They soon reach the Lake of Souls. It is seen to be covered with dragons and Darren and Harkat figure out that they should make bombs, filling the 'gelatinous globes' with the Grotesque venom and throwing it at the dragons. They finally get up close to the Lake and Spits says that when Mr. Tiny brought him here, he told him that there was a spell on the Lake forbidding dragons to be closer than eight metres to the Lake unless a living person fell into the Lake. Then Spits quotes on how many people are in the Lake of Souls. He starts talking about how the crew on the Prince o' Pariah, the ship he used to serve, loved his meals, revealing that he is a cannibal. Spits says that he plans to stay by the Lake of Souls, feeding of the people who lived there. He is persistently told not to feed on the souls and is accidentally knocked away from the eight metre zone. A dragon soon breathes fire at him and he is seen burning, running around not able to see, and then falls into the lake, breaking the spell.
Now heading for a valley, in which the Lake of Souls is located, with the panther's teeth, the gelatinous globes, the holy water and the net that's was used to fish for souls. Reaching the peak of the valley, they spot the Lake, but also five dragons around it. Realising, if they insert the liquid into the globes, using the hollow 'K', they can be used as bombs. Rushing towards them, Harkat and Darren, hold off the dragons with the bombs, while Spits carried the net. When they reached the waters edge, Spits told them that within eight feet of the Lake, they'd be safe, unless someone fell in. Now reaching the end of the quest, Abram tells the two what he used to do as a pirate. But they are shocked to learn he fished people out and cooked them for the other pirates. Now crazy, he runs at them with a knife, but strays out the eight feet zone, and is set alight by a dragon. As he thrashes, he falls into the lake, and the spell is lifted. With Harkat now fishing, and Darren holding off the dragons, he pulls out a soul, which turns out to be Kurda Smahlt, the vampire who betrayed his clan. Time is then frozen and Mr Tiny appears, and explains all. When looking for souls for a new Little Person, he discover Kurda, and he said he wanted to help his clan. So he made Harkat, to help discover Kurda's plan to betray the vampires. Also, with both of them existing with same soul, Kurda sacraficed himself to save Harkat.

The Demonata and the saga of Darren Shan share the same universe.Ok I like to think that Darren Shan's two series share the same universe. This would mean that Mr Tiny is a demon possibly a Demon Master. The Wolf Man is a werewolf like in the Demonata and that bit in the last book where there are those monsters in Mr Tiny's place they are demons as well. Or maybe seeing as the whole universe was recreated at the end of the Demonata and in the new universe is the saga of darren shan's universe and Lord Loss and Mr Tiny are one and the same.
