It was raining and storming, the darkest day in his entire life, he had traveled back to New Mecca to do the hardest thing he ever had to do, to say goodbye to his love, his Jack, even though she had been going by Kyra the final days of her life, she was and would forever be Jack to him. He loved her though he never gave any hints to her about the way he had felt for her, it was still there inside him, and she had been mostly responsible for making him have a conscious and for him loving her the way he did. Riddick found what was left of Imam's garden and with Lajjun, Imam's wife, he buried his beloved Jack in the garden. Lajjun was crying, she had lost not only a husband to the Necros but now she had lost a daughter. Riddick had given Jack a nice burial, one she would have deemed of nice anyway since it was Riddick doing all the work himself. Once he had covered her up with a heavy blanket of dirt that she would forever sleep under, he fell to his knees,
"I love you Jack, I'm sorry now that I never took the time to really admit it to you," Riddick stopping at that, he wanted to say so much more, he wanted to say that there would never be another person who loved him like she did, or believe in the in the con he was like she believed in him, she never cared that he was a con, she still looked up to him, even came looking for his ass. Riddick put his hand over his face, he cried just like he had the first time when he held her in his arms while she was dying and her final words would haunt him till the day he died:
"I was always with you."
He had seen a tear leak from the corner of her eye, he wondered if it was from the pain she was in or if she had been afraid to leave him all alone in the big darkness of a hole he was used to: space, or maybe it was because she had realized that she had made such a big impact on his life, and she had died and was scared that she would undo everything she had made in him. No matter now, she was gone, there wasn't coming back from death, Lajjun placed a hand on his shoulder,
"Come inside, I'll fix some tea," she sniffled. Riddick put his big hand on her soft gentle hand.
"I need to leave, I don't want to stir any trouble up, I just brought her back home, the one home that Imam and yourself allowed her to have, thank you for giving her that," Riddick strongly.
"She was a good kid, we were happy to have her in our life," Lajjun trying to smile. Aereon, an elemental came floating into the garden,
"It doesn't have to end this way Riddick, there is a way to back to the beginning of it all, back to the time when you weren't even a glimmer in your parents eyes, you can save the Furyans, but you're going to need help, we can send you back in time, to save your people, but you will need one woman's help, you shall train her, work with her and together defeat those that killed the Furyans," Aereon strongly. Riddick stared at the elemental,
"It's not my fight," Riddick getting in her face, he turned and walked away,
"Not even to save your beloved Jack's life?" Aereon strongly. He stopped and stared at the ground,
~Is that even possible, to change the outcome of her life?~ Riddick thought, he turned his head around to look at her,
"Are you saying that if I save the Furyans her life will be spared?" Riddick confused.
"It was the Necros that killed her wasn't it? If you go back and erratic all the Necros, Jack's life will be spared, and your name will be cleared if you allow it to be," Aereon strongly. Riddick didn't have to think anymore about the situation,
"I'll do it, but not for the Furyans, I do it for Jack," Riddick growled.
"Your race should matter more to you than a simple girl," Aereon explained,
"Look woman, Jack wasn't just some simple girl," Riddick growled,
"It is done, you shall have your Jack back in due time, you have to come with me now," Aereon about to leave,
"Riddick, wait, take this," Lajjun giving him a picture. Riddick stared at it, the picture had Riddick, Jack when she first came to New Mecca, and Imam, it was right after Riddick had saved them from the monsters on Hades, that's what Jack had named the planet they had crashed on and they had been the only survivors, Riddick couldn't understand how Imam could keep his religious faith even after her had lost so much on that planet.
"Let me ask you something, how can you keep your faith in your god even after you have lost everyone?" Riddick narrowing his eyes at Lajjun her arm went around her child, the only thing she had left in the universe.
"I still have my health and my child, our god has plans for all of us, even you Riddick, we will see our loved ones one day, take care of her Riddick," Lajjun crying again, he nodded and put the picture in his cargo pants pocket, as he walked away with Aereon.
With the Elementals
The elementals had everything set up, which was a chair of some sorts.
"Please, sit Riddick," Aereon motioning to the chair, Riddick slowly walked to the chair, he looked at the chair,
"Its quite alright Riddick," Aereon seriously, Riddick hesitated a little longer and finally sat down.
"This woman lives on Earth, when you wake, you'll have the understanding and knowledge of their dead language," Aereon putting the cap covering on his bald head.
"Who exactly am I looking…" Riddick going under, and then in a few seconds his body disappeared. It seemed like forever to Riddick but he was finally laying in front of a house, and of course it was raining. Riddick grumbled as he lifted himself up off the ground, and stood on his own two feet and stared at the house through the storm.
