Stargate Atlantis Command:
Journey To Atlantis:
Colonel Shepard, Teyla, Ronon, Doctor McKay and I along with my belongings, ventured through the Stargate to Atlantis four days later. I had sent word to the wraith that they should meet us in Atlantis to decide what to do about my uncle and how to fight back against Apafus. The Atlantis team didn't seem too happy about hearing that part as we made our way back to Atlantis. They seemed not to want anything to do with the wraith and I didn't understand but soon would learn that they were enemies of the wraith and wanted nothing to do with them.
Once in Atlantis, I was shown to my living quarters and I set my belongings up, with all the pictures of the beautiful places I had traveled to and the song playing from the animated pictures. The spells I put on the pictures made them animated every minute of every hour of every day. Chandrakant may not have been with me anymore, but that didn't mean I couldn't continue what I had been doing since I was a little girl. Opening Stargate's for people to reconnect with those that they haven't been able to contact in years has always been the main goal. The other reason was to gain as many allies as I could to destroy Apafus and gain back control of Aalrekstad and give my people and the people of many galaxies a safe haven to live a normal life away from the Goa'uld and there leader.
If I could destroy Apafus once and for all, then my goal to become leader and savior of Aalrekstad will finally come true. My dream of my people living a safe and happy life out of the control of Apafus will have finally come true. But I knew, just as most of my people knew, that the road to freedom would be a long and hard one. In order for me to free my people, deep down inside myself, I knew that I would somehow be taken from my new friends and allies. I knew that somehow I would be captured and I couldn't stop it from happening. Nobody could know that I would somehow be captured and taken from them.
For if anyone knew, the Wraith would not cooperate with the Atlantis and SG-1 teams and my allies would be diminished. If they did not know, then all my allies would rally together and come after me, freeing not only me, but a whole galaxy in the process. The wraith just didn't know that they wouldn't be able to feed on their new allies. And they also didn't know that they wouldn't be able to haunt the humans of the Pegasus and Milky Way galaxies ever again. That was something I would have to remind them, if they wanted to help destroy Apafus once and forever.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Conference Room:
Teyla, McKay, Ronon, and Colonel Shepard were sitting in the conference room with Dr. Keller and Dr. Weir. They were waiting for me to get situated and were discussing what the best option was to deal with the wraith ship that had been spotted on its way to Atlantis. Ronon mentioned something about me telling the wraith to meet me in Atlantis which led Dr. Weir to think that I was working with the wraith and which probably meant that the Atlantis team had just brought an enemy to their doorstep. Colonel Caldwell walked into the Conference room with me behind him. I wasn't alone. My wraith buddy was with me.
Once inside the conference room, my wraith buddy, Dûrion, sat down and I sat next to him. I handed him a pair of gloves which he put on his hands so that if he touched anyone, he could not feed off of them. I had made them a few years ago and they were strong enough to make sure the wraith could not penetrate the material and feed off of me when I met with him in private.
Dûrion had been coming to meet me at Hogwarts for nearly three years, helping me with my extractions of the stargate's. He had been transporting me to and from the worlds and making sure that nobody knew that he knew where Earth was. We both knew that if any other wraith found out where Earth was, not only would Dûrion's life be in jeopardy, but also the billions of lives on Earth as well. The team looked nervous but nonetheless, there was still the matter of who I was that needed to be dealt with.
"So, with you here, where do we go? I mean since you have no fear of the wraith?" Dr. Weir asked.
"Oh, I fear the wraith with all of my heart, just not this one. He saved me from his kind and in return I keep his secret safe."
"And what secret would that be?" Colonel Caldwell asked.
"My name Dûrion and I have been traveling to and from Earth since I found out who Gyanendra really was. She has promised to keep me safe from the very people that want both of us dead. She was a host to a Goa'uld since she was born. I was captured by Apafus and became host to a Goa'uld as well. It nearly killed me and when my kind found out what had happened, they captured Gyanendra, knowing that she could extract Goa'uld's from a person, whether it be wraith or human."
"And you came to be known as Dûrion how exactly?" Teyla asked.
"Gyanendra named me. I was about fifteen when we first met and Gyanendra has kept loyal to her word. My own kind has outcaste me, but if needed be, we would stand next to Gyanendra and fight by her side if she needed us to. I will always be by her side, that's what friends are for."
"I'm sure, never heard of a human being friends with a wraith before. What are the gloves for?" McKay asked.
"I made them a few years ago out of a material I found on one of the planets I extracted a Stargate from. They are especially made for Dûrion so that whenever he's around me, he can put them on and he won't hurt me. They're strong enough so that if he touches me, he can't penetrate the material and either hurt or kill me. It's just something that we thought he needed at the time."
"Right, so back to what are we supposed to do now that you are here? Where do we go from here?" Ronon asked.
"You become allies. Dûrion has gotten a few wraith cruisers together and we will use those to get to my home planet. From there, it will only be a matter of you and the wraith getting along long enough to let me do what I need to do."
"And why would we work with the wraith?" McKay asked.
"Because, we will agree not to attack you if you agree to help Gyanendra with her mission on destroying the people that want to kill her. The queen that gave me the cruisers will not harm you once you are aboard the cruisers and she has agreed to wear the gloves that Gyanendra constructed so that you are not harmed while aboard the cruisers."
"I thought you said that you were an outcast of your kind. Why would a wraith queen give you cruisers if you are not liked by your own kind?" Dr. Weir asked.
"Dûrion and I have talked with the queen and she has told us that many more of the wraiths have been captured by Apafus and that they wish for him to be gone forever. It was just a matter of time before something like this happened."
"Something like what? Aren't you a little young to be even near a wraith? And how old were you when were captured by the wraith?" Colonel Shepard asked.
"I was ten when they captured me. I'm sixteen, old enough to be around anyone I choose to be around. And to answer your first question, a war is coming and I need all the allies I can get, whether they be enemies of each other or friends, does not matter to me."
"As we can see. So we are to use the cruisers to get to the hive ship and then travel on the hive ship to Aalrekstad in the galaxy of…" Colonel Caldwell asked.
"Fitjar. Queen Barta has promised not to eat any member of the Atlantis and SG-1 teams if they so wish to accompany me to my home and help destroy Apafus."
"Queen Barta?" Ronon and Teyla asked together.
"Yes, that is the queen that gave me the cruisers in the first place." Dûrion said.
"Any more friends of yours we should know about?" McKay asked.
"Not friends, just enemies."
"Like who?" Shepard asked.
"My grandparents, uncle and their hosts. They work for Apafus directly. And they are all searching for me, to kill me so that I cannot destroy the plans they have worked so hard to come up with."
"Why would your own family want you dead?" Dr. Weir asked.
"Dr. Weir, my family has been hunting me since my parents deposited me on Earth. After my parents returned to Aalrekstad, they were imprisoned, questioned about me and then put to death. You can have them when I am finished with Apafus. I do not think they will mind staying in Azkaban for all of eternity. And I'm pretty sure the Death Eaters will love to suck the souls out of them."
"And what exactly is a Death Eater?" Teyla asked.
"It is a magical creature that the Minister of Magic uses to guard the prisoners being held in Azkaban."
"What is Azkaban, other than a prison of course?"
"It holds the worst magical criminals in the world. Those criminals all helped Lord Voldemort, the worst wizard in the magical world. Not all have helped Lord Voldemort, though. Some are in there for murder (of all kinds), kidnapping and murder, heinous crimes, and crimes where magic was used against not only other witches and wizards but also muggles."
"What are muggles?" Ronon asked.
"Muggles are non-magics. People that have no power to make magic and are thus wise less of a people. Not my definition. Muggles aren't wanted at Hogwarts nor are they allowed. Which is why I always met with the SG-1 team in private. Not that they gave me much of chance, walking into the Great Hall as if they were on a hostile planet."
"They must have thought that was the only way to truly understand why you didn't want anyone knowing that they were visiting you." Dr. Weir said.
"Maybe, but they ruined it for me to ever go back. Granted, I might use the students at Hogwarts and their families to help me destroy Apafus and all who follow him, but they aren't worth the mention. I do have some allies on Aalrekstad, though I haven't seen them in many a day since I no longer have Chandrakant with me."
"Chandrakant being who?" Dr. Keller asked.
"She was my Goa'uld since the day I was born. She fought me and I used my powers to kill her. I feel empty without her even to this point of day. I feel like I need her even now, must be because we used to rely on each other when I got tired and did not want to go about the daily business of my life, I would just let her out and she would take over my voice so that none of the students would know that something had changed in me. That ended when Apafus took control of her at Stargate Command. Dr. Frasier took my necklace off me while I was in the Infirmary and Apafus took control of her then. I miss her."
"Chandrakant was your best friend wasn't she?" Dr. Weir asked.
"Yes, she was an outcast Goa'uld and I was a forbidden child. Guess we kind of got along in that retrospect of things."
"What do you mean you were a forbidden child?"
"I am Harseesa, the child of two Goa'uld parents, forbidden in the Goa'uld's eyes and to be killed once they are born. They contain the knowledge of all Goa'uld from the beginning when the Goa'uld first became."
"Oh well, I guess that explains a little of it then."
"Are we done talking now? I need to get some rest and Dûrion needs to get to talking with Queen Barta and the rest of our allies about when we are to strike. You may use your ships to fly with us to Fitjar if you wish; I can give you the coordinates to the galaxy and planet."
"That would be much appreciated. And yes, we are done talking for now. You will be escorted back to your quarters and Dûrion; you will be escorted back to your cruiser. You can stay in your cruiser to make the calls you need to make, but if you wish to come onto Atlantis, someone will be with you at all times. And you are to where those gloves at all times as well. Is that understood?"
"Understood Dr. Weir." Dûrion and I said at the same time.
Dûrion and I were escorted back to our separate quarters and the planning began. In order for this to work, we needed all of our allies to be in the Pegasus Galaxy before we headed out. But at the moment, I needed to rest as I was not used to not having a Goa'uld within my body. I would get back in touch with Hogwarts at a later date and ask if they would like to join in the fight to save my home planet.
