arrival, complete, day 4, legolas greenleaf, richard riddick

Who: Riddick and Legolas
What: The arrival of Riddick
Where: In the mountains
When: Day 4, just after sunset
Rating: Well this is Riddick and he's not exactly going to be thrilled when he finds out he is pretty much trapped here. So to be on the safe side I am throwing up PG-13 for probably foul language and a lot of anger and aggression.
Status: Complete

Confusion. It was not an emotion that Riddick was used to. But everything happened so quickly. One moment he was fighting along side Vakko,revenge on his mind for his home planet as well as Kyra laying a few feet from him barely hanging onto life. His knife coming down just as body and soul rejoined and his blade landing in right in the middle of Lord Marshal's skull. Then Kyra in his arms, letting go of her last breath. Him allowing her body to fall, Barely standing as he stumbled back a few feet landing in a chair that belonged to Lord Marshal.

He hadn't had time to digest anything. Looking around the warrior realized people were bowing and just as it hit him that the key rule in the Quasi-Dead religion was you keep what you kill,meaning Riddick, the only surviving Furyan was now Lord Marshal, leader of the Necromongers. But he had no time, none at all to realize this and take it in fully because just as he whispered the words, "You keep what you kill." a black hole right under his chair had opened up and before Riddick knew it, he was falling into pitch black, into nothingness.

Harsh, brutal ground was what greeted Riddick when he awoke. He had no clue what time, what place,what year, what planet he was on. He wasn't sure if he was alive or dead. Though judging by the slight stiffness in his body he would say alive. And as he looked around, realizing the sun was setting, he took off his welding glasses to look around, allowing his sensitive eyes to adjust to what was around him.

Still feeling out of it, trying to piece it all together, Riddick stood, stretching his long limbs as he looked around realizing he was in some sort of mountainous region which confused him as he didn't know a place with mountains. Ever the practical man, before over reacting ,studied his situation,making a plan in his head. Riddick had exceptional skills , and escaping was one of them. As he walked, high on his guard, a plan was formulating in his head for escape though he had no clue that escape was not something that could be achieved here.

His acute sense told him that some 400 feet to his left someone was approaching or something. Walking just a bit closer and ducking behind a large tree just 200 feet from the approaching noise, Riddick focused his animal like eyes to the path in which he could see, his hands immediately going to his belt and withdrawing his blades as he waited patiently to see who was approaching.

Again, a smirk rose to his lips as he listened to the other man speak. He was irritating him. In some sort of mischievious way, that was amusing him to no end. After all, Riddick had been the one to be rude, first. And he wasn't even being really rude, just overly polite, and formal. His 'Prince' self, that he rarely let out except for those rare times it was appropriate and required.

Turning around, he sunk into a deep bow, a very formal greeting that was more suited for a coronation or a wedding, not for something like a meeting in the mountains. But his sense of humor wouldn't let him stop this. When he spoke, it was in Elven, but he knew that the other man would understand every word.

"Well met, Riddick. I am Prince Legolas of Mirkwood and Lord of Ithilien. May the sun shine warm upon our first meeting, and lead to years upon end of the blessed meetings to come. May the wind always blow with good fortune for you, and may there always be streams and cool rainwater to slake your thirst. May the Valar smile on you, now and forever."

The formal greeting complete, Legolas immediate broke the other man's command by turning his back to him once more. He was not afraid. He had his knives, and knew that he was the equal of any ten humans in a fight.

"The key is to your room, of course. Now, follow me. There's a plaque that should explain much."

Riddick stopped just short of running into the other man since he had stopped so suddenly. And again with the formal address and the words that was driving him insane. This Prince,Leoglas was pushing him and clearly the other man didn't realize that was a damn bad idea. With an annoyed growl he tried hard not to be rude since he had a feeling the man was doing this on purpose but damn it he was pissed off.

"Do they have a thing on this God forsaken planet called duct tape,or gags?"

Ah the man once more turned his back on him and Riddick shook his head but didn't correct him.If the man wanted to be stupid then so be it. It was obvious this Elf had a childish and impish streak to him that could very well get him killed by Riddick.He followed him once more studying the other man.

"Then by all means lead the way. By the way? I'm not human and you would do good to actually remember that. I ain't exactly normal either."

Though the thought had never been voiced, one often mistook Riddick for human as he looked very much like a human but his strengths and talents were far from human.His abilities also were not human.

His mind went back to the key in his pocket. The key to his room.Wait. His room?He didn't actually intend to stay here long enough to need a damn room.

"My room?I don't think that will be needed."

Now, that actually threw Legolas for a bit of a loop. He knew that, of course, the other man wasn't speaking a language he knew, but still, he understood it. However, parts of it, he was at a loss as to what they actually meant. He frowned, but didn't stop this time. He wasn't stupid, not by any means. He knew that he was annoying Riddick, and that chances were really good the man wouldn't put up with it for long. But, still, he was confident. Even Aragorn hadn't been able to best him more than half the time when they sparred. Also, he knew he couldn't be killed here. Still, that didn't help him understand what the man was talking about.

"I do know what a gag is, the Orcs who do not value freedom as we do use them on their prisoners. Barbarians! But what is God, and why has this being forsaken this planet? And what is this duct tape?"

He wasn't being a brat, this time. He actually didn't know. There were certain drawbacks to coming from a world that was much less technologically advanced than most. He was still pondering over that as he led the man towards the main building, where the plaque was.

"I shall. And thank you for that information. I had wondered, when I saw your eyes. I, also, am not human. You may have noticed the ears. They're a good indication of that. Now that that's out of the way..."

So, this being wasn't human. Interesting. Once more, he gripped the hilt of his knife, but his voice was relaxed, almost placid, as he responded to the comment the other man had made about the room key.

"You have a lot to learn, it would seem."

A while back,Riddick had a discussion with a Religious man about God.He was not at all a believer and never had been nor would ever be. Though that didn't stop the darker man from trying and he was the closest thing to a friend Riddick had. He had trusted him enough to take care of Kyra though in the end it had been himself that had let her down once more. His face took on a small hint of sadness as he thought back and listened to Legolas.He was truly curious and in his moment of weakness Riddick actually indulged him.

"God doesn't exist,not here, not another planet even another world. As for the rest, it don't matter you won't understand. and where I come from gags actually come in handy."

His mood had went almost solemn as he had been stupid enough to go back into the past and think of Kyra,her death he hadn't had time to deal with. But he hid his emotions. Riddick looked around taking everything in.

"The eyes were a gift and a curse. And yeah the ears gave it way."

His response was short, terse. He stopped in front of a plaque. All he wanted right now was to get the fuck out of here. Little did he know that in a few minutes his hopes of escape would be shattered though he would never give up trying.

Legolas shook his head slightly. He came from a place where the only 'Gods' where the Valar, and he knew they existed. He knew elves that had been to Valinor, and seen them with their own eyes. To him, these beings were as real as anyone in the world, and it wouldn't have even occured to him to question their existance.

"I don't know what you speak of, Riddick. I have never heard of God. But, if you say he does not exist, I shall have to take your word on that."

He stopped in his tracks as he turned around to look at the strange being behind him. Gags came in handy? What sort of being was this? For the only thing that Legolas, or really any elf, feared was being restrained. Some elves even died when it was done to them.

"You don't value freedom, then? Well, I'm glad I do not come from your world. After I show you to your room, I believe I shall part from you. It would be best if you didn't seek me out again. I shall not seek you out, enemy of freedom."

Then, he pushed the door open and led the large man to the plaque in the center of the room. He had no idea how this strange being would react to being told he was here forever. Some, he imagined, took it better than some. So he stepped back and watched, his bow once more in his hand, and the arrow in place. If Riddick went on a rampage, Legolas would defend himself. After all, there were non-fatal places to shoot.

"Different planets, different worlds."

It was soft spoken and his only answer to the situation on God. He figured Legolas had a different world and different God who might be better than the one he knew. He was still slightly off from his own mistake when Legolas stopped and let it be known how he felt about captivity and freedom.

"I never said I didn't value it. If I didn't then I wouldn't have fought hard for it every time it was taken away. But not all of us come from your perfect little world, Prince. In fact some of us have to fight for survival every day of our lives. And some of us don'thave a choice for our captors will do what ever it takes to keep their bounty"

he stopped talking thinking it would be best for the Elf to leave him now but yet he walked from the other man and looked at the plaque. And with every word he read, the more angry and determined Riddick became to escape this damn place.

"I fought hard for my freedom I will not have it taken from me just as I finally received it for good."

Riddick growled,his hands balling into fists as he looked at the other man but didn't really see him.

"Where is my room?"

This time, there was an odd sort of expression on his face as he spoke, very softly. Not joking, one of the rare times when he was completely and totally serious about something.

"There's a war in my world. My friends could be dead, because I was taken here instead of staying by their side. They are going into the Paths of the Dead, and I am not there. The war is upon them, by now. My world could be destroyed. You know nothing of what you speak of."

He allowed his bow to drop, and put the arrow away. He had no heart left for fighting. He would bring this strange being to his room, and then he would go seek the half-waking dream-filled state that elves have instead of true sleep.

"There are those who fight to go home, Riddick, or those are the rumors. The one who calls himself a Ranger, Marcus, as well as the pink-haired witch who has a name I haven't caught. You might seek them out, if you wish to escape. Myself, I believe it is not possible."

He slung his bow over his shoulder and headed for the 'D' dormitory building. The number, D113, he'd noticed inscribed on the key that Riddick now carried. He was quiet, now, thoughtful. It hadn't really struck home for him that he couldn't leave. He'd been too distracted.

"Follow, if you will."

Riddick tore himself from the plaque,his mind already trying to find a way out of this. He would not seek out the others as he was a loner and would prefer to do this on his own.The last time he had helped people most ended up dead. However something the Elf said had pissed him off and just before they left the main room, Riddick grabbed his arm and pushed him against the wall.

"Never tell me, I know not what I speak of. I've watched people die. People that were the only ones that ever came close to making me care.My entire planet was wiped out from under me when I was a mere child. So never tell me, I know nothing about death and suffering."

Riddick glared at the Elf before pulling back and walking off saying in a low tone.

"I will find my own room."

Suddenly Riddick had to be alone for he didn't know if he wanted to attempt to kill the Elf or do something to shut him the hell up.

Legolas had never moved his hand far from the knife at his belt, and he immediately gripped it as he was flung against the wall. For whatever reason, though, he didn't draw it, although Riddick was close enough that he could have easily stabbed him. But he didn't. He simply kept it in his grasp, ready to strike if the man did more than he had already done. Every muscle in his body was tensed up, his excellent elven reflexes fully engaged, though he did not act.

He was proven to be justified in his actions, because the dangerous being dropped his arm and walked away. Legolas watched him go, not speaking until the very last minute he figured that he would be heard.

"Your planet and mine could be the same, now, and I could have stopped it. Goodnight, Riddick. The rooms can change. Just so you know. Just think about what you wish for it to look like, and it shall be. If you need anything, find one of the golems. They are the strange ones dressed in suits."

That fulfilled his obligations, as far as he was concerned, so he turned around once more and headed towards his own dormitory. Even though he was hungry, food could wait. It had been a long day, and what he needed more than anything else was rest.
