What if the all-powerful Ori met a race that held more power then they did and didn't like being controlled. Would this race known as Vam'Ri be able to stop them if they tried or would they fall like so many other worlds did?
Prior Sil'Kl enters into the chambers of Dolci Telvo and stop lowers his head
"Hallowed are the Ori.
The Dolci speaks without looking at the Prior behind him
"Hallowed are the Ori." He pauses and turns around "there is a race of unbelievers on a planet called Vaa… you are to go there and spread the truth that is Origin to these unbelievers."
The prior nods
"As you command Dolci… I do the bidding of the Ori" "Caelum videri esset. Et terra rus ad sidera tollere voltus. Ex uno discent omnes" (quoted announcing the divine nature of the Orici)
Then telepathically, the Dolci gives the coordinates of the planet to the Prior. They make a salute and Sil'Kl leaves the Dolci's presence. He makes his way to the star gate and pushes in coordinates directions on the dial device. With a whoosh the star gate opens and flares out with vibrant blue energy. Without hesitation the Prior steps through the gate and is transported through the worn hole to the planet Vaa. As he exits the star gate he looks around the surrounding area, all he sees is woods and a worn path to the gate. As the Prior walked down the path he hears a load roar and the crashing of trees as a very large reptilian monster crashed through the trees right in front of him. He could see the creature's blood dripping from various wounds on its back. He watches as the creature staggers toward him and with a way of his staff the creature lifts into the air and disappears over the trees. Unfazed by the incident the Prior continues on.

A group of about a dozen men and women roam the woods looking for there prey. Several sniff the air and other quickly study the tracks that the beast had left behind.
Hunter with a black wolf mask on "damn that beast is tough… we must have stabbed it about 3 or 4 dozen times and it still didn't fall"
Hunter with a grey wolf mask "your right about that Kall… "Smiles showing 2 long canine teeth "that just makes the hunt that much better."
As they reach the worn path that lead toward their village, the trail of the beast ended there. They searched around the area to make sure that the creature wasn't heading to their village. After searching the surrounding area, they found its corpse several hundred feet away impaled on a tree.
The hunters looked at the impaled creature in wonder.
"How did this happen… I know of no such force that could have done this"
Another of the hunter's eyes grew wide in realization.
"What if the thing that did this is heading for the village… we must get back immediately."
The rest of the hunting pack nod in agreement and they run off down the path to there village at an inhuman speed.
XxXxXx
The Prior comes to a clearing and sees the village. he walks through the clearing into a fair sized town and looks at all the people moving around the square and as he starts to walk again he notices several people pointing towards him.
He thinks to himself "they shall be shown the path that is Origin and follow the true path."
He walks to the fountain and looks at the red liquid and then steps up on to the ledge around the fountain.
"Hallowed are the Ori…Glorious are the Ori, who lead us to salvation, who did fight the evil that would doom us all to mortal sin. Did they defeat the old spirits and cast them out? And now, with the strength of our will, they do call upon us to prevail against the corruption of all unbelievers."
the villagers start to walk toward the fountain to listen to the prior.
Several ask "Who are the Ori… are they the ancestors?"
The Prior looks around at all the people in the square.
"No… the Ori are not your barbaric false gods they are the one and only true gods…they are the beacon that shine's bright in the darkness that is existence…I am here to speak the truth that is Origin and guide those that have lost their path back in to the light."
Most of the people give the prior dirty looks and walk off, some growl showing large fangs that seem to grow while others decide to listen a little more. One young man hisses and jumps over the others and stands three feet from the prior.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE ANCES…."
Before the young man could finish the prior uses his staff to flung him away. The man flies into the air and use's his power to gently land on his hands and knees on a roof. The young man hisses showing fangs and others in the square hiss while other gather the children into some of the houses. Meanwhile the Prior doesn't show it but the people were starting to scare him.
"Those who abandon the path are evil…therefore Those who reject the path to enlightenment must be destroyed."
With that Prior Sil'Kl starts to fling and consume what he calls "these abominations" in holy fire. Screams of the people echo around the village as they burn, and die. Warriors welding axes and other strange weapons charge towards him with there weapons held high. He concentrates and spikes form in the air around him and fly towards the villagers, impaling the fleeing and attacking alike along with a few children. All of who were impaled scream in pain, while some die turning to ash and others pull out the spikes to continue there attack. The priors eyes widen at this, as he flings more of the oncoming attackers into the air.
"How can this be...how can they survive the spikes… how is it possible."
XxXxXx
When the hunters hear screams coming from their village and the intruder gong banging. The warriors rush into the village seeing a lone stranger attacking their people. With a hiss all of the hunters bring out there weapons and attached there shields to there arms. Single bladed swords and three and four 10" inch bladed gantlets appear and they charge into battle against the prior. Several of the warriors get with in three to four foot of the prior before he flings them back while impaling them with the spikes. Several scream and turn to ash as they die while other hiss and snarl as they pull out the spikes. They lunge at the prior from different directions and the prior flings them back as fast as he can but he didn't know that it was just a diversion so that the one who landed on top of him could sink its teeth into the prior's neck. Then others Vam'Ri, who still have spikes still in them sink there teeth into him also. The prior fells his life force draining and the last thought before Sil'Kl world went dark.
"Why have you forsaken me… have I not been loyal... have I not done your bidding…"
With that the prior dies and the vampires step off him, their mouths covered in blood. Some stare at the body in contempt while others growl at it, but most just wipe their mouths. One of the young warrior's who helped to lead the village spoke up so everyone around can hear.
"This…this prior…-spiting as much venom out of his voice as he could-…is one of many who destroy those who don't follow there teaching…- He looks around-…those of you who saw what I saw as we feed off of him know what I'm talking about…I say we bring the fight to them and help free the others who these pieces of dung have enslaved.
With that he shudders in anger while exhaling. He wipes his mouth and looks around the village at all the carnage. Some climb the side of the building to bring down the living and the dead other's tend to the ones that where burned. He then turns to a mother crying over a pile of ash that was her child.
"I swear in the name of my ancestor's, that I Valic Je'Zen will fight with all those who wish to avenge our dead and bring down these things called the Ori.
With that almost the entire village raised a cry.
"We will fight for our honor and those that have died."
With that they all crossed there bloody weapons and where silent for awhile. Then everyone went about to find their families to make sure they where OK Valic drags the body to the star gate and beheads the body of the prior. He presses the symbols to activate the ring and when the worm hole forms he takes the headless body and slams a knife with a letter on it. Then he throws the body thought the ring. Then takes the prior's staff and breaks it in two and place the priors head on a sharp end then drives it into the ground in front of the ring. With that done he removes the power core so they can't immediately come back thought the gate then heads back to the village.
"Ori… you have made the wrong enemy… we will feast off of all of you and your prior's" he growls and continues down the trail.
XxXxXx
As the stargate opens on the other side the villager's looks to see who came to visit them, the watch in horror as the headless body of a Prior flies out of the stargate and lands 50 feet from it. Some scream while other are too stunned as to why someone would kill a beloved prior. The stargate shuts down and three flashes of light appear by the body as three other prior's appear. They pick up the body and two of the prior's disappear with it, while one walks to the people.
"Who did this despicable act."
A couple of the villagers point towards the stargate.
"Oh mighty prior... he came out of the ring of power the way he is now... we do not know who did this horrible act."
The prior nods
"Guide us on the path that we may triumph over the enemy to our salvation and be with you in the end of ends on the planes of enlightenment."
Everyone else in the village
"Hallowed are the Ori."
With that the prior disappears and some people weep for the dead prior with others cheer inwardly and wonder who killed the prior.
XxXxXx
The Vam'Ri don't morn there dead but celebrate what they did in life and hold a feast in there honor. Large cooked steaks that came from the dead beast that was impaled on the tree sit one the great feast table. The people around the table make toasts to those they knew who had died while others tell stories of the ones they knew. Cheer and celebration are all that is heard. Several villages that had heard about what happened and spread the word so more villages may heed the call to arms against a powerful enemy.
XxXxXx
In the Dolci Telvo's quarters he reads the note
To the one who reads this letter, you have angered the Vam'Ri and you and your kind will not live long enough to regret this mistake. Know this we are far stronger and you will be crushed by us.
After finishing the letter the Dolci heads to the chamber of fire to speak with hollowed Ori. As he enters the several faces of fire float out of the fire. Telepathically they speak to the Dolci
"We know of what happened and this act of defiance will not go unpunished… we who are the Ori will destroy this race known as the Vam'Ri"
The Dolci nods
"Hallowed are we; hallowed are the Ori...and those who are prideful and refuse to bow down shall be laid low and made unto dust."
The Ori starts to float back to the flames
"And so shale it be"
With that the Dolci watches his gods merge with the holy fire. As he walks out a ghost of a smile forms on his face.
"Whoa to the unbelievers as a great fire consumed them.
The end maybe
Authors note: I made up the power for forming the spikes but I thought it would make the fight that much more interesting. I hope you liked this story I may do more along with other stargate stories that I've had rumbling around in my head.
