Hi Dennis,
you can use the EventStore without using anything else. However, you will need to append DomainEventMessages to it. These message contain an aggregate identifier and sequence number. This aggregate identifier could be an arbitrary value (I have seed the UUID cafebabe-cafe-babe-cafe-babecafebabe more than once), but you will still need to assign an incremental sequence number to it.
In Axon 3, the design of the EventStore API (not so much the storage format) will change. In that version you will be able to append EventMessages (so without the aggregate identifier) as well. I am not sure if you can wait for Axon 3 to appear for this project. I am currently estimating the release at end 2015, beginning 2016, depending on howmany PR's I receive ;-)
Cheers,
Allard
