"Stargates, Dragons, and Amazons"
Ch. 8
(Amazon Village, Morning)
The members of SG-1 stood around the massive, neatly bed of wood. A few Amazons placed Princess Shias rapped body. Then the two Amazons light the bed of wood. The Dragon Amazons and SG-1 stared at the fire as the princess' dead body burned. The queen sang an Amazon Funeral Song. The song ended and that signified that the funeral was over.
Tris's mind began to wonder in the middle of the burning. She should have saved Shia. No matter how much the deceased princess fought against her. If she could have lived, Tris would have found out what disease Shia had and would have been able to save her. She had promised herself no matter what, to be a healer first and a warrior later.
Tris went over to Queen Andromeda. The two needed to talk. Rommie and Tris went into the queen's room and ate breakfast as they talked.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about, Trisana?" she asked.
"My friends and I can give you weapons to help fight the Goa'uld. We can teach you how to use them," she said.
Tris had told her about the Gau'uld and that were really the Serpent Demons. She had told her friends last night about their conversation they had before the party. Jack agreed that they needed to at lest offer their services.
Rommie shook her head. "Thank you for the kind offer. But, we have managed this long without help," she said. "We have the allegiance of many other Amazon Tribes, Tris. That is all the help we need. When you become Queen you may change our laws as you see fit"
"There are other Amazon Tribes on this planet other then the Dragons?" Tris asked.
"Yes, of course," she said. "We are friends with all, except one,"
"Which tribe is that?'
"They do not call themselves anything. However, we call them the War Amazons. Ares, the God of War, picked their descendants for this particular tribe. All Ares thought them to do is start wars and cause destruction," Rommie told her.
"Have you and the War Amazons ever had any contact with one another?" Tris had to ask.
"Oh goodness, yes," the queen sighed. "We are about to go to war with them soon, I have a feeling. It is about time. The war between us was bound to happen sooner or later."
"Oh great," Tris said sarcastically. This is just what we need, another war and another enemy to fight. She thought. Tris got up. "Well then if you will excuse me my friends and I must be going back to earth now," she said.
"Wait, Princess Trisana!" Rommie got up as Tris made her way to the door. "You are our princess now. This is your home now."
"I can't stay and watch these people get slaughtered. Especially when you can protect yourselves against your enemies," Tris said angrily.
Tris made her way to the Guest room where she had found the others.
"Well . . . ?" Jack asked.
"Nope, she says they do not need our help. When I become Queen, I may change the laws. Or so she says," Tris said, agitated.
"Or so she says?" Daniel asked.
"Don't you want to be able to help them?" Sam asked.
"Of course I do, Sam," she said.
"Then why don't we?" Sam argued.
"Because they won't let us," Jack said.
"Let their own ignorance kill them off one by one. In time Queen Andromeda will see what a mistake she made in turning down our offer," Tris glanced at them. "Are we ready to go home?"
They all looked at one another and nodded.
(Debriefing Room)
"What a find!" Daniel said excitedly after Tris told them about the different tribes. "Two lost Amazon tribes on one planet! This is amazing! One erased from the history books almost completely, the other a rumored tribe confirmed," His blue eyes wide, like a child in a candy store.
"Easy Daniel," Jack said, grinning. He turned to the General. "We offered our services to help them fight the Goa'uld."
"They declined, sir," Sam answered.
"Because they're to short-sided for there own well," Tris said before Hammond could ask why they had declined.
"Thank you," the General looked around. "SG-1, I'm putting you on leave for two days until its next mission. I think you have earned it. You're all dismissed."
"Thank you, sir," Sam said.
Teal'c bowed.
"Oh Tris," Jack said as they all got up.
"Yeah,"
"Where'd you learn how to dance like that?" he said.
"Hush," Tris said.
He started to imitate the Amazon Dance as they made there way down the stairs. Tris zapped him with lightening down at his feet.
"Ow!" Jack said, still dancing as they then made their way out of the base.
"Then stop mocking me!" she said.
He still danced around. Sam and Daniel became overcome with laughter. Sam sore he saw a small smile on his face. This is a rare thing, indeed. Tris zapped Jack again.
"Stop it! I will keep zapping you, Colonel, unless you stop. You've known me long enough to where you would at least know I can!" Tris said.
Jack finally stopped dancing, clearly afraid of being zapped by Tris again.
"Thank you," Tris put the lightening away.
"You two can be so childish sometimes," Daniel said, still laughing.
"I know," Tris and Jack, said together proudly.
Daniel and Sam shook their heads, smiling.
"Hey, anyone want to come over to my place tomorrow night?" Tris said. "I'm cooking my mom's infamous Homemade Lasagna for dinner."
They all looked at each other and nodded.
"Yeah," Jack said. "I never miss out on a home cooked meal."
"That sounds great. Count me in," Sam said.
"I will be most honored to come, Trisana," Teal'c said.
Jack looked over to Daniel. "Daniel?"
"I actually was hoping on getting some translations done," he said.
"Daniel," Jack said.
"But, I could always do that later I guess," he said slowly. "Sure, I'll come."
"Fantastic," Tris said. "I'll see you all tomorrow night around 1700 hours then"
"That sounds good to me," Jack said.
"Me too," Sam said.
The five changed into their street clothes and then left the base.
