Wow, it's been forever since I returned, well after King's Dad wrongly imprisoned me for millions of years, although from what Luz told me, she met him and did feel regret in imprisoning me down there, The Collector said to himself as he was flying back home.

The Collector thought to himself, Wait, if they find about....No that won't happen, and besides they still think all the Titans were wiped out, maybe I keep it that way, for King's sake. I can't risk losing him, Collector said to himself.

The Collector continues to fly towards the stars, and he is travelling through a hidden portal embedded within the stars themselves that only his kind can access. He then appears on the otherside, he takes a look and let's say being imprisoned millions of years in a glass tablet has thrown him as a boy "outside of time" (not in the literal sense).

The Collector's home, otherwise known as "The Citadel", was no longer the same place The Collector recognized.

He checks his surroundings, from what he sees, he depicts this as being a alleyway, from what Luz has told him about her home, The Human Realm or Earth, as known by the inhabitants, humans, or Terrans, pick whatever, but Humans is the common name they are referred to. The Collector sees a way up and climbs his way to the rooftop, he opted not to use his powers cause it may draw unwanted attention.

He then observes his home from a new vantage point, he's been gone for a very long time, the last time he remembers his home, it was very small with a few homes, with the main site being his home, a castle, its residents, himself, his parents and his siblings.

The Collector resented his older siblings, it sucked to be the youngest, but he loathed them for essentially "abandoning" him down in The Boiling Isles and be falsely sealed away by King's Father. Suddenly, a citizen spots The Collector on the rooftop, but since Collector has his hood on, the citizen assumed him to be a criminal.

The Collector made a run for it, and on his tail was some authoritarian figures, The Collector is new to all these developments, and from what he sees with the home he once knew and how all the buildings looked, they seemed posh and elegant, sci fi like, but mystical and medivial at the same time.

But his escape was short lived, with no other choice, he unveils himself, revealing to these figures who he is. There was shock all around, everyone presumed The Collector as dead for millennia (And yes The Collector's race does age alot slower and differently than Humans and Witches).

These figures who reveal themselves as royal guards, quickly take him to the castle to reunite him with his family. Alot of emotions were in play for the collector, from joy, happiness to resentment and anger. The Collector slowly makes it to the door that leads into the royal chambers, part of him was scared, but he had to push through, and he opens the door......only to see his elder siblings on the thrones.

For context, The Collector's siblings are called Zodiac. Cavus, Binary and Spectrum, with Zodiac being the firstborn, followed by Spectrum, Cavus and Binary, all of which are older brothers to The Collector.

It can't be.......Collector is that you, dear sibling, Zodiac replied.

The Collector didn't express anything, his siblings were the last people he wanted to see, but the eldest, Zodiac slowly approached The Collector. Collector was both scared and had enough, but what came next was a shock to him, he was hugged by his sibling, soon the rest joined in, but The Collector sensed something was off.
