Chapter 5: Their Past

Everything was still too bright to see. Neither Jak nor Sky knew where they going.Actually when they were was more like it. Then, he saw it. He was on the ground and Sky was still unconscious. One thing was bothering Jak: Where was Kiyandra?

" I'm right behind you." she whispered in Jak's thoughts. Jak got up off the ground and looked around for the mysterious girl. Just when he thought she was just a figure of his imagination, a tap on the shoulder woke him up from his daydream. Kiya smiled at him for worrying so much. That smile made him feel so much better on the inside. Kiya knew he was still hiding on the outside. She didn't know why, but maybe Jak would tell Sky and then Kiya would understand.

Jak looked at his surroundings and saw that this was the same place in his dream. It was the same dream where he first met Kiyandra. and the demon was she after. He recalled that the demon, Firea, said that she had brethren and that they wanted to take over Kiya's world. Also, Kiya was the ruler of the Precursors. What happened to the rest of the legend, then? Only time would tell.

" Where are we?" asked Jak. Kiya smiled at his question. Sky started to stir when she heard Kiya's voice. Sky was luckily face-up when she hit the ground. She looked up at the clouds and thought she was in a dream. Then, she turned her head to the side slightly and saw Jak and Kiya talking. She knew now that this wasn't a dream, but she couldn't remember why she wanted to confront her past now. She still had a lot to learn about herself and Jak. Sky let him rescue her and let him take care of her, but she knew nothing about him. She needed to know and now. Kiya spotted Sky staring and smiled past Jak.

Jak turned around and saw a hopingly stunned Sky. She looked like she couldn't be without him, but she needed to know more about him. What were his likes, dislikes, favorite places, people, and that sort of thing. Who exactly was Jak? Since things weren't going her way, she'd get her answers later. She had to confront her past first. Once this was over, Jak and her could start anew. She at smiled her thought and Jak noticed she was smiling at him or so he thought. Instead of smiling back, he frowned and remembered what Lilia had said about the prophecy.

" Kiya, why is Sky so special?" asked Jak. Kiya didn't want Jak to ask her that question. She knew the answer all too well. How could she tell him that Lilia was her mother and that the darkness had destroyed their race? She smiled in her own defeat.

" I cannot tell you that just yet, Jak. Sky will only know. You need to help her understand." Said Kiya. She wasn't shocked about the fact that Sky was started to stare again. After all, she didn't understand herself at all. Kiya could tell that she and Sky would finally meet their fates. Still, she wondered how Sky was Lilia's daughter. Did Lilia have another child without Kiya's father knowing? She sighed at her thoughts about Sky.

" We must move quickly. Time is short and time is after us. Jak, help Sky and let's get going. " She walked off and left Sky and Jak alone. Sky wasn't ready, but she would have to be if her pain was to end. Jak sighed and walks over to Sky. Sky wasn't willing to give up everything to save her sanity just yet, but she knew that she had to do this. She had to finish this now.

" Jak." came out of her mouth in barely in a whisper. She looked up at him.

" I'm sorry that you had to get involved this. Jak, I don't really understand myself and no one else does. Can you help me? Please. I need you to do this. " Jak understood now. Kiya isn't ready to tell Sky something that happened to Precursors. What happened? And why did this happen? Kiya sighed and looked over at the couple-soon-to-be. She smiled to herself and sighed again.

" Are you two ready to go yet? We need to head to the city. We'll find what caused this whole ordeal there. " She nodded to them. Sky sighed sadly. She knew what was going to happen just like Kiya. Jak was going to die and it would be Sky's fault. She couldn't look at Jak. Jak was worried the whole way there. Sky never took her eyes off of the ground. She sighed again. Jak had to know what was wrong. He walked in front of her and stopped. She saw his boots and stopped. She looked up at him.

" Sky, what's wrong? Why aren't you happy? Your past can finally be put to rest." Said Jak. He grabbed her by the shoulders and she looked away.

" Why would I be happy? Someone is going to die and it will be all my fault. Jak, I beg you; go back to your time. Just go. Please do it." She sobbed a little and looked at him. She sighed deeply and kept walking. She actually walked ahead of Kiya and Jak. She just kept walking ever so slowly and then she stopped. She turned and faced them.

" I must do this on my own, even if my powers aren't awakened yet. Kiya, I'll need your help, but Jak. you cannot come with us. You're weak and Firea could harm you severely. Harm is something I wouldn't want to come to you. " She said. Kiya understood and nodded at Jak. He couldn't understand what was going on right now. ' It will all right Jak. I will help Sky and bring her back safely, but if you want to follow us, do it discreetly and Sky will never notice. I will protect you both as best as I can. ' And with that, the two girls left Jak standing alone and struck in awe. He watched them walk away and then he knew what he must do: Stop Firea and help Sky and Kiya become one. History now depended on him and if he was to fail, Sky would never have been neither would the Precursors.
