The sky had turned orange.
Teal'c stared upward. The
color of orange seemed to carry both warmth and coolness within it. The warmth
felt different than the heat that they had endured, but the coolness soothed
any of the aches they had gained on this journey.
The contradiction puzzled
Teal'c. Yet, somehow the contradiction felt right.
His gaze found those that had
been tortured by Jonas Hanson. Their eyes were open, wide and hopeful. He knew
that today they were finally free.
Yet, while the humans around
him expressed emotions of joy and amazement, Teal'c felt nothing but a detached
sense of peace. Once, he had looked upon such acts as magic from the gods. As a
young Jaffa, he had gazed with wonder at the many feats that the Goa'uld
performed before his eyes. But now – now was different. Though he had known for
some time that the Goa'uld were nothing but false gods, before today he had not
been afforded the opportunity to stand back and gaze upon their dazzlements
from afar.
Today it was not a Goa'uld
that performed such an act of awe and wonder. It had been his new friends among
the Tau'ri, one of the simple humans that toiled on this world, and himself.
Teal'c brought his gaze back
to the sky and smiled.
