Hey there fans :) This is another little story. This one is about My OC Kia, and one of the ottsels from Jak 3. The ottsel I'm talking about is the one who says things like "Hey Dude". He is commonly refered to as "Ottsel surfer" I had written PART of this in my story Fantasy Comes Alive, but didn't go into detail. I wrote this to show more of the story, and I thought it would be cute and fluffy!

A Few notes I want to point out:
1. My OC, Kia is a Fercoon (A ferret Raccoon Cross) Check my profile is you want a description, and a picture of her. Also, The ottsel in this story starts out as a fercoon, but goes into how he became a Precursor.
2. This story is written in first person from Kis'a point of view. (I prefer writing in 1st person. It's easier for me.)
3. The ottsel in this story, I named him Reef. It sounded like a fitting name for him.
4. This takes place about 3 months BEFORE the start of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and Continues through Jak 2 and 3. (Don't worry it's not as long as you think it is.)
5. First story about the ottsel surfer! I feel special ^-^

This story is going to have three chapters. The first is during TPL, the seconds set during Jak 2, and the Third during Jak 3.

Alright, with that said, enjoy!

Part One: Peace leads to travesty

"Come on Kia!" Reef called out, as he had already went outside. "Let's get to the beach!"

"Coming!" I said back. I guess I should introduce myself shouldn't I? My name is Kia, and I am what you would call, a crossbreed. I am part ferret, and part raccoon. I have the slim body, and small paws of a ferret. Then I have the striped tail and masked face of a raccoon. My fur is light blue in color, but has darker blue markings on my paws, underbelly, ears, facemask, and tail stripes. I also gained my near-perfect night vision from my raccoon half. I'm refered to by most as a fercoon, though some folks around here like to call me a Racret. Both names are accuret as I am exactly 50% raccoon and 50% ferret. Unlike some crossbreeds who are more of one animal then the other. I do prefer the title of "Fercoon" though, as "Racret" sounds a bit weird. It's not uncommon to see crossbread animals around this little village. Infact, it would be really odd not to see them.

All the animals here are crossbreeds. Yakows are a cross of a Yak, and a Cow. You get the brown fur coat of a Yak which helps them stay warm during the cold winter months, and the speedy milk producing abilities of a cow. They, however gain the stubbern nature of both animals which can make them very hard to corral if they some how escape from their pen. Crocadogs are a cross of crocodille, and a dog. They, although are about 70% dog, and only 30% crocodillian. They gain the dogs small size, but have the tail, and large claws of a croc. They maintain their cuteness, and loyalty to their owner, but when angered they can be fierce and snap their jaws with the incredible bite force of an adult crocodile.

This quaint little town is very peaceful. Filled with small huts made of simple, yet durable materials. Flowers of all kinds decorating the ground, and various species of birds flying about. The town itself is surrounded mostly by ocean. To the north is the fire canyon. Across the canyon there is said to be another village, but the ground is so hot that it is impossible to cross the moltan lava rocks. To the east is a very large and forboding jungle. Nobody dares to go there as it is said that there are many dangers lurking within. Off the coast of the mainland is an island that is surrounded by a thick smog-like mist, appropritlly named Misty Island. Not much is known about it. Some say that great tresure is hidden there, just waiting for some brave adventures to stummble along and discover the secrets within, others say the island is mearly a mirage. The islands appearence keeps people from going there, as it is even more scary looking then the Forrbiden Jungle.

The populace is very friendly. Practically everyone knows each other. We're all like a close knit family. An odd family, but a family nonetheless. There is the sculpter, who is currently trying to move a large boulder so he can use it to start his next peice of artwork. He was the one who made the water fountains that decorate the pathways. His work takes him a while to finish, but turns out superb when it is finally completed. Whenever he has "artist's block" he turns to his muse. Some say that Muses are crossbreeds of a lemur, and a cat. Muses also appear to glow when they run around in the dark. We're not exactly sure what the muse is, or how it came to be, but it matters not.

Another popular citizen is the mayor. The reason why we have a mayor in such a small village has always puzzled me. Nothing bad has ever happened to make me believe that we even needed one. It seemed even more pointless to have him run for "Re-election." Every year he would re-run his same campainge, but every year he ran unapposed so he always wins by default. He also seemes very stressed out over nothing. Whenever I walk past his hut he would always be pacing back and forth, lightly talking to himself. Other people here are the farmer, the keeper of the yakows, the bird lady who watches birds, and trains flut-fluts for riding, and the explorer, who seems to do more resting then adventuring if you ask me.

Perhaps the most popular and well known citizen of this town is the green sage who lives in a large hut right on the side of the west cliff. His name is Samos. He is the sage of green eco, which carries the power to heal. The power of life, the essence of nature. He has many plants and vines around his hut. His daughter Keira lives with him and is really interested in mechanics. Samos is also taking care of two other boys. I don't know their names, but one doesn't speak, and then his orange haired friend doesn't ever shut up. I don't know them all that well, but I have seen them running around.

Reef and I are best friends. He is also a fercoon like me. He also had light blue colored fur, but it was more of a vibrent blue rather then a pale blue like myself. His markings were similar to mine except for them being more blended and seemlessly fading into his basic fur color. He also has a small tuff of dark blue colored fur on top of his head. We've been friends for as long as I can remember. Our parents introduced us when we were only babies, and we've been friends ever sense. About 2 years ago my parents, along with Reefs, both died of illness when they caught the flu during an abnormally cold winter. They tried treating it, but it escalated into full blown phnemonia, cutting their time on this planet short. Reef and I were both devastated, especially considering that neither of us had any other family members. We both went through a stage of deep, lingering depression. Not wanting to go on with our lives, not having the desire to accept the fact that they were in a better place, and not even wanting to wake up in the morning knowing that we'll never see them again. We both consoled each other, and eventually we felt better, but even still, I don't think either of us have gotten over their deaths. In a way, Reef has become like the big brother I never had. He is only older then me by a few months, but always is there to look out for me, to be there when I need him. Now, we both have a den that is right by the ocean. It's in the perfect location. If you walk out, you hit the beach which is perfect for going swimming during the hot summers as it is now. And during the winter the den stays warm.

Well, that's enough back-story for now. Let's get back to the present. I walked outside of the den, and over to reef who was about 10 yards away at the waters edge. The sun was shining brightly today, only a few clouds in the sky. The waves were calmly washing the shore, sifting the sand in it's path, and sometimes washing seashells onto land.

"Hey!" I said.

"Ready to go swimming?" He asked me.

"You know it!" I replied.

Reef and I have always love to swim; Reef even more then I. He would live in the water if he could. He knows how to surf, and he loves snorkling. Sometimes I joke and say that he's part fish. We both walked into the warm ocean water, going on with our usual endevors. Racing each other to random rocks to see who was faster, paddling out and riding the incomeing waves back to the shore on reefs surfboard, and other things your would expect from a great day at the beach. Towards the end of our day when the sun was just starting to set below the horizion, Reef turned to me and said that he wanted to show me something underwater that he called "amazing"

"Here, these will help you see better." Reef said while handing me his pair of swim goggles. "The water gets a bit murky down there."

"But, don't you need these?" I said to him.

"Nah, my eyes have adjusted to the water." He replied. "I only like to wear them cause they look cool."

"Oh! Okey." I put the goggles around my head only to find that they were a bit too big. I tried messing with the straps to make them smaller, but I struggled. Reef walked over and fixed them, adjusting them to the perfect size. "Hehe Thanks."

"They look good on ya." Reef said giving me a smile.

A few moments later we both walked back into the water, Reef leading the way to whatever it was that he wanted to show me. We stopped near a large rock jutting out of the sea. Reef then told me that right below us was the most beautiful coral formations that he had ever seen. When I asked how beautiful it was, he didn't answer, but instead said that I had see for yourself. He dived down in the water, while I followed moments later. After swimming down a few feet I saw what reef was talking about. The coral was stunning. It was every shade and color of the rainbow, and reflected the light from above making it shine brightly in high contrast with the dark water, almost making it look as if it was glowing. With the coral, were many species of fish and other sea creatures. From small, little clown fish with their orange and white striped bodies, to even smaller snails with their differnt colored coiled shells. Reef went down deeper in the water and motioned for me to follow. I did so and swam further down. As I went down I felt the presure of the water rise. It felt as though a large weight was being set on top of my head, and that weight wasn't about to move or disappear. I tried to continued down in the water, but the next thing I know, my vision started getting foggy, and moments later... I had completly blacked out.

Darkness... was all I saw. Nothing else, but the cold, cruel darkness. It surrounded me, not loosening its hold. Where was I? Why was I being consumed by this darkness? As I asked myself these questions I saw a light. It was bright, almost blinding. From the light, a figured appeared, though the light behind it made me see only its shillouette. It's body shape resembled that of mine, but it had large wings. The figure moved closer, and closer... and soon the identity of the figure was known...

"Mother?" I said. It was her. I recognized her destictive ice blue eyes. The kind of eyes that were always full of love and caring. She wore a long white robe with light blue trim on the sleaves and collar, and her wings were large and the brightest of white.

"Yes my dear." She said. "It is I."

"Are you... an angel?"

"Oh I am much more then that sweetie." She replied. "I am your gaurdian. Here to tell you that it is not your time." I stood there staring at her. I was amazed that I was talking to my mother. I haden't heard her sweet calming voice in so long, that I had almost forgotten what it sounded like. My eyes started watering.

"Mother..." I began to say.

"It is alright my dear, sweet Kia. You need to be where you belong, and that is with Reef. There is much adventure in store for you both, and you must live on to fulfill it. Never give up, and always live life to the fullest, seizing the day with every step that you take. You will both go far. I promise." She told me. She then began fading away... going back towards the bright light... leaving me behind.

"Wait! Mother, don't go!" I yelled with tears now falling down my cheeks. "Come back!"

"I will always be with you. Blessith be." She was gone. I was alone, and the darkness surrounded me yet again.

"Kia...? Kia, can you hear me? Kia!"

The darkness... It was fading away. It began to turn grey and continued until there was nothing at all.
I heard the sound of my own coughs, and I opened my eyes. I had no recollection or what happened, or where I was. I remember seeing the darkness, and then my own mother. What had caused that darkness? Mother said it was not my time, but what was she talking about. Then it all came back to me in a rush of memory. Reef, the coral, the sea cretures, the water presure, I had almost drowned.

In front of me stood Reef with a greatly concered look. "Kia, are you alright?" He said. I stood up, not answering his question, and hugged him tightly, now realizing that he had saved me.

"Reef, you saved my life!" I said to him. "How can I ever thank you."

"No need for thanks." Reef replied as he hugged me in efforts to calm me down. "I just glad your alright."

"If you wern't there I would be dead right now..." Both of us stood there in silence for a few moments. The sky had gotten darker, the unusually colored, green sun was now gone, and the bright moon now replaced it.

"Come on Kia, let's go home." Reef said. "It's getting late." I gave him a simple nod, and we walked back to our seaside den.

Three months later.

Ever since that day... the day that I had almost drowned... the day I stared death in the eye... I haven't looked at Reef the same way. Before, I had seen him as a close friend, but now... I see that he's more then that. He's a hero... My hero. As these few months have gone by, I have realized something. Something... that I knew all along, but it never showed it's true colors until now. Something... that I sense that Reef knows too. Something that cannot be denied... I love him. Yeah... I... I'm in love with him. It's not just the fact that he saved me. No no, it's far from that. It's everything about him. His caring, fun-loving personality that seems to lighten any tense situation, his great sense of humor, his deep, soulful, dark blue eyes that I find myself getting lost in whenever I stare at them. His calm... somehow soothing voice, with that accent that I could recognize from miles away. And his sweet smile that lifts my mood whenever it is down. He's always been there for me... Always cared... And now that I realize this... I want to tell Reef, but I'm hesitant. If he doesn't feel the same way then I don't want to risk hurting the great friendship that we currently have. And yet I feel as though I am obligated to confess. Keeping such feeling from someone is not fair on either persons part... I am so... confused, for lack of a better word. I don't know what to do...

On a different note, I saw those two boys that Samos was caring for, take the fishermans boat early this morning when it was still dark out. I was even more worried when I saw the speedboat heading directly towards Misty Island. I don't know what those two are thinking, but that Island just screams trouble. I sure hope they don't get hurt or anything...

Later That Day.

I heard from Samos today, and apperently that island is more trouble then anyone thought. Those two boys were there and the orange-haired one found himself falling into some dark purple liquid, and it turned him into an orange... otter? Weasel? We'll go with... ottsel. Samos later explained that the dark liquid was actually a highly dangerous substance called Dark Eco. The orange haired boy is lucky to have made it out with his life. I knew of the four main ecos, green, blue, yellow, and red, but I had no knowlage of this mysterious fifth eco. Samos is highly concerned about the Dark Eco concentration on Misty Island. He believes that it could be used for evil, and possibly destroy all of us. If this fifth eco does indeed have the potential to destroy, it sounds to me like things around here are going to change... And I don't mean for the better.

After a few months my suspisious were proven to be true. Things have taken a turn for the worse. Lurkers have over run most of the surrounding area of the Forbidden jungle, and Sentinal beach. Reef and I can not even go swimming anymore as large sand snakes, and lurker crabs have invaded the waters. I hear that lurkers are also concentrating on Misty Island trying to open a silo that is filled with a vast amount of Dark eco. This has both myself and Reef worried. Additionally, Those two boys have been running around alot more recently collecting powercells. I Heard that they are going to use them for what Keira calls a zoomer, to get across the fire canyon. The boys seem to be able to defend themself pretty well as I have seen the non-speaking one easily beating some of the lurkers on the beach. I and thankful for him, for he has cleared out the section of the beach that Reef and I live near, and it has allowed us to go into the water once again. Although... With all the rising problems Reef and I both have little enthusiasm for swimming or surfing right now. I fear that time is against all of us, and if something isn't done soon... we might not survive.

"Reef..." I said one night. It was late and Reef and I were just settling down into bed. "Do you think things will ever be back to normal?"

"It's hard to say." Reef replied. "But I sure hope so." He sat down on the bed next to me.

"Samos says that he's found even more concentrations of Dark eco in other parts of the area." I stated. "It's like it's speading."

"I know." He replied. His voice clearly showed his growing concern. "It has me worried too."

"Reef... I'm scared." I said. Apon hearing my statement reef put his arm around me.

"I know Kia... I know." He said. "But don't worry... I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."

We had a small moment of silence, and then we both layed down. Reef said good night to me, and after I was certain that he had fallen asleep, I wispered quietly.

"Good night Reef... I love you."

I awoke the next morning noticing that Reef had already gotten out of bed. I got up, and went outside, knowing exactly where he would be. It was early, and the sun was just starting to rise. Reef was sitting on a rock that was in the water, about 20 feet from the shore. This was a favorite spot of his. I walked through the water, and sat down on the rock next to him. The sunrise was beautiful. The green sun reflected on the ocean as if it was glass. The sky was filled with all different shades of pink, purple, red, and blue. The waves were calming splashing on the rock we were sitting on, lightly misting our feet. I can see why Reef loved this spot.

"Good morning." He said.

"Mornin'..." I replied. "What are ya doing out here this early?"

"Just... thinking." He replied.

"Great place to think."

"Yeah..."

Even with all the current problems, the sunrise seemed to relax both myself and Reef. It was nice to see a calm, peaceful sunrise in these days of constent uncertainty. We both sat silently listening to the chirping birds. Even they sounded worried with slower, disorginized crys rather then their normal, happy morning wake-up songs. They too could sense that things are getting worse as the days went on.

"Kia..." Reef said. He had been staring at the sunrise looking like he was deep in thought about something. "I came out here to think about something that has been on my mind for a while now... And watching this sunrise today I think I came to a conclusion..."

"Yeah?" I said questionally "And what would that be?"

"...I love you too."

It took a few seconds before what he had said registered in my mind, and even a few more before my mind could prosses and react to it.

"Wh... What did you just say?" I said.

"I heard you last night..." He replied. "I love you too Kia."

"You... you mean it?" I asked in utter surprise.

"Yes, Kia. I mean it." He replied, reaching over to hold my hand. I was so overjoyed to hear that he felt the same feelings that I felt for him. It was the greatest feeling I had ever experienced, and I was willed with joy and happiness. All the time I had wasted trying to decided if I should tell him or not was now all worth it. I did not mean for him to find out in the way that he did, but it matter not. And now we can share those feelings with each other without the fear of hurting the friendship that we had. That is what I was most afraid of. We both sat their staring into each others eyes. Reef's dark blue iris's seemed to have a new life and sparkle to them. I began crying tears of joy. Reef reached up, wiping the tears that had fallen down my face. I gave him a smile and a quiet laugh. He then put his hand on my cheek, bringing my face closer to his. Our lips met, and everything around us faded away. Nothing was wrong with the world. There was no uncertainty, no problems, no dark eco threatening everyones existence. Nothing could ruin this moment that we shared. It was magical, as cliche as that may sound. It was the moment when you felt that spark, that moment when you hear fireworks in your head telling you that everything was perfect, and the connection you felt was stronger the ever. Our moment seemed to last for longer then I could measure, but that was cue the true magic and excitement on it. When we pulled apart, both Reef and I smiled, an even greater and brighter sparkle brightly shining in our eyes. It was great to know that even in these days of constent fear, I will always have Reef there to make things better. Things are starting to look up.

-A Few Days Later-

Reef and I decided to day to do something that would symbolically show our love for each other. All you gutter-minded people can just slap yourself across the face right now, becuase it's not what you're thinking. Stop jumping to conclusions. We're going to get what I guess you could call "tatoos." Except we're using plant extracts to make concetrated dyes that can be used to dye our fur. Various local plants can be crushed up, releasing a liquid that, when combined with water, turns into a kind of paint. It's perfectly safe, and also long lasting. The plant that we are using is called ginido, which produced a dark blue colored dye. We gathered the plants, crushed them up, and mixed the plant extracts with a small amount of water, and then took turns applying the ink. Reef though it would be cool if we had each others initals. I agreed. Reef decided that he wanted it on his back by his shoulder. I started drawing the precursor symbol for K, and soon after I was finished. Reef and I swapped places, and he then began to draw the precursor symbol for R on my shoulder. After he was done, we both waited a while and then washed off the extra left over dye, and it left behind out new marks on each other.

More news came today from Samos. He informed us that the two boys had more then enough powercells to power Keira's zoomer. They were going to ride it over the fire canyon, and activate the portal that was on the other side. Samos and keira are going to follow behind, so all of us here in the village are going to be on our own. Were not going to be getting any more new from here on out. It should'nt be bad though, I hoping. The blond boy seems to have great potential according to Samos. He has told me that the young blond has a great talent for channeling eco. That is a skill that I admire greatly. Samos is quite optomistic that this silent kid is going to be the one to save us all. Wether Samos is right or now is uncertain. Only time will tell.

It was been months, and Samos was right. Today we were informed that the blond has become everyone's hero by stoping the Dark Eco sages, Gol and Maia, preventing then from unleashing the dangerous substance on us all. We all will be eternally greatful not only to him, but to his orange ottsel friend, Keira and Samos as well. The blond, for his strengh, bravery, and talent for eco channeling. Keira: For her knowlage of mechanics, which without them, they never would have been able to get across the fire canyon. For Samos: His sagly abilities helped guide the blond, and help him through the endevors that they came across. And even for the blonds little friend: Even though the times I had seen him, he never even said a simple hello, he went along with the blond hero, and went through the same dangers.

Reef and I decided to go over today, and actually meet, and thank these two boys who have saved us. We haven't so much as learned their names, as to show them just how thankfully we truly are to them. Reef and I began our walk to Samos hut, coming to the bridge that lead up to it. We walk across the first bridge, and saw that there was a large object infront of the hut. It looked to me to be some sort of precursor artifact.

"Hey Reef," I said. "What do you suppose that is?"

"I'm not sure." He replied. We both exchanged a look.

"Let's check it out!" We both said simultaniously. We then ran across the second bridge leading up to the hut. As we neared our destination, the large ring shaped object started floating in the air, and some sort of dark swirling vortex occupied the middle of it. Despite the day being clear and bright, the vortex changed that making very dark and omonious looking, everything having a slight purple glow. Reef and I both stopped in our tracks, looking up at the strange winged creatures that were flying out of it.

"What are those things!" I said to Reef. They were very odd looking creatures that I had never seen before. They were mostly black or grey, and resembled giant wasps or bees. They had large stingers, but also had large glowing yellow gems on their foreheads.

Looking forward I saw Samos, Keira, and the two boys sitting in a some sort of weirdly shaped vehicle. The orange ottsel was freaking out, and everyone else has looks of terror. After a few seconds a deep, frightening, bone chilling voice spoke.

"The last rift gate has been opened!"

Then I saw the faces of the vehicle occupents go from scared, to completly and utterly horrified. Then suddenly the vehicle shot directly towards the vortex, and disappeared inside of it. More creatures started jumping out of the vortex. Reef grabbed my hand, pulling me in the opposite direction, back down the bridges.

"Let's get outta here!" He yelled. We both ran, using all the energy that we could exert. We watched the large wasp creatures proceed deeper into the village. They invaded the closest hut, the unlucky victem being the sculpture and his innocent pet muse. Even from far way, the scene was gruesome, and made my shomache churn at the sight of the amount of blood, and the sound of the pained cries before the targets were both silenced for good. We ran, dodging wasps, trying to prevent them from stinging us. As we ran we saw differnet creature start to appear. These ones reminded me of the purple lurkers, becuase of the way they walked, but like the bees, they were dark grey and had large yellow glowing gems on their foreheads. They also had razor sharp fangs, and large claws. I seem one of them use their claws to slice right through the trunk of an old oak tree. The bird Lady was screaming in horror as she saw one of the creatures latch it's jaws around her precious flut-fluts neck. The bird letting out a single caw of intense pain, before it fell lifeless to the ground. The creature then turned it's attention to the lady. It advanced towards her, baring it's fangs that had blood dripping down them from it's previous attack. I heard but one small scream, and then the sound of bones being crushed replaced it. The ground creatures moved onto the next hut, while the flying ones began stinging the farmer's yakows. The animals wipped their tails, and kicked their legs up in efforts to swat the wasps away, but the effort was fruitless. The stings quickly paralyzed, and quickly sucked the life out of them. The Farmer was running around like a headless chicken. A ground creature came up behind him, grabbing his pitchfork, and in one swift motion stabbed him causing an instant downfall. The mayors screams were loud, and increased in volume as the level of pain went into the red, effectively stopping his yells for good as he would never see the light of another day. The mayors hut soon fell to peices on top of him as the wasps knocked into, and destoryed it. The fisherman was in his hut trying to fight the land creatures. He, despite his tough looking exterior, was yelling with extreme terror. He kicked a creature away from him, but only enraged it even more. It let out a loud snarl, and charged towards him, it's jaws wide. Not a sound could escape the fisherman, as he had no time to react before fangs were inbedded into his skin. The Explorer was found on the ground outside it hut. I had no knowlage of what happened to him, but it's safe to conclude that he was silenced in similar ways as all the others.

Reef and I were horrified at the scene that unraveled itself around us. With the villagers out of the way, somehow the creatures started a fire that quickly spread from one hut to the next, buring and singeing all in its path. In that moment it had dawned on me, that we were next.

"Reef! We have to get away from here!" I yelled.

"Come on!" He yelled back, pulling me in the direction of the fishermans hut. As I ran a wasp jumped in front of me. I dodged it's sting, and ran away from it, but it quickly turned around, and started chasing me. I ran to try and avoid it. In my haste I didn't realize that I couldn't see reef anywhere. I tried to turn around to go look for him, but I was blocked by three more wasps that were pursuing me. I kept running, ending up back by Samos's hut which was the only one that wasn't destroyed yet. As I ran by the precursor ring I felt myself being lifted from the ground. I scrambled to grass hold of the grass, but in all my efforts I saw myself get closer to the portal, and soon enough I had disappeared into it.

3rd person POV

The morning after the devestating attack that had befallen the village of Sandover, all was silent. The creatures that had destoyed everything had now moved on to the surrounding areas of the forbidden jungle, and through the fire canyon to the unsuspecting village on the other side. Sandover had now been reduced to one big scrap heap. Rubble from the torn down huts littered the ground. The viliages power scorce was knocked to the ground, eco still sparking off of it with a quiet crackel. The fallen yakwos had been eaten by the creatures, leaving only the bones behind. The once cherry, nature oriented village was now a barren, desolent landscape.

on a narrow strip of land at the beach was Reef. He layed there unmoving. His blue fur was dusted with sand, and splattered with blood. A large cut ran down his back, which formed the pool of blood he was laying in. His face had three large scratchs, certainly caused by the creatures that were there night before.

A shadow falls over the badly injured Fercoon. He coughed, though it was very slight.

"My my." A voice, belonging to the being that cast the shadow said. "He's still alive. At least there was one survivor from this horrendous attack."

"Yeah" Another, more... goofy voice replied to the first. "We should help him!"

"Yes my brother... And we shall." The first voice said. "Help me to carry him. We need to get him back to our headquarters."

"Yeah, yeah!" The goofy voice agreed. Reef was picked up off the ground, and was carried by the two beings that had found him on the brink of death. Reef did not know the identity of his saviors, but little did you know, that it would change his life... For better or for worse, that was for Reef to decide.

WOW! I loved writing this. It was so much fun! I can't wait to write and post chapter two! I really want to know what you think about this story, my OC, the concept, etc. If you find any errors PLEASE point them out to me. I read this over and fixed the error I have fround, but I am bound to miss at least a few.

About the scene with the destruction of sandover; I got a little carried away with the painfull deaths of the villagers, but with all of the metal heads, I would think it would be quite devestating. I hope that scene didn't creep you out too much...

Stay tuned for the next chapter where we find out who saved Reef, where Kia ended up, and how they cope with being separated. It should be quite a tear-jerker.
