The search for Kalid/1

Davichito

It is about a search for a Master of an Ancient Order. He is trained in mental powers. He is the key to defeating the evil who rules the galaxy. Leone will go to his planet to find him.

“Is it the planet we are looking for?” said Leone.

“Yes, it is. At least we have come to the planet where we must find Kalid, the Wise One” answered Aristark.

They had gotten to the planet. They were watching it through the windows on the “Thot” spaceship. Leone and Aristark were two very important people who came from the planet Sakkara. They were searching a wise man called Kalid. Leone remembered when Sybil told about him.

“It was my master” said Sybil, a white witch. “He taught me everything I know. He is the Great Master of Osiris Order”.

“The Osiris order?” Leone asked. I thought it was extinct many years ago.

“It appeared to have vanished for security reasons” Sybil answered. “But it has been alive all this time. As he is a Great Master, we must seek his counsel immediately. He is the only one who can help us on our mission to defeat Marius. But the main problem is we are not sure of his whereabouts. I think he has gone back to his natal planet”.

“Which planet is that?” asked Leone.

“The name of the planet is ‘Vertis Flammis’. It is called only Flammis by most of us.

“Flammis?” asked Leone. I have never heard about it since I work as an interstellar pilot. It must have another name on the classification.

“No. That is its only name. It is a secret planet”.

“Do you mean that the Empire did not conquer it?”

“Yes. They hide when the Empire was there”

“It is completely absurd. Are you saying that they hide a whole planet? That is impossible”.

“Not by spiritual means. Anyway, they did not hide it fully. When the Masters of that planet detected that the Empire was close, they simply sent false data to the spaceships. The Empire had seen a planet there but their instruments now did not show anything. They could not even see anything through the telescope. The Masters used their mental powers to confound their detectors. And so, the Empire never knew about them”.

“I don’t believe it. I believe you, OK, you can be saying the truth. But maybe someone invented that story. The Empire MUST know about them. Nothing escapes the Empire”.

“It is not as you think. There are stronger forces than the Empire. Particularly, the Masters use Mental Powers which are superior to all the science the Empire can have. As long as they keep undetected, they will be able to conquer the Empire and… Oh, I am saying too much. The point is that Kalid must be there, hidden from the hands of Set”.

“And how will I find that planet if the Masters are hidden? Will my devices detect it?”

“You will need a special device installed on your spaceship. That way the planet will detect you are from our Order. You are not from our Order, but you will help us on a mission, so I think you can carry it. My servants will install it when you are about to leave”.

“I don’t know. It is all too strange. I think I will have to trust you and the Masters. The point is I have never trusted anyone since I was betrayed… Anyway, let’s go to that place. I think the Masters are our only hope…”
