THORBLEN stands at the window watching the sky—“zukanor I
don’t recognize anything everything has changed ..even the stars and planets
somehow look different “
“Naturally you have been sleeping over last 5 million
years”-says a gleeful zukanor’s ghost like apparition.
You destroyed the land of ishran by flooding us.. do you remember the flood
gates you had deliberately thrown open letting the sea water come in and sink
our land.?
Bah! That was only a joke!
Well dear nephew ,now the joke is on you enjoy the
taste of your own joke , a brave new
world awaits you.. I will now return ..good bye!-says zukanor and disappears..
GARTH and prof. lumiere reach the laboratory and find
thorblen standing near the window …
“you are perhaps right! He is alive !” proff. Whispers..
Proff! Close the door softly and switch on the lights says
garth
As the light comes on garth and thorblen stand staring at
each other –“who are you?,where have you come from? We are friends... We are
here to help you says garth.
Thorblen makes use of strange occult powers of the ring of
sycultra on his finger and suddenly disappears !
He has vanished says an astonished proff .
“ not only that ,he reached the door passing right through
me!-says a visibly shaken garth.
“you are right !he is not in this room ..says lumeire”
“that means he can become invisible whenever he likes ..says
garth”
Coming out of the laboratory garth and lumeire are suddenly
startled on hearing loud cackling mocking laughter of thorblen..
“do you hear that
professor ? It is astonishing” says garth
“maybe we have let loose a devil on our world!” says lumiere
On closely examining Thorblen’s box Garth and Proff find the
scroll …
Can you read this script? Asks Garth.
No! I have never come across anything like this before!
..Answers Lumiere
Only one man could probably read this cryptologist Dr
Flanders we shall meet him tomorrow –Lumiere tells Garth while they are
speeding in their car on a dark London street by the side of river Thames.
“Tomorrow? Why not today? Asks garth
He must be asleep garth ..
Then we will wake him up says Garth ,earlier we know about
this devil the better .
A few mile away thorblen is roaming around on dark London
streets..
Thinking-“I have got to be careful..These people are 5
million years older than me they may be a race of super beings.

A speeding taxi is about to crush an invisible man….
“is that launatic trying to kill me”thinks thorblen
when he sees a taxi rushing at him not realizing that driver is unable to see
him,he points his finger at the driver invoking the occult power of the ring of
sycultra resulting in the taxi rolling
away uncontrollably.
Ha ! ha! This will teach him a lesson… comments a smirking
thorblen.
Thorblen is at Trafalgar squire when he is spotted by a police constable .thorblen thinks” I should talk with some
local person”
“are you in some kind of trouble sir? A PC questions
thorblen…why are you roaming about dressed like this sir? Your name and address
please?
“thorblen!...a resident of
ancient land of ishran.. a descendant, third in line of great meldon answers
thorblen defiantly .
No sir you did not
understand what I am saying? Asks PC
Clearly a primitive
human being! Doesn’t understand anything, I will enter his mind and see…thinks
thorblen.
Thorblen disappears and enters in to the mind of PC Higgins
Hey! Where did he go ? says a startled Higgins ..and
suddenly he is seized with terrible headache “ what is happening inside my
head? Why I keep on repeating thorblen
,ishran zukanor again and again?
Within seconds thorblen analyzes PC higgins’s mind.
Thorblen comes out of the mind of a dazed policeman
–“supermen!bah! these primitive people do not know anything ,they have no
powers I am their lord and master –gloats thorblen.
I have found out by entering this man’s mind.. do you hear
me zukanor new world’s people are utter
fools,mere animals and now I will use them in any way I like.exults thorblen.
There is no dearth of idiots like you exclaims thorblen
calling pc Higgins a fool and suddenly disappears leaving a dazed and very
shaken policeman behind.—“ I have seen terrible things, burning men, snow and
fire ,talking dogs!
It is night and traflgar squire witnesses a strange
spectacle of a fishing going on in a public fountain watched by a surprised
police inspector and beat sergeant…
Sergeant what is going on here?
Sir he is constable Higgins , seems like a joke to me.
“sergeant I have caught a fish look how beautiful it is come
let us fish together you too inspector! –says a confused pc Higgins.
“for god’s sake pull him out of there “ shouts the police
inspector.
Later at the police station---“ sergeant I don’t understand
anything he keeps on repeating” strange name thorblen” while PC Higgins is
still muttering incoherently inspector tells sergeant to summom the police
surgeon but for god’s sake not a word of all this should be leaked to anybody.
PAGE-6
How is he doctor?—police ispestoe asks the surgeon examining
p.c. Higgins
He is in shock …he has been under tremendous mental stress
Sir this is the last noting in the case diary of last night
‘s beat in p.c. higgins’s notebook-only
one word “thorblen”—sergeant tells he police inspector.
Thorblen?
Sir he was repeating this name again and again when we
brought him in last night-sergeant tells the inspector.
Then find out who is this thorblen advice police surgeon as he prepares to
leave.
Meanwhile professor lumiere and garth are discussing the
secret script on the scroll found in thorblen ‘s box with cryptologist flanders.
“astonishing! Strange! This script seems to belong to as yet
undiscovered lost ancient civilization-exclaims an astonished flanders the
cryptologist.
Ok. Flinders but how to interpret this script?-asks the
professor
Can we use a computer? Asks garth
Good suggestion! Says flanders I will use one of the
computers at national laboratory
First we will arrange these things in an ordrly fashion and
tomorrow we can feed this in to the computer..but first let us have some coffee
it is going to be painstaking hard work –says flanders
