A/N: This is the epilogue, as you can tell from the title of the chapter. I don't normally do an epilogue, but for this story, it seemed like it was necessary. This won't be nearly as detailed as my other chapters, but it will help wrap up the loose ends of the story that people tend to pick up on.
After that, we were pretty much considered married, since there is no traditional wedding ceremony for Necromongers. And most importantly, I wasn't just some wife of the new Lord Marshal, I was his only wife, his co-ruler, and his equal in everyway. So while he ruled with an "iron fist", I ruled with more grace, wisdom, and understanding towards our people.
Once Riddick and I were officially named Lord and Lady Marshal, we changed a few things. First, we changed it so that everyone called us Lord Riddick and Lady Raina, except for my dad who continued to call me Rinha, old habits die hard.
Second, we weeded out the loyals from the un-loyals. It helped in the rulings that I had psychic powers and was able to read the inner most thoughts and feelings of the person before me. After asking a few questions, I could tell whether or not if a person was truly loyal to Riddick and myself. Those who were truly loyal were allowed to remain on which ever ship they were on, and were given promotions as their positions would allow. Those who weren't loyal to us were probed even deeper. If they would pose a deeper threat to us, they were killed on the spot by Riddick, which he enjoyed to no end. But if they were just wanting a new life or to forget any of this had ever happened, they were sent to special ships were they awaited for a procedure to have their minds erased of their involvement with the Necromongers, given new memories, and sent to the nearest hospitable planet were they could start over again.
Third, purification was abolished! Now that neither of the rulers had been purified or converted, there was no need to subject others to that process as a means of joining the Necromonger way of life. The purifier and his "priests" were then put to a much better use. They were trained as teachers for the children that had been brought aboard Necropolis and the other of the Four Horsemen. Because I had gathered so much information about other cultures, for the conquests, I gave it to the new teachers and they taught all the children about the way the universe used to be, with all the of cultures, and how it was here on these ships, and about the Underverse.
Finally, we stopped conquesting to find the system of dark planets that would be our Underverse, that is, in the way that the previous Lord Marshal had been doing it. We no longer invaded a planet or a system and demanded that they join us or die. We simply took a craft down to a planet and made ourselves known to them, and invited any who wished for a different life to come and join us. Surprisingly enough to my father, there were more families who wanted a different way to live than the one they had on their planet, and they always had the choice to come back, since we no longer destroyed worlds.
Riddick made a few changes of his own. He now taught hand to hand combat to the men who wished to learn, and passed down his fighting skills to the male children, when their studies would allow. He also taught the male warriors how to fight people without killing them, and how to kill a person faster and more cleanly.
I on the other hand, taught all of the women who no longer wished to be a concubine or a servant how to fight, which made the armada grow, and gave me my own squadron to command if we should ever have to go into battle. Much to Riddick's disapproval, my squadron and I were always the first to go into battle. It was kind of like we were the Marines and Riddick's men were the Army, Navy, and the Air Force.
After a year or so, the fighting had finally calmed down, and Riddick and I started our family. By the time I stopped having kids, I had given birth to four boys and three girls, all of them full blooded Furyan Fighters, and some were enhanced by powers that came from me. Our first son, daughter, and our last son, all had my psychic abilities, while the rest had a more advanced knowledge of fighting and killing techniques from Riddick's side. Oddly enough, the children were born in a boy girl pattern. There was: Dameon, Aerin, Urea, Aurora, J.R. (Richard B. Riddick Jr.), Abigail, and Aidan, all ranging ages ten to one.
When they came of age, the boys began to train with their father and grandfather to become warriors, and the two with powers trained with me on how to control them and strengthen them, along with their sister, and the girls all became warriors in my squadron, and eventually took over command of it.
A/N: Hopefully that helped to clear up any questions you might have had concerning anything about their lives together. I hope you enjoyed the story. Oh! Just in case any of you were wondering, Riddick didn't go commando throughout the fight. He had actually replicated himself some underwear when the maid had shown him around the room, so he could test out the machine to make sure it would work. Sorry if I burst any bubbles with that.
