Note: this is the first fanfic I've put on so please r/r. good or bad I want to hear it.
Everything was still. With no sound and no hushed wind. A tall stone circle stood as the only landmark for miles aside from the temple several dozen yards away from it. The silence was suddenly interrupted as the inner track of the stone circle began to spin. It looked and woshed out with a vortex of water and snapping back into a flat disk. Four figures stepped out onto the platform. The gate snapped shut. The four figurers walked sown the stone steps scanning the area.
"Well Daniel that looks like your temple," Colonel Jack O'Neill commented rather rhetorically.
"Yup that would be it," Daniel Jackson said.
"Let's go check it out." O'Neill was the first to admit that sitting around starring at a bunch of symbols that meant nothing to him was not his idea of fun. However the sooner they got there the sooner they could leave. And besides as long as it keep half of his teem happy and out of trouble he wasn't going to complain. Too much.
The temple was large to say in the least, and beautifully decorated with hieroglyphs. He knew immediately that Daniel was going to be happy. They walked into the temple. The room they entered was literally huge. The ceiling was several stories high. O'Neill guessed the room was at least two times bigger than the Gate room on earth. Large pillars rose to the ceiling at the sides of the room. As he glanced by the pillars, O'Neill noticed a shadow. He looked over at his 2IC Major Samantha Carter. She had seen it too. Raising their guns, the two walked towards the shadow, which shifted, disappearing.
He nodded slightly to her as they both stepped around the pillar on different sides. The figure held up his hands in surrender and backed up. Daniel walked up behind them.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Think we just met the natives," Jack said nodding towards the terrified boy in front of him. He lowered his gun and stepped back allowing Daniel to talk to the kid.
"Hi I'm Daniel This Jack, Sam and Teal'c. We come in peace," The boy just stared at him as though he didn't understand.
"What you're name?" Jack asked hoping he under stood English.
"Konah."
"Hey Konah. You live here?" He nodded.
"Where's the rest of you're people?" Jack asked.
Konah pointed behind them. The four members of SG-1 turned to look. Startled, the natives that had previously stepped out from behind the pillars quickly hid themselves.
Konah stepped out and spoke to them in another language. The natives once again stepped out. A man, apparently the leader walked forward to greet SG-1.
"Hello. And welcome." The man bowed his head. "You came through the Great Circle?"
"Yes we did. I'm Daniel, this is Jack, and Sam-"
"Yes I know."
"What language were you speaking earlier?" Daniel asked.
"We have lived on this planet for many years. In time we developed our own language. But you must come. It is not safe here."
"Why not?"
"Because of the crow. We can not stay out here for long without being at the mercy of the crow."
"A crow?" Jack asked his voice full of disbelief.
"Yes. He comes and he kills off anyone he can. And then he takes them to thew land of the dead. We have never known anyone to come back." The leader said.
"So basically you guys are being haunted by an ugly looking bird?"
"It is more than that. It is immortal. We have tried to kill it but it always lives."
"Alright look. We'll help you kill this... crow."
The leader looked as though he'd been waiting to hear this all his life. You will? How will we ever repay you?"
"We'll work out the details latter," Jack said. He turned around and walked outside, the rest of his team following him. He squinted against the sunlight and scanned the sky. "So where's this crow of yours?"
"It will come."
Moments later a black speck appeared in the sky and slowly got larger. I didn't take long for O'Neill to realized that it was too big to be and ordinary crow.
"What the hell?"
"It is the crow."
The crow continued it path towards them. It was about three times the size of a normal crow. When it was in shooting range, O'Neill fired shoot after shoot at it. Yet none of his bullets seemed to hit it.
"Teal'c," Jack said to the Jaffa beside him. Teal'c raised his staff weapon and fired at the bird. The first shoot missed as did the second but the third landed square in its right wing. The others watched in astonishment as the bird was merely knocked off coarse and then continued flying towards them. Teal'c fired several more shoots most of them hitting the bird but doing nothing except further angering it. After a short time the bird finally turned and flew in the opposite direction. Stunned, O'Neill looked at the leader for and explanation.
"It is as I said. The crow is immortal."
"Would not such a creature die upon being hit?" Teal'c asked.
"Usually." O'Neill said. "That was one heck of a crow."
TO BE CONTINUED...
Please r/r. oh and by the way, the whole theory about the crow taking to person to the land of the dead is actually based on a tv show The Crow: Stairway To Heaven where some people believe that when you die the crow carries you soul to the land of the dead but sometimes the crow can bring it back to put things right.
