Daniel continued through the city, looking for some clue to find Teal'c and Vala's so called deceased friend. His curiosity was getting the best of him. His insatiable appetite to gain knowledge, often wound him up in more trouble for his friends than himself. He was driven to find out why Vala and Teal'c would not leave this planet, even though he had been informed by Teal'c that Vala would die. He just couldn't believe that was the only reason. It made sense, but he had to find proof of such a simple explanation. These were not his real friends, he thought. This was another reality, another Teal'c and Vala. Another realm of indifference of what he thought was too simple to survive on their own. These Eloshins were a mystery, if not freaks of nature to be hidden for so long, that the Ori had not conquered them yet. He wanted to find an answer to all his questions, and he figured what better way to start than finding out how this look alike friend may have affected this Vala and Teal'c at being stranded. As he hid amongst the walls, using his black ops skills to circumvent being seen. He came across a large oblique square building. It had few marking, but the outside had creeping vines running across the outside wall. The entrance seems to be well kept, but it seemed so different from the other buildings in the Eloshin city. Daniel looked around to see if any Eloshins were watching or approaching the building. It seemed to be isolated for a reason, Daniel thought.

As he crept closer to the entrance, he opened the heavy door and noticed it was lowly lit. There seemed to be a beam of light emitting from an opening from the ceiling, in almost a reverence to what lay in state. There were flowers, fresh, he believed across the floor and then there was a plaque erected in the middle of the floor of pure glass. He approached and it read in unmistakable Gou'ald.

FRIEND AND COMRADE

DANIEL JACKSON

MAY YOU FINALLY HAVE PEACE

YOU ARE MISSED.

Daniel could not believe his eyes. Their Daniel Jackson died here. Never able to return to his own reality. Daniel wondered would he face the same fate. He ran from the building, now wanting to see his own name in death. He needed to find a way out of here. He felt trapped, by his surrounding and started running, only to bump into one of the Eloshins. They looked at him quizzically and wondered why he was running.

"Are you alright my friend? Are you hurt?"

Daniel was trying to comprehend what had just happened. "I………no. I want to know what happened to that Daniel Jackson? Why couldn't he leave from this planet?

The stranger looked at him and then back at the lone building. He realized that this friend of Master Teal'c and Mistress Vala had ventured into the building without permission.

"You have been to see Master Teal'c and Mistress Vala's friend without permission. You are not allowed. You must be taken to them for their punishment. I will not force you stranger. But you have upset the balance of things. Come."

"Yes, take me to your Master and Mistress. I want to know, why there is such a secret kept so sacred." Daniel sounded indignant and followed the Eloshin.

A/N: Short, but building. hehehe
