Ch 3 The New Found Relationship
Jak had taken Ashelin all over the city of Sparagus. For a city in the desert, it wasn't half bad. It was the only haven in the desert. They walked down a path of homes that took them to the part of the city that is kinda a town square. There is a long stairway that leads to the arena on the far end of the square, and there is the street that leads to the other part of town across from the stairs.
"It's a nice place here," commented Ashelin.
"Yeah, I know. The people here did a really good job at building this city," agreed Jak, looking around.
Ashelin smiled. "It is just so different that Haven City. It is amazing."
"That's what I thought at first. The two cities are almost nothing alike," nodded Jak.
A nod of agreement came from Ashelin. It was true the city was different than Haven City.
They walked down that road to see the entrance carved out of the stonewall that leads to the palace. Jak and Ashelin kept walking to get to the other part of town. That part of town had a market in the middle of the area. It also was the past of town that looked over the vast stretching sea.
The sun was beginning to set over the water. It made a great display in the sky that was more than any words could describe. Jak stopped to stare at it. For the first time in a long time he could just simply enjoy the beauty of life.
"Something wrong, Jak?" asked Ashelin, taking in a strange look plastered on Jak's face.
Jak shook his head and faced Ashelin. "Huh? Oh, no. I guess that the dark eco has finally been equaled out of control."
Now it was Ashelin's turn to look puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"After getting kicked out, Dax and I found this temple. Well, to make a long story short, this Precursor statue gave me white eco. The power of light regeneration as he called it. Ever since then I feel…I don't sort of calmer. Almost like everything is finally balanced in me," explained Jak.
"It's too bad the city couldn't see that side of you," smiled Ashelin, putting her hand on Jak's shoulder when he turned around again.
Jak laughed. "They would probably still call me a monster."
"You're not a monster, Jak. They just don't understand you, that's all," assured Ashelin.
"Yeah." Jak moved his hand to cover Ashelin's hand. They both remained quiet as they stared at the fading sun.
After a few more minutes passed before Ashelin spoke. "Thanks, Jak."
Jak turned to look at her again. "For what?"
"For getting rid of my father," replied Ashelin.
A faint blush came over Jak's face. He turned around again and nervously looked up at Ashelin. "Uh, Ashelin?"
"Yeah, Jak?" askedAshelin trying to decipher what the emotions were building up behind Jak's eyes.
Before either of them knew it, Jak leaned forward and kissed Ashelin. It surprised Ashelin. She didn't know what to do, but then she gave in to the passion of Jak's kiss and kissed him back.
Quickly Jak pulled back. His cheeks were beginning to turn red as he looked at the ground. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me."
A smiled formed on Ashelin's face. "Whatever it was, I liked it a lot."
Jak's head snapped up. He looked into Ashelin's eyes before her lips covered his own.
