The Rift Ring and the Meeting
It was a peaceful day at Sandover Village. But it was way too quiet. More quiet than usual. So Jak's uncle came out of his small round house to check it out. He looked around everywhere. In Jak and Daxter's home, the mayor's home, and even in Samos' hut. "Hmmph, nothing" Jak's uncle told himself. The man had a name, but not everyone knew what his name was. He proceeded down the small bridge back to the grassy ground. When he was about to leave the hut, he saw Keira's room. Keira was the sage's daughter. He saw a strange machine parked on a weird-looking platform. "This girl's a genius" he told himself. But what most caught his attention was a scroll of paper with drawings of a strange artifact. He bent down to pick it up and saw what it was. "A Rift Gate!" Jak's uncle shockingly yelled. He couldn't believe what he read under the drawings of the machine. "Today Jak, Daxter, daddy, and I are going to test the machine with the Rift Ring; I hope we are successful in using it wisely" he read aloud. Shocked at these letters, Jak's uncle ran towards the end of Sandover Village. There it was, a huge Rift Ring stood right in front of him. "Oh no!" the man began, "They went through the Rift Gate!" He ran towards Geyser Rock to find a flut-flut. He pet the flut-flut on its head and said "Ok Greg, I want you to let the sages know that I'm making a meeting here at Sandover tomorrow night." The now named flut-flut nodded and ran quickly into the distance. The man planned on making a meeting so they could discuss what has just happened and where they were. But what most interested Jak's uncle was to know which were the consequences of his nephew and company going through the Rift Gate.
The next day at sunset, Jak's uncle patiently waited for the sages to arrive. After an hour or so, he saw the flut-flut and the Blue Eco sage approaching. "Hello Mar" the sage greeted. "How are you Viktor?" the now named man welcomed. "I'm fine as always" Viktor the sage answered. Viktor pet the flut-flut and entered Mar's house. Both men sat down on armchairs and got straight to the point. "What's the point of this meeting?" Viktor asked Mar. Mar inhaled a bit of smoke from his pipe and replied "I'll tell you when the other sages get here." The two other sages got there in no time. After greeting their old friend Mar, the sages went inside his house. Soon, Mar led them to the Rift Ring. They were all amazed. Viktor the Blue Eco sage, Rhombus the Red Eco sage, and Grog the Yellow Eco sage were left speechless. "What...what is it?" Rhombus managed to ask. "Is it some sort of huge warp gate?" Grog asked. "Let me explain gentlemen" Mar stated. "Follow me" Mar pleaded. The three sages followed their old friend to Keira's room. Mar picked up the paper and handed it to Grog. Grog's eyes widened as he read and saw the drawings. "Impossible..." the Yellow Eco sage mumbled. Grog barely managed to hand Viktor the paper in his current state of shock. Viktor was in a state similar to Grog's after giving the paper to Rhombus. Rhombus saw the drawings of the Rift Ring and then read the writings. He was so shocked that he dropped the paper on the floor. "Now you see what that huge artifact is" Mar explained. "But...how?" Viktor questioned in a puzzled tone. "I don't know where exactly Samos and my nephew are; but I know they went through the Rift" Mar guessed. "I agree with you Mar" Grog admitted. "Me too" Viktor added. "And me" Rhombus finished.
After that, the sages and Mar walked back to Mar's home. They sat around a round table on wooden chairs. "Now" Mar declared, "let's begin to theorize what the consequences of this travel may be." "Perhaps something appeared when the Rift Ring was activated" Rhombus thought aloud. "I believe that too" Mar agreed. "Maybe the Rift took them to another dimension" Viktor theorized. "Or another timeline" Grog suggested. "Sweet Precursors..." Mar said in shock. "What is it?" Viktor asked. "That's it!" Mar exclaimed. "What?" Viktor repeated. "I know where they are!" Mar declared. "How?" Grog asked him in confusion. "I must admit something gentlemen" Mar began. "Then do it" Rhombus slightly ordered. "I...I'm from the future" Mar admitted. The sages slightly chuckled. "What!?" Grog asked, sounding even more confused. "Listen, I built a city in the future to protect the land from creatures called Metal Heads" Mar continued. The room was silent as the sages listened in shock. "I used the ancient Rift Ring to go back in time and hide from the Metal Head leader" Mar kept going. As Mar spoke, the sages opened their eyes and mouths wide as they heard their old friend's words. "And I hid the last Precursor egg in a fake tomb I built" Mar finished. "So...you think your nephew, Samos, and the others are in the future?" Viktor asked. Mar nodded in reply. "I also have something to ask you gentlemen" Mar stated. "Yes?" Rhombus asked. "I need you to stay in Sandover for the night because tomorrow we're going to continue this investigation" Mar pleaded.
"Fine" all the sages answered at once. "Two can sleep here, and I'll ask the mayor if he can let one of you in his house" Mar informed them. "I'm going to the mayor's house, decide who'll sleep where while I'm gone" Mar ordered. "Ok" Grog assured. Mar left towards the mayor's house which wasn't very far away from his. When he came back, he informed the sages that the mayor had agreed to let one of them sleep in his house. "So who's sleeping where?" Mar asked them. "Rhombus and Grog are sleeping here and I'll sleep at the mayor's house" Viktor told him. "Ok then," Mar agreed, "I already know where we're going tomorrow." And with that final statement, Mar and the sages ate dinner and soon afterwards went to bed. They were unaware of what they would discover the next day...
