AN: Hi all, here is the next chapter. Let me know what you think.

Jack sits quietly in the darkness while Daniel and Teal'c are sleeping. He looks at his watch in the faint moonlight. Another forty minutes then he can wake Teal'c to take the next watch. He stifles a yawn then shakes his head to wake himself up a bit. Then he hears a sound in the darkness. He freezes and listens. There again the sound, like someone is walking quietly through the darkness somewhere near him. He readies his weapon and stands up. He moves carefully around the sleeping bodies of Daniel and Teal'c until he is between them then he crouches down and touches Teal'c on the arm. Teal'c sits up but before he can say anything Jack holds his hand up and touches his ear. Teal'c listens and hears the sounds of something moving near them. Jack moves his hand to Daniel as Teal'c grabs his weapon and begins scanning the area. Daniel wakes with a start.

"Jack wha…"

"Shhh…"

Daniel sits up and pulls his handgun from his thigh as Jack stands and looks to Teal'c. Teal'c turns and shakes his head slightly as he starts moving back closer to Daniel and Jack. Suddenly Teal'c stops moving and lowers his weapon. Jack watches him, confused. After a moment Jack steps closer to him.

"Teal'c?" Jack whispers

"You will lay your weapons down," Teal'c says out loud.

Daniel moves to stand beside Jack, "Okay, why?"

"Because you are in no danger," a voice comes from behind them. Jack turns and levels his weapon in the face of the robed figure standing behind him.

"Yeah, I'm not buying that for one minute. You wanna try again?"

The figure nods slowly then steps back. A moment later Jack hears Daniel grunt and collapse beside him and before he has time to react a heavy weight comes down on the side of his head. As he falls to the ground he sees the figure remove the hood and he vaguely recognizes the face of the woman before everything goes black.

Sam paces around the cavern looking for a way out to no avail. There is no opening in the wall that could be an exit. She takes a breath to calm herself.

"Be at Mah'la. You're companions will be here soon," Saxa says causing Sam to jump at her sudden appearance.

"Where did you come from?" Sam asks.

Saxa smiles, "I have many gifts that my sisters do not."

She suddenly disappears before Sam's eyes, then reappears again just as suddenly.

"You have a cloaking device?" Sam asks.

"No device is needed. I can vanish at will as well as move thru objects," she replies.

"Move thru?"

Saxa turns to the solid wall and reaches out to touch it, but as her hand reaches it Sam watches it disappear into the wall as if being swallowed. Then she pulls back and faces Sam again.

"That is amazing. And you said that your sister can't do that?" Sam says stepping toward Saxa, the scientist in her mind taking over and craving an explanation.

"I am the only that can do this."

"And your sisters, they can do things you can't?"

"Yes; we each have our own gifts."

"So you have both intangibility and invisibility and I know that Iset must be a telepath like Ash'ka was. What about Morrigan?"

"She has the power of persuasion, as our mother did."

"Doesn't Iset have this also?"

"She does not."

"What other abilities do you have?" Sam asks.

"All daughters of Ash'ka are connected. We can communicate over great distances. I believe if given enough time you too could develop this gift."

Sam looks at her sceptically, "What exactly does that mean?"

Saxa opens her mouth to answer but closes it again for a moment.

"I must go," she says suddenly.

"Go where?" Sam asks.

"I shall return with your companions shortly."

Saxa smiles slightly then turns and disappears into the wall leaving Sam alone in the cavern again.

Jack groans as he regains consciousness. He rolls onto his side and opens his eyes; Daniel is lying beside him and Teal'c and Sam are sitting on the floor against the far wall. He sits up slowly and looks around the room.

"Colonel, I'm glad you're awake," Sam says.

"Where the hell are we?" he asks grumpily.

"In a cave Sir."

"I can see that Carter. Where is the exit so we can get out of here?"

Sam looks at Teal'c before answering, "As far as I can tell Sir, the only way we can get out of here is with the help of one of them."

Jack lets out a breath, "Okay, and who exactly is 'them'?"

"Ash'ka's daughters Sir."

He sits up straighter, "As in Anocha?"

"Yes, Sir."

"I thought they were gone?"

Before Sam can answer Daniel groans, "Can someone tell me why, when taking us prisoner, everyone likes hitting us in the head?"

Sam smiles, "It's probably in the bad-guy handbook."

"Carter," Jack calls to get her attention. "I thought the threat of the Anocha roaming around ended with Ash'ka."

Daniel looks at Sam, "Anocha? Does that mean…?"

Sam takes a breath and answers Daniels unfinished question, "Yes, Ash'ka's daughters, your daughters, decided not to leave after Ash'ka's death. They have stayed hidden the last year but the Goa'uld found them and, if they are telling the truth, an entire planet was destroyed in an attempt to wipe them out."

"They told you that?" Jack asks, standing up.

"Yes, as well as what we can expect from them as far as their abilities."

"Did they mention Bra'tac or the missing Jaffa?" Daniel asks.

"No, but Saxa told me that Morrigan has the power of persuasion so it's possible that they believe they are here willingly. She may have even convinced Bra'tac to contact us and get us to come here," Sam speculates.

"I believe this could explain Bra'tac being insistent on SG1 joining him here," Teal'c says.

"And why he wasn't waiting for us when we got here," Daniel says.

"My queen Iset has asked that you come with me to see her now," Saxa says as she appears in the room.

Everyone turns to face her as Sam steps toward her.

Jack is taken aback as he looks at her. She stands in a dark robe that covers her in dark folds down to the floor but her facial features tell him that she must be Daniels daughter. He curses as he realises that one of their captors is his daughter though he still has no memories from the time that Ash'ka used him. Saxa's voice pulls him out of his thoughts.

"If you lift your hands and touch your palms to each other then walk with me," she says. As they do as she asked she moves forward, leading them almost like children holding hands, and takes them through the solid wall. A moment later they are standing a hallway and Saxa turns to them.

"Now if you will follow me," she says with a smile.

Jack moves to Sam's side, "Which one is this?"

"This is Saxa. Morrigan is darker like Teal'c and Iset looks like you Sir."

Jack nods, "What's your read on them?"

"I don't think they mean us any harm. From what time I have been near them it almost seems like they took on more of you all rather than taking after Ash'ka; which in a way could be good for us."

"We can always hope Carter," Jack says as Saxa leads them in to a large room.

Daniel walks up to Saxa, "The architecture in this room is quite fascinating. Do you know anything about it's history?"

"I know that the cavern you have been staying in was once part of the hidden chambers of this place but after an attack it was sealed off from the rest of the rooms. The rest of the structure is fairly untouched. We chose this planet to hide on because all of its inhabitants have been gone a long time. When we first arrived we found this place and decided to make it ours."

"So how far from the Stargate are we?"

"Not far. Come and you can see it from here," she says as she walks toward a small balcony to the left of the great room.

Daniel follows her. Once he is outside he looks down into the meadow below them and sees the gate. He turns to Saxa.

"How could we be so close and not see this place when we first arrived?"

"I have hidden it, just as I did with the Stargate, my sister and myself when we were coming to get you."

"You can do that?" Daniel asks as he adjusts his glasses.

"Yes and much more. I am hopeful that your people will help us for I would like to know you better, father."

A lump forms in Daniels throat, he coughs slightly and then looks at the rest of SG1 before speaking.

"I would like to know more about your people but after what we went through with Ash'ka…" he pauses as he thinks about all that he had been told had happened to him and all of the SGC when they first met her.

"I hope in time you will see that we are not like her," Saxa says, her face fallen. She turns on her heel and re-joins the group.

"You will wait here for Iset," she says sharply before leaving the room.

Jack looks at Daniel as he walks back toward them.

"So what's outside?" Jack asks.

"Believe it or not the gate. It's pretty close. If we need to I think we could get to it in a few minutes. Not that it would do us much good without our gear."

"Once you have heard me you will be free to go at your will," Iset says, her voice echoing around the room as she enters.
