THEMAKEROFLIGHT: greeting, welcome, I got some more reviews to say thanks for,

envious lust: thanks envy, I update nearly every day usually, but I staved my arm at an ice-rink so my typing speed has been slowed down, but I'm getting along.

I really appreciate the reviews but would greatly hope for more, I've had over 400 hits but only 4 reviews, please tell me what you think of the story, even flames would be welcome, you wouldn't like it if only one person reviewed for every hundred that read the story would you?

CHAPTER ELEVEN: COLD FEET

Jak stormed about the room in full on dark-power mode, he didn't often get into a rage like this, but when he did not even Keira was brave or dtupid enough to go near him, unlucky for her that she was the one he was raging about, it was supposed to be their wedding day tomorrow, it had been planned ahead as the same day Ashelin and Torn got married, and Keira was adamant that it would go ahead. Jak argued that the ship didn't have the facilities for weddings, or a priest, or anything else for that matter, there had been a fight and...well, it was as if they were already married.

Jak was in the middle of turning a very expensive antique chair inro very expensive antique toothpicks when some poor unwitting person decided to knock on the door. Jak wrestled control over his body before his dark side devoured whoever it was, and yanked open the door to reveal Seem, Jak found this strange. He hadn't seen her name on the passenger roster, and this was a Haven ship, she should have been on one of the Spargus freighters.

"Greeting hero," she courtsied and made the gesture of peace. "Please do not be alarmed by my appearence, I was asked to come by your young wife-to-be, I have been informed of the situation between the two of you, and have come to put it right."

"So you've been sent to try and win me over, well it's not gonna work, look, I don't mean to be rude...but, there's another reason I don't want to marry Keira before the battle, a woman younger than eighteen and un-married cannot take part in any major battle without the permission on her father or guardian, up till now Samos has been giving her that permission. But if she marries me then I can give her that right in Samos' absensce, and I just know that she'll persuae me somehow."

"I understand." Seem looked for something to say to him, but words got in the way, she put her hand on his temple and initiated the ancient rite, her mind turning to the other place, and taking his with it. I cannot tell you what either of them saw there, for neither told, but after coming out of the trance Jak understood the urgency to wed, and gave in at last.

It was the next day. The mess hall hadbeen turned into the place where it would all happen, the crates had been upended to make pews, and all the boxes piled up at the front to make a huge platform, Jak was already up the front in what Daxter kapt calling a "penguin suit." He could just see out of the corner of his eye Tess blowing her nose on Daxter's shirt, the man himself looking dazed after the bachelor party. The organ music, played by Shorine, started up and the congregaton turned to gain a glance at the loverly bride, they weren't dissapointed. She looked stunning, Jak thought he hadn't seen her all dolled up since he caught her putting on makeup in Sandover when the two of them were going on an expidition into the forbidden jungle.

Keira just stared at the platform in front of her, she couldn't beleive it was finally happening, she felt her whole life had been leading up to this moment, in her mind she thought that her father would be proud, and she turned to look at the empty space beside her, her daddy should have been there to see her.

Before she knew it she was at the altar, Semm taking up position on the other side, as a precursor monk Seem was fully qualified to bond and wed couples, and was no stranger to the hastily thrown together ceremony.

"Dearly beloved." She started, but her croaky voice wasn't up to the strain of having to carry throughout the huge hall, so Daxter fetched her a microphone and she started again. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the bonding of King Jak Mar, and Keira Hagai, if antone her knows of any lawful reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Jak had to grab Daxter by the neck to stop him releasing a fake tumbleweed. "Good, then we shall begin, do you, King Jak Mar of Haven city, defeater of the metal heads, hero of the precursors, and savior of us all, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife. Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health, so long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Said Jak smiling.

"And do you Keira Hagai, daughter of the green eco sage, lady of Haven and mechanic extraordinaire, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband. Do you promise to..." But the monk was cut off by Keira's quick response.

"I most certainly do."

"Uuuhhh, well then I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."

Jak did heartily, tipping his love as he did so, still sruck in his cast iron embrace Keira lobbed the bouquet in no particular direction, and by some curse it landed in Karena's lap, the young woman looked down at the flowers in her hand. A single tear ran down her cheek, she summoned her dark eco energy into her hands, making the flower wilt and die. The sage crushed the petals to her chest, and dissappeared into the crowd.

THEMAKEROFLIGHT: and this is about the time that I regret telling you lot the Maealans still alive, that scene would have been much sadder if you all thought he was dead, ah well, did you enjoy it, cos I certainly enjoyed writing it, hope you all review, bye.
