Epilogue: Return to Warfang
As Spyro and Cynder begin their journey back to the surface, Sparx has called Ignitus, saying their kidnapper will be captured very soon.
"Sparx, you'd better be right about this." Ignitus tells the dragonfly who called him here.
"I know Spyro has Faust in custody by now. They'll be coming through that mirror any minute now." Sparx tells him.
Just as soon as Sparx says that, the souls of the 14 previous victims exit the mirror portal and return to their bodies. "What the heck happened?" Flare says. This is the first time she's spoken since the first chapter. "And what the heck am I wearing!?" she says noting the dress she was wearing.
"Don't worry, young lady, we'll explain everything later." Ignitus tells her. As soon as all 14 souls have returned to their bodies, which took about 5 minutes, the mirror portal begins to ripple a bit.
"Here they come now!" Sparx says as he notices the mirror. As soon as Ignitus turns to look, Faust is thrown through the mirror, handcuffed.
"Well, well, well. So you fancy yourself a "doll collector" eh?" Ignitus asks the prisoner as Spyro and Cynder start to walk through the mirror portal.
"Well he's going to have plenty of time to build up his collection, from his cell at Warfang Penitentiary!" Spyro says as he and Cynder walk back to the real world.
"Excellent job you two! Now that this guy is behind bars, I think you've earned a bit of a rest." Ignitus tells Spyro and Cynder as Faust is taken to a waiting car outside the warehouse. "And now, I think it's time I got back to the Academy and started making tomorrow's lesson plan." Ignitus says as he leaves the warehouse.
"So, now what do we do?" Cynder asks as the others leave the warehouse.
"I've still got a pair of tickets to that antique doll show that came to town yesterday. What do you think?" Spyro asks as he pulls out two tickets.
"Please, I think we've had enough of dolls for one day, especially after I nearly became one." Cynder responds.
"Fair enough. Let's get back home." Spyro responds. As they start to leave, Spyro finds a box on one of the shelves. "What's this?" he asks as he opens the box, revealing a slip of paper in it. "After collecting the 15 souls, go to the jewelry shop at the corner of Fifth and Chestnut in Warfang, and hand in this slip of paper." Spyro reads. "Maybe I should just see what this' about."
After Spyro leaves the warehouse, he shortly arrives at the aforementioned jewelry store and turns the paper in to the clerk standing behind the counter. After walking into the back room, the clerk returns with a box containing a diamond engagement ring. "Wait, why was Faust ordering an engagement ring?" Spyro asks himself as he examines the ring. "I'd best hold onto it. Maybe I could use it to propose to Cynder later." He says as he heads back to the Academy, which is only a short run away.
As Spyro runs back to the Academy, we find ourselves in a dark cave, which suddenly fills with dark smoke. Later, the 9-pointed Star, the symbol for the 9 Elements, appears on the floor. Suddenly the smoke takes on a draconian form with dark yellow eyes and reptilian pupils. "That fool thought he could defeat me!? He doesn't know how wrong he was." The figure says. The figure then begins to laugh demonically as the scene fades out.
And that is the end of The Doll Collector! I hope you all enjoyed it! As the description says, this is the first part of the New Spyro Chronicles. After the main quest is completed, it'll just turn into a series of one-shots that describe Spyro and Cynder's lives. In the meantime, keep an eye pealed for Part 2 in the series, "The Dragon and the Blade!" Now about that mysterious figure, remember how I almost spoiled this chapter in the previous one? Well, this is a prime example of Dramatic Irony, as you can probably guess that the figure here is Malefor! What is his plan this time?! Also, the underlined letters, when rearranged, spell the word "Alighieri", which is the last name of Dante, the author of Dante's Inferno! And if you'll also notice, there are nine chapters in this story, one for each circle of Hell as listed in Dante's Inferno! Now, if you want to find out Malefor's plan, tune in to Part 2. Same Time, Same Channel!
