When both Luz and Hunter turned back they saw a little kid dressed in some cosmic themed clothes, the ones you get from a Spirit Halloween, and looked like he had face paint on. "Who are you and how did you get in here!?" exclaimed Hunter. Luz on the other hand, completely ignored his questions and without thinking she ran toward the child as she thought he was adorable. "Luz! Don't go near him." shouted Hunter. At this point the child was having trouble breathing and couldn't let go. "Yeah! Listen to him and get off me!" screamed the kid. Finally, peace was restored in the room, but Hunter was still questioning the kid. "What do you want?" continued Hunter. "Okay, Okay I owe you both a severe explanation." explained the kid. "Let's hear it." replied Hunter. "Let's go for a ride and I'll explain on the way, '' announced the visitor. "That sounds like a plan, I'm in '' agrees Luz. "Luz are you going to trust him that quickly, plus how are we going to leave undetected by any of the guards." continued Hunter. "You ask too many questions, just trust me I know what I am doing." with that the mysterious kid snapped his fingers and the room became empty.

When Luz opened her eyes she felt like she just woke up from bed. The sun was setting in the Boiling Isles and she was seeing an array of orange, red and yellow, this wasn't her bedroom, but the sky. "Now, let me tell both of you a story, about the origins of the Boiling Isles and myself." announced the child. "Who am I, you wonder? My name is The Collector and my siblings are known as The Archivists, bunch of losers, but anyway! We are immortal beings that roam the galaxies visiting other planets. We are like nomads traveling through the night sky collecting and preserving life from foreign worlds we find amusing, well that's how The Archivists describe it. Now how does this relate with the origin of Boiling Isles? I'll tell you. This place was just like any other planet me and my siblings visited, but something was different. The Archivists could sense something was wrong, so they set me to investigate, keep in mind this was thousands of years ago when titans ruled these mystic lands. I flew down to this very place and to be honest, it was wonderful. The titans were kind and taught me all about their lives. I was having so much fun but, amidst all of it, I realized something, I wasn't able to use any of my powers when any titan was nearby. I thought nothing of it so I told my siblings thinking it was just a small detail. That was when it all went downhill. A moment's realization later The Archivists realized how big of a threat the Titans really were. Soon one by one they started disappearing right in front of me. I knew I had to do something, so I rushed to one of the last reaiming Titans and explained what was happening. He told me that no matter what, The Archivists would find him sooner or later, but he had one favor. He wanted me to hide and keep his only son safe from The Archivists. I don't know how to say this but his son is your precious little 'demon king" Luz." dramatically ended The Collector.
