SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -19~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 19: What Now?++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Ajax, calm down!" Jack grabbed the Elysian man by the shoulders and hauled him back behind the woodpile they were using as shelter. It was the fifth time he had had to do it. Ajax had heard Pandora's ear-piercing cry for help from inside the Temple, and now he was in hysterics."O'Neill, just let me go! I'll find the door, I'll save my wife AND your friend! Just let me go!""It's not going to work that way Ajax! It's too late. Calm down. We're not out of options just yet."Ajax slumped his shoulders, letting his chin fall to rest on his chest. He looked te
SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -18~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 18: The Hand-Over+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Please, I beg you! Let me go!"Pandora was on her knees, begging through tear-filled eyes to be set free. The stricken woman lent forward and extended her arm, gathering a fistful of Telamon's robe in her shaking hand."Please..."Telamon pulled his robe free of her grip and crouched down to her level. Sam furrowed her brow, slightly confused by the compassionate expression on Telamon's face. For a moment she thought he was going to grant Pandora her wish, until Telamon roughly grabbed the crying woman's chin and barked into her face."Enough of th
SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -17~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 17: Backtracking+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"We are here." Teal'c stood pressed against the wall. He was motioning to the split in the fortified structure that he and Sam had escaped through. "O'Neill, I believe I know the Goa'uld responsible for the loss of so many victims."Daniel made his way to stand next to Teal'c, "So there is a Goa'uld here?""Yes. His name is Ptah. Just before we escaped Rhadamanthus expressed the Goa'uld's desire to capture Major Carter.""What would he want with Sam?""I am uncertain. I have not heard of this Goa'uld before."Jack sighed in annoyance, "Daniel, know
SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -16~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 16: The Great Temple+++++++++++++++++++++++++Dizziness. Nausea. An all-over aching sensation... and one hell of a headache. Make that, one hell of a migraine. Some really strange smell... is that patchouli? And what the heck is that noise?Sam rolled over, groaning. Her head was pounding; a white light flashed across her blurred vision, sending a wave of pain down her spine. Somewhat thankful that she was now on her stomach, Sam closed her eyes and took in a few deep breaths to stifle the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She lay like that for a while, resting her cheek against the cool floor
SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -15~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 15: Catch Up+++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Okay, so let's assess. The Stargate isn't working. Carter and Teal'c are who knows where and we've been tramping through the jungle for yonks. We've climbed hallf a mountain and are now prodding a wall which doesn't feel like letting any vistors through. No biggie.""Jack this wall is huge. And my guess is that it's also very long. We haven't even come close to circling the whole thing yet.""Your point?""We could find a way in any minute now."A sigh, "Daniel, you've said 'we could find a way in any minute now' more times than I can count. Can't we just..
SG1: Beware Elysian Fields -14~ Beware the Elysian Fields ~Chapter 14: Blackness++++++++++++++++++++++++++++It was dark. A blanket of stars were staring to appear in the hazy sky and the world was beginning to loose its silence to joyful croaking of the night's creatures. There was no joy in Carter and Teal'c's situation. They had managed to escape their confinements and were somewhere in the village, desperately searching for a way out."Teal'c, we've been past that... floral arrangement ten times now." Carter crouched behind a low wall."I agree. We are going in circles." Teal'c moved beside Sam to take a look over the wall. In the village, the streets were quie
