For REVIEWING! COME ON PEOPLE REVIEW REVIEW!
Before Jack could reply a young boy who appeared to be about eight or nine came bounding up saying, "Mata, Mata!"
He stopped right before Kari and started spouting off something in Ancient and pointing to a deep open wound in his head. "Antanas…" she scolded. Jack couldn't figure out if that was a word in the ancient language or the boy's name.
He leaned over towards Daniel, and whispered, "What are they saying?"
Daniel whispered in an equally low voice, "Well, I'm assuming since Mata is a derivation of mater meaning mother, that he, Antanas is referring to her as his mother."
Jack was dumbstruck; he looked at Daniel as though he was about to pound him to the ground. However before he got the chance Kari spoke up, "Your friend is right Colonel, and I warn you your whisperings will accomplish nothing, for every bellatres here has very acute hearing."
"Well, uh thanks for the warning." Jack said a little too cheerfully.
She turned her attention back to her son and rubbed another herb concoction onto the open wound, then, she placed her hand over it and closed her eyes, looking as though she were looking for something. Suddenly the skin underneath her hand started glowing a bluish white, and after a few more seconds when she removed her hand the wound looked as though it were never there. However Kari looked as though she could faint any minute. A few more women in the hospital rushed to her aide and led her outside the tent and towards the larger one.
"Well that went well," stated Daniel, quite sarcastically.
"What do you want with my mother?" a voice behind them interrupted.
They turned around to find Antanas staring expectantly at them. "Well what do you want with her?"
Jack took this as an opportunity, "You speak English?"
Antanas looked insulted, "Of course it was my first language. Now you haven't answered my question what do you want with my mother?"
"Well Antanas, if that's your name?" Jack looked at him questioningly and continued when the boy nodded with an air about him that demanded respect. "Your mother just happens to be my daughter."
"Right, no really why are you here?" Antanas stated unbelievingly.
Carter stepped in, "Antanas he's telling the truth, your mother is his daughter."
Antanas eyed Jack suspiciously, "You are Jack O'Neill?"
"Yes." Jack stated simply.
"Very well, then I must warn you about the danger you are placing yourselves while you are here."
"Whoa whoa whoa wait, you actually believe me?"
Antanas looked annoyed, "Look, I know I am only nine of your years, however I am not stupid, I know when someone is lying to me."
"Okay, I can deal with that." Jack's curiosity now coming to peak, "What is this danger are we in here exactly?"
"My Father." He stated as if that would explain everything.
Daniel stepped a little skeptically, "Your father?"
Antanas took a deep breath and began his story, "Okay, from what my mother has told me. My Father is an evil man, a man who thirsts for blood and war. He makes slaves of the strong and kills off the weak—"
"Oh we have another Hitler do we?" Jack asked.
"Who?" Antanas asked.
"Ignore him," Daniel said, "Please go on."
"Anyways as I was saying. He was the one who brought my mother here."
"Why?" Daniel asked.
Antanas took another deep breath that made him look as though he were thirty. "Long ago, our race the Ancients were infected with a plague that we could not cure. Many of us learned how to ascend, and the rest died out."
"Yes we've heard that."
"But I am sure you have not heard that there were those who chose not to follow The Others. The leader was named Aurora, she was one of the most powerful of those who had ascended, and while The Others had no concern for the suffering that was going on in the galaxies, she did. Aurora figured out a way to descend, without losing all of her powers, however there was a minor glitch. To keep your powers you had to be a female. So as a result she had only female followers. Anyway once she and her followers had all descended she swore everyone to use the powers that they had acquired for the good of mankind only."
"However, one day her own sister Marcia, rebelled against her, using her powers to harm anyone and everyone. Marcia and Aurora battled to the death, Aurora defeated Marcia, however in the process it greatly weakened her, and everyone knew that she would soon die. Aurora was the only one who knew of Marcia's son, whom she had conceived while ascended, which meant that he now carried the powers of two ascended beings. The only one who would be capable of defeating him would be Aurora, who had a daughter of her own. On her deathbed Aurora prophesied that her daughter's line would continue down through the ages, until at the time predetermined, would she reenter this world reincarnated."
"After her death, her daughter, Aurelia, took up the title Protectress. That title has been passed down from mother to daughter for centuries. Until now. My Mother is the reincarnated Aurora. It is her destiny to destroy the descendant of Marcia, my Father."
Jack just stood there taking all this in. "Wait, so your saying that my daughter is some reincarnated queen?"
"In basic terms? Yes. She is."
"Okay, I couldn't sworn that my hearing was fine when I got it checked last week."
"Well, what does that make you exactly?" Daniel asked.
Jack not noticing that he was looking at Antanas replied, "Well how should I know Daniel I am not a doctor!"
"Actually I was talking to Antanas Jack. I mean if your mother and father possess the powers that your talking about do you…"
"No. I do not possess any powers, in fact I am the first son to be born to a Protectress, never has it happened before."
"Right, so exactly how does this battle work? I mean if you're here…and your mother is here, and your father went to all the trouble of coming to earth just to get her, I mean he must've known right?"
"That is correct."
"And he does know that it's her job to destroy him right?"
Again Antanas took a deep breath, "My Mother would not approve of me telling any part of this legend, especially this next part that you are asking about. But for some reason I feel you should know."
"There is another part to the legend. It states that if the Progenitor, meaning my Father, turns the reincarnated Aurora to his side, then they will conquer the galaxies and their rule will last until the end of time."
"Ah. There's always that little catch isn't there?" Jack stated pointedly.
"But there's really nothing to worry about right seeing as how she's not. Is she?"
"No. However, my Father believes she is."
"I always said she'd make it in show business." Jack sighed.
Antanas looked at him questioningly. "Forget about him, not much of what he says is important anyways." Daniel stated quickly, getting a death glare from Jack.
"A—" Before he could say another word a sound that resembled some kind of an alarm was sounded. Antanas' eyes widened. "He has returned."
He looked back at the
team, "Quickly there is no time to get you through the stargate you
must take the pathway into the mountains."
"Antanas!" Kari
came running in through the doorway. "Forget the pass. There's no
time. Ninane," she indicated to the young warrior next to her,
"Will take you to see Alecto." She stopped a question from a very
impatient looking Jack, "Look I warned you to get out of here, but
now its too late. We're going to pretend that you're our
prisoners, trespassers. With any luck I should be able to convince
Alecto that we can turn you. I'm sure Antanas has told you all
about that." Giving a sly glare at her son, who turned his eyes to
the floor. "The best we're going to be able to do is organize an
escape, he'll know your Tari and must've had some way of getting
out. I and my people will do our best to aide you but for now you
have to trust us. Once you're inside you're cell I will send the
maid down there with a pick, so you can pick the lock, after that
you'll be on your own. I can't endanger my people any more than I
already have. Good luck."
And with a swish of her hips, and hair she left, hurriedly, followed by Antanas. Niniane, motioned for them to follow her. 'Well, let's go meet the son-in-law.' Jack thought drudgingly.
