiting for a friend that was supposed to meet him here. She manages to jump on the giants head and get his attention.

Not wanting to let him escape again, Hilda jumps on a woff and gives chase. She sees the mysterious giant from the previous night again, and grabs her sketchbook, but the giant walks off again.
