I'M BACK! My Riddick Muse has finally come home. Sorry my minions I was in an extreme slump with this one and I almost gave up completely. I just couldn't figure out how I wanted to continue. So I took a break and in the mean time I worked on a few other of my stories that I have going. So far I have only published one for There Will Be Blood but I have two others started, one for Supernatural and one for Harry Potter. The Harry Potter one was by request. Only when I get this story farther along will I publish the Harry Potter or Supernatural stories. I think this story will only have about 5 more chapters for Furyan Hope and then it will be finished. But there may be a sequel.

Kyra's POV

I watched from the top of the tower as the transport ship grew from a tiny speck in the sky to its true size. That was Riddick's ship. I could feel that he was on it. This would all be over soon. He had come for me. I could feel the hope start to swell up inside of me but I refused to let it build. I pushed it down and buried it deep. I let thoughts of how Riddick left us, how Imam was gone, and worst of all, memories of my stepfather.

I watched as the ship traveled over us to the outskirts of the city. I was so lost in thought that I jerked when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Althi standing there with a small smile on her face.

"Did you hear me child?" She asked.

I shook my head no at her and she gave me a larger grin. " I didn't think so. I asked you if you were ready to go greet your Lord Marshall?" She motioned her arm out towards the staircase that lead to the ground.

I gave a quick last glance over my shoulder to the sky, hoping that the vessel had not left. It hadn't. it was near the edge of the city heading towards a landing area near some sort of pavilion.

I turned back to Althi. She had already moved to the top of the staircase. "Follow me, your highness." She started her decent before I could say anything.

For being an ancient she was extremely spry. I had to almost jog to keep up with her fast pace. Before a moment passed we were down the stairs and on our way to the landing area. I noticed as we walked that whispers stepped out from the shadows and fell into line behind me. When I would look at one it would quickly bow its head and wait until I passed to follow.

Riddick's POV

The ride on the transport ship wasn't too bad. It was a little crowded with four people, two of whom were large men, and a huge, god awful looking casket. Depending on how you looked at it, it was wither beautiful or hideous. For jack it was hideous. For a dumbass Lord Marshall I guess you could say that it fit the bill.

I let my thoughts wonder from the casket to what I would do with Jack when I got her back. Ravishing her on a bed was too traditional for animals like us, maybe on the floor or against the wall would be a good idea. Fuck it, I'll do her both ways. Or maybe I'll be nice and take her back to hellion prime and let her relax a little, then I'll drag her ass down into that big bathtub.

I was brought back to reality when I felt my cock twitch at that thought. Maybe I should wait until her body is back on the breathing side before I fuck her brains out.

I stole a glance at Vaako before I would chance a smirk. I don't think that he has the faintest idea of what is in store for him today. Part of me is itching for a blood bath and part of me is kinda wants to be able to walk away peacefully.

"My Lord." Vaako's voice broke my thoughts. "We will be there shortly. We will land in just a few moments. We have been instructed to meet the ancients there at the pylons." As he spoke he held out his hand to gesture to a stadium of some sort. "That is where the ceremony shall take place."

I heard Dame Vaako snicker low under her breath.

We flew over the towering city of the dead in a blur. I could barely make out the specs as people on the street. Soon we had passed the city and Vaako was landing the ship on a landing pad at the edge of the stadium.

I stood to make my way to the back of the ship but Vaako stood in front of me. "My Lord, I believe that you need to go first to make the arrangements. I shall send the sacrifice out at your command and Dame Vaako and I shall follow with the casket."

I glared at him for a moment then I saw him wink. He meant for them to hear. He wanted her to think he was going to sneak up on me.

I stepped past him making sure that I ran into his shoulder with mine. I made my way to the door of the ship before I turned back "Follow on my command."

I stepped out into the Underverse. Everything was dark and as I took a look around I realized that I could probably do without my goggles. I smiled as I pulled them from my head. I looked around the clearing that we were in.

It was a large area with a dark stone floor and pillars made of the same stone. In the center was an alter cut of the same stone. It was wide and had deep groves cut into it that ran from the top to the sides and down into channels in the ground.

I was tracing them with my finger when I felt a presence behind me. "Hello Riddick." I turned to see a dark woman standing there. "Those groves are to collect the blood from the Lord Marshall when we convert him to the Holy Half Dead. In exchange for his gifts he must leave part of his soul with us." She smiled at me. "But that is not why you are here, is it?" her smile grew wider. She motioned towards the ship. "Come let us not waste any more time. It is far too precious."

"Vaako, bring the girl." My voice came out as a growl.

The girl was the first to come out. Followed by Vaako with Dame Vaako hanging on his arm and behind him floated the casket, or so it seemed.

The casket was carried by ghosts. Half naked creatures that resembled humans. They brought it to the edge of the pavilion and sat it down. They opened it and gently took her body out. Slowly and carefully they carried her towards me and laid her down on the alter.

One of them adjusted her hair and then straightened her robe. It turned to me and bowed low before it back away towards the edge of the clearing. It took its place beside the rest of them in a circle around us. I could tell that Vaako and I were the only ones that saw them.

The woman moved to stand beside the alter. "My name is Althi and I am the ancient that will be conducting this ceremony. But first there is some business that we must attend to. Vaako, if you will." She waved her hand at him.

He bowed and spun to face Essa. "My bride-" he started but I cut him off.

"Not so fast, Vaako. I changed my mind." Vaako spun back around to glare at me. "I don't want to use the girl." I motioned towards her then pointed to the ship. "Go back to the ship and wait for us."

I smiled at Essa. "I want her soul."

Vaako bowed "As you wish my Lord." He grabbed her around the waist and started towards me.

Essa shrieked "YOU TRAITOR! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" she fought against him with all that she had. A well timed swing from her arm sent her elbow into his eye and he dropped her. As she fell she managed to get his sword from his side and in the blink of an eye she had run him through with it.

The sword came through his chest a few inches from his heart. She cackled as she watched him fall to his knees. "I always keep my promises dear husband." She stalked around front of him.

I was stalking up behind her when I saw Vaako's eyes shift from Essa to behind me. "a sacrifice is a sacrifice." An ice cold voice spoke. Essa and I both turned to stare. Jack was slowly moving forward. She looked like a cat stalking her prey. Then she made her move.

She shot past me and as she went by she grabbed her raptor claw shiv. She spun and the first slice separated the skin of Dame Vaako's stomach. She spun again this time behind Essa's back as she staggered forward. The shiv cut a chunk out of the back of her leg and she fell to the ground.

Jack let her set there and she walked over to Vaako. He looked up at her then he bowed his head. "My queen, have mercy on me." He look up just in time to see her nod.

Before I could say anything Jack raised her shiv and brought it down in a sweeping motion across the front of Vaako's throat. He jerked then fell over. His body lifeless. Dame Vaako gasped as she watched him die.

I smirked at the carnage that Jack had left. I turned to Dame Vaako. "What do we do with this one?" I asked more to myself than anyone else.

Jack answered back. "Don't worry. I have a plan. Don't kill her yet. I need her." She motioned for some of the ghosts to come forward.

They bowed and grabbed the heap of dead flesh that was Lord Vaako. They carried him to the alter that Jack was just on. They removed the sword from his chest and stripped him of his armor before placing him on it.

The woman went to alter and tore away vaako's shirt. She took a small blade from her robes as she turned to Jack. "Finish what has been started, my child." She motion at vaako as she spoke.

Jack walked over to Dame Vaako who was bleeding badly and yelling profanities at us. She grabbed her by the hair and drug her to the center of the circle. Once she had her where she wanted her she let her fall to the ground and stood over her.

"How many chances have we given you people to leave us alone and you never learn. You will never learn. You continue to try to kill us but we can't be killed." Jack motioned at me and then to herself. "He cannot be easily killed and even if you do kill us there is no promise that we will stay dead." She smiled evilly down at her.

I smirked at her little performance. Dame Vaako tried to swing at Jack but jack pulled away and swiped her blade down her arm. Dame Vakko hissed in pain.

"Would you like to know a secret?" Jack asked her.

"Fuck off!" Essa hissed.

"That's not nice but I'll take it as a yes. You, my loyal necromonger bitch, have been fucking a furyan! Here let me explain." She grinned. "Once upon a time a long ass time ago, some dick bags called the necromongers landed on this planet that was minding their own fucking business and didn't do jack shit to them. The necros fucked the place up but before they did they managed to fuck with one of the worst families on it. His family." She motioned back towards me. "And then a decade later they went back because the dick bags found a colony of Furyans had formed. And guess what!" She pointed to Vaako. "He was one of the children taken from that colony!"

She stood and stepped away from Dam Vaako. "The events leading up to this point have more than proved where Vaako's true allegiance lied. He was Furyan to the core. He only played along because he was blood hungry and his rank allowed him to kill without being questioned. You were his downfall. "

"That is my legacy then. I can die with a smile on my face knowing that Vaako is dead too." She hissed the words back at Jack and then she tried to spit on her. Jack was too fast though.

Jack got back on the ground at her level. "You will die here. You will never leave this planet. However that won't be a smile on your face but a scream of agony. You see Vaako's soul was the one that brought mine back to my body. His wasn't a willing sacrifice and his heart was not damaged so the power was more than enough. Now having Vaako dead was not the plan and it is what it is but I am not going to waste another unwilling sacrifice when I have one right here. So I am going to slit your throat and let your soul be exchanged for Vaako's as I watch the light fade from your eyes." Jack's voice was ice cold and she sounded so different. She sounded like me.

Part of me wanted to intervene but I didn't. I decided to hang back and try not to draw attention to myself yet.

Not even a moment had passed when Jack made her move. She was fast and Dame Vaako didn't have a chance to prepare. Jack brought her raptor claw blade down and across Dame Vaako's throat. She gasped and fell into a pool of her own blood.

I smirked and stepped carefully up to her. I wasn't sure what to say so I asked her the same thing I did before she died. "Are you with me Kira?"
