Chapter One

Her body laid incased in stone above the ground. The crypt was to be her final resting place. Kyra, Jack, all one in the same. Brave unto the end. She will be missed.
He sat in the corner of the crypt in the shadows. Silent and solemn mourning the death of a sister, a friend, a soul mate. Cursing himself for ever knowing the beauty that was Kyra. Wishing he had died in her stead. The will of the lord, the underverse, any of the bullshit that fled people's mouth matter little to him. She was dead.
A silken flow of whispering form entered the darkness of the tomb with a soft light. He shielded his eyes, "Be gone witch before I put out your damned light." He growled.
"Threats Riddick, from you?" Aereon laughed, "Oh how the fallen Riddick weeps over the dead," she waved her hand, "pathetic."
In a flash Riddick had a knife to her throat, "pathetic now elemental?" he grinded, "tell me what do you see now?" Aereon flowed away distancing herself from his raging temper. She had he response from him she was momentarily satisfied.
"What bullshit are you here to peddle now." He scraped the knife along the stone wall. "Another race to protect lives to save."
"There are many loyal Necromongers still hoping for the chance to kill you and begin anew. Continue their faith against all others." She replied watching him pace the small room that had been his prison.
"Let them try. They too will die."
"All things happen for a reason Riddick. All things that begin must come to an end."
"No!" He roared painfully, "Not her!"
"Why not?"
"Twice! Twice I have failed!" He raged, "Not for me..." His words now barely a whisper.
"So instead you continue on barely living for what. The memory of a girl who life you saved and in return she saved yours."
"I am better off alone." He replied his voice husky, filled with emotion.
"Is there no one to fill this void?" There was no answer, "Are you sure?" She crossed the room, "Pity for I see you and you are not alone."
"You speak in riddles elemental and I am in no mood for games."
"Ha!" She spat, "you are in no mood at all. There is a woman on Draken four. She is a local woman, a medicine woman if you will."
"What could she have to say that would concern me?"
"What if I say your bloodline continues?" He said nothing. "Now go Riddick and find yourself." Aereon disappeared leaving Riddick alone again in the comfort of the dark, a whisper of a name left in her wake. Draken four, It had been many years since he stepped foot on the planet. Almost three.
Audella. He touched the stone covering that was Kyra. For once in his life he was unsure and that scared him more than death.
