Woot! Another llllooooonnnnnggggg chapter! Hurray! This is only part of it. I'll try to get the other part posted tomorrow, but no promises.

Just a warning to everyone: I went out last night with a bunch of my friends and went to the 1030pm showing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which was extremely cool and is the best movie of them all and is in no way a little kid's movie. So go see it! But I didn't get back to my dorm until 215ish and I couldn't fall asleep until about 230-3am-ish. So yeah...but it was worth it. I was also listening to Spamalot so the combination of the two inspired me to write this...go figure...and don't blame me for it. My muse demanded it.

I own nothing in this story. If I did I'd be more than rich; I'd be flippin' rich...but I don't own them...so I'm flippin' poor...

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass...

What will be, and what is, may still yet fall to Shadow...

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

Sam sat on the roof of the building she was staying in, her mind still in shock at what she had just learned earlier that day. She stared down at the picture in her hands, trying to figure out how her mother could have come from another planet.

She sighed and put the picture away. She looked up at the night sky, staring at the stars. She drew her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. She closed her eyes, breathing in the cool night air.

"So this is where you ended up," a familiar voice said from next to her.

Sam's eyes shot open and she whipped her head up. Her eyes widened in shock and she slowly rose to her feet. "D…Daniel?" she said slowly.

The archaeologist smiled. "Thought you wouldn't recognize me at first," he said. "How've you been?"

"How…where…what…I'm fine…" Sam sputtered. "How did you get here?"

"One of the benefits of being Ascended," he said.

She frowned. "Ascended?"

"Like your friend Orlin," Daniel said.

"How did you…" she began.

"Ascended?" he finished, arching a brow. "A few months ago I was exposed to some pretty lethal levels of radiation. Oma came and here I am."

"I'm sorry," Sam said.

"Sorry for what?" Daniel asked.

"Not being there," she said. "If I had been there…"

"Nothing would've changed," Daniel said. "I probably still would've ended up like this. But it's okay," he added. "I got to know that you're still alive."

Sam smiled. "I've missed you guys."

"Feeling's mutual I can assure you. Hailey filled in your position when the search got called off. You'd be proud of her," Daniel said.

Sam smiled. "She's a good kid. How's everyone else?"

"They're good. But that's not why I'm here," Daniel said.

"You're not?" she asked.

He shook his head. "I actually came to tell you something that might be hard for you to accept."

"My mother was an alien?" she asked.

"You know?" he asked, somewhat surprised.

"Found out a few hours ago," she replied. "Can you at least tell me how? The only way I can think of how she got to Earth was she stole a ship and crashed there."

"You're partially right," Daniel said. "And I am allowed to tell you," he added. "Strictly speaking we're not suppose to interfere but Oma said as long as I don't change anything I can be here."

"But won't telling me about my mother change things?" she asked.

He shook his head. "This is a dream Sam…well…sort of."

"I'm not in Tel'aran'rhiod am I?"

"Where?" he asked.

"The World of Dreams," she translated. "It's like a place between the physical world and dreams."

"No. I think this would be more classified as a vision," Daniel said.

Sam nodded. "So Yoda, how did my mother get to Earth?"

Daniel made a face when she called him Yoda but otherwise ignored it. "Well, she was taken through the Stargate years ago by Ra and his Jaffa…"

Jessai dropped the book she was writing in and dashed towards the Stargate, veiling herself and pulling out a spear. She ducked a swipe from one of the Jaffa and plunged her spear through the metal armor. She kicked him away and spun to face another enemy. Another Jaffa raised his staff weapon and fired. Jessai winced as it ripped through her right shoulder, dropping her to the ground.

Before she could get to her feet several Jaffa latched onto her and hauled her to her feet. Ra walked over and tore off her veil. He grinned and nodded. He walked over to the Stargate and pressed several glyphs. The Jaffa holding Jessai dragged her over to the now activated Stargate and went through.

Before Jessai could gain her bearings, the Jaffa holding her and two other captured Maidens were led to a circle in the ground. A white light engulfed them and a set of rings shot up from the ground. The next thing Jessai knew she was now in a corridor, torches lining the walls. The three Maidens were shoved forward and they walked down the corridor.

Jessai glanced at the two other Maidens. Using their hand talk, they tried to formulate an attack plan but were soon shoved into a cell and locked inside. Jessai held the bars and listened carefully for any noise. Hearing none, she turned back to her companions, slightly dizzy from the staff wound.

"Sit down," the youngest Maiden ordered Jessai. She did so and the Maiden looked closely at the wound.

"Where are we?" the other Maiden asked.

"We're amongst the Dark One's forces," Jessai replied. She winced slightly as the Maiden poked the wound. She straightened and tore off a strip of cloth. She expertly wrapped it around the wound on Jessai's shoulder as best she could.

"Better Jessai?"

Jessai nodded. "Thank you Saku," she said.

Saku glanced around the cell. "So how do we get out of here?"

"Leave that to me," a new voice said. The three women turned to the cell door. A beautiful woman stood there. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a quiet air of power around her. She wore dark blue robes, a silver bracelet on her left hand.

"Who are you?" the other Maiden demanded.

"A friend," the woman said. "Be ready to run when you hear the commotion," she instructed, glancing up and down the hallway.

"How can we trust you if you do not give us your name?" Jessai asked.

"You must have faith," she replied. She slipped something into the cell and looked at them. "If someone comes and asks you where the sun sets, tell them it sets on freedom. That person is a friend of mine and is trustworthy. We are trying to get you back to your world. I must go."

"You cannot simply save us and leave us without us repaying our toh," Saku said.

The woman turned back to her. "You have no toh to me or the Tok'ra. Yes, I know what toh is," she said at their looks. "Sixty years ago I was taken from the Waste."

Jessai's eyes went wide. "Y…You are Rosha…"

Rosha nodded. "Be ready sisters." With that, she left.

The other Maiden picked up the item that Rosha had slipped in and pulled off the cloth. "They are daggers," she said.

Jessai and Saku took one. "Kei, when the time comes cover our backs. Saku, you'll be in the middle checking other passageways. I'll take point," Jessai said.

"What do we do till then?" Saku asked, testing the blade's sharpness.

"We wait," Kei answered. "Jessai, is your shoulder all right?"

"It's well enough to dance with," she returned.

The three women waited for several hours, calmly waiting. After four hours, shots and shouts were heard from the corridors and Jessai and Kei stood on either side of the cell door. A moment later a woman ran to the cell door, looking at Saku.

"Where does the sun set?" she asked.

"On freedom," Saku replied. The door slid open.

"Quickly. We have little time," she said. The three Maidens slipped out of the cell. "Come. There is a ship ready to take you back to your world," the woman said.

"Lead on," Jessai said. "But lead us wrong and it will be the last thing you do."

The woman smiled. "Rosha said you might say that. Come!" She ran through the halls, the Aiel on her heels. Every corridor they passed had Jaffa lying on the floor.

"What happened to them?" Jessai demanded.

"They've been knocked out," the woman said. "The Tok'ra developed a type of gas that will target the specific protein of the Goa'uld and Jaffa."

"Forget I asked," Jessai muttered.

"Tok'ra kree!" a voice snarled. The fugitives skidded to a halt as they were surrounded by five Jaffa.

"Blood and ashes," Jessai muttered, pulling her veil up, the other two following her example.

"You will die for your betrayal of your god Ra," the Jaffa snarled.

"I die free," the woman said.

Jessai flashed a few hand signals and the three Maidens leapt onto the Jaffa. Jessai plunged her dagger into the Jaffa's neck and wrenched it sideways, cutting his throat. She pulled the blade free and leapt at another. The other Jaffa fired off a shot from his staff and struck the woman in the back as she was grappling with the other Jaffa.

After a few short minutes the fight was over. Jessai slowly and sorely regained her feet, her right shoulder throbbing. "Kei, Saku, you two okay?" she asked, looking at the dead Jaffa.

"Kei's…dead…" Saku gasped.

Jessai turned and knelt down next to her. "Are you all right?"

Saku weakly shook her head. "The…Shadowspawn had…his own…blade…"

Jessai bowed her head. "I am sorry…"

"Just…get out of here…" Saku said.

Jessai closed Saku's eyes and took her dagger as well as Kei's. She then walked over to the Tok'ra. The woman looked weakly up at Jessai. "It is too late for my host," a sonorous voice said, surprising Jessai.

"What?" she asked in confusion.

"I have little time to explain. I am a symbiote inside of this body. If Jessica dies, so will I," the symbiote said.

"How am I to save you though?" Jessai asked.

"You are willing to be my new host?"

"For the time being," Jessai said. "I've no idea on where I am or what to do. To live and escape from here I need your help. Now what must I do?"

"Place…your mouth over mine," she ordered.

Jessai did so, not wanting to waste anymore time. Before she could blink something slid into her mouth and pierced the back of her throat. She began gagging on some of the blood and spat it to the side. She felt her head look down at Jessica.

"Goodbye my friend," she heard herself saying. She then felt herself rising to her feet and running quickly down the hall.

"What's going on?" Jessai thought.

"Forgive me, but the easiest way for us to escape is for me to be in control of your body for the time being. Once we are safe on the ship I will give control back to you," a voice said in her head.

"Who are you?" Jessai asked.

"My name is Raven," the voice said as she continued controlling Jessai's body. They walked into a small pyramid shaped ship and Raven hit several buttons before the ship shot out of the hanger and into space. The ship immediately began to shake as it was pounded with enemy fire.

She hit several more buttons and the ship shot into hyperspace. "We are safe," Raven said, relinquishing control.

Jessai blinked and looked around the ship. "This is…"

"Weird?" Raven supplied.

Jessai nodded. "Where are we going?"

"To the Tok'ra base. They'll begin searching for a new host for me immediately, though it might take a while. You see, the Tok'ra might be physically similar to the Goa'uld, but the Tok'ra refuse to take unwilling hosts. If we do, we try to immediately leave them as soon as we can. We have been fighting the Goa'uld for centuries, but it has not been easy with our dwindling numbers."

"But you have not given up. You still dance the spears with these…Goa'uld. You would make a good Aiel," Jessai said.

Raven seemed to chuckle in Jessai's head. "We will dance with the Goa'uld until they are all dead."

Jessai nodded and rolled out her shoulders. She suddenly frowned and looked down at her right shoulder. "What happened to my wound?"

"I healed it," Raven informed her. "One of the benefits of having a symbiote."

"Thank you," Jessai said. She got out of the seat and sat on the floor against a wall. She closed her eyes and dozed off to sleep.

She was jolted from her slumber two hours later when alarms began blaring on the ship. "What's going on?" she demanded.

"Give me control!" Raven ordered and Jessai did so. Raven ran to the controls and looked at them. "The guidance system was damaged before we jumped into hyperspace. We're too far off course," she said.

"What does that mean?" Jessai demanded.

"We're lost in space with no way back," Raven said. She looked at the screen and studied it carefully. "We're running out of power and there's only one planet close enough for us to land on."

"What planet?"

"Earth."
