Stargate SG-1

"New Eden"







Chapter 2 - Making Deals



A few days later.



New Eden

It was one day until the wedding and Skaara hadn't returned, but New Eden was still in tact, Osiris was away, and Klorel hadn't shown up yet. Artemis seemed like he was getting less worried that things would go wrong. Angelene and Artemis were in the Globe seeing what had been set up for the wedding already when they heard footsteps behind them. Please let it be Skaara! Angelene thought and then turned to see who had entered. No! Please let me be in a nightmare! It can't be! Not now! Not when I'm so close to be happy! Klorel! "You are not welcome here Klorel," Angelene told him as he walked towards her. She had seen his new host before when he had come to the Globe with Zapakna.

"But I thought all were welcome on New Eden," Klorel said.

"Yes, well the Globe is off limits to you for the time being," Angelene explained.

"I see."

"Klorel, what do you want here?" Angelene asked.

"I came to see if you would stop being foolish and marry me."

"No."

"Then I will kill Skaara!"

"No!"

"Then marry me!"

"I do not love you Klorel!"

"Love? What does love have to do with anything?"

"It's everything!"

"Then you will learn to love me!"

"I can't!"

"You will or he will die!"

"No!" Angelene yelled now crying in Artemis' arms. He would not be able to interfere; Klorel would kill him if he interfered. "I.I.I." Angelene left the Globe main room crying and headed down a corridor. Angelene was pulled into one of the meeting rooms. She was spun around to see that the Tok'ra Selmak had her by the shoulders. "Uncle Jacob?"

"What's wrong Angel Girl?" Jacob asked.

"Klorel says that he will kill Skaara if I don't marry him," Angelene said still crying. "But I don't love him! I'm afraid that if I don't marry Klorel that he will attack New Eden!"

"What?!" Jacob asked surprised.

"I have to keep New Eden safe!"

"You can't marry Klorel!"

"If it saves my people!"

"No! Wait.we'll find another way."

"How?"

"Just go tell Klorel that you will marry him and send word to Skaara that your marriage to him is off. You cannot tell him that anything other than you marrying Klorel is happening. We'll find a way around it. I'll go make a call to the Asguard," Jacob told her, "now tell Klorel that you are going to marry him!"

Angelene bowed her head and nodded and wiped her tears away. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Then she straitened herself and headed back to the Globe's main chamber. Klorel and Artemis were still there, and they just looked at her. "Okay," Angelene said quietly.

"You will marry me?" Klorel asked surprised.

"Yes," Angelene said coldly. "Artemis," Angelene said as she started to exit the main room of the Globe and she heard Artemis' footsteps behind her.





Abydos

The Abydonian Stargate disengaged as Artemis walked down the stone steps and was greeted by Abydonian young men with guns pointed at him. "I was sent by Princess Angelene from New Eden. I have something for Lord Skaara," Artemis announced as the Abydonians started to make a path. He heard something in the native language of Abydos and they all lowered their weapons and Skaara appeared.

"Greetings Artemis," Skaara said happily.

"Lord Skaara, I have brought a message for you from my lady," Artemis said handing Skaara the letter from Angelene.

Skaara took the letter, broke the seal, and started to read the letter. Skaara's happiness soon faded. Tears started to stream down his face, he looked up at Artemis, "what is happening?"

"I'm sorry my lord, but I am not sure myself.she will not talk to me," Artemis confessed.

"When are they to be married?"

"In less than an hour," Artemis answered.

"I will go with you," Skaara said starting towards the DHD.

"Yes, my lord," Artemis said and began to dial out to New Eden.





New Eden

The Globe was lit up by candles and the starry sky that was clearly seen through the glass ceiling. The natives of New Eden, Isis and Angelene's Jaffa, and several of the peoples who regularly met in the Globe, and Queen Isis were in attendance. Soon, the wedding began. Klorel walked Angelene down the walkway along with her guardian. Angelene was dressed in white and silver, while Klorel was dressed in black and gold. Angelene was trying to be strong, but it was hard. Please let him understand! I've lost too many of the people I love because of the Goa'uld.please let this be different! Angelene pushed back the tears that threatened to overwhelm her; she looked over at her guardian and knew that he knew why she was marrying Klorel. It was the only way to save New Eden, and Angelene would not let that happen to her precious world. At the end of the walkway stood the Queen of New Eden, Isis. She was dressed in white and silver also.

"It brings me great happiness to know that my daughter is to be married. I know that she will bring great and wondrous changes to New Eden! And as I have enjoyed my time as Queen of New Eden.I have learned much.I must step down. So, to all I announce Princess Angelene and Lord Klorel rulers of New Eden!" Isis said standing aside.

"You will learn to love me," Klorel whispered as he kissed Angelene in front of all gathered in the Globe.

Angelene started to feel dizzy; she couldn't stand up any longer. She started to collapse, but her guardian caught her. Angelene could see the fear in his eyes. I'm so sorry.I wanted to tell you! This was the only way out! "Take care of mother," Angelene said softly.

"You cannot die!" her guardian told her.

"I'm sorry.I love you all." Angelene breathed out as a solitary tear fell down the side of her face and then her eyes closed and she stopped breathing.

"Angelene!" Isis yelled in shock. She had now lost two daughters, the one she gave birth to and was too sick, and the one who brought love back into her heart. Isis collapsed onto the throne and watched as all of the natives and Jaffa of New Eden who were standing around kneeled to the ground.

"Angelene!" came the voice of Skaara as he and Artemis ran in to find Angelene's lifeless body on the floor and her guardian holding her. Skaara stopped as soon as he saw her. "No," he said silently.

"My lady!" Artemis said and went to her side. Bray'tac just looked at him and shook his head. Artemis was angry. He looked around and saw Klorel, who had no look of sadness on his face and then at their queen and then back at the princess he had sworn to protect.

"Angelene," Skaara said now approaching her. He knelt down next to her and then kissed her forehead. "I forgive you." he said so low that only he and Angelene would be able to hear. Tears began to rapidly cascade down Skaara's face. He looked up at Klorel and knew that he had killed Angelene. Skaara stood up, "you! You Klorel have killed her!" Skaara yelled pointing at Klorel. "Why must the Goa'uld destroy all that I care for?!" Skaara began to approach Klorel, "you have killed her and now.now she is gone!"

The Asguard known as Thor appeared in a beam of light before Isis. "We cannot save her, but we can examine her and tell you of what she died from," Thor offered and Isis merely nodded. Thor turned to Angelene just as a bluish light quickly scanned her body. Thor bowed his head and then turned back to Isis. He raised his head, "poison," was all he said before vanishing.

"Poison?" Isis questioned and then looked at Klorel. "You have done this! You have killed my daughter!" Isis was angry, without Angelene she was very close to being a true Goa'uld.heartless.uncaring.unforgiving.

"No! I have not done this!" Klorel yelled as he started to back away.

"You are hereby banished from New Eden!" Isis yelled, "Jaffa Kree! Take Lord Klorel to the Chap'aii and make sure he goes though!"

"Yes, my queen!" Artemis said as he and a group of Jaffa escorted Klorel out.

Bray'tac picked up Angelene. My princess.how could this have happened? I remember the day I brought you here.I never imagined that you would be taken away from us so quickly! Bray'tac carried Angelene out of the Globe's main room, but was pulled into a meeting room by a group of Tok'ra. He recognized one of the Tok'ra as Jacob Carter/Selmak. "What do you want? My lady is gone!"

"Give her to us, let us take her home to the place of her ancestors."

"To the Tau'ri homeworld?"

"Yes."

"Bury her in the place that she called the Emerald Isle," Bray'tac said as he handed the lifeless body of his princess over to Jacob.

"I will," Jacob promised.

"Thank you," Bray'tac said as he headed to the Stargate with them. Bray'tac watched as they left and then dialed Chulak and returned home.
