"What is it?" Jonas asked as Tobias handed him a very old book
"It will help you understand"
Jonas read the passage as Tobias had instructed him.
To those we call Custodians, we come to your land, offering hope to all.
Tobias started to speak in what seemed like his native language again almost like Spanish back on Earth, it was the first time Jonas had heard him speak like that, so while he read the text out loud, he also took note of a few things that were spoke by the man.
In time we shall send travellers through your ring, these travellers will come from that we call the gifted land. They will travel with the one who carries the child who one day will process that which we have chosen for her.
We have set aside land where she will come forth in safety away from the evil we know all to well. But first we must truly know she is the one gifted by us. To this end when her day arrives in the hours before she is given, we will decide her fate with a test.
The child will be given on this land only once the test has been passed.
The test brings great pain and may lead us to decide both she who we have blessed and the gift held within are not worthy of such fate.
At night she will come to your land, the signs will show themselves, the ground will shake like never before, she who process that which brings the future, will be held on this land, protected from all except our test and her fate.
Once the pain within comes at first light it will bring forth the final test and by night our answer given.
The test taken harmless once before, to bring this day, will ultimately lead to death if she fights it alone. Light will come and take, what we give until the hands of her fate is decided.
We have chosen one, who has great darkness in his soul. But we believe right to give him the choice for them to live, we have shown him what we must, it is up to him to make the choice to love again. We believe he has the strength to do so, if he can, then his life is hers a bond never broken, there to guide her till her journeys end, till his time has come, when he most choose, to safe guard that which we give.
Jonas couldn't be sure but from the little he had attempted to translate from Tobias as he had read the text he had just quoted what he had spoke from memory alone.
It was also a little odd that what he had just read was written entirely in English.
"Daniel com in this Jonas" he called over the radio waiting for a reply
"Jonas Quinn, Daniel Jackson has returned to the SGC" Teal'c replied
"Teal'c have you managed to reach Sam and Jack yet?"
"Our progress here is unsatisfactory"
"Teal'c if my theory is correct, they are in trouble, Sam at least"
"This is Fraiser Jonas what's happening"
"I'm with Tobias in a temple of some sort, he's given me a book, although it's slightly different it seems to describe the same events as the writing the Asguard gave us and those found on P5X252"
There was a silence over the radio
"I can't be sure, but I don't think Sam and Jack are alone in the cave" Jonas added turning to speak to Tobias "you know this pretty well?" Jonas quizzed
"Yes, I have studied it well for this day"
"Mind if I borrow it?"
"It is not permitted"
"Tobias, my friends and I need to learn more if we are to help our friends and the child Major Carter is carrying, they don't know your land if they are some how accidentally on the land this book gives reference to"
"She is"
"Major Carter isn't prepared for a test"
"He is with her, she shall fair well"
"All the same I'd like to take a closer look, but we really need to head back and help the others"
Tobias thought for a moment
"Tobias please, Major Carter would be very grateful"
"It will help you understand"
