Chulak, the planet that the seven symbols lead to, was rather cold. It didn't help that the stargate only added to the cold factor due to the reconstitution of every molecule when they stepped on the other side, leaving them freezing and covered in a light layer of frost. Harry was thankful that he and Sha're were going in their armor, which had internal heaters. Isis and Hebe stayed back on Earth to help smooth things over with Aphrodite/Venus, while they got sent with SG1 and SG2 to the planet of the Jaffa. Harry had his helmet pull away as he looked at O'Neill, who had snow on his cheeks as his breath frosted.
"Damn, its cold," Kawalksy muttered, rubbing his arms, "we could have picked a better time of the year, couldn't we?"
Sha're let her helmet pull away as she looked around at the trees, "No, Chulak is much like the tundra forests of Earth, not much warmth in this harsh place. The Jaffa of Chulak are rather hardy people, able to withstand the cold and other environments due to their habitation."
Kawalsky sighed, "Great, so is there any warmth on this planet?"
Sha're smirked deviously, "If you want to sunbathe as the sun reaches its peak at ten thirty our time, be my guest."
Kawalsky grew quiet at that as Daniel Jackson asked, "Anybody have a Kleenex?"
Hermione was led into a different room, this one had a high arching ceiling with blazers in the four corners of the room. In the center was a table about seven feet long, in each of the three rooms that were connected to the center room held guards. All of them were human, no serpent guards from what Hermione saw. She was pointed to her place in front of the table-like alter as her kidnapper came down the stairs before her in a gold outfit. She forced down the urge to cringe at the outfit, as she used her magic to see what was going on. What she saw wasn't a pleasant sight, at all.
Inside each person in the room was another thing, most of them were in belly pouches while the man before her had a snake creature wrapped around the base of his spinal cord. Pulling her magic back, she looked at the face of her kidnapper. He looked her over before motioning two maidens over, probably due to her dealing with the men beforehand. The two quickly stripped her of her outfit and left her bare before the man playing as Apophis.
"Yes. Very nice indeed. But I am not the one you must finally please." Apophis said, walking around her.
"And who is that?" Hermione said, watching Apophis carefully.
Apophis grinned, "Such spirit, and power to boot as well. You must please my mate, Amuanet."
He stepped over to a side room and said "Yametha, re!"
A woman walked out of the room, in a very odd outfit before Hermione realized she was wearing a cloak-like top that would cover her belly easily. This woman must of been a priestess of some sort as she walked to the stairs and waited, as the maids tried to pull Hermione onto the table.
"Enough already!" She snapped at them, making the two step back in fear, "I can do it myself, I'm not paralizied."
Hermione climbed onto the table and laid on it, face up, as she looked at the Priestess, "Now what?"
The what happened, as Hermione felt her heart sink into her stomach as the priestess pulled the cloak away from her body to show her belly. She had a belly pouch was pushed open as one of the snake creatures looked out of it, peering at Hermione's body with a cursory look. Hermione froze, feeling something else join her heart in her gut. Apophis was watching from a distance, letting his mate make her own decision.
"Does she please you, my love?" The 'God' asked the snake, to which the thing nodded.
Apophis made a motion with his hand and Hermione was flipped over on the table, though it seemed that Hermione was in far too deep this time. The snake slithered onto her back, as the priestess moaned before it was over. Hermione gritted her teeth as the cool slimy thing moved up her back, paused, then bit into the base of her neck. Hermione didn't scream out, she would not show pain to this false deity. Apophis watched, intrigued by this turn of events before Hermione hissed.
"Y-you may have my body but you'll never have me entirely."
Hermione felt the snake wrap around her spinal cord, her mind feeling like something was trying to get into it with pure force. Hermione opened her mental shielding before slamming it back down again when the other mind tried to reorient itself in her mindscape. The witch smirked before attacking the other mind, taking everything she could from it but even then, it would take time before she would get full control over the other mind inside her head. This was only a small part of it, a small part of the mind that was Amuanet.
Harry looked over at O'Neill as he and Daniel talked over the DHD, before looking at the ridge. Sam had covered it in claymores, for defensive purposes of course. Jack had him going with SG1 while Sha're would be with SG2, meaning they would have some more protection due to having more experience with the Jaffa. Of course, as they were walking through the woods, they ran into a troupe of worshipers. Daniel, unknowingly, got them free passage to the banquet of the Choice. They would be led to the city of Chulak and enter the main banquet hall, where Jack, Sam and Daniel would be seated. Harry refused to be seated, stating that he did not sit unless his Queens were present.
The Jaffa quickly understood what he meant and let him be. Harry let his magical senses out, looking for Hermione before pulling them back as a dark skinned Jaffa with an emblem on his head walked in. He was followed by the other 'Ra', Apophis and a veiled woman before the man spoke.
"Kneel before your Queen." He lifted the veil to show Hermione's face.
Harry felt his heart sink, he was too late to save her. Anger boiled in his blood as his gauntleted hand creaked from being clenched so hard. Apophis and his guards noticed the sound, looking at Harry before the guards aimed their staffs at him. He waved his hand and the staffs turned into rubber tubes, before marching up to Apophis. Before he could do any harm to him, Hermione reacted, stepping in front of Apophis and used her hand device to send him back. Harry slammed into the wall but landed on his feet as he growled, then was blasted harder into the wall by both Apophis and Hermione. He passed out from hitting his head against the wall that it left a hole in the thick wall to the other side.
