Chpt.2: The Mirror's Reflection
A few days after Jak 'rescued' Sky, he had with a meeting Krew about Sky. Oddly, Sig was there with a woman. This lady was short and looked about Jak's age. She had long magenta hair put up in a loose ponytail. ' Who is she?' thought Jak.
"Ah! Jak! There you are! So, what did you find on Sky?" asked Krew. Jak replied by tossing the book he found on Sky in the Baron's mansion at Krew.
"What's this? 'Dreaming Soul'? What does this have to with my Sky?" asked an enraged Krew. The pink-haired lady twitched an eyebrow. 'His Sky? How pathetic.' thought the lady.
"Easy. Every bit of information on Sky is in that book. If you read it, you'll find out that it only has her past, likes, dislikes, and her medical history. I've already read it all." replied Jak. Krew was totally clueless. Now, he really didn't know everything about Sky; Jak did.
"Young man-I mean, Jak- where did you find this book?" asked the lady.
" I found it in the Baron's home. Why do you ask and why are you here?" asked Jak.
" I'm glad you asked. I'm Sky's mother, Lilia." replied the lady.
"But, -" Jak was cut off by Lilia. " I know, I know. I don't look old enough to be her mother, but I am. You might not believe me, but you don't know the whole story, now do you?" asked Lilia. " I shall tell you the story. 1000 years ago, in my world, there was a legend about the last-born ruler of the last empire of the Precursors, known as the Zelian Era."
"In this legend, it was said that the last ruler would have a child that could be seen in everyone's dreams. This child was to have angel wings and the ability to give premonitions to the one that would either help her save humanity or help destroy it. Obviously, the Baron found out about the legend and the people who the roles. Lucky, he doesn't know who the premonition gatherer is, but I don't know either." Lilia finished and now there was a deathly silence.
" Well, that's still not the whole story. 11 years ago, the Crimson Guards kidnapped Sky. They said that their orders were to detain my daughter and then, the Baron claimed Sky as his long lost daughter. His plans apparently backfired because he couldn't find the premonition gatherer. So, humanity is still safe. for now. I'm hoping that the gatherer is someone Sky can trust." finished Lilia.
"I think that's all for today. I want to see all of you in 2 days." Krew said. Lilia followed close behind Jak to see if he found Sky.
" Jak. May I come to your quarters?" asked Lilia.
" Yeah, sure." Answered Jak.
So, Jak lead Lilia to his room upstairs in the bar. His room wasn't the greatest place to live, but it was a home. Lying on his bed was a daydreaming Sky. She was completely lost in thought because she didn't hear Jak and Lilia walk in. ' They're here. Go on. You do need to talk to him, after all. Go on.' Sky jumped out of her thoughts and back into reality.
" Oh! Hi, Jak. Who's this? Your girlfriend?" asked Sky.
" No! She's a friend of mine and she's got something to say to you." said Jak.
Jak glared at Lilia. She understood. " Sky, I'm your mother."
Sky's eyes widened. " My mom? But you don't look like her. Wait!" Sky took her locket in hands and opened it up. Lilia fit the description as her mom. Sky ran up hugged her mother.
" Mom!" cried Sky. She buried her head in Lilia's shoulder and cried her eyes out.
" Shhh.Calm down, Sky. I'm back, so don't worry." whispered Lilia. Sky let go and walked back to the bed. She sat down and thought more. ' Jak found mom for me. How did he know about my mom?'
" Jak, how did you find my mom?" asked Sky.
" Well, she found me. She told me your little story and that's how we met." replied Jak.
"Thanks, Jak!" said Sky. She ran up and hugged him. Jak blushed a little.
" You're welcome, Sky."

That was so adorable! Finally, Sky and Jak connect. I'm glad that's over. Please Review. Next Chapter, more of Sky's thoughts and why the Baron wanted Sky as his daughter. I'm still working on the romantic scenes, so give me some credit. I'm not a romance-novel writer! Just kidding! *Giggles*
