Epilogue:

"I can't believe you let your mother kick your ass like that." Jested Daxter from across the palace hall. It had been three weeks since we returned back to Haven City and we had spent three days since we came back to Spargus. I looked around the sandy pillars and the romantic craved detailing. This was truly a place for the king. Ignored Daxter and Tess' rambles about the mission I existed the palace and went out the streets.

"Penny for your thoughts?" asked the voice I could not live without.

"I thought I was being followed." I mused turning around to grab Kierra up in bear hug. I spun her around and was delighted when that earned me a short giggle.

"I'm glad you came back, hero." She whispered taking my hands. I sighed.

"I just wish I wasn't empty handed…" By some small miracle I was able to get my mom back to safety with the help of Torn's future son. It must have been the eco that keep her alive that night and when I went to sleep the next day I went to check up on her, she was missing and all her traces had been removed. All was left was her bloody bandages on her bed. Like magic I didn't have a mother and it felt like it was all just a dream. A few days later the organization was officially called off and my mission was declared over. All too quickly I left behind Destiny Island without proper goodbyes, and hurried back to my only comfort. It seemed fitting to visit my old man's resting place after having his journal. To really understand that this king: this seasoned knowledgeable warrior of the sand and street, was my dad. The father who…loved me.

"I'm sure she had reasons." Said Kierra frowning. "And not very good reasons, for leaving out of your life. She must be an idiot or something, Jak."

"Insulting the Queen Of Spargus? You must be tough. My son was right to pick a lady who doesn't hold her tongue." Laughed a voice. I looked up and standing onto a building, right in the sunlight.

Queen Aurora.

She was here?

She grinned and the spoke. "Sorry my son for worrying you so much. I had to wash the dirt off my hands before I could return to you and actually be good enough to be called your mother. That's why I left. I don't know if you want me to stay-and it's your choice-but regardless I have vanished my thug throne and I just want to be in your life any way I can. What do you say Prince Jak-Mar? Will you give an old lady a second chance?"

I could almost hear the pleading in her voice. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I didn't know what having a parent is like. I never knew what it felt like not to be alone. And frankly I didn't have a damn clue on what to do next.

I feel Kierra's elbow in my stomach and I look her way. "She's a good person. Woman's intuition." then she winks and takes a step back.

Before I knew it Light had me sprout wings and I was soaring up to my mother. With all the zeal of the child I always wanted to be I wrapped my arms around her. She sighed and her wings stretched out as well. I could imagine it looked like two angels on the roof top hugging, but in fact it was two cursed people. Two people who had suffered through so much pain. But it was none of these. It was just a mother and her son.

For a second I could sworn I heard Damas contented sigh off in the distance, but when I looked up nothing was on the horizon expect sand and a setting sun.

"So Son How is Sig? Tell me about everything I missed." She gushed holding me away from her. Her eye was puffy and red. I laughed and wiped her eyes and watched her yellow- green hair sway in the brezze.

"Well mom I'll let you ask him. I sure he would love to see you." I tell her as she takes my hand and begins to hover. Aurora lifts me up with her and then nears the edge of the building and I see this was her way of carrying me one last time. Even though I am a bit old for cradling. Even though Instead of arms she uses eco. Dysfunctional is the new thing in family I guess.

"Old Sigmund will shit bricks, when he discoveries I am alive and well!" she laughed taking me down.

Sigmund?! Oh Daxter is going to love this, I thought picturing what else my mom knew.

She places me on the ground carefully and exchanges a look with my girlfriend.

"Charmed." She says pouted.

"Likewise." Says Kirrea giving her pointed meaningful look.

"Ummm…" I say after a minute or two after uncomfortable staring and the girls laugh. "Sorry just some girl things. I'll have to finish giving her the third degree at a more comfortable date." Says mom. "Wouldn't miss it for the world." Say Kirrea looking egger like she had just been challenged.

"Finish? When did you start?" I say confused.

"Well dears, lets get back. I wish to visit my husband's grave. Then through one hell of a party and fuck shit up!" Aurora shouts like a kid and flys off.

I give Kirrea a quick kiss in her leave and whispered. "She's a free soul."

She laughs and tells me that she loves me and in that minute I am the happiest man in the world.

"Hurry up love birds!" The Queen shouts. "And where are my grandchildren?!"

I get a sick feeling suddenly.

"Well um funny thing. Might be sooner than expected, Ms. Spargus." Says Kirrea before sprinting off

"You're kidding…right?!...right?...Ki?" I call out in vain before giving chase after her.
