Fresh Start
She saw many faces in the crowd that night. New ones mixed with familiar ones and all of them friendly with smiles on their faces. It was going to be strange not having to run or hide from the Wraith, but she knew that today was the beginning of a new world. In time, they wouldn’t have to worry about dying at the hands of the Wraith or perhaps be one of the few to die of old age.
Two gentlemen she had only met in passing walked in front of her over to the edge of the balcony. The man with the brown hair - Dr. McKay she believed - raised his hand to the other’s neck and rested it there as they gazed out over the massive ocean. The sweet gesture made her smile.
Perhaps this was the place where she would eventually settle.
That would have to wait, though. There was still much to do. In the mean time, she would be happy with the knowledge that her people were safe within the city of the Ancients.
Teyla inhaled the ocean air deeply and closed her eyes. The air smelled fresh and gentle, and it made her feel at peace for the first time in many days.
“We have made many friends today. I see a new hope in our people.”
She didn’t open her eyes, but leaned her head in Halling’s direction. “I agree.”
