Story outline/authors note: its just what the title says…Riddick..at sea.

Riddick at Sea

The box door opened and he was meet by a tanned woman with blue hair and sea blue eyes. She was wearing a sea foam green dress. Beside her were two men with black hair, black eyes and dark blue uniforms. Non of them were armed. He seemed to e in a warehouse. He could see the door.

The woman looked at him with no expression then began to speak in a foreign tongue. She stopped talking and glared at Riddick. After a moment of silence she looked over at the man to her left and began to talk to him. She then looked back at Riddick.

"I guess you don't speak our language. Is this one better? Can you understand me now?" She looked hopefully at Riddick.

"Where am I?"

"Oh good you speak this language. Riddick my name is Shinahj. You are on the Planet Trelauntay. Those men have asked us to let you stay here until they return."

"You cant keep me here."

"You cant leave."

"Like hell I can." Riddick quickly pushed past them and out the door. He stopped immediately. He was on a dock and about to run into what looked like the ocean. He looked out onto the blue water. He couldn't see anything but water.

"This is one of the three water planets." He herd Shinahj's voice behind him. "There is nothing on this planet but water. We have no space ships so there is no way off this planet. So you see you can not leave. We're not trying to keep you here, It's just not possible unless some one lands here first."

Riddick turned around to look at Shinahj. He saw the warehouse behind her. There was wood around the warehouse. He went around and saw more water. The warehouse was sitting on a big slab of wood. There were a few small wooden buildings and a few people staring at him. He saw nothing but water when he looked around. "Where the hell am I?"

"Trelauntay." Shinahj said and came up beside Riddick. "We are a small town. There are many on this planet. We group together and create bigger towns or just stay on our own. We have provided you with a little boat if you wish to look around the planet. But please…do not harm any one. We are peaceful people and mean you no harm. There is a city about an hour away to the East."

Riddick walked along the wooden street looking at the scared faces and little buildings that looked like houses. It was like a little village, but everything was made of wood. "Where do you get the wood?"

"It floats up from the surface of the planet. We do not know why there is wood down there but if you ask someone on a bigger platform they might now." She pointed to a little wooden boat. A compass and some food lay in it. He noticed the shinny powerful looking engine attached to the boot. "The visitors leave us gifts. Metal and engines are some of them."

Riddick looked up at the cloudy sky. Then to the open sea.

"The clouds always cover our sky. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't. But every day is a cloudy one." Shinahj grabbed one of the lines tying the boat to the platform. "You can go. We are a small platform that wont be much fun for you. We are platform 7B if you ever wish to return. The one you are looking for is called platform 8 or the Emerald city. East." She smiled and nodded.

Riddick slowly got on the boat and it wobbled forcing him to sit down. He grasped the sides tightly. He'd only ever been in a boat once. And it didn't move.

"Do you know how to drive a boat?"

He didn't answer.

Shinahj began to speak in her language to someone. A little boy then came out of the crowed and jumped into the boat. "This is Kougra he will take you to platform 8. Watch how he drives. He will not be able to help you again."

Kougra started the engine and the boat began to move. Riddick shifted his position and gripped the edges of the boat a little tighter. The boat then began to leave the little platform of wood. Kougra pointed to the compass, and Riddick gave it to him. The boy stared at it then looked back to the platform and waved shouting something.

Riddick only stared at the people on the platform not sure what to expect or what to think. The boat then slowly began to pick up speed and head east. It began to get faster and faster. The wind blew madly at Riddick's face. He clenched the sides and it rocked a little making Riddick feel a little panicky. The boat shot through the water and he watched as the platform shrunk in the distance. When he couldn't see it anymore he looked at Kougra, concentrating on his driving of the little wooden boat.

Riddick tried to talk to him, but he didn't seem to hear. So he decided just to concentrate on not shaking the boat, falling over and on Kougra's driving.

It was a long and to Riddick quite boring, trip to Platform 8, but finally he saw it. Tall towers stood with the colour green painted all over them. It made the water look like emerald water. There were many tall buildings and houses standing on a metal platform that looked like it was about to sink. They pulled up to the docks that unlike the smaller area he landed on were made of metal.

Kougra stopped the engine, hopped off, tied the boat and reached his hand out to Riddick. Riddick slowly released his hand from the edge of the boat. It hurt from gripping it so tightly. He reached out to Kougra and in one quick movement climbed out of the little boat. Kougra only smiled, trying to hold back his childish laughter.

The metal platform was covered in wandering people. People going every which way and in a hurry. Young or old all dressed in bizarre clothing. The children whore black uniforms, with red ties (including the girls), Navy hats and long polls of material rocketing up from there bags two feet in the air. The teens all wore totally different things. Normal uniforms, all black, all white, suits, dresses, and basically anything a normal earth teenager would wear. The adults didn't dress in suits. They wore outrages colours and all different styles, like they were wearing costumes. Little and large boats were scattered amongst the docks. No one was watching them, and nobody seemed to have any interest of stealing them from others. The docks were quickly met by the tall green buildings and small alleyways stretched in between them.

Riddick looked over to Kougra who was waving at someone. A little boy came over and talked to him. The boy stared at Riddick, then back at the boy, then left. Riddick walked over to Kougra and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Where do I go now?" He gazed down at the boy. Talking slowly, hoping he'd understand.
