Back in 15th century lived Sir Dan Kahn (a cat!) in England who was a respected knight. He was special due to eidetic memory, higher intellect and great adventures. He was awarded a golden collar for one of his adventures, which he always wore. He had interest in travelling too. He somehow came to know about pyramids of Egypt which he wanted to admire by visiting them. The fact that Egyptians worshipped his race made him more determined about taking a tour to Egypt.
One may know that British ruled Egypt till mid 20th century, but the British ships sailed in Mediterranean Sea in 15th century itself. Sir Dan reached Egypt by travelling a long way on sea and land. He was intrigued by seeing the pyramids thinking about the early engineering. He then gave a visit to temple of Bastet, Egyptian cat goddess of fertility and motherhood. Not far from the temple he found coffins containing mummies of cats. Thousands of cats! But one of them looked special to him. It had inscriptions on it which didn’t make any sense to him, but he decided that he would open it.
On opening it he was surprised to find a “box like thing” in it about which he was completely sure, wasn’t mummy. Now the inscriptions made some sense. Being multi-lingual and having a good knowledge of symbols, he understood that it was some kind of alien device which concerned with time travel.
A thought passed in his mind about aliens. “We are not alone!” His thoughts went like, “aliens helped Egyptians to build structures like pyramids. It’s their technology behind our civilization. They worked for our development…”
The time travel machine had preset dates for 21st century, in which was their next visit to earth. Sir Dan decided that he would time travel to future. After all he was an adventurer; he was excited to go adventure like this. He operated the device and soon he found himself levitating in air above some sea. The device gave him many powers to defy the laws of nature, some being teleportation, levitation etc.
He understood that the device was a one side portal, as a giant bird containing humans in it, passed through him. On its outside, the “human-made” bird read ‘MH 370’. That ‘flying ship’ went inside a shiny portal which he later understood was the path in which aliens were to come. The portal closed as the ‘flying ship’ went in it.
He was angry at humans for closing that portal and thought about the benefits they could get from aliens and their technology if they had landed on earth. He thought of informing humans to stop their ship. So he travelled 3 days back in time to the nearest land from the south Chinese sea. But as the device provided only one side portal, he could not communicate with anyone.
He went to many places searching for a medium for communication. He reached a land where people still believed in witchcraft and wizardry, even in the computerized era! People there ate paper like thing made of cotton and linen, (money!) which seemed like the promissory notes of Chinese which Marco polo had mentioned in his book. People there also seemed to find reasons to fight with each other. But in the same land he met a ‘mantrik’ in a deserted street, who could talk to him.
He warned mantrik about the portal and flying ship, and asked him to stop it. Mantrik replied that he was talking about some other country and that he could do nothing about in. But then he suggested that he could bring Sir Dan completely to the future. Sir Dan thought if he could talk to others, he could stop the flying ship.
Mantrik warned that bringing him to future will erase him from past and his magic may not be able to take him back to past. He was ready to take the risk for the ‘greater good’ of earth.
Mantrik chanted some mantra and with an explosion, Sir Dan was as alive as the mantrik was. He was not levitating anymore. But before he could even get up, mantrik took out a knife and stabbed him until he was sure he died. He took the golden collar and ran away!
Well, what else he could expect from people who teach their children “don’t get robbed” rather than “don’t rob”!
