Mars Time Odyssey

The Martian was showing me how to do it. I had to take the orb and step on the pyramid. That was it. Then she showed me something figures moving in the city towards the chamber it was happening right now.

They were what's left of the horde, their body parts assimilated, arms as legs, legs as arms , headless or heads in the wrong position, joined carelessly just so they can move to their target, me.

The Martian grabbed the orb and thrust it to me she pointed towards the door.

The orb glowed in my hands, suddenly the chamber filled with Martian ghosts.

The horde became confused and started fighting the ghosts. It was my chance to escape. I ran towards the door evading the horde as they continued attacking the oblivious ghosts.

One of them noticed my escape and rushed towards me with an arm about to strike. I raised my arm up to shield me with the orb in the other.

 The horde creature swung its arm and I blocked the swing with mine. I expected another but nothing happened.

The creature suddenly froze in place its color becoming pale, muted. Its surface started to peel and began to crumble. It collapsed into nothing leaving only a pile of dust and debris. I wasn't sure what or why it happened but It had something to do with the orb. I didn't stay to find out. The rest of the horde was after me. I ran towards the pyramid. The horde was just behind but I got to the pyramid I ran up to the top with the orb in my hand. The orb floated away from my hand it glowed bright and grew in size. A bright flash and a tremor I saw the horde crumble... then I passed out.

I awoke in a room on a bed the Martian woman looking at me smiling and with her others more Martians but no ghosts they were alive again!

The woman touched me like before and explained to me what I did. I restored them back in a time dimension, a parallel time where they can exist again. They needed someone to restore them but the Saharan city was destroyed and when the horde came there was no one and no time to do anything else until I discovered the pyramid in the Sahara.

They also explained this mars does not exist in my time. She let the others touch me, there were more exchanges of images from the Martians grateful for helping them. I stayed a few days in this new Mars with a blue sky, green grass and a beautiful city. Then it was time for me to get back. I didn't go alone.

The Martian woman was going with me we were going to restore the Saharan city their orb was buried in the sand somewhere.

As I write this odyssey in my room in the Saharan city you now know we were able to restore the city in a parallel time where it can exist without disrupting Earth's history and time. Some day the people of Earth will colonize their Mars in their own time. As for myself I am happy and content here with my Martian wife.

I leave this message buried by the base of the pyramid in the Sahara leaving the reader to believe this tale or regard it as pure fiction.
