Longships
Part 3
I stood there observing the woman, she was still
asleep. We had put her in a padded cell, with only a small window so we could observe her. If we could even learn anything about her magic, we could probably become half-way invincible. She woke with a start a few days after I had brought her here to earth, she stood up. She was a little unsure about herself for a minute or two, she took a step. She was trembling with weakness, she felt her way around the cell. She could not find any openings, she started to hit the walls. But she could not get out, she sank to the floor. Her breath coming out in great heaving sobs. She then screeched
"Let me out, let me out of here!"
We took our time, but finally I took the mike and spoke up.
"Tell us your name first."
"Idona Celestra."
I was a bit shocked, so she was Norse. She did not look
like a Norse lady, but she was according to her name. She was still crying, her tears were streaking down her face in great cascades of waterfalls.
She then screamed "let me out!" Which shocked all of us, being of course that she was so loud. Her scream pounded in our hearts and even our souls, it sounded like a beat of an African drum. Pounding into infinity and beyond our normal reach, it sounded as if it was many decibels already. It was steadily getting higher, we collapsed and covered our ears. Blood started to flow from our eardrums, out onto our hands and the floor. She continued to scream, until she could not do so anymore. With us down, she started to paw on the padding. She could not use her magic in there, we already knew that our she would of blasted her way out. She tried to get out but she could not, I had made
my way up. My hands were covered with blood, I broke the glass that surrounded the alarm. I smacked the button, and the alarm sounded. It hurt my ears even more, but it was a necessary evil.
The soldiers rushed in, they had never dwelt with a creature with powers like hers. So they were wearing all sorts of vests and the such, they looked sort of scary. But they came in, and pointed a few guns at her. She was to busy being quite distraught, to notice. All she wanted to do was go home, she was scared. So was I, I had never dealed with a creature like her. She was close to all powerful, yet she strived for more and she was mortal. She had proved that by sobbing and trying to escape, if she had been immortal she would of bid her time. But she seemed not
to be, she sat there while soldiers aimed their guns at her. Someone had to stop them, I climbed to my feet and spoke up.
"Stop, she is only scared she did not mean to do this so
just leave her alone I will handle this."
They all backed up I respected around this base because of my rank, they all backed up. Even if I was a civilian they realized I was part of Sg-1 the most selective group of soldiers and scientists ever assembled in a team. She looked up at me, her primal instincts might have been to run. But she did not do this, she trusted me. So when I walked in the room, she stood up. She looked like she feared for her life, but she stood there waiting for me to speak first.
"Why did you scream so loud, that you hurt our ears?"
"I did not know that humans had so weak of ears, your
frequencies in the air hurt my ears first."
"What frequencies, I hear none."
"That's because you are human, they are designed so you can not hear them for they would torture you to your end days if you could hear them."
I trusted her on this subject, she seemed entirely innocent. But why did I trust her, she had kidnapped me. Yet she seemed not to remember it, or care why she was here.
"What is your people's name?"
"Why should I tell a human what my people's name is?"
"Because you'll be here for quite a while, so please
explain."
"Why should trust you on this matter?"
"Are you not held in a cell, in a base deep underground?"
"Yes but why should I care, I could escape if I chose to."
"Prove it, give me one good reason to trust your capability on escaping from this most protected place."
She stood up and walked through the wall. We were all shocked, she turned to me after walking back through and said "You see I could escape from this cell anytime I choose to, you can never keep me from my world."
"We may not be able to keep you in your cell, but you can not activate the stargate without the passwords."
"I can see into your minds if I have to, you forget that I am not human. Can you also please leave me alone, I have an urge of serenity right now."
I nodded and walked out, it seemed like she was a mix
between human and alien. I had never seen anybody with that type of powers, or the sheer force she in which she used them. I went to my room and laid down, I fell to sleep almost at once.
I stood on a grassland plain, the grasses were tall and were swaying in the gentle breeze. The stars were a glow above me, some falling out of the sky. The five moons of this world stood out, shinning like nothing I had ever seen before. I noticed one of the stars was a pulsating red, it kept on getting bigger and bigger. I watched it with fascination, then all of sudden Idona was there. She had appeared out of nowhere, she stood there along beside me.
"You see the red star? That is our sun, you never got to see it during the daytime. It is about to die, and so is my people. That is why we sought out you."
"Why did you chose my people, we are not great our powerful. As you said before we are merely humans, all we have done is make the Goa'uld angry at us. How can we possibly stop a dying star? You are more powerful, your people have magic. Why don't you try to stop the star with your powers?"
"Not all of our people can wield the powers of the spirits, I am the last one. I am who they call the Crimson Lady I protect this world like my mother did before me, our sun is not really that old. The Goa'uld longships came and did something to it, we could hear them talking through frequencies. They were talking about some experiments on our sun, so they could blow up earth's one day. My people told me to warn you, so I did."
What did it mean that she was the Crimson Lady, is that why she wore red all the time. Red was the symbol of war, the color of spilt blood. She must have fought in a great war, how old was she? She looked young, yet it seemed that she was a protector. She was the one who had warned us, and came to earth for a little help. I dragged myself out of bed I had decided to give her a little help, I opened the door and went out of the room. I had to talk to Idona.
So how do you like part three? Please review and tell me what you think, or any ideas you want me to put in the story. Any ideas are welcome, so please give them to me as long as they're not dirty I'll try to include them in the story. Because you guys know how to write them, I don't because this is the first time I've ever been able to write a decent fic on this subject.
