They've met before, but it's always been in front of Will's family or out on the streets. ( Aww.) It's the climax because it's the first time Will and the Rider come face-to-face to duke it out. Even though this isn't the best plan, Will risks his own neck to save his sister's life. Will knows he's the only one who can save his sis from the bad guy, so he makes a deal with the creep. Once Will's sister is kidnapped by the Rider, he doesn't need any more convincing to take up the fight-which in this case means gathering the Signs. It really puts a dent in his plans to lay low, which is why we're labeling this the complication. When the Rider shows up at Will's house, Will figures out that it doesn't really matter what he wants, he's going to have to battle the Dark whether he likes it or not. Before long, the Dark comes knocking at his door-literally. Will was up for the magic, but he isn't so sure he wants to go head-to-head with the Dark (can't say we blame him). Without learning he has secret magical powers, Will would have nothing to quest for except cake.
This is the exposition phase because it kicks the whole story off. At first the guy's a little confused, but then he learns as much as he can about his new powers and practices using them, figuring he doesn't really have any other choice. Thing is, we're actually not talking about his age-Will has secret powers to defeat the Dark. It's Will's eleventh birthday, but instead of celebrating getting closer to official teenagedom, he finds out that he's actually an Old One.
