Author's Note: Character death occurs in this story. There is also significant character whumpage. On a more serious note, this story continues on from Enmity, so if you have not yet read that, you might want to follow the link below and do so. It will further your enjoyment, honestly. Please be aware that the rating for this story is R - for mature readers of adult status. I post this warning due to the nature of Teyla's dream. Otherwise - enjoy.
