What Comes Of Dreams Chapter 16 Daniel
slowly started coming around to the sound of water intermittently dripping
somewhere around him. His head ached
like it had been sat on by and elephant, while the rest of his body felt oddly
numb. The fact that he remembered the
abuse he had suffered had left several broken bones and other injuries, his
body should be hurting like his head…but it didn’t. The last image he saw before blacking out
came rushing back into his mind and once again he softly called out the name,
“Chaka.” Hearing
the whisper coming from the human he had just rescued, the Unas slowly crept
over to the prone figure with a bowl of green liquid. Kneeling down beside him, the Unas slowly
spoke in a soothing sound. “Not
Chaka. I am Chena. I am Chaka’s daughter.” She said as she gently lifted Daniel’s head
into her lap. “Chaka’s daughter?”
Daniel asked in confusion. “You
are Daniel; my father’s friend?” Chena
stated. “I have your image in my mind,
passed down from my father.” “Did
you rescue me from Zor, Chena?” Daniel asked trying to keep awake. “I
found you after the false one left.”
Chena explained. “Hush, you must
rest. Drink this grok, it will help you
to heal.” Chena said as she tipped the
bowl to Daniel’s lips. “You have many
injuries, but this will help ease the pain and heal you.” After
taking several gulps of the awful tasting, grok, and sputtering when he tried
to cough, Daniel felt like his whole body was suddenly very warm. “Chena,
I thank you for helping me.” Daniel said
with a thousand-watt smile. “How do you
speak my tongue, Chaka was not able to speak but a few words?” “Father
brought me to a new planet when I was just a young one.” Chena relayed as she gazed into Daniel’s blue
eyes. “I was raised by others like you
and learned to speak their tongue.” “Where
is Chaka?” Daniel asked on realizing what she had said. “My
father was killed helping those that raised me.
He fought the Jaffa that came while the others escaped.” Chena said in a sad voice. “They raised me in his honor for helping
them.” Feeling
his strength returning and the pain going away, Daniel attempted to sit up but was held in place by Chena’s firm hands. “You
should not move yet.” Chena
pleaded. “The grok will make you feel
better, but it takes time to heal…you are not ready yet.” Relaxing
back into her lap as much by her soothing tone as by the effects of the grok,
Daniel continued to speak with her. “I
am sorry for Chaka’s loss.” Daniel
sighed. “He was very kind to me and
helped me.” Smiling
down at the human in her lap, Chena suddenly remembered something. “Father asked that if I ever came across you,
to give you a message. He said that you
helped him more than you ever knew and that he was honored to have known
you. Many of the Unas would not be free
if not for you and your friends. He said
that your meeting was meant to be.” Daniel
smile as a tear made it’s way down his cheek on
hearing those words. So long he had
worried at what had become of Chaka since he left him to lead the Unas
rebellion on that planet where others of his kind were hunted and then
enslaved. “Thank
you, Chena.” Daniel said as his eyes drooped shut and he slipped into a
peaceful slumber. “You
are welcome, Daniel, and thank you.”
Chena said with a little smile. End Chapter Sixteen of This story along with all original characters and situations were created
