Chapter 6: Getting the 15th Soul
As Spyro rushes forward with Determination to capture Faust, we arrive ever closer to the center of Hell, where Malefor was locked away after his defeat.
"Almost there, soon I will be Immortal!" Faust tells Cynder, not only to cause her to lose hope, but to boost his own spirit.
"You can't seriously go through with this! Malefor will betray you in the end!" Cynder tells her captor, hoping to talk a little bit of sense into him.
"Okay, I have had enough of your complaining." Faust tells Cynder as he pulls out the powder horn he used to drain his previous 14 victims of their souls.
"You wouldn't dare!" Cynder cries out as Faust opens the front of the powder horn.
"Watch me." He says as the powder horn drains Cynder's soul right out of her. "I was intending to give your soul to Lord Malefor personally. But this will have to do." He tells himself as he drops Cynder's body behind him as he advances on deeper into Hell. "Well, that'll make the journey go a lot faster" he says from a distance.
Shortly after this, Spyro runs onto the scene, only to find Cynder in the catatonic state Faust left her in. Upon seeing Cynder in this seemingly peaceful, trance-like state, he slowly begins to break down in tears, for he at this moment thinks he has failed her, failed to rescue her when she needed him the most. "This can't be happening!" he thinks to himself, considering he can't very well speak and be understood when he's crying.
After a few seconds of tearing up, Spyro picks himself up. He has the look of determination and sheer rage in his eyes. "Okay, that's it! Nobody steals the soul of the Dragoness I love and gets away with it!
After noting his rage to no-one, Spyro picks up the catatonic Cynder and rests her on his back. "I may have failed to rescue you, Cynder, but I will stop Faust before he releases Malefor." He tells his catatonic love as he continues on his way to the center of Hell.
(Starts crying) What a touching scene. I told myself I would cry. Anyways, you may have notices some random letters in the titles of my chapters being bolded and underlined. Keep mind of those letters. Write them down or something, as they are part of a puzzle to discover my biggest hidden inspiration. Also, sorry for this chapter being so short and for the whole story being the same way. But in my defense, I am not used to writing a Fanfiction in this style; I'm more used to script writing. And trust me, some of my stories written that way were at one point 112 pages long. Believe me. Anyways, the story of The Doll Collector is coming to an end, and to see how the final battle goes down, tune in next chapter. Same Time, Same Channel!
