"Alright let's go hear this again. From the beginning this time," O'Neill said.
"The crow kills whoever it can and takes their sole to the land of the dead. We have never known any one to survive the crow," The leader Harlo said.
"How long have it been here?" Daniel asked.
"As long as any of us can remember. Even our earliest written records mention it."
"How old are the records?" Daniel asked."
"Several hundred years."
"If one ever comes back, how do you know that the crow 'steals their sole'?" Sam asked.
"In one case someone did come back." He stood up and walked over to one of the walls covered in symbols. Daniel followed him. "A few generations ago, a young woman died trying to save her husband from the crow. He survived but the crow took her. Then a few days later she reappeared."
"Reappeared?" O'Neill asked.
"Yes. We asked her what happened but she hardly spoke of it.
"Why not?" Daniel asked.
"She said she could not. We would be honored if you joined us for our evening meal." The leader said eager to change the subject.
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Daniel stood in front of one of the walls scanning through some of the earlier notes.
"Daniel you've been at this for over an hour," O'Neill said.
"Yeah well there's a lot of information here."
"Well just give it a rest okay."
"Jack this is fascinating. You know they originally built this temple as protection from the crow," Daniel said.
"Yeah well you know how this kind of stuff really peeks my interest."
"It says that when the woman came back the only words she spoke where, 'those who sacrifice their life willingly, return stronger than before.'"
"Okay listen, I think it's time to just get the heck out of here," O'Neill said.
"Jack we have to try to help them."
"We already did that Daniel," O'Neill said his temper starting to flare.
"Jack this is really extraordinary. I mean look at all of this." Daniel waved his arm around gesturing to the hieroglyphs on the walls surrounding them.
"There's no reason for us to stay here am I right Carter?"
"Well there's no naquada or any other scientific values if that's what-"
"Thank you." O'Neill turned around and headed for the door.
"Jack."
"Daniel, we are leaving. Is that clear?"
Daniel nodded slowly and followed Carter and Teal'c to the front entrance of the temple. Upon walking out he double back in. The rest of the team followed his gaze. The crow swooped down on the four figures in front of the temple.
"Okay change of plans, every one back inside. How long do you think we'll have to wait for that thing to go away?"
"I have no idea sir."
"Well Daniel looks like we're going to be hear for awhile longer. Knock yourself out."
