Chapter 3 Jack's legs felt like they were made of rubber. He fell onto his knees… his wife was dead… why… who could do this… it had to of been him. The man in the forest next to the goddess pond… but why would he do this? Jack was staring at the floor weeping as he thought of all of this. He turned his head up and saw his wife staring at him with empty eyes. Jack stood up. He had to go see the Harris. But as Jack turned around to leave, there in the doorway was the man in the black suit and the hat. "Are you starting to feel the pain that you have caused my master so greatly? I hope you continue to suffer like this," Jack couldn't stand this man's talk any longer. Slowly Jack pulled out his mythic ax… slowly… "Soon enough all of the people you love will be dead. I've heard great things about your son. Maybe I should stop by Forget-Me-Not Valley and pay him a visit…." "THAT"S ENOUGH!!!" Jack now was charging toward the man with his ax in hand. With one swoop with it, the deed was done. The man's body was now split in half… no, was over with. Jack slowly picked up the torn clothes and looked at the body of the man. He looked as though he were a skeleton, his skin was wrapped tightly around him with no hair to be seen. Just a skinny, pale man. Disgusted, Jack decided this was his chance to get help. As fast as his legs could carry him, Jack ran into town, hoping to find Harris. Around this time of day Harris was usually at this time of day in this kind of weather Harris was at Gotz house, which was nice because it was so nearby. The journey still seemed as though it took forever, the rain was pounding on Jacks head as he ran and mud was splashing up and down everywhere he went. Finally, he was there and he slammed the door open. "What's the matter Jack?" Harris asked. He and Gotz were sitting quietly at a table drinking tea. "My wife, she's dead!" Jack had no intention of being polite at a time like this. Gotz and Harris both sat the staring at Jack with the most horrified look on their faces. "She's up at the mountain cottage, she is on the wall!" Jack was putting out more tears right now than he ever had before. "Stay here, I will go look." And with that, Harris ran out of the door. Gotz, still looking shocked, walked up to Jack and tried to comfort him. "Jack, I am really sorry. She was a good woman." Gotz said. He was normally in a bad mood, and Jack could tell that Gotz really meant this. "Can I get you some tea?" "Yes, that… that would be great…" And with that Jack sat quietly down on the floor. He watched the clock carefully, but it really seemed like time wasn't passing at all. Finally, Harris returned with a disturbed expression on his face. "Jack, I can't believe you could do that to your own wife!" Both Gotz and Jack looked surprised at this. "What do you mean? I didn't-" "Jack, you are going to have to come with me to the town jail" "But I didn't do it! The man who did do it… his body is laying right up there!" Jack was becoming annoyed. "All that I found was your wife's bloody body on the floor with your ax stuck in her chest with your fingerprints on it. Now come with me!" Harris then took a pair of hand-cuffs and put them on Jack. He couldn't believe it… the man's body should be up there… and the fact that Jack had left his ax up there… how could this be happening?to be continued

The Amazing AdventureWritten By Agent39-Chapter 4 -It turned out that Mineral Town had a jail, one that nobody knew about besides Harris or the Mayor. Jack had been in there for a week now, and it was nothing short of hell. Harris was not being the nice person he used to be. Jack overheard him talking to the mayor saying, "Don't tell anyone that we have him. This is good stuff we have going on, ya know? All of the people in town are scared that they will be attacked by Jack next, and they will all come flocking to us for protection. We'll be the heros of the town..." "But what about Gotz? He knows." Jack heard the mayor saying. "I silenced him up... he won't be talkin'." And that was the last Jack heard of that conversation. It was despicable what Harris was doing. Not only was he trying to become hero of the day, Harris also came into Jack's room on a daily basis to beat him. It was all so horrible. For now, Jack could only sit there and wait for death.Jack sat there on the rusty bench in the jail-cell. The room was covered in mold... and the bricks on the wall looked like a person... no, they couldn't be a person. But the more and more Jack stared at the wall, the more and more an image started to appear. "Hello Jack," It was the Harvest Goddess. Jack wasn't going insane. "I have been watching the trouble you have been going through. I have come to help you with and escape and a story." The more she spoke, the more Jacks spirit was raised. He was going to be set free!

(part 4Continued) "Jack, I have a story I need to tell you," the goddess stood there looking at Jack with a look of pity on her face. "You have been caught up in all of this, so you have every right to know. Many years ago, this town was just founded. It was a prosperous town with friendly people and atmosphere. Yet there was one man, a wicked man, who wanted the town all to himself. His name was Tnega. He started a very prosperous farm of his own, of course it wouldn't have been so prosperous if all of the farms in the area weren't mysteriously sabotaged. Tnega soon earned enough money, he bought the entire town. He put all of the townsfolk into slavery and forced them to work on his farm. I couldn't just stand by and watch, I had to do something. I gathered with the Harvest Sprites and the Kappa. Each one of us used our powers and made 4 Gems. The Kappa made the Kappa gem, I make the goddess gem, the Harvest Sprites made the gem of Truth, and then we all combined to make the teleport stone. Of course, we are not to interfere with the actions of man, so we could not stop the evil man on ourselves. So we gave the Gems to a young man named Jack. He then had the power to give the other slaves strength and the power to rebel against Tnega. Tnega heard about this. He knew that he couldn't stand the power of the four gems, so he decided to make his own. He called upon ancient demons living underneath his farm to give him his own gems, ones that would be even more powerful than the other ones. The demons did so, but in return they feasted upon Tnega's soul. And anyone to use the Gems given to Tnega, called the necro-gems, would also lose their soul. So after losing his soul, Tnega was left weak, even though the jewels were powerful. With the last of his strength, Tnega used the tools to create a demon servant, one that would care for him until he returned to full strength. I believe that you have met this demon, am I correct?" Jack nodded, a look of horror inside of him. He had seen and fought a demon.... "In the time being, the man named Jack took control of Tnega's farm and freed everyone in town. Around 52 years ago I believe that he passed on the farm to you. He did so because he thought that his strength might be inside you. To make sure that you had what it takes, he destroyed the gems and hid them across two mines and around town. If you could retreive all of the gems the town would be safe from Tnega forever. And as it seems, he is now returning to power. You must destroy him and stop this town from being put into slavery once again." Then with that, the harvest goddess made a door appear out of thin air. "Go through here to get back to your house," she said. But Jack just sat there staring at the harvest goddess. There was no way that he really had to fight some evil guy who wanted to enslave the town! He had never seen any violence the whole time he lived here! But, Jack had no time to think about this. He had to get home. But as he made his way over to the door, he was stopped by the Harvest Goddess. "By the way, your wife's funeral is today. I thought you like to know." But Jack's mouth was too dry to say anything back, so he nodded and walked through the door, into the darkness back to page 1
