Major Sam Carter
'Wait! There's no mountain too great.'
I'm sitting here on top of Cheyenne Mountain, surrounded by the evening air and small trees. I feel warm tears flowing down my cheeks. I can't stop them. Today I lost a dear friend ... today I lost Daniel.
'Hear these words and have faith.'
He wasn't afraid to die, not that he really died ... he ascended to some higher plain of existence, like Orlin. He can come back and become solid again, just like Orlin. But maybe he doesn't want to; maybe this is the way he can fulfill his destiny.
'Have faith!'
Colonel O'Neill asked Dad to stop healing him. He said that Daniel wanted this ascension to happen but he never spoke about it. Why did he confide in Jack? Why didn't he ask me? I could have stopped him. I could have asked him to stay. Colonel O'Neill told me it was going to be okay but how can it be okay? Daniel is gone.
'He lives in you.' I told him that Jonas stole some of the Naquadria for us and that it had been a big risk. He said it was because of what he had done. I think it could be important but it can't bring you back to us ... to me. I told him that he has an effect on people.
'He lives in me.'
At least he had one on me. I only needed 5 years to realize it. The way he looked at things, it changed all of us too. I saw what really mattered. I told him that people always wait to tell others how they really feel about each other. I hoped he knew that I loved him ... I loved him like a brother.
'He watches over...'
I know he'll be watching us from up there, just like Orlin watched me. He'll watch us go on missions, he'll watch us win our fight against the Goa'uld. I know he'll watch us when we forgive Jonas but I don't know yet if I can forgive him or his people for what they did to Daniel. It's because of their ignorance that I have lost a dear friend and brother.
'...Everything we see.'
I know whenever I'll see a ruin or a rock I'll think of him. And I'll know he will be watching me and silently telling me it's not a rock but an artifact. I can't help but smile as I think of the many times Daniel and Colonel O'Neill had their happy little chat about the 'rocks'.
'Into the water...'
I feel the first raindrops fall and somehow it's like Mother Nature is crying for the loss of Daniel too. Maybe this is the way Oma Desala wants us to know she will look after him. Or maybe this is Daniel's doing showing he feels sad for leaving us ... I hope.
'...Into the truth.'
Jonas told his government the truth about what had happened in the lab and he had seen their faces when he had informed them about the power of the Naquadria. He felt guilty for what had happened and I can see him suffer from it. He left his planet and brought some of it back but I don't know if the Naquadria is safe in the hands of our leaders. I made a bomb for them once with Naquada. It blew a planet to pieces and almost took Earth along with it. They could ask me again and might even use the bomb on Earth, blowing our beautiful planet into oblivion. Mom taught me to tell the truth ... and truth be told I am afraid I might one day create that one piece of technology that would do just that, destroy the planet and leave the universe to the Goa'uld.
'In your reflection.'
Tomorrow when I wake up and look into the mirror I'll see two blue eyes stare back at me, wondering where it will go from here. To be honest, I don't know. It will be so different without him with us. I don't know if I will be able to continue this madness without him by our side.
'He lives in you.'
"Goodbye Daniel! I'll miss you!" I whisper in the wind and I hope he can hear me. "Until we meet again?" I don't mean this to sound like a question but it does and in some strange way I want him to tell me or at least give me some sign that he'll be back. He will always live inside that special place in my heart, only reserved to very dear friends and family. Daniel lives on in all of us, he won't be forgotten. "Farewell little brother!"
The End
