"So Daniel, come up with anything?"
Jack had managed too drag his eyes from Sam long enough too notice Daniel deep in conversation with a native man next too him. Daniel looked up from his conversation and addressed his colleagues.
"I'm not getting too far. The language is very ancient and I recognise a few words from an ancient Greek tongue but the dialect is very unique"
He took in his friends blank faces and realised maybe he should give them some information which would be of use too them although he wasn't sure how happy Sam would be.
"They think Sam is one of their.. Goddesses"
No kidding thought Jack; she certainly looks the part. Perfect eye candy!
"You're kidding right?" Sam's voice sounded half surprised half-desperate for Daniel too say he was in fact kidding.
"I'm afraid not Sam they think you're the goddess Marush Hob, considered too be the goddess of romantic love, sexual desire and physical beauty"
Sam looked like she wanted the earth too open from under her and swallow her up. Jack looked impressed. Tealc smiled, yes he actually smiled and Daniel continued.
"As I said they are descendants of an Ancient civilisation. The beliefs are virtually extinct, little is known of the ancient world Marush and her fellow gods and goddesses existed in. From what I can remember very little is archived. That's why I cant quite pin point the dialect"
"Why do they think I am this goddess Daniel?"
"I have no idea"
"You certainly look like one now though."
Damn did he say that aloud? Moreover, in the same lustful voice as the one in his head? Oh yeah he had. Daniel had smiled and turned his attention back too the man beside him, Tealc had arched his eyebrow and poked at some meat on his plate and Sam had turned a deeper shade of pink. Jack shifted in his chair uncomfortably and avoided eye contact with the blushing 'goddess'.
They continued in the revelry of the banquet in silence. Daniel extracting what little information he could due too the lack of communication. The people around them ate, voices raised in high spirits and Sam felt eyes upon her the whole time. She picked at her food, uncomfortable at being centre of attention. Some of the natives stood and danced bowing too her as they stood or sat. Jack and Tealc watched the dancers or also ate and drank what had been served.
When the banquet came to the end, Sam was once more ushered from her seat; the people also standing and raising their goblets raising their voices too toast her. She blushed and allowed herself too be lead away from all the attention. The others tried too follow but were held back by the crowd instead being ushered in an opposite direction into luxurious apartments. Jack was starting too get impatient at the fact his 2IC kept on being taken away from them and he voiced his feeling too Daniel
"Daniel we need answers. How do we know their not brainwashing her or something?"
"I doubt that Jack, as I said before they haven't acted hostile towards any of us. If they were trying too brainwash Sam they would have tried, too keep us out of the loop. So far, they have been quite friendly"
Tealc, who had taken the opportunity too look around the apartments they had been placed in which consisted of three large expansive rooms, joined them once more.
"I believe I have found the reason why these people believe Major Carter is their goddess"
Daniel and Jack looked at him curiously and he once more exited the room into the apartment too their left. Curious they followed suite into the middle apartment this seemed too be the sleeping quarters. Large four posted platforms covered with heavy sheets of white and ivory covered them, along with large cushions of silver and pastel pink. Jack and Daniel glanced about wondering what Tealc was getting at. Tealc looked at them and glanced upwards, Jack and Daniel both looked up and a gasp of surprise, the ceilings was decorated in pictures and symbols above the 'beds'. Each picture depicted a beautiful goddess, surrounded by worshippers similar too the natives. The goddess was a mirror image of Samantha Carter. Jack once more stood opened mouthed and tongue-tied. It was definitely the eyes. They seemed too shine from the pictures. He looked over too Daniel who was mouthing something quietly too himself.
"Daniel?"
"The inscriptions surrounding the pictures, each one depicts what she held power over."
He raised his hand as he spoke pointing too each picture.
"This one reads, Sayana Hob, goddess of romantic love."
The goddess was depicted standing above her worshippers with silver dust flying from her body. The dust swirled around the picture and some had settled on some of the worshippers that were depicted kissing and caressing.
Daniel moved around the room and looked at the next picture as Jack sat on one of the 'beds' and bounced lightly on it.
"This one reads, Sharess, goddess of physical beauty"
This picture depicted the goddess sitting in an ornamental throne being sunned by two female servants as worshipers surrounded her looking at themselves in mirrors or caressing each others faces and bodies. They were dressed seductively, erotic and revealing showing their physical beauty.
Jack slipped of his heavy jacket and lay back in his t-shirt against the soft coverings of the bed he was in and looked up at the third picture. Daniel approached him and looked up at the same picture, which depicted the goddess laying naked on a platform similar too the one Jack, was currently lying on surrounded by her worshippers who if they were not worshipping her were in involved in some sexual activities with each other. 'Very Karma Sutra' thought Jack.
"This one says, Aymara, goddess of sexual desire. From what I can remember all three were names were for Marush Hob depending on where you hailed from. Fascinating a civilisation living completely by this lost ancient history.'
"Fascinating" repeated Jack in a sarcastic voice "I'm sure Carter will agree"
Daniel glared at him, wondering how he could miss the whole point and returned his attention back too the pictures. Tealc had taken up stance by a window looking out at the scenery. A servant dressed in revealing clothing entered, and seeing Jack lying on the platform raised her voice and approached hi chattering delightedly. Jack sat up and looked from her too Daniel raising his eyebrows. Daniel shrugged his shoulders and tried too keep up with the woman who had now taken hold of Jacks hand and was ushering him back out of the quarters. Jack tried too resist but more servants joined the female and he too was swept in a tide of barely dressed servants. Daniel looked at Tealc who looked back at him and returned his gaze too the outside scene. Daniel tried to follow but as soon as Jack's presence had exited their quarters the door had been closed on him and two servants had pulled him to a reclining chair and started too pull off his clothing. After managing too keep his trousers on the servants had started too massage him. He sat back and allowed them, Jack would just have too fend for himself.
