Nils Holgersson
The Star Stone
S1 • E6
When a tiny magical meteorite falls into the forest, both Nils's elf friend Lia and the black elf sense it and realize it's a star stone, which can enhance the finder's elf power enormously, so race for it. Nils is first on Martin, but the black elf manages to capture them and has them guarded in a cage by his raven. To escape, Nils must convince the 'hench-beast' he's mistreated by his ingrate master, hence owes him no loyalty, demonstrating his own true friendship with Martin.
