10,000 years later on Planet Naharra

The council was meeting in chambers going over the results that their scientist had brought to them. Tests after test showed them that no matter what they tried to do scientifically the shield would fail and it would fail soon. They needed to find the descendants of Maihari and Niya. The only clues they had to finding them were the stories that had been passed down from generation to generations about the two sister who bravely gave their lives to save Naharra and that their children's children would hold the key to saving their futures.

Councilman Miccar stood up from his seat and looked outside the huge window that was behind where the counsel sat. He looked out to the beautiful countryside and remembered running through the grass as boy with his friends. He remembered the feeling he had that nothing was every going to come and take the peace he felt away. For thousands of years his people knew nothing but peace and prosperity because of the shield over the planet. His people were able to flourish and thrive because the wraith were unable to cull their world. They had not shared this secret with anyone that they had created such a weapon due to the fear that the wraith might find a way to counter act it.

"We have to contact the Lanteans. Per the legend they would be the only ones to help us. They would know who the descendants are and how to find them." Councilman Miccar said walking back to his seat at the meeting table.

"I don't think anyone here has a problem with contacting the Lanteans Miccar." Councilwoman Dinara said. "I believe the problem we have is that we don't know how to contact them. Much of what we have is out dated or was lost in the great fire. Have we heard from any of the scouts that we sent out?"

"We have heard from all but one." Councilman Tollara said. "He still has three days before he is scheduled to return."

"Who is it?" Dinara asked.

"It's Colar." Tollara said.

"He is so young? Was he truly ready for this type of mission?" Dinara asked.

"Yes. I have trained him myself. Although he is young, he wise beyond his years and is the best field operative I have trained in many years. I choose him because he would be traveling the farthest and longest. He knew the risk that the trip represented and volunteered to go. Set your mind at ease Dinara. Out of all the operatives we have sent out I believe Colar will be the one to find the Lanteans. Colar studied every piece of information we have on both sisters and the Lanteans. That is why I gave him the stones and the other artifacts." Tollara said and then waited for the reaction to what he just said.

"You did what?! HOW DARE YOU! How dare you make such decisions without talking to this council first. You had no right to do that Tollara. What if he can't find them or the wraith find him? Those stone and artifacts could be lost forever. You will explain yourself now!" Miccar shouted.

Tollara was expecting this. He knew that he was taking a chance sending the stones and the other artifacts with Colar but, he was given the vision that told him to send Colar for he would be the one to find the descendants needed to save his world.

"Well! We are waiting!" Dinara said.

"My friends. I knew that you would be upset with me once I told you what I have done. I will except any punishment you wish for me to receive but first hear me out. I never thought in my all my days that I would be one to experience.... a vision." Tollara said.

Tollara heard whispers around the room of disbelief and awe at what he just stated to them.

Miccar looked at his friend Tollar's eyes. Eyes that he had known since boyhood. He looked to see if his friend had lost his mind or if there was clarity in them. Miccar looked deep into his friends eyes and saw there was a peace in them that he hadn't seen in weeks since finding out that the shield was failing. He knew his friend was telling the truth but needed to hear it for himself.

Miccar stepped to his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder giving it a reassuring squeeze. He felt the tension that was now visable in Tollara's body disappear.

"Tollara, I think that you need to tell us what this vision of yours was if we are to come to understand your reasoning for sending Colar with the stones and the artifacts ." Miccar said with much of his earlier anger removed from his voice.

Tollara nodded his head and began to explain. "It's still all so unbelievable my friends, so please bare with me as I begin. The day we all found out the shield was starting to fade I became distraught and couldn't think. I needed a place to calm my thoughts. So I went to the temple and prayed to the ancestors for guidance and to show me what I needed to do to save my people. I sat and waited for hours hoping that they would drop the answer in my lap or whisper some words of hope but, nothing came. I then felt myself starting to get upset with the ancestors. Cursing them out loud and blaming them for not helping us in our time of needed. Then a bright light appeared and as I tried to block the light with my hand it became brighter. Soon I could see nothing around me. I begged for the light to shining as it became hotter and brighter. It had felt as if my skin was going to burn off. I wasn't sure if this was my punishment for cursing the ancestors. I began to beg for forgiveness and ask that the light be taken away. The light then started to grow dim and as it became dimmer I saw that I was no longer in the temple. I was now in a grand city. I knew it was the Lantean city. It was filled with people who looked like they were travelers. I turned around and saw they had a gate just like ours and there were travelers coming out of it. I watched and saw that one of the travelers was with Colar. As he was being led to another area he stopped and looked up and fell to his knees. I could see tears coming from his eyes and I heard him say. "Thank you. Ancestors, thank you. For I have have found the two that I seek. Honor and Glory to Naharra." I turned to see what he was looking at but the light again became bright not allowing me to see what he was seeing. I closed my eyes again as the light became brighter. When the light began to dim again I was back in the temple. That was when I saw them."

"Saw who?" Miccar asked still trying to comprehend all he just heard.

"I saw Niya and Maihara."Tollara said.

"You saw the sisters? No one has ever seen them." Dinara said in disbelief.

"Yes. They appeared to me. Wearing traditional Naharran warrior garb." Tollara said

"What did they say to you?" Miccar asked.

"They said. Do not be afraid. We have given you a glimpse of what is to come. Send him to them. He will not fail. You trained him well. When he leaves on his journey he is to take the stones, Niya's Kiru-Khans, and Maihara Shakara sticks. The stones and weapons will only activate for the true descendants. They then told me that I had leave them now and send Colar on his way. He had a very long journey ahead of him and time is the enemy. They then disappeared and I ran to Colar and just as my visions suggested Colar volunteered to go on the mission to find the Lanteans. He told me he felt like he needed to do something for his people. Once I told him of my vision and the need for him to leave and leave quickly, Colar packed his travel gear and weapons and was ready to depart that night. I asked him to wait until the other members were selected the next day and then leave. That would give me time to

retrieve the stones and the other artifacts from the temple." Tollara looked at his friends and sighed.

"You all my friends, my family. Know in my heart that I would never betray your trust unless I felt it was necessary. As I said before I will accept my fate and any punishment you see fit to give me. All I ask is that you not punish Colar."

Each member of the council took in what Tollara told then. It was Miccar who spoke first.

"Although, I'm not happy that you didn't tell us about Colar taking the stones and the other artifacts with him I must say now that I have a better understanding why you did not. I believe that no punishment is warranted for your actions." Miccar said.

The other council members nodded in agreement.

"So what do you we do now? Do we just sit here and wait until Colar and the descendants return?" Dinara asked.

"No. We will still look for a scientific solution to this problem while Colar is searching. We also prepare our people for the possible failure of the shield. I will call a meeting between the council and General Sitarras so we can start to coordinate our military efforts. Shield or no shield we will fight like our ancestors to the very last man. For everyone man we loose they will loose two. In the mean time, Tollara, please make the necessary arraignments for Colar and the descendants return. Use what ever resources you need. Dinara, please continue to work with the science teams and possibly come up with another option just in case the one we hope for fails. We will reconvene tomorrow. Honor and Glory to Naharra."

"Honor and Glory to Naharra" the council said and then adjourned.

Atlantis 0500hrs

Captain Danielle Campbell woke to the sound of a blaring alarm clock ring. She reached over and slammed down the snooze button with her fist. Just as she was about to drift back to sleep the alarm went off again. She opened up one eye and looked at the clock. There in red she saw the numbers 0505 blinking back at her.

Danielle fought back the need to throw the clock against the wall to shut it up. That would be the second clock this week that had been broken in such a manner. Not to mention that the owner of the clock would not appreciate her breaking something that didn't belong to her. In a way she was glad that the clock went off. She was having strange dreams again about people and places she had never been. She would have to take to Heightmeyer about the dreams. Maybe she could help make sense of them.

Danielle shut off the alarm and reluctantly started to get up. She looked back at the person laying next to her and noticed that the sound of the alarm didn't faze them one bit. Danielle never understood how he could sleep throw thet noise of the clock. It was loud enough to wake the dead.

She got up and started to get dressed. She needed to get back to her quarters before anyone saw her leaving his room.

After getting dressed she walked over to his side of the bed and kissed the back of his neck then leaned over to his ear.

"I'm leaving. This leaving at five in the morning is starting to get old. Either you need to get demoted or I need to get promoted. Catch me later." she whispered. She left the room before he could reply to her.

Danielle was quickly trying to walk to her room before being noticed by anyone. She had to pass by Colonel Sheppard's quarters on the way back to hers and she really didn't want to explain why she was up at this hour and where she was coming from. That was just a can of worms that she didn't need to be opened. Especially at this hour. It was known throughout Atlantis that she was not an early riser and hated to rise before the sun so her being up at this hour would raise some eyebrows.

She was almost to her room when she bumped into someone. It was Teyla holding a crying Torren. Danielle watched as Teyla tried in vain to console Torren from the bad dream she heard her say he had.

"Torren, it is all right. I am here." she said.

"Teyla. Good Morning. What's wrong with little man?" Danielle asked.

Teyla looked and finally saw Danielle standing there. She had been so preoccupied with Torren that she didn't notice the woman standing there.

"Good Morning Captain. You are up early. I hope that Torren did not wake you. He had a bad dream and has been crying ever since. Are you alright? I know you are not a ….what does Colonel Sheppard say.. an early bird." Teyla said.

Danielle laughed. There were couple of other choice words that she heard Colonel Sheppard say about her so she was glad that Teyla choice that one "No I'm fine and yes he is right I'm not an early bird. I couldn't sleep and went for a walk. I've been having some weird dreams myself lately. It must be going around."

Just then a crying Torren reached out for Danielle taking both women by surprise.

"Do you want Auntie Dani to hold you? Come here little man." Danielle said as Teyla passed Torren into Danielle's waiting arms. As soon as Danielle held him he stopped crying.

"Teyla. I'll tell you what. Why don't you go and get some sleep and I will take little man here to my quarters and you can pick him up later." Danielle said.

"Danielle, I could not ask you to do that. He seems to have quited down enough for me to take him." Just as Teyla tried to take him from Danielle Torren began to cry again.

"I think he wants to stay with me. Listen, don't worry. I have babysat him before and you know he and I get along great. Besides I'm up and I don't have any meetings until 11 am. So go, get some sleep and I'll see you say at 9 in the mess hall." Danielle said now rocking Torren in her arms.

"Danielle that is very generous of you. Thank you. Be good Torren. Mommy will see you later. Again, Danielle thank you and I will see you both in the mess hall at 9."

"Think nothing of it Teyla and don't worry. I still have clothes and diapers in my quarters from his last visit. Good night. Say see you later to mama Torren." Danielle took Torrens's little had and waived to Teyla. "Bye, Bye Mama." Danielle said for Torren. Then she and Torren walked off to her quarters.

As she walked to her quarters with a now quiet Torren Danielle began to think. Teyla's quarter's are where she was coming from. So why was she on that side? Then a smile came to her face as she realized why. Looks like I'm not the only one with a secret Danielle thought to herself.

"You know Torren, sometimes it's good to be an early bird. You never know what you are going to see." Danielle said as Torren looked up at her and giggled. "What are you laughing at? Huh? You know what I'm saying don't you? C'mon little man we are almost there."

Teyla waited till Danielle was out sight then headed back down the hall. Just as she turned the corner she bumped into the sleepy form of John Sheppard. He was standing there with his hair sticking up more than usually and wearing a black t-shirt and black sweat pants.

"Hey. I was just coming to check up on you and Torren."John said. He then noticed that Teyla was not carrying him anymore.

"Where is he?" John asked

Teyla knew he wouldn't like the answer but decided to tell him anyway. "Um.. Captain Campbell has him." she said quietly. She watched as John's whole facial expression changed from sleepy to one of quiet frustration. He then started to head in the direction of Captain Campbell's quarters. She stopped him before he could take another stop.

"John, where are you going?" she asked even though she knew exactly where he was headed.

"I'm going to get him back. He shouldn't be around her. Her bad habits might rub off on him. Can't have her contaminating him." John was about to take another step when Teyla pulled him back.

"John, Torren is fine. Danielle has watched him in the past and he has always come back alright. You are letting your own feelings of Captain Campbell cloud your judgment. Torren loves being with her. He stopped crying the moment he saw her. I think you are jealous that you could not stop his crying and she could. Besides, if you go and get him she will know we are together and I thought you did not anyone to know about us." Teyla said.

"Well, since you brought that up. I've been thinking about that. I think it's time that we go public. I'm tired of sneaking around. I don't like when you and Torren leave in the morning. I miss having you both with me. The bed feels so empty when you leave. So, if it's ok with you I say we make this official. What do you say?" John said looking at Teyla who looked a little shocked.

" If we go public as you say...will you get in trouble? Is is not forbidden for two members of a team to be together?" Teyla asked concerned now that John might get into trouble with his superiors over the news of their relationship.

"Well if you were military yes but, since you are a not military it's ok. Believe me I have done extensive research on this topic. Now, they may try and say that because we are together that you will have to leave the team but I can't find anything in the regs that say that if you are dating a civilian who is basically volunteering to be here that they have to leave a team because of a romantic involvement. So I think that covers it. Now, you still haven't answered the question?" John said.

Teyla looked up at John and caressed his face with her hand. She moved his hair out of his face. Teyla then kissed his lips. John pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He then pulled away.

"I take it that's a yes then." John said with a smile.

"Yes, John. We can go public as long it does not get you into any trouble or requires me go leave the team. Now can we please go to bed. I would like to get some sleep before I have to pick Torren up." Teyla said.

"I don't know how much sleep your going to get. Now that Torren is with... her." John couldn't even say Danielle's name.

"You can say her name John. It's Danielle and she is really not that bad once you get to know her. She is a member of your military. Do you not think it is important to get to know her instead of what you have heard?" Teyla asked.

"Do you have to make sense so early in the morning? OK. I will try and get to know her since you say she is worth the effort. I mean if Torren likes her she must be ok." John then took Teyla's hand and started walking back to his quarters with her.

"Yes, he does like her. I have never seen him become so connected so fast to someone. She has only been on base her a couple of months and he greets her as if she were around him since the day he was born. It is as you say... weird." Teyla said.

"It is weird. I have noticed that myself but sometimes kids get attached to people like that. Ok, enough talk about her...Danielle." John said before Teyla could correct him. "I believe you mentioned bed. I for one am ready to go back to it."

They both reached John quarters. John waves his hand over the controls to let them in. They both walk over to his bed an quickly get under the covers. John pulls Teyla close to him so he can feel the warmth of her body against him.

Just as Teyla was about to drift off to sleep she heard John whisper in her ear.

"I'm glad we are going public. Teyla... I love you." John said softly.

"As am I and I love you too, John." Teyla said as they both drift off to sleep.
