Author's note: I know. I'm eating my words, aren't I? But I just couldn't leave this story as it was, it was driving me utterly insane. So here we go, the next, happy chapter. Song is by Coldplay, Daylight.

The stars flashed past, As Daniel flew through the wormhole, he focused on the thoughts in his head, rather then the brilliant array of colour around him. Stepping onto the hard pedestal holding the gate above the grass, he looked around, searching for a Jaffa patrol.

Seeing none, he took more of a closer look at his surroundings, noticing the barren landscape, black, dead trees and destroyed landscape. Frowning, he stepped forward, feeling his breathing become more ragged as he smelt the ash.

The planet had been wiped out.

Taking it as a curse, Daniel slumped to his knees, crying out loudly and pulling at his hair. Hearing the sound of a staff weapon, Daniel looked up to find himself staring at a very dusty, aggravated Jaffa.

"Kalshak! Kree! Jaffa!"

Daniel closed his eyes.

"Kill me." He whispered, devoid of emotion. "Kill me now."

Suddenly a ghostly voice, one somewhat familiar, spoke lightly into his ear.

"You must not give-up Dan-yel." Sha'uri said quietly. "You must survive. Survive for the Haresis. Survive, for my child."

To my surprise, and my delight
I saw sunrise, I saw sunlight
I am nothing in the dark
And the clouds burst to show daylight

Looking up in shock, Daniel registered only the sound of the weapon being fired, before everything went into a haze.

Suddenly Daniel was standing atop the pedestal, holding the hand of Sha'uri, they were staring into each others eyes, smiling lightly.

"You must survive Dan-yel." Sha'uri said, her voice echoing. "Find my child."

"Sha'uri!" Daniel screamed, as she began to fade. "Don't leave me again!"

But it was too late, she was gone and Daniel was lying on his side, the Jaffa long gone, as he struggled to the DHD. Dialing the planet, he pulled himself through the horizon, landing on the sand with a thud.

Ooh and the sun will shine
Yeah on this heart of mine
Ooh and I realise
Who cannot live without
Ooh come apart without It
On a hill top, on a sky-rise
Like a first born child
At full tilt, and in full flight
Defeat darkness, breaking daylight

Ooh and the sun will shine
Yeah on this heart of mine
Ooh and I realise
Who cannot live without
Ooh come apart without
Daylight

Everything went black.

"I need 30mls EP." Called a familiar voice through the black haze. Opening his eyes slightly, Daniel focused on the person above him, a woman. He felt a tap on his shoulder.

"It's going to be alright Doctor Jackson." Janet Frasier said kindly, "It's going to be alright."

It was going to be alright.

Ooh and the sun will shine
Yeah on this heart of mine
Ooh and I realise
Who cannot live without
Ooh come apart without
Daylight

He had to find the child.

It was his mission, his new reason to live.

The end.

No more chapters! (sighs) I couldn't leave this story to be a sad ending with my 'waiting for you' being so sad and all.
