~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~When the Twisted Ones fail to destroy the Chosen Warrior, a new darkness must emerge. A new creature that will destroy the White light. A new evil that will plunge the world into nothing but darkness, hate, fear, and loneliness.~

Everyone backed away slowly from the gigantic doors. Slowly, they opened and bright light seeped out. They all stared in awe at the light that came from inside. After opening the door with their one hundred power cells, Jak and Daxter could only gawk at what they found.

"By the Precursors!", Samos yelled as the light faded. The room was like that of a tomb with the light gone. Stone guards stood at each side with weapons such as swords, spears, and arrows. Precursor writing covered the walls and seemed untouched by time. At the end of the room was a large table. Jak slowly walked into the room, alert for anything to attack. Daxter sat on his shoulder guard, pulling himself as close as he could to his friend's shoulder and still keep balance. Keira and Samos soon followed noticing nothing had happened and no one attacked.

"This place gives me the creeps!", Daxter whispered harshly into Jak's ear. He had thought Misty Island was scary, but this place was just plain freaky! Daxter felt his fur stand on end as they walked further into the room and closer to the Stone table. He had a bad feeling about this. There was something not right about this place, and he could just sense the danger. Glancing over to Jak he could see that the other was also suspicious of the place as well.

On the table was nothing except a small wooden chest. It was small enough that Daxter could just fit in it. On its flat top were strange precursor marking that seemed as though they were more fancy then what They had seen before. Samos started to hover around the room trying to decipher the writings on the walls. Keira took one glance at Jak, who was currently studying the stone guards while Daxter was making crude comments, and walked over to help her father.

"I said it before and I'll say it again those guys must've been real losers!", Daxter yelled as he stared at the giant statues. They were tall enough to be a few feet from the impossibly high ceiling and So large that the width of one leg was bigger than Jak. Their faces were covered by their helmets and they held their weapons up in salute.

For nearly an hour they examined the room, no one daring to go to the wooden box on the table. Something inside each of them told them that it would be bad to go near there. Either because of the box itself or something around it they didn't know. Keira felt the same feeling she did when her father was taken by Gol and Maia. The same sinking dread that slowly seeped within her heart and tried to devourer her completely.

Jak on the other hand was debating on whether or not to go see what was in the small box or to continue looking around the guards and precursor writings. Not that he knew what was written. His curiosity got the better of him and he slowly walked toward the table. Daxter yelled in objection but Jak ignored him as he walked closer.

'What's in it?' He wondered silently. Although he did sense a darkness from the chest something kept on telling him to go to it. To find out what was inside. And his curiosity didn't help matters.

"What are you doing!", Daxter yelled," Can't you tell that thing is bad news!? HELLO! What am I talking to, a wall!? JAK!"

The ottsel continued to yell until Jak smacked him upside the head, making him fall forward and clear off the blonde elf's shoulder. Jak hesitantly placed his hands on the lid of the chest, not sure anymore if he should open it. Keira and Samos joined him and peered cautiously at the box. Deciding to find out what was inside he slowly opened the lid.

"It's a gem!?", Daxter yelled from Jak's shoulder once he climbed up. A small red jewel sat in the box.

"It's so pretty! The color of a ruby! But what's it doing in here?", Keira questioned as she stared at the gem that was no bigger than Jak's palm.

"I don't know. Perhaps it was an item of a royal king or queen. Or maybe even used for magic.", Samos spoke with his usual tone of knowing all. Jak doubted this small ruby could do anything. It was flat and round. It's center protruded out slightly on each side in the shape of an octagon. The color was dark red and reminded Jak of the color of blood. Strangely that disturbed him in some way.

Jak placed it back into the box feeling as though if he held it too long he might be jinxed or something bad would happen. Samos started talking to Keira about it while Daxter hopped onto the table thinking of a way to try to convince the Green Sage to sell it. Jak looked around behind the table and into the shadows that laid behind it. He was about to walk back when he noticed a small door on the floor. Covered in dust Jak could barely see the precursor writing. Jak instantly took a step back from it when he heard a whisper like voice.

"Come."

It seemed to be all around him. The elf turned to see if the others had heard it but they didn't even change their positions, completely oblivious to the voice. Jak started to wonder if he was hearing voices due to the lack of sleep he had during the quest to reach the citadel. He hoped that was the case and he wasn't just losing his mind.

"Come to me."

Jak jumped and stared at the door at his feet. He looked back to the others again to see Samos studying the precursor writings on the wall and Keira examining the gem while Daxter was climbing up one of the statues. None of them heard the voice. Jak wondered if it was just him and there was no voice. After all, no one else heard it. Maybe he was just imagining things.

"Come. Come to me!"

Nope. Unfortunately he wasn't imagining it. Jak stared down at the door. After a couple of minutes and nothing happening he went over to where Keira was examining the jewel to take his mind of the voice, though he highly doubted it.

"What do you think?", Jak asked softly as he stared at the small stone in her hands. She blinked in surprise.

"I don't know.", Keira confessed," It isn't like any other gems that are found by miners. In fact, this might be one of a kind."

"So what the heck are we going to do with it?"

Jak turned to the ottsel that had voiced the question. Knowing Daxter, he probably wanted to sell it for a good amount of precursor orbs. After all, what were they going to do with the red stone after all?

"Come to me boy. Listen to my voice."

Jak froze completely and turned to the shadows that hid the door. Keira and Daxter were oblivious to him walking back into the shadows. Something was down there, and like a possessed man he walked toward the door.

"Come."

He reached the closed entrance gate.

"Open the seal."

Overcome by the voice, his hand reached out to the rusted handle.

"Open the seal and come to me."

He closed his hand on the latch and started to pull on it slightly.

"Yes. Release me from here."

He lifted the door a few inches and- "Jak! Hey big guy! Were going!", Daxter's voice penetrated the elf's big ears and stopped his movements. Blinking He stood up and glanced down at the door in confusion and a bit of fear. He pushed the door down with his foot, and walked toward where Daxter was standing.

"Finally! Let's go!", Daxter yelled as he rushed up his back and onto the shoulder guard. Jak nodded and gave one last glance towards the shadows before walking out of the room to catch up with Keira and Samos while the sun was setting. He never noticed the rock that was jammed between the floor and the trap door, wide enough that an inch was clear. Dark mist seeped out of the opening, its seal broken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I still say we sell the darn thing! It's not like we can do anything with it!", Daxter yelled loudly. His only reply was Samos smacking him on the head with his stick.

"Wrong Daxter. This precious stone could have tremendous power. Why else would it be in the precursor room at the top of Gol and Maia's citadel.", Samos replied angrily. He did not want to deal with the ottsel's antics. They had taken the red gem and the old wooden box back to Sandover so they could find out more about it. Unfortunately it was far too late to study and everyone was exhausted. Jak and Daxter made quick with their good byes and headed back towards their hut.

"Home at last! Man did I miss a good bed!", Daxter said with great happiness. He leaped onto his now gigantic sized bed (compared to him) and rushed over to the soft pillows. Jak laughed quietly at his friend who flopped onto the pillows and curled up. Jak quickly got into his bed and blew the candle.

Jak smiled softly. "G'night Daxter."

"Night Jak."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jak looked around. A thick mist covered everything. He couldn't even see his hand in front of his face. All the blonde elf could do was continue to walk forward, hoping he was going in the right direction. As he walked further he felt the heat rising all around him.

After what felt like walking for hours he finally saw large forms in the distance. The smell of smoke soon filled his nose. Jak frowned. 'What the heck is going on?'. He rushed towards looming forms in the distance and what Jak came to was far from a village.

Jak stared in horror. "What the hell!?"

It was far more advanced then a village. It was like a city. But it was burning. Hot red fires licked at everything. Jak could feel the heat and the painful burning of the fires gliding across his legs. People ran frantically. Precursor statues and other things broke apart shattering against the attacking force. Realization finally struck Jak hard. These were the Precursors. The mysterious people that had vanished from the face of the planet. But why was he here!? What was going on!?

Jak couldn't move. 'What is happening!? This can't be real!' He tried to walk backwards but tripped over some scattered metal from one of the tall tower like things. Jak fell backwards, cutting his right arm on a sharp rock. He yelped in pain. This couldn't be a dream it was all to real! He closed his eyes to stop the world from spinning due to being overwhelmed. When he opened his eyes, his breath was caught in his throat.

There standing above him was a shadowed figure. In his hands was a sword covered in the blood of innocent victims. Red eyes of a demon glanced down at Jak, seeming delighted at the chaos.

He smiled insanely. "As I had done years ago, I shall again reek terror through the lives of all. You shall be the first to feel my horror.", The Demon held the sword above Jak's head his grin growing larger. "DIE!", He yelled a he swung the blood stained blade down. Jak saw a flash of red before his world went black…
