Deep down in the Titan's bones, the sound of King and Kikimora's footsteps echoed across the purplish gray walls. The two had reached a cavern of skeletons and Golden Guard masks.

      "What is this place?" King asked in morbid curiosity.

Kikimora turned to answer with a sullen look, "Where the failures end up."

King steps forward and spotted a crescent-moon-shaped mirror, the old white and gold robe of Emperor Belos hung with it.

Hesitating a bit, King touches the mirror, and out came a black and gray cartoonish shadow known as the Collector. However, his demeanor was calloused and bitter.

      "Leave me alone. I don't associate with fibbers." The Collector whined blowing a raspberry.

Noticing something, the Collector opened his eyes and spotted King's shadow, but can't see King himself.

      "Wait." The Collector said, "I know someone's there, I can feel it. But why can't I see you?"

King's face contorted in confusion, he looked around and noticed the golden coin hanging off his collar was glowing, protecting him from the Collectors sight. He took it off causing the Collector to gasp in shock.

      "You look like that bully who put me in here." The Collector said approaching King.

"No way, are you his little Titan baby?" He asked, "I've always wanted to play with you! But your dumb pops hid you. Hey, do you like hide and seek? I'll hide first!"

      The Collector giddily exclaimed as he hid away.

"Wait, wait!" King exclaimed in desperation, "Mr. Collector, please, we need you to stop this draining spell."

      "Mister?" The Collector let out an exasperated sigh, "You are soooo boring."

King thought for a bit.

"Well, you know what's better than hide and seek?" The small Titan asked, "A game called 'The' uh- 'The Owl House'!"

The collector looked down at King like a curious child, "Ooh, how do you play?"

"Oh, it's so fun, like, the most fun!" King nervously stuttered, "And I can show you if you want. We're gonna need a lot of players, like, a whole island's worth of players but, uh..." king let out a sigh. "aw, shucks."

The Collector came closer looking worried, "what's wrong?" He asked.

"Well, gee," King sighed. "Everyone's gonna perish from this ding-dang draining spell. Guess we can't play that awesome game after all. Man, it was fun though."

King started to walk away from the mirror only to be stopped by the Collector.

"Wait, if you're a Titan, you can let me out. I can stop the spell! And we could play together!" The Collector said in desperation.

King slyly smiled, smiled? King slyly looked at the Collector.

"Golly, you'd do that?" Said King.

"Wait, you're not tricking me into doing your chores like Philip, are you?" The collector asked, suspicious of King's antics.

"I would never!" King lied. "Pinky swear."

King held out his pinky to him, the Collector laughed deviously at his action. Suddenly from above the ground started to rumble violently.

"I'll even let you out right now." King stammered. "W-What do I need to do? D-Do-Do you need my... blood?"

"No, silly!" The Collector chuckled heading towards the mirror and sticking out his pinky. "Just... follow my lead."

A golden light engulfed the room blinding them all.

Up on the bridge with Luz she could be seen running to catch a falling Amity.

"Amity!" Luz screaming catching the cotton candy haired witch.

As the two rag doll along the ground a monstrous Belos lunged at the two only for the entire room to be engulfed in the same golden light as before.

Outside the emperor's castle Eda gasped awake. Sitting up, her body starts to wither and decay as a result of her curse. Eda lurched forward and cried in pain.

Her right hand, still branded with the bard coven sigil, is suddenly grabbed by a tan hand. It was Raine, who had crawled towards her.

"Raine?" Eda asked in surprise and worry.

Raine mustered enough strength to speak, "I promised a special kid... I'd protect you." They weakly said.

Raine then ripped the arm off of Eda causing another golden light to engulf them and all the coven heads surrounding them.
