"RISE MY FAITHFUL SERVANTS AND BE REWARDED FOR YOUR LONG WAIT."

The remaining Priors felt their hunger and thirst go away. The felt their bodies being strengthened and their eyes beheld which they had long awaited.

"HALLO ARE THE ORICI. HALLO ARE THE ORICI." They chanted in unison.

"We have a new mission to bring those to see Origin into their lives. We must gather a force to spread across the sky's that we have returned. But our first mission will be to punish those who have transgressed us. We must destroy all those who oppose us, once more. We must strike while our enemies bask in our slight defeat.

"YES ORICI, WHAT IS YOUR BIDDING." Asked them all.

"REVENGE."

Daniel was suddenly startled awake by a feeling of dread. His sleep cycles were almost nil to none. He couldn't really afford to sleep, but knew his body needed the rest. He would be no good to his daughter or wife if he wasn't fully alert once he found them. With Aneteo and the Alliance following up on their Intel where Ba'al's ship may be, he needed to be as alert as possible.

He couldn't shake the feeling that something was approaching out there. He felt that there was an unending evil presence that he could not explain feeling. He knew Adria was dead, the Ori wiped out, so that couldn't be it. Then he felt something else; something calling to him to find Vala and Eshera. He already felt the need to find them as soon as possible and destroy Ba'al at all cost. He would never allow that snake to live another moment and allow his family and friends to be in danger ever again.

Suddenly Daniel felt something reach into his mind. He looked around to see if anyone was in the room. It felt as if there whisper of voices in the air, surrounding him.

Daddy…………….daddy, we need you.

"Eshera?"

I know you're looking for us. We need you. Momma's ok. We……..

Then Eshera's voice stopped.

"Eshera?................Eshera?"

Daniel didn't realize he was shouting out loud. He knew he could afford to let Aneteo or his guards know about his daughter. There was a signal in his room that someone was entering.

"We're you speaking to someone Dr. Jackson? Aneteo asked curiously.

Daniel needed to play dumb. "Your only interest Aneteo is to find Ba'al and my wife. Nothing else concerns me but that. Am I clear?"

Aneteo immediately closed the space between Daniel and himself, almost nose to nose. "Let me make myself; clear Dr. Jackson. I don't take orders from you, and don't think I'm afraid to die. You and I have an understanding concerning your wife, and I intend to carry out my end of this bargain. But if for one minute I perceive that you think you're deceiving me, I will blow this ship and you to pieces. Then your wife will then be ravished forever by Ba'al at his leisure."

"Then we both understand each other perfectly." Daniel answered with a tinge of controlled anger. Daniel was happy he changed the subject away from speaking out loud about his daughter.

Aneteo turned away from Daniel to walk towards the door. Without turning around he decided to at least make sure Daniel stayed on his toes.

"Also once we find Ba'al, he's mine." Aneteo walked out without any response from Daniel.

Daniel was happy he evaded any more curiosity from Aneteo. He knew once he found Vala and his daughter, Aneteo would have no choice but to kill him. Daniel planned on beating Aneteo at his own game.

In an outer galaxy standing on a mountain looking outwards toward the horizon at her Ori ships being constructed. Adria's form is aflame in red, with her eyes closed. She senses something, a presense never felt before. It's disturbing that someone out there may have equal power to hers. She sees a girl, a mirror image of herself and it confuses her. The image is strong and confident, but the image shows herself, standing next to Vala. She opens her eyes and the connection is broken.

"What does this mean?" Her words are lost in the wind.

TBC

A/N: I know this is short, but I needed a little sleep to continue. Things are about to heat up. I know, I know, it's about time. Adria is back. As always, reviews and comments are welcomed.
