Why This Must Be Read:
Out of all stargate fanfiction I have personally read, this story feels a smidge different. The writer adds elements of fantasy into a sci-fi story. Considering the different nature of fantasy, this cannot be an easy thing to do. But the writer manages it well here. Using those elements, the writer explores the concepts of human connection, friendship, and family. It made me think, as well filled me with warm fuzzies when I finished it. That is a sign of a good story to me.
”So you're saying that up until twenty minutes ago, none of you had any clear memory of meeting these men or the girl, or of having seen this brooch before." General Hammond looked at each member of SG1, sitting around the briefing table. Said brooch lay on the table before them.
"That's right, sir," Sam replied. "I still have no memory of the actual battle, just of waking up and seeing the attackers leaving."
"They murdered all the survivors," Daniel said in a quiet voice. He could still see the sword piercing the man's chest in his mind's eye. "And I think they were kidnapping the girl." He turned to Jack, looking for confirmation. To his disappointment, Jack didn't say a word.
"There was an individual of slight stature amongst the men, DanielJackson. I believe you are correct." Daniel glanced at Teal'c and smiled, glad that Teal'c had spotted her, knowing now that she was still alive, or had been when the battle took place.
Jack idly picked the brooch up off the conference table. "It looks like an uncut diamond," Jack said of the stone in the center of the brooch, passing his index finger over it. Turning it over once in his hands, he handed it over to Sam with a shrug. She gave it a quick glance before passing it on to Teal'c. The workmanship on the piece was exquisite; it appeared to be made of solid gold with a large unimposing stone set in the center of a model of a dragon. Teal'c's face remained impassive as he closely examined the writing on the bauble. "I do not recognize the writing, and the stone is not one that I have seen before," Teal'c admitted. Done with the appraisal, he handed it across the table to Daniel, saying, "Perhaps you will recognize the writing, DanielJackson."
"Oh, I have already. It's an ancient form of Gaelic. I think it reads 'We of the Dragons’.”
