Writer’s notes: English is not my main language, but i wanted to share my thoughts with you anyway. =) Hope you enjoy it!
It was years now you were converted into a Necromonger, Commander General Siberius Vaako was your superior for quite same time. You always admired him, and followed hir orders without questioning, but there was something about his wife that kept you uncertain of her loyalty to the Lord Marshal Zhylaw and to the Faith.
After the death of Zhylaw against Riddick, your bad feelings about that woman were sure to be true. Some officers began to talk about general Vaako's loyalty; almost everyone saw that he tried to kill Zhylaw at the same time as that Furyan did. Some other had already tried to kill him for being a traitor of the Faith.
You call him to a secure place where you could talk to him freely, without being seen or listened to any one from the order.
“You better have a good reason for calling me here, Y/N” he meets you with aggression on his eyes, pressing your throat with a knife, pushing you against the wall “Or are you also trying to kill me now?”
“I assure you, Sir, that I do have the best of reasons” you try your best to speak while your throat is being pressed by his knife. He lets you go, but keeps his intense eyes focused on you. The rage and mistrust were taking over him. He couldn’t trust his own shadow after what happened.
“It’s your wife, Lord Vaako” your hand goes you throat, verifying if he didn’t cut you.
“What about her?” he seems impatient
“She is using you, Sir. Manipulating you.”
“Tell me something i don’t know...” his voice seems frustrated as he had already figured that long before.
“She is a traitor, Sir.” you imply
“Don’t you ever speak about her like that!” he rages on your way, getting close enough to feel his breath while he argues with you. And if you wanted to kill him, you’d have done it by now.
“She’s using your feelings for her only to get the throne for herself...” You speak on a calm tone and showing you were not threatened by him. You called his attention with those words, he takes some steps back listening what you have to say. “After you kill Riddick, it is only obvious that she’ll wait until you low you guard to kill you next.”
“She’d never do this!” he says doubting his own words. He knows that this might be true, but he doesn’t want to believe in it.
“Oh, so knowing her personality, you think that she’d keep pleased being just the lover of our leader…?” you tease him, with a malicious grin on your face.
“You say as if I own the throne already!”
“No, Lord Vaako, I believe you can achieve more than a Lord Marshal name...”
“What is in your mind, Y/N?” he keeps curious of your intentions.
“Transcendence” The word means to him more than you could imagine. His eyes sparkle reaching yours. This all made sense to him, his existence had a major purpose than doing his mate’s desires.
“What about the Furyan?” he asks you with a bitter tone
“I already found a way to get rid of him...for a time” you give him a scroll with some notes
“What is this?” He grabs it from your hand
“Coordinates... to a faraway planet. Desert, no civilization, only beasts can live in there. There is sure a minor chance that he’ll be back, knowing Riddick there always is a chance, but you’ll be ready for him until the time comes…”
“Then I will kill your wife”
“You wouldn’t dare!” he grabs you by your neck, hitting your head against the wall.
“She’s a menace, Sir. To you, to all of us. Do you think she’ll keep still letting you rule us all? Do you think she’ll be a good leader to the Faith?” he lets you go, walking in circles from a point to another, trying to think in all you have said, almost accepting your words, he knew she was capable of every means necessary to get more power, but deep inside, he loved her.
“Alright, I’ll get rid of the Furyan.” he agrees with you at the end. Then, he gets his face really close to yours holding you by your chin staring deeply into your eyes “But I dare you touch my wife...” his dark eyes were teasing you, you could almost feel a minor smile coming from his mouth. Suddenly he turns around and lives. If your heart still beat, it would be rushing by now. It was almost as he wanted you to kill her, because his feelings for her wouldn’t let him do the job.
As soon as he went out with Krome on a ship to get rid of Riddick, you go to his room to find his wife. Surprisingly, she wasn't there. You check all the room to find if there's any evidence of her, or where she went. You hear her voice outside, you check on her discreetly. She’s talking to another woman, seems like she’s up to something. You decide to follow her quietly until she was alone.
“Dame Vaako…” you call for her
She spots you "So, you finally came for me..."
"I can’t let Lord Vaako pay for your acts of treason. This must end now!"
"Try me" she teases you to come after her, it was obviously a trap, and you knew just what to do.
You run towards her on an unpredictable path. Not soon, two other man jump from nowhere in your direction. You use your skills to go back from the path you came before, and stab one of them on the back with your knife, and still use his body as shield from the other’s attack. You grab his double bladed scythe, exchanging some few strikes before you could pierce the other one on his heart. She wasn’t expecting that you could get away from this. She tries to run and you go after her getting your knife back from the first men’s back.
You got her cornered and she looked scared. When you get your knife close to her neck you feel a stab on your back, it hits you deep, but not deep enough. You turn and see the woman she was talking before, you feel dizzy, maybe the knife was poisoned. You don’t waste time and kill the woman who stabbed you. You fight to remain on your feet as Dame Vaako laughs at you walking in front of you “So, you think you’re smart… to let my husband know that you were coming for me” you were the one who was cornered now.
“You’re the only one that stabs others on their back, Dame...” you keep your guard up, your vision is getting blurry, and you feel like your energy was being drained. You both spot commander general Vaako walking toward both of you.
“Perfect timing, my husband. Kill her!” she orders him. He raises a scythe, you know you wouldn't win a fight against him, and now your only thoughts are in the future of the Necromonger Empire. That it would be only time for her to take everything she wanted. Suddenly, you feel the pressure of the blade on your stomach. But it didn’t pierce you. “I think this belongs to you, Y/N” You look at the blade and notice it belonged to one of the man you killed before. You hold it on your hands “Thank you, Lord Vaako”
With one last movement holding all your strength, you swing the blade cutting Dame’s head off. After that last swing you feel your force fades, an arm holds you around your waist before you fall. You look up, and Vaako was holding you in his arms with a pleased smile on his face, lust on his eyes. He caresses your face, cleaning the blood splattered from you cheeks. You feel his lips pressing yours. He embraces you on a passionate kiss. Until he feel your legs losing its strength. He lifts you, holding you in his arms in bridal style “Come, my wife. You need to rest”.
“Wife..?” you ask him, with a weak voice. Almost fading into his arms.
“Well, you keep what you kill...”
