Sitting in the pool deep inside the temple. Jak had more than enough time to think. Not that he always was considering his more quiet nature. Figuring out who….or well what the Precursors were was a bombshell of a revelation. Just as much a figuring out he was Damas' son the entire time. He knew he felt the connection the familiarity of it through Damas' eco signature. He never knew why till he looked at the signet his younger self had, the one he had. So of course his rage and dark self would want revenge on Vegar and tear him apart. Watching Vegar into an Ottsel himself was almost revenge enough as the former Haven council member got his wish and humiliation for his deeds.

Jak also knew now ripping Vegar apart would of been a mere mercy, instead he let Vegar wallow in his own misery instead. Still it didn't mean he still held a chip on his shoulder for everything Vegar did to him. Everything except maybe throwing him into the Wasteland.

Getting to know his father, getting to know Sig more, have a place that accepted him despite his weird abilities (sometimes at least more so than Haven ever did), and kinda feeling like he was home with all the Precursor artifacts and danger lying on every corner.

Being King was definitely not something he considered doing, but it felt like the only path he could follow other than being the recluse hero of the world. Jak wasn't one for hiding either from his problems or his emotions. Especially now and days since he found his voice during those two haunting years under those many experiments. His new voice going ruff as he screamed and yelled endless for them to stop the torture. Praxis and Errol's voices mocking him or the such as slowly each of the other men and woman died or turned into abominations from all the dark echo.

Jak shivered at the memories, his scars and dark self flaring up at the old pains. The scars left over from the shackles and needles pumping him full of echo made his muscles ache and flinch at the phantoms pains. Jak sunk down into the cool water desperate to find reprieve from it till he couldn't hold his breath any longer. Popping out of it he felt the familiar signature of Seem nearby. Her quiet steps entering the mini Oasis, he turned to look at her surprised to see her face free of paint, her armor off leaving only the shirt and skirt underneath it. It looked breathable and comfortable compared to his own clothes. Heavy, but not enough to weight him down just how he liked it. But most of all her hair too he had never seen it before, all in one strip on the top of her head while the sides were undercut, the color of it stark white with red at the tips. Jak couldn't stop staring as he had never seen her like this, in the moment he felt like he was the one intruding not her. He sunk low into the water hiding his scars worried of what she would think of him.

Keira never liked them, hell she could just barely handle his dark form. They had tried to make it work after the whole saving the world deal passed, but too much time had passed and their views on certain things too. The bad blood of Errol being a pain in the ass was still there, they talked about it of course. If anything Jak was grateful they at least settled on keeping their friendship even if that was still rocky within its self. They were working on it. Daxter of course was a little disappointed, but he understood not everything was meant to be. Despite his loud mouth Daxter knew Jak's tells and limits and of course. Dax being the best friend he was gave Jak a healthy supply of drinks and stories afterwards. That was a fun night.

Jak turned to Seem again seeing her eyes closed at peace her echo signature showing as much with hints of many other things too, none of them clear, but he could imagine at least what. Jak tried to not let it get to him as he relaxed into the pool of water. He had long since cleaned himself off, but he wasn't sure if Seem did if she even needed to. He blushed wondering if she was going to join him or least ask if he needed anything.

Finally opened her eyes Seem rolling up the sleeves of her shirt. Jak watched fascinated his eyes wide a seeing her arms too were littered with scars, different ones, but scars all the same. Jak came close to Seem half out of the water as he unconsciously reached out laying his arm next to her own. It looked so much smaller than his, but both were equally marked with their own stories. They both didn't need to say anything for the solidarity to settle in.

Jak surprised himself as he touched Seems scars she didn't flinch and her echo signature was still calm, but it pulsed slightly as he touched her before it relaxed once more. The scars didn't look torn like his did as he fought back against his captors and restraints, they looked intentional. He looked up to her for answers.

"When a leader of my people dies, we select one of the few monks we have to become the new leader. The one of us that shows the most affinity to both dark and light echo becomes the new leader. I was the one chosen to lead my people, find, protect, and study the ancient Precursors. I like you help guide them whenever they need. Damas helped me when I first became Leader and now I help you Jak. You are not alone. "

Her words struck a cord in him, he felt grateful for it. He rubbed his thumb across the back of her arm feeling the thin scars, as she too did the same with his heavier ones. Jak felt at peace happy to not be judged or feeling like he needed to hide his scars from her. He hardly talked about it, there were times where he felt like he was bursting at the seams to say something, but it never felt like the right time.

He started speaking to Seem about his adventures with Daxter in the past; of Gol and Mira, saving the Echo Sages, going through time. Feeling out of place and taken against his will, experimented on, all of it to her. He felt embarrassed as he rambled on, but it felt liberating too. Daxter knew it all of course during the nights where they both couldn't sleep, it was nice being able to tell someone else for once.

Jak was surprised at how tired his voice had become once he was finished it was far more than what he was expecting. Their arms still interlocked with each other it was almost hypnotizing, he could feel her echo signature rise and fall as he told his story it mellowed out as he finished. It was almost intoxicating, he had never felt that happen before with anyone else. Well slight flares here or there, but nothing as strong as Seem's. He wondered how else he could do it, his mind wondering what could make it flare wildly or softly alongside his. His thoughts quickly turning south as he continued. He let go of her abruptly before dunking himself below the water again.

Seem looked at Jak surprised, as she felt his signature flare with a deep interest that sparked and flared her own too. The view of Jak's toned muscles and now grown out hair falling across his face as he was busy thinking doing things to her she didn't think she could feel, at least before he disappeared into the water. Seem could feel her cheeks flush and the coils in her stomach burn. It returned burning brighter as Jak popped back up again now facing her, the water glistening against his muscles and biceps. A good patch of hair leading down to his cock teasing her.

Seem just about choked on her breath, her body reacting with extreme interest, shaking, and echo flaring. Seem tried to look away, but it was Jak's turn to lock her in place with his stare. His dark blue eyes stared at her with a desperate want, he walked towards her, his hand touching hers. The moment felt like them meeting each other all over again. Only of course different as their echo signatures mingled and intertwined with one another.

They both stood blind sided at the pull towards each other, Seem vaguely heard Jak growl the sound of it going straight to her loins. She bit her lip hard holding back a moan.

Jak's voice was heavy with want and his body close...very close now. His breath warm against her face as he stared her down. "Tell me you want this. I need to know. You can leave and I won't hold it against you, but...please, Seem."

By the Precursors or whatever gods above be damned Seem wanted this. She needed it. Needed him. Her only answer was to pull Jak closer to her feeling his strong wet muscles wrap around her thin shirt and pushing their lips together into a messy kiss. Seem's other hand at first rested on Jak's shoulder slowly made it way down his chest. A weird mix of a growl and groan escaped his lips as she pressed her tongue onto his. Meanwhile Seem felt his hands wonder from her legs to her hips, she yelped as Jak pulled her closer into him she could feel his cock press against her thighs, and well it was huge. Seem blushed as she greedily rubbed against it enjoying Jak's shiver and groan.

He began pulling at her skirt desperate to see all of her, she brushed him off taking the last few articles of clothing off herself. Jak growled as he pulled Seem's hands away from her chest, trying to hide from him. Not on his watch. Seeing all of her had his cock twitching with want. Many would argue her tits weren't big enough or something or another, Jak didn't care he thought she was perfect the way she was. Seems red eyes even darker now as she stared at him. The both of them admiring one another.

It started out slow as Jak laid his lips and tongue everywhere he could onto Seem's neck and chest, leaving whatever marks he could and teased the peaks of her breasts. He loved watching her squirm and sigh beneath him. He loved feeling the echo within her practically rise to the surface of her skin, but he needed more.

He went further down reaching her navel where a small patch of white hair lay, he looked at her as if asking for permission. Seem nodded softly, opening her legs giving him full view of her wet cunt. The taste of her on his tongue and her surprised moans as Jak went down on her we're stastifying to his senses. Jak worked her slowly figuring out what made her tick, his fingers helping as he slid them into her entrance. He paused for a moment letting Seem get used to it till she started moving against his hand and tongue. Her warm folds heavy with slick, he could feel her getting closer to the edge before she pushed him off.

He looked at Seem confused till he felt her hand on his cock, Jak bit back a strangled moan. Seem's hand warm and soft around him. Feeling her hand slid from the base to the tip of his cock already had him on edge. Their lips locked again, he was so distracted he hardly noticed her move on top of him.

Jak gasped as he felt a whole new sensation of Seem enveloping him, riding him, her cunt practically taking all of him in her. Seem had her eyes shut tight and her open wide in a silent moan. She hadn't done this a long time, but even then Jak wasn't exactly normal and who would of thought that would include just about all of him and not just his powers. Her cunt held around him tightly, Jak hissed at the tight hold he put his hands on her hips soothing them.

"Take your time." He groaned.

Oh how desperately wanted to take her and have her scream, but Jak held back. It took just about all his inner strength to do so. Both his light and dark self telling him all sorts of things in his head. To claim her, make her theirs….his. Jak couldn't tell which at this point. Seem finally moved rocking gently still getting used to his girth.

"Jak…" Seem sighed his name softly.

She sank down more onto his cock the both of them shaking now till finally bottoming out. Seem tried hiding another moan.

"Let me hear you Seem." Jak surprising himself too as he spoke. He added softly. "You don't have to hide from me."

It was all the confidence Seem needed to move more onto him. Her face full of determination as she took all of him in her. Jak's hands on her thighs and hip no doubt leaving marks. Her moans as she grinned herself onto his cock was losing his control quickly now as he settled deep within Seem's warmth over and over again. Seeing too the distend of her stomach at just how big he was inside of her. He could feel his echo rise up within him, both sides emanating from him reaching out to Seem's own. The moment was electrifying their bodies moving in sync, both their minds and bodies lost to the moment.

They were practically glowing light and dark echo from their bodies as they moved together. Jak changed position reaching up to hold onto Seem, his lips finding hers and more leaving marks down her neck. Her moans music to his ears, with every thrust she made, he had his own to meet it. He could feel his balls tighten and his cock twitch, he was close. Seem of course moved harder into him.

Jak growled and moaned as he was he felt like he was hit with a speeder with how hard he came. He wasn't sure, but he felt the familiar feeling of his dark and light forms taking president he wasn't sure which, both maybe if that was even possible. Seem was consumed too by her own release, but she didn't look at all afraid of his forms in fact she seemed to look at them with reverence. Her body impossibly pressed onto his as they rode each other out of their aftershocks. Both their bodies trembling yet satisfied.

Everything felt like too much and too little all at once as they lied down at the edge of the pool. Jak letting Seem lie on top of him the both of them tired, as they held onto each other. His cock still somehow lazily pumping her full of his seed. A lot of it inside of her, but probably just as much spilling out as it was currently making a mess down their thighs and the ground below them.

It felt like a strange limbo they got themselves into. Neither one of them moving, neither of them wanting to leave the moment.

At least till Seem lifted herself off of Jak with a thick messy pop and slid herself in the pool of water. Jak huffed soon joining after her, he couldn't find a bone in him that regretted it. He really didn't. Seem stuck close to him, neither of them still not saying a word. It felt like they didn't need to, to know what they both wanted. Jak enjoyed seeing the marks he left behind on her as he watched her. Seem lifted her hand into his hair slowly undoing the knots in it. Jak doing the same to her in favour. It was a while but more till they decided it was time to get out, the both of them tired from their activities. Seem showed Jak to the rooms as it was late now, and very much not the best time to go back to Spargas. The marauders where always particularly nasty at the dead of night. Jak knew he needed to say something as he stood by the door.

"Do you-" He started, but Seem cut him off like she knew perfectly what he was going to ask.

"No. I don't." She thought for a moment her eyes shifting deep in thought. "Your determination is honorable Jak. You do the things you set out to do. I wanted it. I was never sure, but now I am. Thank you."

She leaned into his space kissing his cheek.

"I've left my monks long enough. I'll join you again later."

Jak simply nodded, he was tired. Still he felt fulfilled, his dark and light side nowhere to be felt within him, it felt like before again, before he had them. Daxter's voice usually drowned out theirs, but for once by himself they weren't staying anything. The only thing left behind was a deep feeling of content.

He wondered where this new relationship would take the both of them. It was definitely be awkward explaining it to Daxter and Sig, but he knew they would eventually come around. Everyone else though…

Jak shook his head, he could think about it later. He fell asleep as soon as he laid down in the bed. He barely felt Seem curl around him once she came back.

Jak was never much of sleeper, but it was nice waking up next to someone well...at least someone who wasn't an Otssel and snored like a metalhead. He felt safe around Seem, his echo forms echoing in his head with all sorts of ideas, but he didn't want to push his luck much less disturb her from her sleep. She looked...cute. Far more relaxed. Hearing her breath and feeling her echo signature he committed it all to memory. His echo forms finding it pleasing in doing so. They had already done so with Daxter, and some of his other friends, but nothing like this. This was of course far more intimate. Hell they never did this with Keira and the few times they tried to be intimate it always felt awkward and out of place. But with Seem it felt just right.

He watched her wake up, the both of them staring at one another. Jak brought both his echos close the surface the feeling of Seem's own as well doing the same was almost overwhelming like the night before, yet different this time too. The feeling of it bringing them closer together as they held onto each other. The moment didn't last long as much as either of them wanted to. Responsibilities to everything outside of the current together were just too important of course.

Jak put on the rest of his gear as Seem did hers and reapplied her usual look, the orange and red markings making her eyes shine brighter almost. He followed her to the secret entrance and down to the Sandshark, all in one piece and safe. She opened the wall staying behind as Jak made way. He looked to her, her hands in front of her face as she spoke in a soft prayer. Jak waited for her to finish before smiling and nodding silently as she did too.

His ride back of course full of marauders, but Jak knew more than well how to handle them. The gates to Spargas opening in the nick of time and parking just about perfectly in the Sandsharks usual spot. Klevier humped and shook his head swearing under his breath over Jak's show offy attitude.

He was in a good mood and not just from the events of the day before, but he felt good for once like he had more of a reason to call Spargas and the Wasteland with all it's dangers home. He knew there was an extra skip in his step when he didn't even care to glare at Vegar.

Well at least until he reached the citadel and Sig came to his view. A grin on the man's face that even made Jak uneasy.

"About damn time!"

Jak merely stood silent, staring at Sig. Before the other man continued.

"You never stay the night unless it's really important business, and a small sandstorm like yesterday...you would of been back by sunfall."

"Sig-" Jak didn't like where this was going. Maybe.

"I'm just saying...at least we have a runner up."

Jak tilted his head confused beyond belief. "A runner up for what?"

Sig laughed, one of his big ones like a really good joke Daxter made up and Jak would shake his head to.

"Every King needs a Queen."

Sig laughed harder as Jak paled at his answer. All Jak could think of was. 'Well shit….'
