30 years later…
Jack: I, the Master of all Light Things A.K.A. the Master of all Darkness, am known by my people, the Rejoicing Ones A.K.A. the Dark Ones, as Jack the the King of Light, Ex-Unholy Redeemer of the Underworld, who has married his girlfriend and has many children that are blond and redheaded with blue eyes, and lives in a medium-sized white house with a white picket fence on a cliff, that overlooks the sea, next to a beautiful Weeping Willow, which was wanted by his wife as a replacement for the tree that bears only one piece of fruit a year. Ahhhhh!!!! A short name!
To bring you up to date so I can ramble some more… My servant Quickthorpe has retired and moved to the Eylisian Fields, and we have gotten a new servant named Sylvia the Blond One Who Watches Children. The titanic dark castle has been moved down the hill as a road block so that no one can get to us, Jack and Rose Dawson, Jak, Raven, Khrystyne, Taylor, Zakary, Annabelle, Valentyna, Jay, and our future children which we hope to name: Stephany, Judyth, Laurel, James, Andy, Jacynth, Belynda, Kasey, Bryan, Sydney, Chase, Aurelya, Wyllyam, Kayte, Leonardo, Tyffany, and/or Adam.
This just in…
Jack Dawson and his lovely wife, Rose Dawson, are invited to a dinner party at the Meek Servant’s house to meet his wife and first child, the Meek Servant Jr. The house located 1 Meek St. Meekville, Meekitonia (Underworld). The date of the party is Fanuairy 3, 86 B. D. at 6:00 P.M. RSVP by Jabunary 22, 86 B. D. Meek Servant and Family
I wonder if I should go???? I’m hungary. I’ll have some pancakes. I know! I’ll practice!

Rose! Roooossse! Rose! Rose? (Jack walks up stairs) Rose! Oh…my…god! Rose, wake up! Are you still alive? Nnnnnooooooo!!!! Rose! Rose, you can’t die! You’re already dead! Nnnnnnnnnooooooooooo!!!! We had such a long future ahead of us! That’s it! I call the Master of all Darkness back! His powers are needed to seek revenge and see the oracle! Come! Come, O Master of Darkness!
Ha ha ha!!!! I, the Master of all Darkness, am called by my people, the Dark Ones, Jack the Unholy Redeemer of the Underworld who lives near the River Styx in the titanic dark building, which is a castle of great darkness and proportion, on the cliff by the dead tree which bears one piece of fruit a year which he, the Master of all Darkness, is the only one who can touch it besides his loyal servant, Quickthorpe, who serves him through all space and eternity now and forever in this dark Underworld which we, the Dark Ones, fear as do the mortals above, who are still living, and/or didn’t sink on the Titanic because they either weren’t alive or they escaped or they didn’t buy a ticket or in some cases didn’t win one or die because of love. I’m back! Thanks to Jack, I now have a body to use to take over the world! Ha ha ha!
Now, to go see an oracle.
Oracle: I am seeing…I am seeing…I am seeing in my crystal ball, you wife Rose…she is trapped between dimensions…she cannot complete her journey to the other realm, the realm of the living, to be reborn…for she is an Old One, one of the last existing Old Ones…the Old Ones used to rule this valley and are destined to return to the land of the living every 30 years…her time has come, Jack…if she does not return disaster will strike this realm and the next…Jack, she cannot return without your help…
Jack: What will happen if I don’t help her return?
Oracle: The realm will become more desolate than before, Old Ones have old souls, that remember all things that have happened from the beginning of time…only you can help her, Jack…she cannot survive without your help, do not give in to the evil…this realm and the next need your help…get Rosalind out of that portal and into the realm of the living…
Jack: Rosalind? Who’s that?
Oracle: Rosalind is the name she will be given when she is born…
Jack: Born? O, yeah. Sooo, how can I save her?
Oracle: You must return to the realm of the living as yourself but cannot stay for more than 12 hours…for if you do…you will be destined to live out your life until you die, again…then a new leader will have to be found to take your place…before leaving appoint a new leader…perhaps your eldest child, Jak…or perhaps one of your other children…Raven, Taylor, Khrystyne, Zakary, Annabelle, Valentyna, or Jay…for they are all old enough to rule your kingdom…choose wisely…that is all…
Jack: No! Wait! Who should I pick? Please, tell me who shall be the best ruler!
Oracle: It is your choice…I cannot help you…the decision is yours…I have no say…
Jack: Tell me old woman, who would be the best ruler! Who would make this forsaken land prosper!? Who?!
Oracle: You must choose…as you have been told, one of your children is the Chosen One…the one who will make this land prosper for all eternity…how old are your children now?
Jack: Jak is 24, Raven is 24, Khrystyne is 18, Taylor is 20, Valentyna is 16, Zakary is 15, Annabelle is 15, and Jay is 14.
Oracle: Twins…how many pairs of twins do you have…?
Jack: So far two. Two pairs, why?
Oracle: Twins would be very lucky for us, if one of the pairs were the Chosen Ones, then there would be twice the help for us…
Jack: You mean you don’t know who the Chosen One is? But…aren’t you all knowing?
Oracle: Yes and no…I know many things, but not all things…please come again…another time…
(Oracle watches as Jack exits her house then starts concocting a special potion)
Oracle: Now…to give Jack’s children this potion…how can I do it…tea…that’s it! At tea time. Now to bind the spell to the potion…
(Oracle moves aside a curtain to reveal Rose frozen in rose quartz)
(Scene returns to Jack walking home pondering what the oracle said)
Jack: I wonder what she meant by evil? Who should I pick to be the new ruler? Where is Rose? So many questions but no answers. (sigh)
(Jack returns to his home to find at his door there is a basket)
Jack: Now, what do we have here?
(He lifts the basket to find a cute little fuzzy white kitten)
Jack: How cute! I bet Annabelle would love this.
(He carries the kitten, basket and all, into the house)
(inside the house he finds Raven weaving, Jak fencing with Jay, Annabelle playing her cello, Krystyne and Taylor singing along with Annabelle’s playing, Valentyna studying, and Zakary playing Tomb Raider II on the computer)
Jack: Look what I found!
(The kids crowd around Jack)
Khrystyne: What is it?
Taylor: Yeah, what is it?
Valentyna: I’ve never seen one of those before.
Jak: Father, what is that? I, being the oldest, should have a right to know before these insignificant little children should know.
Raven: Jak, you aren’t the oldest, I’m the exact same age as you are. And you know it! And stop showing off with your fancy language. I hardly know what you’re saying, and I taught it to you!
Jak: Sorry. And you know I’m older by one whole second!
Raven: Ooooo, one whole second! Yeah sure, whatever you say. I can just imagine it now…
Jak: What? What, Raven, what?!
Raven: I’d say in about two more years this will be you…
I, Jak of the Underworld, known to my people as the most beautiful and radiant man in the whole kingdom, would like to be like the Master of all Large Things and marry the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, no wait, universe and live by the beautiful and deadly River Styx in a house that is bigger than the first house of my father, and a lot darker…
Jak: WOW!!!! Who’s that? She’s beautiful!
(They all look towards where he is pointing)
Raven: She is beautiful. Oh, and it’s rude to interrupt…
Jak: She is to be my wife, whether it’s the last thing I ever do, ever.
Raven: Hey, Khrystyne, don’t you just hate the fact that Jak has such a big problem with hormones?
Khrystyne: Yeah, he can’t let a pretty girl pass him by without staring and gawking at her. See, look. It’s embarrassing to take him anywhere.
Raven: Hey Jjjaaaaaakkk! Are you still on the same planet as the rest of us? You know, your brothers and sisters? Khrystyne, I think we lost him.
Khrystyne: Oh no! How can we get him back?
Taylor: How about smacking him? I’m volunteering to do it. I always wanted to hit my older brother for all those times he made fun of me.
Valentyna: Calm down, Taylor. You really don’t want to do that, because he’ll end up trying to kill you for messing up his face, got it?
Taylor: Yeah, Val. But it’s sooooo tempting. Just look at him. He’s in la-la land and we don’t have to tell him that I hit him. Say that he asked her out without knowing it, because he went into this trance like state and started following her. Then she got mad and slapped him.
Valentyna: That wouldn’t work because he would have to move. Plus, he’ll be really upset and apologize to her for no real reason and look like a fool.
Jay: Val, why don’t we just leave him. After all, what has he done for you that was so nice, lately?
Val: Nothing, I guess…. But, Jay, that really is kinda mean. How would you like it if it were you?
Jay: I wouldn’t like it. Where are Annabelle and Zak? They were here just a second ago.
Zak: Hey, guys, look who we found.
Jay: What, Annabelle?
Annabelle: Fine, mistake Zak for me. That’s really nice.
Jay: Sorry, Zak, Annabelle. So, who is it?
Zak: Guys, meet…
Annabelle: Kassandra Lite-Strom.
Taylor: Who? Zak, Annabelle, who’s Kassandra Litestrom?
Zak: Tay, Annabelle and I, have taken the liberty of tracking down Jak’s soon to be wife, Kassandra Lite dash Strom. She has agreed to meet him. And here she is the beautiful, intelligent and cunning, Kassandra Lite-Strom!
Kassandra: Hi! I’m Kassandra. So, which one of you dashing young men is Jak Dawson?
Jak: I…am.
Raven: Welcome back to Earth, Jak! Meet, the woman you swore was going to be your wife, Kassandra Lite-Strom.
Jak: Hi, Kassandra. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Kassandra: Um. . .hi? I mean, hi! So, your Jak, huh? Well, nice to meet you. Um. . .where did you originally come from?
Jak: What do you mean? I was born here…in the Underworld.
Kassandra: Here? Oh. . .I was born in Indiana, a state in the US.
Jak: Indiana? You mean you weren’t born here? Cool.
Kassandra: Yeah, sure. So, you're a native of the Underworld? I bet that is really neat.
Jak: Uh, yeah…
Jack: Excuse me, but if you don’t mind, I need someone to take this kitten so I can go save your mother.
Zak: Mom? Why?
Annabelle: What happened to her?
Jack: She sort of needs to be reborn. It really isn’t that big a deal.
Raven: What? How could that happen?
Jack: It turns out she is one of the last remaining Old Ones and…
Khrystyne: Old Ones? But they don’t exist any more!
Jack: It turns out they do. So, who can I leave in charge while I’m gone?
Khrystyne: Me!
Annabelle: No, Me!
Jak: Me! I’m the oldest!
Raven: No, me! I’m smarter than all of them put together!
Zak: I would like to be the ruler, father. Please?
Valentyna: May I?
Jay: Dad, can I have the spot? I promise to make you proud!
Taylor: How about me?
Jack: I pick…I pick…I pick whoever can answer this riddle! What has four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?
Jay: Is it a horse?
Valentyna: I don’t know…
Zak: Is it…
Taylor: Shadows!
Khrystyne: Can I get a clue?
Jak: I have no idea…
Annabelle: Do you think this is easy? Or hard?
Raven: It’s man! (Together with Zak)
Zak: Man!
Taylor: Man? How?
Jack: Correct! But which one of you? Kassandra? Could you choose one of these two? Which one? Zak or Raven?
Kassandra: I choose. . .both! They can take turns ruling. One day Zak. Then the next Raven. And so on.
Zak: Never! I will not and can not work with HER!!!!
Kassandra: You, don’t have to. You won’t even have to see her.
Raven: I accept the challenge, father. Is there anything I need to know before you leave?
Jack: I don’t think so. Well, I guess this is good-bye. Good-bye everyone! And Kassandra, I give you permission to remove anyone that is not helping from the ruling system. Bye!!!!
(Jack leaves to search for Rose. After finding she was trapped between the 3rd and 4th dimension, he goes to retrieve her only to find that she has left for the realm of the living already, or so we think. Now someone has to help him escape! Meanwhile at the castle…)
Oracle: Now that Jack’s stupid children have consumed the potion and he is stuck between dimensions, I can take over!
Zak: Not so fast! My brothers and sisters may be stupid enough to drink your potion, but I am not!
Annabelle: Nor I!
Khrystyne: Don’t forget me!
Oracle: Fine…then I will just have to take care of you myself!
(The Oracle shoots a ray of light at them and they burn up into ashes)
Oracle: Ha ha ha! Now there is no one to stop me!
(The Oracle sits in the throne thinking of what to do next, then a blinding light flashes before her eyes blinding her. She moves her head around trying to see only to fail as she feels her body slowly returning to stone)
Raven: Wow! I killed the Oracle. I didn’t know that Dad’s powers as the Master of Darkness were so powerful. I only hoped to knock her unconscious for a few hours. I must free Dad!
(Jack appears out of no where)
Raven: Dad, you’re back!
Jack: What happened?
Raven: The Oracle tried to take over the kingdom by trapping you and Rose and trying to kill us! I survived and managed to master the Powers of Darkness by accident…
Jack: She did what? How are you brothers and sisters?
Raven: Not so good. The potion got to Val, Tay, Jak, and Jay. And she burned Annabelle, Zak, and Krystyne to ashes…I’m going to really miss them.
Jack: Actually, did you check the potion people?
Raven: No, I thought they were all dead so I didn’t bother to check them…
Jak: Ow, my head hurts!
Taylor: Stop yelling!
Valentyna: Where am I?
Jay: What happened? Why’s everyone yelling?
Raven: Jak! Jay! Taylor! Valentyna! You’re all alive!
Jak: Where’s Kassandra?
Kassandra: I’m right here, still alive after all that. But I’m afraid, that Sylvia the Blond One Who Watches Children didn’t do as well as me.
Raven: Sylvia? Oh, dear, I need to hire a new servant then. Oh, Kassandra, would you do me the honor of being my Royal Adviser, A.K.A. Grand Vizier?
Kassandra: Yes. But isn’t your father the ruler?
Raven: For a while but not for much longer.
Kassandra: Oh. What are you going to do with him?
Raven: He’ll be happy with the fate he will soon meet. So be happy.
Kassandra: Okay, but there’s one thing. Master Dawson, would you do me the honor of allowing me to marry your son, Jak?
Jack: Um…I’ll have to think about it…………………………okay. Jak do you accept Kassandra’s offer?
Jak: Yeah. I do. So, when do you want to get married? How about sometime in Min?
Kassandra: Okay. But do you think you can pay for most of the stuff for the wedding? I’m sort of broke. And, anyway, you’re rich.
Jack: Actually, Raven is the new leader so you have to ask her.
Jak: So, sis, do you think you can pay?
Raven: Um…maybe. How much do you need?
Kassandra: One. . .maybe two thousand.
Raven: That’s it? Okay, just tell me when you need it. Oh, and by the way, do you happen to have any brothers?
Kassandra: No, sorry. But I know someone you might like.
Raven: Really? Who? Maybe, I know him.
Kassandra: I doubt it. His name is Lance Lite-Strom.
Raven: But, I thought you didn’t have any brothers.
Kassandra: He’s not my brother. He’s my cousin from Meekitonia. He has black hair and blue eyes. He died in his sleep, he was suffocated, this was in the year 1999. So, he looks about 20. But, he’s really 26.
Raven: Okay, how can I meet him?
Kassandra: I’ll invite him to the wedding. Mine and Jak’s of course. And I’ll introduce you two. Okay?
Raven: Okay.
Three months later…
DO YOU JAK CHANCE DAWSON TAKE KASSANDRA JESSICA LITE-STROM TO BE YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED WIFE?
Jak: I do.
DO YOU KASSANDRA JESSICA LITE-STROM TAKE JAK CHANCE DAWSON AS YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND?
Kassandra: I do.
I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE. YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE.
Ten minutes later…
Kassandra: Jak this is Lance, my cousin. Lance this is Jak, my husband, as you should know. And this is his sister, Raven. Raven’s the new ruler of the Underworld.
Lance: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jak. And also to meet you, Your Majesty.
Raven: Call me Raven.
Lance: Okay, Raven. So, how did you get to be ruler instead of your brother? After all, he is older than you.
Raven: I…how did you know he’s older?
Lance: Um…I…I can read people’s minds when they're really projecting. And Jak is really projecting that he should be king and not you, because he’s older.
Raven: Is that true, Jak?
Jak: Um, I guess so.
Raven: Why?
Jak: I…I don’t know.
Lance: If I might cut in, it’s not his fault. I don’t think he was expecting anyone to hear that.
Raven: How did you learn to do that?
Lance: After I came here, I met an old magician named Merlin. He taught me many things, this was one of them. He also taught me to control the elements, heal living things, crystal gazing, fortune telling, ruse, invisibility, anti-elemental attacks, revive living things, defense magicks, and other things. He was a great teacher.
Raven: Would you ever consider working as an oracle?
Lance: Depends who it’s for. If it’s for you, yes. If it’s for your father, no, unless I can see you every day. Will you marry me?
Raven: This is all so sudden! Yes!
Lance: Okay, I’ll work for you. But, what happened to your last oracle?
Raven: I killed her.
Lance: Why?
Raven: She tried to take over the kingdom by killing everyone in the royal family.
Lance: Oh. Don’t worry, I’ll never do that. Ever…
