Here's the second chapter. This is all I have written so far, but I thought you'd guys like to read it. Just make sure you review. I like reviews. So review at the end please!

Anything recognizable does not belong to me.


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...


Two hours later Rand sat sitting at the table in the Briefing Room, amazed at what he had just learned about his parents, let alone traveling to other worlds was possible. He looked up at Janet and Daniel, anger appearing on his face.

"And you two knew all this time and didn't tell me? Some friends of my parents you are!" he snapped at them.

"We didn't want to tell you," Daniel began.

"And let me think that my parents died in some distant land on Earth? Gee, thanks," he snapped. He rose to his feet and stormed out of the room.

Daniel rubbed his head and sighed. "That didn't go well," he murmured.

"I shall go get him back," Teal'c said.

"No Teal'c. I'll get him," Daniel said, rising to his feet. He walked out of the room and, following his instincts, went down to the Gate Room. He saw Rand staring at the Stargate at the bottom of the ramp, a frown on his face.

"Rand," Daniel said. He walked to the edge of the ramp and folded his arms. The younger man turned and looked down at Daniel. "We were going to tell you, but in a different way. Janet and I wanted to tell only you. Just the three of us. Then if you still doubted us we would have brought you here."

"So why did you guys bring me here? Why did you bring Kira?" Rand asked.

"Sorilea told us to. That woman can make Janet look like a harmless kitten."

Rand smiled faintly. "Guess I overreacted a bit."

"You were entitled to. We hid the truth from you for most of your life. Though you should know you did live on another planet for six months," Daniel informed him.

Rand gave Daniel a half smile and looked back at the Stargate. "I've seen this before," he said, folding his arms. "In my dreams."

"Dreams?" Daniel asked.

Rand shook his head. "I don't remember a lot of them, but what I do remember is this in a desert and a battle and a man holding a sword made entirely from fire. The man looks a lot like me." He gave a small laugh. "In most of the dreams actually, I'm doing magic," he confessed with an embarrassed grin.

"You can channel," Daniel stated.

"Men can channel? I thought only women could."

"Men are able to channel, but many don't because they believe saidin, the male half of the One Power, to be tainted from the Dark One."

"You don't believe it?" Rand asked.

Daniel shook his head, a small grin on his face. "I don't," he confirmed.

"Why not?" Rand asked in confusion.

"Come with me," he ordered and led Rand to his office. Daniel locked the door after making sure no one was in his office. Rand looked around at all the old, dusty books and ancient artifacts that littered the shelves. Several books lay open on Daniel's desk and worktable while pages full of foreign symbols and writing rested on top of them. Daniel then pulled up two chairs and they sat down.

"Uncle D, what's all this about?" Rand asked, shifting a little.

"Just watch," Daniel said and turned off the lights. They sat in darkness for several minutes.

"Uncle D, what are you…" Rand began when a bright ball of light suddenly appeared in front of Daniel. Rand frowned, seeing a slight aura around the older man that was not from the glowing orb. "Y…you…you're channeling…" Rand stammered.

Daniel extinguished the orb and turned the lights back on. "I've been able to channel since I was Descended nearly nineteen and a half years ago. I think Oma Desala gave me the ability or at least the knowledge in how to channel. I never knew why, but now I think I do."

"So what purpose did she have in giving you that knowledge?" Rand demanded.

Daniel looked at the young man. "There's a prophecy that I believe concerns you. I won't say more until you go to Rhuidean with Sorilea."

"I'm not going anywhere," Rand said. "Earth is my home."

"Rand, please. Just…just go to Rhuidean. If we're wrong about what will happen there, then you can come back here."

"And if you're not? Wrong I mean," Rand asked, more nervous than he had been under the Wise One's gaze.

"All's I'll say is death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain."


Hope you guys liked it. And Danny can channel! Where that came from in my mind, I don't want to know...
