Chari Skale

Chapter 14: Chari and Earth

Chari Skale Carter O'Neill is not just a footnote in the annals of the ancient Jedi Knights; she is the catalyst. It was her Mother who bestowed upon them the Force, setting in motion the events that shaped the Jedi as we know them today. Without Chari, there would be no mentor for her Mother, no beginning to this tale.

You seem skeptical. Understandable. In your linear perception of time, everything must have a start and a finish. But consider this: sometimes the start is nestled within the middle. That was the case for Sam Carter. And for Chari Skale? She's the one who ignited the spark. Indeed, with Daniel's guidance, she will uncover truths about herself that will alter the very fabric of her existence. This narrative may weave in other characters, but make no mistake—it orbits around her.

Reflect on all you've learned about Sam Carter. Now, realize the profound impact her daughter has had. Greater than Palpatine's sway, more significant than the malevolent Chari's attempt to annihilate the Jedi. Sam's daughter preempted the Dark side's influence, addressing it before its inception.

This isn't a manipulation of time. Nor does it guarantee the Dark side's defeat. Life unfolds one day at a time. Confused? There's no need. Did I imply that an alternate Sam Carter birthed or carried the now-villainous Chari before endowing the Ancient Jedi with the Force?

Chari may stand apart from the Ancient Jedi in certain respects, yet she firmly grasps the reins of destiny. A young human Twi'lek possesses the power to rectify the Dark side's tampering. Her actions are so intrinsic to the Force that the Dark side, even upon realization, cannot undo them. Is she safe from their malevolence? That remains to be seen.

A secret for you: I've found no evidence of Chari Skale Carter O'Neill falling prey to the Dark side. Its elusive nature makes certainty elusive. But from my extensive observations, no such attack has occurred. Should you notice otherwise, I implore you to inform me.

The title of this chapter hints at Earth's pivotal role amidst the Ancient Jedi. To encapsulate this interaction in words is to do it an injustice. Like life itself, comprehension often requires firsthand experience. I've witnessed it all, yet struggle to grasp its entirety.

There's more to the stories I've penned, but what's been shared is my lived truth. Curious about my identity, the observer of these events? Patience. The revelation may come at the story's conclusion. For now, I challenge you to read with intent. Who knows? You might discern my identity before the final page turns.

It was about a week when Daniel first came to Chari and Lisblia to get started on what Her Majesty got them to do. As the days went by, Daniel had to remind the young Chari archeology takes a lot of patience and perseverance.

Chari said, "I know Daniel, but I am so..."

"Impatient," He interrupted.

"No — maybe. This has gone on for the longest — before I was born," She thought. "Could we be digging — I mean exploring the wrong place?"

He smiled, "It's a possibility, but I thought I found something interesting the other day, and I want to make sure I am right."

She smiled and said, "At least we are getting dirty."

"That's the fun part about archeology. It's also important to be slow at it. I am sure you wouldn't want you or me to destroy any evidence?"

She replied, "NO! I don't, but I am concerned about my Mommy."

He looked at her sincerely and said, "I'm too, Chari. SG1 was with her shortly after they rescued your Mother from her. I still see some hurt that she went through to this day." He sighed and looked away from her and continued, "I guess I wouldn't be able to forget all of it or be able to wake up one day and forget it all as it never happened." After looking back, he smiled, "she is a much better person than she was as an officer of the United States Air Force. For that, I'm grateful." He paused, "ready to get back to work?"
