This is the last chapter for this story. Like my fanfic Multifaceted, this fanfic and the ones coming up in my Epic Struggles series will have After Credit Epilogues. These will be important for the next stories in the series. So, keep your eyes open for them. :)

Parker sat on the top step of his house, playing with the black cat. The cat mewed and batted at the dragonoid's black clawed fingertip. He chuckled, delighted the cat was enjoying himself. He looked up as a long shadow approached, alongside another shadow that grew in height.

"Parker Dooley," a masculine voice got the dragonoid's attention. Parker looked up, witnessing a man with short black hair and donned in purple robes. Beside him was brown-haired, blue-eyed hobbit with a fair face and short pointy ears. Wait a second! Didn't he know these two? "You have been chosen."

"You might want to tell me who you are," Parker chimed in, confused.

"Don't worry, Parker. Allanon means well." The hobbit said with a smile.

Parker grunted. "I know that, Frodo. I just wonder what this man, this Druid, is doing here." He asked Allanon, curtly, "Didn't the Druids go into exile? The last time I recall seeing a Druid, there was a line of anamorphic Dalmatians wandering the worlds in search of something greater."

Allanon smirked. "That line faded away, as did its secrets. Whether anyone's seen their descendants is unknown… for now."

"That's what I thought." The red dragonoid shook his head. "If you don't know where they are, then I suggest we go and look for them," he asked, sharply, "or is that not your plan, Allanon, Great Druid of the Four Lands?"

"What if I told you that finding Janus' line would mean the world to me?" The Druid asked, curious.

"I should have known this would happen," Parker said, curtly. "What do you want?"

"I'm putting together a team of extraordinary people and creatures," Allanon said with candor. Parker looked at Frodo in suspicion.

"I'm listening," Parker said, unsure where this was heading.

"Don't worry about him," Frodo said in encouragement. "He's been this way, ever since we met in the Shire."

"Ah! I see." Parker said, slightly impressed. He looked at Allanon in curiosity. "But still, what has this got to do with me?"

"I'll explain the details soon." Allanon tilted his head, smiling. "Be prepared to have your world spun around."

We're done with this story, in the Epic Struggles series. :)

Thanks go to the readers who read, reviewed, favorited and followed this fanfic: Saphirabrightscale. Thanks, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedules to read this story. It is much appreciated. :)

I'll be honest, Parker hasn't had a story to himself since I last worked on his origin series, which was between 2008 and 2010. Here's hoping my Origin Series will refine his origin story better. :) This is his first stand-alone story since the events of the Origin Series.

Frodo's second story of my Epic Struggles series is coming up. The title is pending as of right now. All I know is that Parker will be back and a new canon character will make her appearance. :)

Thanks for reading. :) I'll see everyone in the next story. Bye! :)
