The day after had been the worst, he had no time to mourn or even feel. His father was dead. Even if he had not been there for him, he still missed him. It had been three days, that's all it took to save the world. Now he was standing in Spargus waiting for the memorial to start.
People were talking about him, how he had been such a friendly and kind man in life. Most spoke with a certain amount of pride in their voices. These people had lost a man that they cherished as a leader, a brother, and advisor, and to a degree a Father. They knew this man; they knew him when he had been kicked out of the city. They had known what made him laugh, cry, and get ticked off. They knew him longer than his own son.
The stories that they told were difficult to believe, the differences standing out, even if the person had been there and taken part in the battle themselves. But this wasn't a funeral. They were acting like it was a party, Men drinking themselves under the table and children running around screaming. Teenagers laid cactus flowers on the table that held a picture of him, and the monks were praying. Yet despite the cherry attitude of the city he felt sickened, his father had died in his arms, and there had been nothing he could do about it. If he had been stronger…he pulled himself out of his mind. It wasn't good to dwell on such thoughts.
A soft noise behind him alerted him that someone wanted a word. This was becoming constant today, people had found out that he was Mar, Damas's son. He turned, a girl that was a few years older than him stood there.
"Your Father was a great man, you should be proud."
"…"
Daxter was around here somewhere, more than likely getting drunk, so he was being his usual self. No need to be someone he wasn't.
"I see. You don't want to talk about it. Its fine, I understand."
He was suddenly angry, what did she know? She hadn't had him die in her arms! He was beginning to see red twitching on the edges of his vision and could feel the electric Dark Eco zipping across his flesh. Yet the girl didn't even twitch.
"It's going to take more than that to scare me, I saw you fight in the arena. He was so happy when he found you; I think he knew all along."
A sad look flashed behind her eyes, but was gone before he could properly address it.
"Even if he's gone, you know that he's still with you. Because you made a bond with him, he will live for as long as you live. And when you die you'll live on through the bonds that you've gathered throughout your life. Even if you can't talk to him, he will always care about you. He died trying to save you; He was doing what a father does best. You're lucky that he cared that deeply about you, I don't think that you know what he was truly like before you came along."
She gave him a look through slightly teary eyes.
"I must go; I have to find my daughter."
And she was gone just as quickly as she had come. Leaving him standing there dumbfounded. Just who was that women? There was something about her, did she know him? He shook his head; He needed to get out of here. He needed to talk to Sig; the man had known Damas better than anyone out here. A little girl holding a bit of Cactus candy ran past him shouting for her Mother. A soft, sad smile danced across his face.
Okay not really like my other ones, because It's from Jak's point of view rather than Damas's. This was inspired by the fact that I just got to that point again in the third game. It just keeps getting more difficult to watch.
This is actually how my family does Funerals, we celebrate the life that was lost instead of mopeing around. Is this odd? Or just something that all people from Oklahoma do? Mind you me and my branch of the family don't live there, but the others do. I'll try and get Jak's out soon, no promises though.
