Chapter 1: Prologue

---

As a Precursor life is sweet. You're the most powerful being in the universe, can shape worlds or leave them to evolve on their own. Have people think you're a god, when you really aren't or best of all, lay around all day long and not a single thing because who wants to do something when it's a hot sunny day that's just yelling at you to be lazy?

Of course being lazy is what I'm best at. Ask anybody and they'd agree with you. What's not to like about being lazy? You can eat whenever you want, sleep as long as you want and never have to get up; unless, you know, you want to.

But those days are gone. Now I've gotta get help from some old Precursor who lives way north and my best buddy has promised to help me. You're wondering why I need help. I mean, I'm the most awesome Precursor in the city, I'm the hero's best friend, and I'm very handsome, but I'm not a Channeler. Channelers are our hero's, warriors who can use eco; which is the life-force of our homeworld; Gaia. Eco comes in six deferent energies, green for healing, red for strength, yellow for power, blue for speed and electricity, dark for pure power, and light which is a mix of the four basics; red, yellow, blue, and green, combined together; making light the most powerful, but also the most rare.

All my handsomeness and cuteness vanished two months ago when my best friend and I went to a sector of the city, that we live in, that'd been closed off for years because of the disrepair of the buildings and such; but you know friends, especially the stubborn type, once they say they wanna adventure around in the danger zone you kind of want to go with them to ensure they're safety. That's what I did; and now I'm stuck in a form that's considered primitive by most Precursors because the species that I was changed into is a species we created only a few thousand years ago.

Okay, I'll start from the beginning, because that's the only way you'll understand anything that's happened to me and my friends over the last few months. Oh, did I forget to tell you who I am? Well my name is Daxter; a.k.a Orange Lightning and this is my story.
