The final chapter! How exciting and sad! But worry not, faithful readers, I will be doing a sequel. I'll be getting it up once I've actually started to work on it, but I need to take a break from this kind of storyline for a bit so I don't burn myself out on it (that and I want to focus a bit more on my other story).

Thanks to everyone who stuck with this story from its beginning. I never expected to get over a hundred reviews. So that makes me really happy! And it inspired me to do the sequel because I was just going to leave you guys hanging with the ending...actually no I wouldn't've. That's too cruel, even for me. Moving on...

What you recognize isn't mine.

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

What was, what will be, and what is, may still yet fall under the Shadow...

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

Sam sat hunched over at the table in her room, several books sprawled open. She finished writing a sentence and straightened, her back cracking. A knock sounded on her door. "It's open!" she called.

Moiraine walked into the room. "Still haven't completed the translations yet?"

Sam shook her head. "Not yet." She leaned back in her chair and looked at her friend. "So what brings you here?"

"Just wanted to see how you were doing…and to visit Rand," she added.

Sam smiled. "Jack wanted to take him out to see Sulin. I can't believe how big he's gotten in seven months."

Moiraine smiled. "He's a beautiful boy." The bell of the clock tower rung, indicating that it was mealtime. "Shall we go have some lunch?"

Sam nodded. "I'll meet you down there. I'd like to clear some of this up."

Moiraine nodded and left the room. Sam closed several of the books when her eyes suddenly went wide and a look of horror rose on her face. She quickly opened a Gateway and dashed through to the Three-Fold Land. She hurried up the hill and halted, tears streaming down her face when she saw Rhuidean burning and partly destroyed.

"Jack!" she screamed, hoping against hope that he was alive. She ran into the city and searched desperately through the streets. "Jack where are you?" she cried. A glint of gold caught her eye from the square and she slowly made her way over to it. Tears began to flow freely down her face as she saw Jack lying under a large slab of stone, his eyes staring up at her lifelessly.

Sam fell to her knees and closed Jack's eyes, sobbing uncontrollably. "No…" she whispered through her tears. "NO!" she suddenly shrieked at the sky. She looked around and saw something that made her blood run cold. Several feet away was a large man in silver armor, a tattoo on his forehead. Sam recognized that the tattoo belonged to Anubis. She rose to her feet, her eyes cold and hard.

"He'll pay," she snarled. She made a Gateway to a desolate, barren land and stepped through. A river of lava flowed nearby. The wind picked up and sent tiny pieces of magma to Sam, but she ignored it. She walked into a cave, destroying whatever got in her way until she came to a large chamber. A figure dressed all in black was sitting on a stone throne, his face hidden.

"How did you get here?" he demanded in a sonorous voice.

"You're going to pay for what you did Anubis," Sam growled, her voice almost inhuman from rage and hate.

"Ah. You must be the great Samantha Carter, former member of SG-1,Aes Sedai and descendent of the Dragon Reborn. A pleasure to finally meet you," Anubis said, rising to his feet. "But tell me, what brings someone of your status to Shayol Ghul?"

"You killed the two people that meant the world to me. This ends now," she growled. She fully opened herself to her rage and to saidar and threw weave after weave at him. He was able to block the first few, but soon fell under the onslaught. He collapsed to the floor and a disfigured pale face was looking up at her.

"Now…you have…become that…which you were meant…to stop…" he said in triumph. His head lolled to the side and he vanished.

Sam closed her eyes and began to laugh maniacally. "This power is incredible. I can change the galaxy with it to the way it ought to be."

"I won't let you leave Shayol Ghul Sam," a voice said. She turned and saw Daniel standing there, a sad look on his face.

"What do you mean? You can't interfere. I can leave here if I want," she said.

"I don't care if I'm Descended for this or not. I can't let you leave here. You're too dangerous," he said.

"Dangerous?" Sam repeated incredulously. "I just killed Anubis; the Dark One. How am I dangerous?"

"You killed him in a blind rage Sam. He made sure that you did."

"You're saying he had this planned?" she snorted.

"The Pattern had it planned. You were woven into it." Daniel's hands glowed white briefly. "You won't be able to leave now for a long time. Hopefully by then someone will have risen to stop you."

"I was going to make this galaxy a better place!" she snarled.

"Through death and torture?" he asked. He shook his head sadly. "That makes you no better than the Goa'uld Sam. Jack would not approve." He vanished, leaving Sam alone in the cavern.

"You know shit about what Jack would approve of!" she screamed at the ceiling.

"My Lady," a deep voice said. Sam turned and saw a Myrddraal kneeling before her. "What is your bidding?"

Sam slowly smiled. I may not be able to leave, but my new army of Trollocs and Shadowspawn can, she thought.

"Definitely Anubis' work," Cameron said, kicking the carcass of a Jaffa. "Major, are you all right?" he asked Hailey as she approached them.

"I…found Colonel O'Neill…he um…he was crushed," she reported, tears stealing their way down her face as she tried to hold them back.

"I have found someone of interest," Teal'c said. Cameron, Hailey, Jonas, and Janet turned as the large Jaffa approached them. A familiar face emerged from behind him. Janet smiled in disbelief.

"Doctor Jackson!" Jonas exclaimed.

"Hey," Daniel said. "Um…how'd I get here?"

"He appears to only have knowledge of what happened to him up to the time of his Ascension," Teal'c stated.

"Doctor Fraiser! I've got a critically injured woman over here!" a medic yelled.

Janet ran towards him and knelt down. "Sulin, what happened?" she asked the Aiel as she began to examine her.

"Darkfriends…came from the sky…attacked without warning. We did all we could to stop them…" Sulin wheezed. Against the protests from Janet and the medic Sulin rolled over, revealing a bundle that she had been shielding. "I did what I could…to protect the child…"

Janet removed part of the cloth and gasped. "It's Rand!" she exclaimed softly. She looked at Sulin, but the Maiden's eyes had misted over. The medic reached out and closed them. Janet did a quick once over of Rand and saw that he was fine.

"Doctor Fraiser," a voice said. The group turned and saw several disheveled Wise Ones, some with cuts and bruises, limping towards them.

"Sorilea," Janet greeted.

"Where is Sam?" Aviendha asked.

"She wasn't here?" Cameron asked.

"She was at the Tower trying to translate the text. She should have come immediately after feeling her Warder bond with her husband break," Sorilea said.

"We should get to the Tower now," Jonas said. "Something is not right."

Aviendha opened a Gateway into Sam's room. "I shall go with you." SG-1 stepped through followed by the Wise One. Janet and Daniel stayed behind.

"Looks like she just upped and left," Hailey said.

The door opened and Moiraine rushed into the room. She halted when she saw them. "I thought Sam had returned."

"You mean she isn't here either?" Cameron asked.

Moiraine shook her head. "We were to have lunch together earlier today, but she never showed up. I've been trying to find her all over Tar Valon but to no avail."

"Moiraine…Jack was killed earlier today," Cameron slowly said. "There was an attack on Rhuidean. Sulin gave her life protecting Rand as well."

"May the Light guide their souls," Moiraine murmured.

"Oh my god…" Jonas murmured, staring at the notes Sam had made.

"What is it Jonas Quinn?" Teal'c asked.

"The text on that pillar was a prophecy," he said, sliding into the chair.

"A prophecy?" Moiraine repeated.

"Or something very similar." He paged through it and looked at them. "I'm not sure what it all means, but here's what it says:

Ancient evil will rise and corrupt the descendent and ancestor of the Dragon.

The Heir of the Dragon will bring light to where it is dark, and will heal the land.

The Heir of the Dragon will rise up against the Dark One and purify.

The final battle will be fought when all hope seems lost.

He looked up at them. "Maybe Sam went to go to fight the Dark One," he suggested, shrugging his shoulder.

"Maybe," Cameron said uncertainly.

Aviendha lowered her head before shifting her gaze out the window. May the Light and the ancestors of the car'a'carn watch over Rand, the Heir of the Dragon…

The End?

Dun dun duuuuunnnnn! So? What'd'ya think? The sequel will be up after I get a few pages done...well...I still need to start on it actually. But after I have a few chapters up I will begin to post it. But until then, review and go check out my other story, Bushido where Sam is unable to deal with the things she was forced to do in the line of duty and runs away.
