Sam had been ushered in a large room. A large four-posted bed was situated
in the middle of the high ceilinged room and was covered by sheets of silk
and satin materials. Large cushions were spread over the bed and around
the room. She was lead into a smaller adjoining apartment and gasped in
delight. A large bath was built into the floor of the room, surrounded by
Greek columns and the ornamentation on the walls alone was a delight too
her eyes. The bath had been filled with a milky white liquid and as she
gazed around at the breathtaking sight two female servants slowly undressed
her from the garments she wore. They led her forward and down into the
bath, where they made her lay back and bathe as they massaged her head with
oils. She relaxed as the sweet ointments filled her senses. She found
herself revelling in the fact that she of all people was being treated like
a queen for once. It made a change from being treated like a lower being
because she was female like some of the worlds they had travelled too.
Once the servants had finished their massage they helped her from the bath
and made her lay down and massaged oils slowly into her drying skin.
They dressed her hair placing glittering jewels and small intricate flowers into it. Then they covered her feet with similar sandals as before this time the intricate swirls of silver covered her toes as well as her ankles. Standing her, they dressed her in a small shimmering dress, which clung to her body. The dress reached too mid thigh and shimmered in pink and silver. It revealed more than she would usually allow but strangely she felt more comfortable than she thought she would. Covering only her left shoulder they decorated her right with silver jewels and glittering dust, they then placed a heavy robe around her shoulders, which fell too the floor. Its feel soft against her skin, it flowed and shimmered as they led her back into the large room, too the bed. Stepping onto the platform, they bid her too sit in the middle spreading the robe she wore so it reached all around, stretching from her shoulders outwards from her body. After bowing too her they sprayed sweet sensual smelling perfumes around her and one knelt by the bed as another walked too a small table by the door. Raising a small gong, the female rang it and a soft tingling sound resonated from it. She lay the gong back down and knelt at the opposite side of the bed, facing the door.
Sam looked at the door intently and somewhat curious as too what was about too happen. She had a feeling she was going too again be paraded. This time it was her turn, too gasp. The doors opened and a man entered wearing a long robe of silver and blue. Following him were males. They were dressed in long trousers of grey with silver streaking through them glinting in the sunlight. Long silken robes of the same grey/silver colour covered their shoulders and arms, their bare chests glistened from the oils they had had massaged into their skin. They were barefoot and very attractive. Sam had too hold back a cry of delight and laughter as Jack O'Neill stood among them, a hidden glare on his face mixed with astonishment that the woman in front of him was indeed Samantha Carter. The Male in the blue robe stepped forward uttering words of no meaning too Sam and pointing his finger along the row of six men in front of her. Sam looked confused and shrugged her shoulders as too what he was saying. He beckoned too one of the female sitting by her and whispered into her ear. The female quickly exited the room and Sam looked at Jack in wonderment at the proceeding that was going on. Awkward silence filled the room, neither of them knew what too say too each other, and so they stayed silent until the female servant returned with a confused Daniel Jackson and Tealc in tow.
Daniel's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Sam and he nearly collapsed when he saw Jack. Tealc also looked surprised and stood by the doorway glancing between Sam and Jack. Surpressing a snort of laughter Daniel looked at the male who started too address him babbling in the strange language. Daniel studied what he was saying for a moment and realisation suddenly crossed his face. He turned too Sam grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"They" he pointed too the men standing behind him "Have been chosen for you to choose. Their gifts Sam, apparently the best they have too offer"
"What?" came the incredulous reply from Jack as Sam looked disbelivingly at Daniel.
"Their gifts Sam and you have too choose one of them too share your bed!"
Sam's eyes narrowed and glared at Daniel who was thoroughly enjoying his friend's predicament.
"How very Abydonian" she replied slyly and it was Daniel's turn too blush, Jack grinned
"Touché Major" he said impressed at her quick whit.
The man uttered more babbling too Daniel and Daniel muttered something back, he was then ushered from the room once more along with Tealc. Sam guessed Daniel had told the man he had explained what she had too do and finding no more need too have him there had had him taken away so they could get on with the proceedings. The man stepped forward towards her once more and uttered the same words as before pointing too the row of men. The female servants stood by the bed and held out their hands too her. She stood and took their hands and they helped her step down from the platform and led her slowly along the row of men, she guessed she had too inspect them and so glanced each one up and down slowly. She held in a smile as she passed Jack who looked embarrassed and peeved that he had too take part in such proceedings. After pretending too inspect the line the females let go of her hands and motioned for her too choose. She stepped forward and lightly touched Jack on the chest. If she was going too choose she would be choosing a man, she knew. She was secretly thankful he was in the line, partly because she wouldn't know what she would have done had she of had too choose a stranger and half because he looked mighty damn fine in that outfit and she was determined too make the most of the situation.
The small man in blue babbled in a delighted voice and ushered the other five dejected looking men from the room. Jack raised his eyebrows and looked at Sam who shrugged her shoulders and looked at the female servants. They smiled too her, and led Jack and she to reclining chairs and a low standing table by the large ceiling too floor windows. Seating them comfortably they laid trays of goblets of wine and fruit on the table and departed the room closing the doors behind them.
Jack looked at Sam and she stared back. Both broke into smiles and looked each other up and down once more. Jack stood and looked down at himself and Sam sat up from the reclined position she had been placed in.
"Nice outfit Sir" she grinned as he ran his hand over his chest and screwed his nose up at the smell of the heavily scented musky oil on his hand. He looked down at her and frowned slightly, his eyes playfully rested over her own outfit.
"You too Marush. Very. revealing"
Sam blushed and pulled the robe covering her shoulders further around her body. She froze slightly as Jack's hand reached out too prevent her pulling the robe further around her. He sat by her and looked deeply in her eyes. It had been a long time since they had looked at each other that way. A few glances were all they had dared give in too due too their work. However this situation was giving them a unique opportunity and they both wondered if they dared too deal with the problem directly. Jack didn't want too order or force Sam into anything and Sam didn't want too let the opportunity slip through her fingers, neither did she want anything too happen between them, which would have repercussions on their friendship.
Jack broke the awkward silence thinking it wise too inform Sam of why the natives thought her too be their goddess.
"We've figured out why they think you're this Marush Hob. In our quarters, they have got pictures plastered on the ceilings of a woman who looks uncannily like you."
Sam looked surprised and glanced upwards, the ceiling depicted pictures of worshippers similarly dressed in the robes the natives had been dressed in at the banquet. Golden flowers were entiwined around the pictures and stretched along the ceiling. Sam stood and followed the lines, looking up at each picture, as she neared the bed she realised the golden adornment of flowers swirled into a great circle above the platformed four poster bed. Jack followed her, gaze and approached her as she stood near the bed. She had lean and crane her neck too see past the material covered post of the bed. She gasped in awe as a picture of the goddess was depicted in the swirling ring of gold. She was dressed in similar attire as herself and a man caressed her with kisses in similar robes as Jack. The flowers entwined around them and she realised rather than swirling toward her, the flowers swirled from the goddess too her people and worshippers. Sam had never seen such a beautiful creature, her hair was long and golden blonde, her eyes were blue and seemed too glisten. Her skin looked soft and pale, her lips sweetly reddened and sensuous. The man seemed too be a captivated as she herself was with the goddess' picture. She couldn't understand how the people had thought she was this goddess. She turned too voice her opinion too Jack.
