Chari Skale

Chapter 9: Flashback

Welcome back, dear reader. You're eager to understand how Samantha navigates the aftermath of her harrowing experiences. Consider this chapter your guide. Letting go isn't new for her, but the cycle of revisiting these traumas is. Being a slave and enduring such horrors leaves indelible scars. Some memories will forever remain raw and unyielding.

Sharing these burdens is a double-edged sword. Sam understands the potential danger it poses to everyone. It's not just fear that keeps her silent; sometimes, discretion is the wisest course. The weight Samantha Carter, or simply Sam as I call her, carries in my story is far from a closed chapter. The malevolent Chari's intentions remain unclear. Surely, a life of normalcy awaits everyone on Earth if her schemes truly are over. Perhaps there are no grand battles unfolding at this moment, but some would argue this war takes a different form.

Intrigued, are you, reader? You believe knowing the ending grants me an advantage. While I possess the story's conclusion, unveiling it all at once diminishes the impact. This isn't a fairytale, I assure you. The events transpire in a reality as tangible as ours. Don't be misled by the temporal setting. What is the current curriculum lacking, I wonder?

Perhaps you've encountered my other tales, realities that echo and diverge from our own. Merging? Not quite. Patience, reader, there's more to be revealed. This narrative chronicles what I've gleaned about the ancient Jedi Knights and the enigmatic Stargate network. Within this vast universe lies an ocean yet to be explored, one I yearn for you to someday navigate.

Let's not digress further, lest we miss critical details. Remember, we're barely a page into this epic. Everything you've absorbed could be a mere illusion woven by the darkness. Such is the nature of reality-hopping: the path is ever-shifting, and getting lost amidst the complexities is a constant threat.

As Sam confided in Lisblia and her Daughter, recovery is possible, yet the scars remain. Imagine enduring what she has. While healing may occur, forgetting is nigh impossible. We must learn to coexist with the tribulations life throws our way.

Despite her current state, Sam can move forward. However, the specter of Chari looms large. Driven by a hatred fueled by an unknown source, Sam faces considerable peril. Unveiling the reason behind Chari's animosity remains a mystery, one I'm yet to unravel.

Now, let's delve deeper. We'll revisit a pivotal moment, a flashback that illuminates a crucial turning point in Her Majesty's arduous journey of healing...

One day, Emily and Ben Aaron were at their home talking over the recent events. Emily believed that Sam was the keystone to all that has happened, and Ben believed it was his uncle.

Emily said, "I know what Brandon has done for everyone on Earth, but Sam sent him. She was the one to instruct him what he should do; train her to be a Jedi Knight. He wouldn't have a clue if she didn't give him the details, and he wouldn't have succeeded if Sam wasn't so powerful with the Force. Holy cow, Ben, she is the Force! Her Padawan could train her because of the person she is right now."

"When she was a teenager, she could only recognize things about him. There were a lot of things both of them had done when she was training him. That only makes them two unique Jedi Knights I have ever seen. It also proves the powerful bond those two have. It substantiates nothing you have said. I can show the same thing for Uncle Brandon. They could train him for four years because of his power of the Force. He could train us two in the same length of time. No sister — Brandon is in charge."

"Maybe they are both in charge — in their own way."

Ben sat down on the couch near her and asked, "What do you mean?"

She smiled, "You said it yourself, bro. They both have done unique things. I'm believing they wouldn't pull it off if they didn't have each other."

Ben showed confusion on his face; He asked, "Are you saying reality is of two worlds?"
