A five-part fiction exploring Teal'c's existence before he joined SG-1. Obviously, we mostly know what happens at the end of these fics, but it is the journey that counts.
Born into privilege on Elysia, Teal'c's life is forever changed by his father's indiscretions.
Teal'c is the strongest and bravest of his peers. Yet he is an outcast among the Jaffa of Chulak, with his mother bearing the raven tattoo of Cronus on her brow.
Having survived the taunts and gibes of his fellows, Teal'c has grown strong and is the unchallenged leader of the young warriors training with Master Bra'tac. But even his strength can not fight the traditions of the Jaffa, which threaten to rob him of the two women who are the heart of his life.
After many years of training, Teal'c prepares for his first mission in the service of Apophis. He will celebrate his return with his union to Drey'auc, but war is hard, and a man may change when blood is on his hands.
Having served loyally through thick and thin, Teal'c takes his mentor's place as First Prime. Having endured the shame of his childhood, will Teal'c have what it takes to survive the greatest honour a Jaffa can receive.
