Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick, except for Kyra after the movies. I do own Zara, and Dannie, as well as any other character that you find in this story that were not in the movies.

It's been fourteen years since Dannie saw him last. She met him once after she turned five, the first birthday without her mother. Zara, her mother, was beautiful, but then every little girl thinks that about their mother, atleast that is what she thinks as far as the memories she has of her are concerned. Zara had short, golden brown, curly hair, sapphire blue eyes, a well toned body, and she stood, from what Dannie was told, at around five foot, nine inches.

Dannie was told stories about her mother from her Aunt Kyra. She's not really her aunt, but she was like a sister to Zara, so that was just what Dannie had always called her.

Your mother and I were pissed off at your dad, and she wanted to find him however she could so she could bring him back to you so she could make you happy. Do you remember that birthday wish you had when you were little? Well you mother couldn't stand seeing you so unhappy, so she went with me to go find him. To bring him back and to make sure that nothing happened to me. While we were gone we were captured and sent to slam for some bad things that we did while trying to find him.

The Lord Marshall had Riddick down on the ground and was about to finish him off, when she ran up behind the Lord Marshall with a spear and plunged into his back to get his attention off of Riddick. She accomplished her mission, and she paid the price for her quick actions. She was thrown into a pillar with daggers sticking out all around it and she contracted a fatal wound. She died in Riddick's arms after he killed the Lord Marshall.

To Dannie, her mom seemed like the kind of person every little girl should hope to be like, strong, courageous, and beautiful. But Dannie always believed that her father didn't seem like the type that her mother would have even given a second glance to. He was rude, arrogant, and an escaped convicted murderer.

Richard B. Riddick, escaped convict, murderer. The man who saved your mother and myself, as well as Imam, from a planet of unspeakable horrors, and the one whom saved this planet and many afterwards from destruction. He saved your mother and I from a fate worse than death, but was unable to stop her from her own demise. Your one and only father.

Zara had told stories to Kyra about her brother, Dannie's Uncle Jonn's. Kyra never liked telling those stories to Dannie, but he was apart of her family, so it didn't seem all that right to keep something that important hidden from her.

Zara told me this story once long ago. She knew that her brother, Jonns, had been chasing Riddick, and after the first meeting, Riddick had nearly killed him, but missed the sweet spot which left him alive and the doctors ended up leaving a piece of the shiv in his back. All this happened years before he actually captured Riddick. He couldn't go back after him until he healed back up, and during that time he got hooked on morphine which changed him completely. He turned from a kind, loving brother to a cold, calculating, distant man who would have hit her just as soon as look at her if he didn't have a good spike. On that planet everyone thought that he was a cop, but it turned out that he was a merck and your father was his payday.

Dannie knew that her uncle had some serious problems, but he was, after all her uncle, and at least he was on the right side of the law, even if he did have to bend some of the rules to get his criminal. Mercks were the necessary part of the universe. They helped the cops get the part of their jobs done that their oaths would prevent them from doing because it went outside of the law. All her uncle was trying to do was bring him in so he could serve his time, and Riddick tried to kill him.

He is the reason why Dannie does what she does.
