Dragonstorybooks presents:
The Doll Collector
Prologue: The Doll Collector
It's a cold, stormy night in Warfang, not exactly the night to be out wouldn't you say? A young dragoness by the name of Flare is walking down the street. She's a 17 year old Fire Elemental Dragoness wearing of the Dragon Academy, a rather large university in the center of town, which she attends. Flare is on her way back to her dorm after a night of partying with her friends, when she gets slightly lost on the shady streets.
"Okay, now what do I do" she mutters to herself as she looks around her surroundings.
Not a minute after she ended up in this situation, a horse-drawn carriage pulls up in front of her, the door opens, revealing a tall, dark-scaled dragon in his mid-to-late 40's wearing a black suit and a top hat.
"My dear, its best you get into shelter quickly, you'll die of a cold out here" he said, beckoning her inside the carriage, supposedly for her own health and safety.
"Much obliged sir" Flare tells the mysterious Dragon as she enters the carriage, unaware about the fate that will soon befall her.
Once inside the carriage, Flare gets a bit of a better look at the mysterious figure, revealing that he has red eyes and VERY sharp teeth, yes you can tell that from a distance. That's when the strangest thing happens.
"I've been looking for someone to give this to for a long time" the mysterious figure says as he pulls out a small box and hands it to Flare, who opens it revealing a red silken dress with black and yellow accents, obviously hand sown.
"It's lovely, but I'm really not that kind of girl." Flare said, putting the lid back on the box.
"Oh, but soon you will be" the mysterious figure says as he pulls out a strange item that looks like a powder horn with a skull decal on it.
As he's about to open the powder horn, the view shifts to outside the carriage, where we can hear Flare screaming as a flash of light erupts behind the windows. As the scene ends, the last thing we see is the carriage door opening and a small garment is flung out the door as the carriage pulls away. In a flash of lightning, the garment is revealed to be Flare's Academy Uniform.
Talk about a crazy ending! Note, this will not be anything like my other fanfictions, as the story is completely is original, not franchise characters in the roles of other ones. Note, this story is partially inspired by an episode of Criminal Minds called "The Uncanny Valley". If you enjoy this kind of story more than my other ones, give me a message and I'll post more of these! Enjoy the first episode of The New Spyro and Cynder Chronicles!
