A/N:I'm sorry that this chapter is short but It explains some stuff that needs explaining.

For two minutes the only sound that could be heard was a distant groaning sound from inside the cave. Then Jak said, "You better give me some answers or I'm not doing anything."

Very well. We will tell you everything although you might not like what you hear.

"Just get on with it."

First you must know what a darkmaker is and how they first came into existence. The darkmakers are beings of strong power that are changed by dark eco in such a way that they no longer desire the things normal people do. They only value destruction and wish to destroy everything.

"Go on."

When we first discovered dark eco many experiments were done to find it's place and purpose in the universe. After many tests we discovered that it's purpose is purely disruptive and it causes chaos where ever it is found. While most of us decided that it was to dangerous to use there was one who continued the experiments. When he lost the support of the rest of his race he became angry and his anger led him to experiment on himself. His name was Zion (Pronounced Zy-on) and he became the first darkmaker.

"The first darkmaker was a precursor?"

Let me finish. We left Zion alone until he started to experiment on other precursors against their will. By the time we started to retaliate it was too late. Zion had already grown too powerful for any precursor to handle so we retreated to this planet and hid. He found us and started to experiment on humans just to taunt us. Zions first human experiment was on Gol and Maia the foolish people who thought that they could master the power of dark eco. That experiment failed. The second was a man named Erol whom you have defeated as well.

"Was there a third?"

Yes. You might already know who the third one is.

"Mar?"

Yes. Mar was the one experiment that almost succeeded. Luckily for everyone that we managed to take him from Zion and erase his memories. We placed him here on the same planet where we hid so we could keep watch over him and his family. There was some side effects of the experiments. One of them was increased tolerance of eco which made Mar able to use eco. Another is that he will not be able to live a normal life. His susceptibility to eco is going to grow and grow until he absorbs dangerous amounts and physically changes beyond our power to bring him back.

Jak thought for a moment. "Will this happen to me as well?"

No Jak. Mar's bloodline is old enough so that you only inherit a portion of the side effects Mar had and most of those are good.

Suddenly Jak fell to the ground. The seal of Mar was glowing bright on Jak's chest. Jak grunted from the pain and the precursor he was talking to must have heard because...

Jak what's happening.

Jak just managed to say the words, "Mar's dying, I have to save him." Then he ran straight towards the cave, blasting a hole through the rocks he had caused to block the entrance.
