Chapter 1: How it all Began
It was a fine day, as it usually was. The soft rays of the sun bathed the white sand with warmth. The ocean was like a large, glittering aquamarine under the bright sun. The breeze carried the scent of the sea, with a hint of honey and fruit, probably from the tropical flowers and trees scattered about the beach; making it look like a tropical oasis. Great, ancient sentinels rested by the coast, their giant frame and shadows towered over the calm sea. Leaning on the rail of one of the sentinels, was a young girl; watching the beautiful scenery before her. Its so peaceful... she thought as she watched the sea gently lap the shore and listened to the soft cry of the gulls. Just as she was about to be mesmerized, a strange sound shattered the tranquil moment. A boat, a steamboat, smoothly gliding over the ocean; aboard it, two boys. "Wha--!" the girl yelped in surprise. She took a step back and shaded her eyes, and then she took out her telescope to get a closer look at the boat and its passengers. After she zoomed in enough to see them clearly, she dropped the telescope. She knew exactly who they were. One of the boys name was Daxter, he was short, obnoxious, and annoyingly talkative. He had red hair and buckteeth. The other boy was the most handsome boy in the village. His name was Jak.
Jak was tall, slender and muscular. he was a mute, but could express his words with his facial expressions and body language. He had deep blue eyes, like sapphires, and light colored hair. No one knew who his parents where. There were rumors that her father, Samos the green sage, had brought him from another place. Another world.
She has had a crush on Jak since she first saw him. The young girl shook her head. As kind and sincere as Jak was, he was also very adventurous. This was probably because his uncle was an explorer. The girl sighed, where the two where headed was beyond her; but wherever it was, it was probably against her father's warnings.
(Jak's Pov)
I couldn't help but look toward the beach next to the village. Then I saw her! The Sages daughter! She was leaning on the rail of one of the sentinels that where located on the far side of the beach. I presumed she was daydreaming because she looked very dazzled by something. She had emerald green eyes, dark blue hair with highlights of green. I'm guessing she got that from her dad. She had a tropical flower of some kind behind her ear, making her look very exotic.
Today Daxter and I are on another one of our adventures. We've explored just about everything, from the village we live in to Sentential Beach to parts of the Forbidden Jungle. The one place we have yet to explore is, Misty Island. However, Samos, the green Sage, had forbidden us to ever go there. So while he was asleep, Daxter and I began to sneak off to explore it. As we did so, we 'borrowed' the fisherman's boat. Daxter called it borrowing, but I still though it was stealing. As we sail toward the mysterious island, I couldn't help but begin to think about that girl again. What is her name again? Daxter is always talking about her. I wanted to date her, but I was so shy and kinda scared she'd turn me down. I can't remember how long I've been in love with her. Maybe I've loved her since I first met her. That would've been twelve years ago, I think.
I guess I started daydreaming or something because I saw a hand waving in my face. "Jak? Jak! JAK!" it was my best friend since childhood, Daxter. "Earth ta Jak! c'mon man! Snap outta it! whaddya leering at anywa--" he then saw her too. "Ohhhhh. Old Log-In-The-Head's daughter eh? hehhee. Keep dream'n pretty boy, I hear old Log in the Nog wont let ANYONE near her, especially without his approval. and I doubt, of all people, he'd let US near her."
I turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Whaaaat? Its true! I'm just tell'n ya so you don't get all close an' stuff, then when he comes along and gets all pissed off with ya."
I just sighed and shook my head.
"But ya know, I'm sure I could sweep her off of her feet with my own charming looks" he said running his hand through his flaming hair and fluttered his eyes. I chuckled then broke into laughter, he joined in too.
"Aahh!" came a scream, which knocked me out of my thoughts, back to reality. Scanning the boats deck, I noticed Daxter was missing. Looking towards the edge of the boat I saw a reddish orange head pop out of the water. Rolling my eyes, I lent a hand to my friend and pulled him back into the boat and began thinking to myself again.
The Silver Badger: I think I'll stop here.
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: NO!
The Silver Badger: okay, okay! I'll keep going! I'll keep going! Geez
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: That's what I thought. Owwee (rubs head)
(normal POV)
The sage's daughter decided to go home. Her father probably needed her to run some errands for him anyway. She stole one more glance at the ocean then headed toward the village. When she arrived, she just stopped to look around. Her home village was called Sandover village. It was small, but lively. It had the usual farmer, fisherman, mayor( he was rather eccentric) and a sage, her father. But it also had this weird lady who was obsessed with birds, a sculptor who couldn't t live if he ever lost his pet muse, and an explorer who had artifacts of all kinds. The explorer was also Jak's uncle. She continued walking home. For some weird reason she thought about her dad. He was short, and had a terrible temper. But he was a nice guy underneath it all. He was a green sage, one who studies green eco and thinks up new ways to use it other than healing. Her dad could talk to plants of all kinds. It scared her sometimes. She guessed she was lucky. Normally, sages don't have children. Too much to do or something like that. Plus, both of her parents were pure sages. She never really knew her mother, but her father told her that her mother was a sage. When she was little she remembered overhearing her mother talking to another sagess. What was that sagess's name again? Started with an M. all she remembers is that the sagess had a twin brother and she had red eyes. She also remembered hearing that the sagess lost something or someone. She was crying and very upset, the girl's mother was trying to comfort her. She was also talking about someone threatening her and her brother. It was very odd. The girl shook her head to get the thoughts out. She didn't like thinking about her mother. It made her sad to think of her, and how she suddenly died. The girl arrived t her home. It was a hut, like the others only bigger. The bottom floor was her room and garage, and the upper room was her father's room and lab.
She went upstairs to see if her dad needed anything. The old sage was meditating, as usual. "Jak! Is that you?"
The girl sighed. "No daddy. It's me."
The sage opened his eyes, "O! Keira, its you! I thought it was that annoying little hooligan, Daxter sneaking up on me."
Keira smiled. "Nope. It's just me. Do you need anything? I'm free for a few minutes."
The old sage thought this over "No. I don't need anything right now,"Keira turned to leave, "Except one thing. Have you seen Jak?"
He'll go berserk! She thought. "Err, uh no daddy" she lied. She put on her best lying-through-her-teeth-to-her-easily-angered-father.
The sage looked at her from behind his overly large spectacles. "I see. Well, if you see them, tell them I want to speak with them."
"Yes daddy." she replied
The sage nodded to her, dismissing her. Keira headed downstairs to her room. There, she found her newest and most favorite project: the A-Grav zoomer. She was almost done with it. She couldn't wait to put it to use. As she began to work on it she began to think about Jak. He was so strong; he could help her with this project. But then it dawned on her and Jak could be in big trouble right now! She then went from thinking about Jak to worrying about him. That was until she heard the familiar sound of a steamboat returning
(Jak's POV)
I was deep in thought in whether Samos would let me take his daughter on a date, when a loud, obnoxious voice sliced through my thought.
"LAND HO!" Daxter yelled.
I wish he hadn't done that, for my ears were now ringing. I got up and walked onto the land. It was worse than my uncle described. Trees, charcoal colored and long withered. The ground looked like hardened soot. Dragon skeletons rested on cliffs. The water was a dull green, like a swamp. The sky was a ghastly gray with the haunting mist and black looming clouds. It could send shivers through anyone's spine. I shuddered at the sight of the harsh, lifeless land. A colorless world. I shuddered again.
"Psst! Jak! I don't think we should be here! Old Green Stuff told us not to come here!" Daxter whispered
I gave him the look of since when did you listen to him? He just glared at me. But I could see his fear. I knew Dax was a coward to the bone. I started to explore a bit but then I heard a strange sound. I looked to where the sound was coming from. I then began to climb the rocks toward the sound when I got to the top, what I saw, was far from what I expected.
The Silver Badger: NOW I'm going to stop.
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: NOOOOO!
The Silver Badger: But GMB! It's the end of the chapter! I have to stop! I can't go on to the second chapter yet!
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: Fine and nice cliffhanger (rubs head)
The Silver Badger: (smiles evilly) Why thank you GMB& err, how's you're head?
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: SHUT UP! Anyway, okay peoples. Its time for you to review.
The Silver Badger: oh please do! And be honest. Was it good or bad?
