Chapter Two: Earth to Bifrost.

Location: Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Jack put his cap on and waited at the base of the ramp. He glanced at his watch and paced the room. "Where is he?"

The other members of SG1 watched their CO pace across the room. Then a voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Good luck and Godspeed SG1" Hammond said.

"Thank you, sir!" Jack yelled out to his boss, before walking up and through the Stargate.

Location: Bifrost, Milky Way Galaxy.

SG1 exited the Stargate to see a lush, green planet. Many buildings were situated not that far from the Stargate, and Jack used his binoculars to search the area.

A sudden high-pitched sound was heard, a buzzing. Jack recognized it instantly. "Thor's Hammer," he said.

The sound was in fact coming from a large pillar with a strange looking horn carved into it. Daniel looked at it.

"Gjallarhorn" Daniel said.

A pinkish colored light flashed over them, scanning every member of the group. They stood there for a few moments.

"Well that was familiar," Jack stated, "Alright, it looks clear. SG1 and SG3, move out."

The SG3 Marines had accompanied SG1 in searching for the Asgard. Colonel Reynolds walked up close to Jack.

"Expecting any trouble?" Reynolds asked.

"Well, the Asgard didn't say that there was anything to worry about. Just a bunch of Heimdall's people," Jack answered.

"Look," Daniel called to Jack, watching as a person on a horse rode up to the group. The person looked about the size of a young adult, around 19. Covered in a dark brown hood and cloak, riding a brown mare, the person rode up and stopped in front of the weary SGC personnel. Throwing back their hood, the SG Units were a little relieved to see a young woman. With brown hair and crystal blue eyes, she portrayed a great intelligence.

"Welcome to Bifrost," she said.

"Daniel," Jack turned to the archeologist, "your turn"

Daniel stepped up to the front of the group, "Uh…hi. I'm Daniel Jackson and this is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Colonel Reynolds. We're peaceful explorers from Earth, uh...Midgard." Daniel said, pointing to each person individually.

The woman nodded. "I was forewarned by Heimdall that you would come. Please, this was. We can talk at my home."

"Watch the gate," Jack told Reynolds, "We'll call if anything is wrong."

SG1 followed the woman on a path towards the village. While walking, Jack noticed that she had a strange-looking horn slung around her. It looked oddly familiar. Then he remembered the pillar with the strange carving in it. He moved next to Teal'c.

"Do you notice that funny looking horn thing?" Jack asked.

"Yes. It appears similar to the carving on the pillar near the Stargate." The Jaffa answered, nodding solemnly.

Daniel moved closer to them. "Its looks like the pictures of Heimdall's horn, the Gjallarhorn. According to Norse mythology, he would blow the horn whenever danger approached Asgard, the lair of the gods."

Jack wondered why the woman had a horn with her if it was meant to be Heimdall's. Jack mentally shrugged. Oh well, he thought, if Heimdall lost it we can't do anything. He didn't ask us to get it back.

Before long, the group arrived at a village. There were about twenty houses, what appeared to be a market place and a large building, with a smaller building beside it. Daniel looked at the large building, which had the same carving on it that the pillar near the Stargate did. "The Temple of Heimdall" he said.

"Yes," the woman replied, smiling, "It is indeed the Temple of Heimdall. Do you recognize the smaller temple?"

Daniel looked at the temple. "The Valknut! The symbol of Odin!"

Jack looked at Sam, who was just as confused as he was but didn't show it. Daniel ignored the confused look that Jack gave him.

"Is that the Temple of Odin?" he asked the woman. She just smiled, dismounted her horse and led them into a small house. She entered a room with a table and indicated that they all should sit down. She reached into a small box and withdrew five drinking horns and poured water into them. She seated herself at the seat, to the right of the small table, with Daniel beside her and Teal'c beside him, and Jack opposite her and Sam beside Jack.

She smiled at the archeologist beside her. "I imagine you have many questions. Do you have one in particular?"

Daniel nodded. "Who are you is my main one."

"I am Rachael of Bifrost, Head Priestess at the Temple of Heimdall, and Caretaker of the Temple of Odin. Heimdall told me to expect the visitors from Midgard, that there would be Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson and Teal'c. I knew who you were immediately and brought you here so the people of my village would not treat you as gods and then I could not talk with you." The young woman took a breath and a sip of her drink. Daniel took this as a chance to speak.

"Surely as a High Priestess you would be able to talk to us 'gods', if we were treated as such." Daniel said.

Rachael shook her head. "The title is just that, a title. I have no real power within the Temple of Heimdall, the only people I control are the other Priestesses, who rarely listen to me."

Sam jumped in, "Why would they not listen to you if you are the High Priestess?"

"They believe I only got my power because my father is the High Priest of Heimdall. They do not understand that the position is not a birthright, but must be earned and that the gods choose the High Priest and Priestess due to their accomplishments and how they treat their fellow Humans. When Heimdall selected my father to be a High Priest, he did not realize that the power would go to his head. All the Priestesses are females whose father or brother is in the high society. Many of the fathers or brothers pay my father to keep the females as Priestesses. I am the only one who earned the title, and was given it by Heimdall." Rachael sighed.

"My father wished to keep me as a simple cleaner, but Heimdall caused three months worth of famine, with the world having just enough food to keep everyone alive. At the end of the third month of famine, I was taken aboard Heimdall's chariot and given a message by him to tell to my people. Heimdall returned me into the Ring of Prayer and, when I said my message, all believed it as I had suddenly appeared. While not many where happy, they did not dare question the ruling of the gods, especially when Thor sent his thunder and burnt a tree. Then they all instantly agreed to my being High Priestess."

Jack looked at Rachael, "Heimdall beamed you to his ship?" Rachael nodded, "So you know that the Asgard aren't really gods."

Rachael smiled. She beckoned towards the SG team. "Please follow me."

She led them outside and into the small Temple of Odin. The Temple was small on the outside, but quite roomy inside. The walls were covered in pictures of battlefields, trees, men, woman, wolves, ravens, spears, swords, all things that had a distinct connection with Odin. Rachael walked up to a large pedestal type thing, similar to the ones found on the worlds protected bye Thor and Freyr. She touched a red stone in the center of the pedestal and they were instantly zapped into a room.

"This is where I come when I need peace. Also, I come here to talk with and care for Odin." Rachael turned around and faced SG1. "May I introduce to you to newest Asgard and one of the most powerful gods to ever walk Midgard: Odin, leader of the Ancient Norse gods."

SG1 watched as the wall in front of them split open, light shining through the crack. The sides moved apart, white light streaming out, making SG1 cover their eyes. When the could see again, they saw an Asgard style chair in front, and on it sat…

Duhn Duhn Dahhhh. Cliffhanger. Hehe. Who or what is on the chair?

Thanks to all my reviewers:

Sci Fi Fan Gillian: Thank you.

Kahless21: Thanks so much and I agree with you totally.

Aesir-James: Thank you.

AresStar: Thanks. I prefer shorter chapters because it means I can update sooner but if everyone wants longer chapters I shall see what I can do.

A/N: Anyone from the SGC Network, if you're wondering. Rachel is NOT based on me. Although Odin is based on my little Asgard friend. Hehe. :P
