Spargus palace:

Not many people consider the palace of Spargus to be amazing, most often overlook it.

But like many things its not the outside that counts, but what is inside.

Inside of the palace you can see all the hard work and detail that was put into it, the walls seem as if they were carved from the very mountain, every single room was given a different detail by hand, many workers and even monks toiled day in and day out to bring the palace to what it was now.

Its a true work of art for those who are willing to see beyond what is shown on its exterior.

Inside the grandeur was appropriate for the celebration which was happening in honor of the new heir of Spargus, young prince Adrian Alexander of the house of Mar.

Like the palace itself Adrian fitted it just well.

You see, a long time ago the young child was known as Erol, the commander of the Kg, he had lived a hard life, being abused by the hands of his own father, never knew care or love and died a miserable death.

Nobody knew the truth of his past.

Except Sig, he knew how his life was like all too much, so when Erol came back as little Adrian it had caused joy to him, there was shocked, but mostly joy.

Jak at first didn't knew how his enemy life was like, why should he had cared for the one person who nearly killed him countless times and nearly destroyed the city.

But now that he knows the truth, he swears to protect Adrian...his sibling from harm and make sure that this second chance the boy has in life will be the best, that he would have everything that was denied to him in his previous life.

Both Sig and Jak knew Adrian must and will never know the truth, his past about being Erol, it was better that way, it was the right choice.

But right now they were in the party, yet the festivity was on hold as the rooms attention shifted to the person who had just entered the room.

"What are you doing here Damas?" hissed Jak as he glared at the one person he hoped to never see again.

He agreed that back then he would have given anything to see his father again...but after finding out the whole truth about him Jak would rather have another dark eco injection than see him again.

"What happened to Dad Mar?" asked Damas giving Jak a small smile, he wore a gray fancy jacket over that with gold designs on the sleeve and bronze buttons, a red sash that was tied from one shoulder to another, he no longer was bald, his hair had grown and combed back, had black dressing pants and fancy black shoes, he wore the seal of mar around his neck, it shone proudly as it was displayed.

"The day that I call you dad is the day that I drink dark eco straight from its source" Jak said in hatred, his eyes darkened, a clear sign that he was getting angrier and angrier by the second.

"Damas what are you doing here?" asked Sig, slightly calmer than Jak but hid his fury well,

"The precursors allowed me to come back so I can be with both of my boys" said Damas as he tried to move forward, but was stopped by Jak.

His eyes fully black he growled "I don't care what the precursors say, leave, your not welcome here",

"Is this any way to treat your father?" said Damas calmly,

"You stopped being my father after I found out the truth about Erol" growled Jak quietly so nobody else could hear him.

Damas was taken back a bit, wasn't expecting Jak to know the truth...

"Jak I made a mistake, I am not perfect" Damas whispered, he was hoping to tell him himself and that Jak would forgive him for his actions, but it looked like he wasn't going to be forgiven any time soon.

"Yes...and that mistake caused your demise and my peoples suffering...my brothers suffering and my mothers death, I will not forgive you for what you did to him" growled Jak to him,

"I want to make things right, I changed and I want to spend this second chance with you and Adrian" said Damas as he looked at Jak with honesty and a little hurt, he though Jak would be a little more forgiving of his actions, but after everything Jak knows and went through Damas knew he couldn't expect to be forgiven.

"I'd rather die a slow painful death then let you near Adrian, he is my son now, you lost him the moment you started abusing him" growled Jak.

He wanted nothing more than just destroy the man in front of him, how dare Damas come back, claiming he had changed and ask to see the one boy whom he had abuse and neglected.

Damas doesn't deserve that second chance, Jak won't allow it, Erol...Adrian did deserve it, but Damas didn't.

Sig held Jak back before whispering "Damas...Mar...now is not the time...we don't want to make a scene in front of these people".

True people were starring but that wasn't the reason Sig held Jak back, the reason was he believed Damas, why? he is not sure, but he is sure enough that death changed that man and he was truly sorry about his past actions.

Jak glared at Damas and said "If I see you anywhere near Adrian or trying to contact him in any way I will leave an anonymous tip saying how you are a child abuser..and we all know how protective the wastelanders are of their woman and children".

Damas took a step back as Jak left, he knew if anybody found out about that he would be killed, one way or a nother, but still he is willing to take that risk.

Erol...Adrian saved him from the darkmaker dimension, even after all that he did and said...he had to make this right...he just had to, he got a second chance and will use it to give everything that he owed to Adrian and hopefully...some day...make it up to him.

He loved his children, both Jak and Adrian...he might have not shown it to Adrian in his past life..but he will now.

Damas took a second before he began to follow Jak, knowing he might lead him to Adrian and hopefully a start to reconciliation with the child he once abused and neglected.

Somewhere in the palace:

Jak stormed around the palace looking for Adrian, he was praying he would find him before Damas did.

He didn't believe his father one bit, how could he if he had lied to everybody and his own wife, Jak's mother.

Sighting Jak started to take deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, he thought he wouldn't have another headaque as big as the one when he had to tell his friends about Adrian's secret.

He needed to tell them in order for the fake sugary story to work...incase Adrian got curious and started asking around.

It seems almost everybody suspected the truth of Adrians past when he told them.

Ashlin was the first, she was shocked, but she had felt that Adrian was somewhat familiar looking to her, also after telling her his past she nodded, said how during her childhood she had been friends with Erol and she seemed to noticed how he always had bruises, but never told her where he got them.

Torn...he was the one who was in most dislike over Erol coming back, they were never in the best terms, but after a little convincing...and bribing Torn agreed to keep the secret after Jak agreed to give him a higher salary.

Samos suspected like Ashlin, it seems during his time as the leader of the underground he had watched Erol and noticed something was off with him.

He even said that a blind person would notice something was wrong with Erol...

It even took one look for both he and Keira to realize Adrian to realize he was Erol.

Keira, it was hard for Jak, but he suck up his pride and apologized, even if he felt he was the one who deserved the apology first, but after he apologized she did the same and they both made up.

She does care about Adrian as much as he does, thanks to that you could say they were back to being friends.

It really bothered Jak that he was the only one who didn't suspect a thing, neither did Daxter, but it was obvious Daxter wouldn't.

Shaking his head Jak decided to ignore that for now, he needed to find Adrian,

"Adrian!" called Jak as he continued to look around,

"I am coming" he soon heard.

Adrian came running down the hallway to where Jak was, his outfit which had originally been neat and tidy was now dusty and rather rumpled from all the play time Adrian had had.

Jak couldn't help but to laugh a bit, he was glad Argo wasn't there with them or else he would have given Adrian the usual "You have to stay neat and tidy" lecture before sending him to have a another bath and change his clothes.

"Dad dad dad, I made two friends" said Adrian eagerly,

"Really?" said Jak as he took the young boys hand and began to walk back down the hallway,

"Ya, their names are Makensy and Godrick" said Adrian,

"Those are two very unusual names" said Jak,

"Ya, but their good" said Adrian nodding,

"Well glad you had fun cause were going home now" said Jak,

"Awwww why? it was starting to get good" whined Adrian,

"I know, but something came up" said Jak as he patted the young boys head,

"Mar nothing has come up" he heard, froze and glared daggers at the person standing at the doorway who was Damas.

Adrian looked at Damas, he felt he knew that person, but felt unsure about him but that feeling soon left when he kneel down till he was eye to eye with the young boy, smiled at him.

For some reason Adrian felt an impulse to run into that mans arms and hug him, but flinched a bit when he felt Jak's grip tightened around his hand.

"Your not allowed near him Damas" hissed Jak,

"I have a right, he is My son" said Damas.

There seems to be one thing Jak, Damas and Erol..Adrian had in common...their stubborn when it comes to giving up.

"Dad...I though you said daddy Damas was dead" said Adrian confused,

"I just went on a long vacation" lied Damas,

"One that he was never suppose to come back" Jak added hissing,

"But I came back, a little late, but I did" Damas said.

Adrian frowned, it seemed Jak didn't like Damas by the way he face looked, angry and stuff.

Ignoring that look Damas said "Adrian would you greet your father?", before Adrian did or said anything Jak grabbed him and carried him away, fast.

Adrian looked, he was confused, really really confused, why would Jak act this way towards their father?

To be continued...

Authors note: 00 Damas is alive?! is he saying the truth? Or is he faking it?
