Prologue: Goodbye

There Jak lay on his back with Daxter comfortably laying on his chest. Jak stared up at the ceiling deep in thought. Tonight would be the last night he would see Daxter. The last time the ottsel would sleep on his chest. The last time he would lay in a bed with his best friend.

He was leaving Haven and Spargus. Leaving the two cities that needed it's true ruler on the throne, but he didn't want to rule the city that thought of him as a monster. Only Sig new Jak was Damas' son only after they had told them and explained everything. But Jak insisted that if Spargus needed a King, that they needed one with experience.

A year had passed since then, and his dark side was getting harder and harder to control by the day even with light eco injections. No one knew of the injections, not even Daxter. And now he was leaving. All he would take were his weapons, the clothes on his back, and his amulet that carried his family's crest on it.

Jak lifted Daxter off his chest as he sat up and set him on the pillow. Daxter only curled up into a ball in his sleep. Jak smiled as he slid his shirt on over the amulet that hung from his neck. He grabbed his goggles and leather straps that held his gun to his back. He grabbed a pen and jotted down a note leaving it on the nightstand.

With one last look at Daxter he turned and exited the room into the back hallway. He made his way down the stairs and into the main room of the Naughty Ottsel. He looked around. No one in sight. Then again, what did he expect? It was two in the morning. He walked through the room and out the door. He took one last look at the building that held so many memories, both good and bad, then left.

Daxter woke up the next morning to a bright light coming in from the window that was directly beside the bed that he and Jak shared.

'Stupid sun.' thought Daxter. As his eyes adjusted to the bright light, he looked around the room to find that Jak was missing. His eye caught a glimpse of a piece of paper on the nightstand. He sleepily crawled toward it and sluggishly grabbed it. He wiped the sleep out of his eyes and yawned. Daxter held the note up so he could read what resided on the note.

Take care of Samous and Keira for me, and watch your tail. -Jak

It take a couple of seconds for the message to click. Jak was gone.
