Rating: G
Season six (set before Full Circle)
Spoilers: Prophecy
Characters: Jonas, Col. O'Neill, other(Amy) Teal'c, and Sam.
Category: supernatural, mystery, angst.
Side Note: This story is set after my previous story "The Bend in the Road". Now you can still read this if you haven't read the previous one but you might get a bit confused, especially on who Amy is and the talk of the device. Also to those who read the other story I may very well give some answers about the device so some questions may be answered. Also P3X-278 was just made up if it's an actually planet or someone else's sorry, it was unintentional.
Personal Note: My apologies for taking so long in writing this story. My family is trying to move across country and with senior year things have just been nuts. I might add that my computer deleting three chapters of this didn't help. Either way I hope you all enjoy, and I'll update as often as I can! God Bless!
Yet another Side Note: Yes, I did change the title. I had an issue with it for some odd reason. Sorry if the characters seem a bit off, I wrote and proofed this at like 1 in the morning.
Mysteries Unraveled
By Ans4Christ
Sg-1 was tracking through the sand on another barren world. From what they were able to tell no life inhabited this planet, but they were continuing on because the MALP had shown remains of a temple far ahead. They reached it and searched it, but nothing but cracked and corroded walls remained, not even writings seemed to have survived the harsh element of wind and sand.
"Well this has been a wonderful waste of time." Colonel O'Neill stated the wind nearly blowing his hat off.
"We had to check it out sir, there could have been something of use here." Sam pointed out.
"But there wasn't Carter, that's the point. We wasted our time on a windy and sandy planet. I mean if it was nice and tropical with a beach or something to look at it wouldn't have been so bad. But the windy and sandy planets drive me nuts."
"What about Abydos Sir?" Sam asked with a smirk.
He paused," Okay that is the only planet I like with sand. But again at least there's life there. Jonas! Did you find anything at all?"
Jonas shook his head as he stepped out of what remained of the temple." No sir, nothing. If there were writings they've been gone for a long time. One thing's for sure though, whoever built this temple hasn't been around for centuries."
"Isn't that the least bit unnerving to anyone, to be in a place that has been deserted? I mean why are they all gone?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
Jonas shrugged, "I have no idea sir. There is literally nothing here to explain this."
"Well now that we know whatever it is that we know, or should I say don't know, maybe we should head back to the gate."
Teal'c stood staring in the other direction." The wind appears to be growing in strength." He stated.
Colonel O'Neill walked over to him." It's a windy planet Teal'c, that's gonna happen."
"I think Teal'c's right sir, it feels windier now than it was an hour or so ago." Sam said.
"Maybe it's getting winder because evening's approaching, or maybe a storm front's moving in." Jonas suggested.
"Listen to him guys, he lives on the Weather Channel." Colonel O'Neill said. They all stared at him, "Well he made a good point."
"Either way," Sam began shaking her head," We should probably try to get off of this high spot. It'll be less windy when we head back into the valley."
"Yes, but what happens when we get to the top again?" Colonel O'Neill asked. They all stared at him again. "Seriously, what?" They continued to stare," Let's go shall we." He said and strode forward.
As they walked back to the gate the wind continued to pick up and swirl around them. At times it seemed as if the wind was an angry being spying upon these strangers that dared be upon its world. Day continued to fade and as night drew in, they all hurried their pace in hopes of making it back before complete nightfall. Even though no life appeared on this planet there was an eerieness about it that made all of them uncomfortable and yearn to leave. Finally they began to see the Stargate in the distance. It stood out to them amidst the drawing darkness. When they were about 100 feet away Jonas stopped.
"Jonas! What are you doing? Let's get out of here!" Colonel O'Neill called.
"Something fell out of my pack. I'm just getting it." Jonas bent down to get the book that had somehow fallen out, but the wind quickly covered it. Jonas swept the sand around to find it, finally he did. He grabbed the book and stood to leave. Looking for that book was a memory that years later still gave him an chill.
At that moment the wind seemed to grow stronger then ever and it almost seemed to whirl around them. In the spots that they all were standing it continued to whirl around and around to the point that they couldn't see; the stand beneath them began to ebb away. Slowly the sand seemed to open up and they were drawn down deeper and deeper, into the depths of sand, and slowly it swallowed them all. The wind died down and the sand ceased to blow; the land was covered with the stillness of night.
