She joins a High school as a temporary teacher and is entrusted with the task of leading a group of ten students on a trekking /camping expedition. On the way they meet a guy who seems to be a trouble maker but later, he proves to be a pillar of strength. Early morning their camp is attacked by Bears and they flee taking a different route. But they are lost. They enter a lost world where people are living, in hiding, for over 250 years. Their technology is much advanced as compared to ours. Their world is called ‘Utopia’ but now it is changing due to an oppressive ruler, meaning the ills of our world have manifested in Utopia too. They are trapped in the time of this hidden world and want to help the people there fight against the oppressive ruler and his cronies. The oppressive ruler wants to make a number of Time Machines by using the brains of the scientists who died in harness at the site of the experiments. They all decide to help the good citizens of ‘Utopia’ the lost world. The huge brains are destroyed and the Orbs of the scientists escape from the huge pulsating Brain to help them in their mission of destroying the Huge brains at other centers. In this process, the crystals that are used in the hypnotizing guns are almost finished and to get more they split up to go to the 'Magical World' through a curtain which is actually a portal. The Magical World is a flat man made Earth-like satellite, which was made as a joke to taunt the scientists 7000 years ago, and which is still operational. Here they meet the inhabitants. They are fascinated with the advancement of science especially the talking chips and the flying cars. They see a completely different world where animals, plants, rocks, water etc. can talk. Before you touch anything you need to seek permission. They also meet the Aliens called the 'Crocodile Race' who have come to the Magical World (the flat satellite) to get supplies. They see a spaceship being guided to land by the scientists of the Magical World. They also see the inside of the mountain where the controls are situated which help in maintaining the environment of the Magical World. They get an invite from the Aliens to visit ‘Titan’ the satellite of Saturn where the Crocodile race has settled. At present they are on the mother Ship going to Titan. **************************** Will try to post a chapter in a week now.

Alien Spaceship Lands on the Magical World

The 'Crocodile Race', as the Aliens were called, were guided by the system and the pilot ship to their docking area. It took about 20 minutes from the spaceship's entry to its landing.

The fact that the Magical World had their own spaceships, really surprised the students. They never thought that the people here had their own spaceships. If they had pilot ships then they would have the entire fleet of scout ships, cargo ships, transport ships fighter ships, etc.

Upon the landing of the spaceship in the docking area, the CCTV showed some big wigs of the Magical World receiving the people of the Crocodile Race.

Four Aliens were seen being received. These Aliens were quite tall and quite slow in movement. They looked just like the crocodiles on Earth. But on Earth, the crocodiles were found more in the water floating like logs or on the riverside basking in the sun, where they walked on all fours.

But here, the Aliens who looked like crocodiles were called the 'Crocodile Race' and they walked erect. They balanced their weight on their two back legs with the additional support of the tail. Their huge tail was a nuisance as it swished left and right and Tina felt that it would cause a lot of accidents for the Aliens without any fault of theirs. One of the Aliens was awfully clumsy and had knocked down a few flower pots with his tail.

Tina felt sorry for him. She was a sensitive girl and realized that the Crocodile Race was called so, but the aliens were not really crocodiles. She had a hunch that the crocodile skin was actually a spacesuit. This hunch she had, she knew that she needed to verify from the Aliens.

Aarvin walked over to where all the students were standing and asked them, "The spaceship has landed, would you like to meet the Aliens after an hour or two?"

The children were waiting for such an opportunity. "Yes, Aarvin Sir, we want to meet the Aliens. It will be a dream come true."

"But at the moment they must be tired, so we do not mind waiting and meeting them after a few hours, maybe in the evening," said Tina.

All nodded their heads in agreement. Since there was nothing more to see in the two control rooms, the students, Sherpa and Aarvin decided it was time to go and have lunch in the Cafeteria of the Mountain as it was almost lunchtime.

The Cafeteria was not far. It was situated where the flying cars had landed when they had come in the morning.

The children recalled that at that time when they had got out of the cars, there was a bus-like vehicle along with a driver waiting to take them inside the mountain. They had all boarded the vehicle and the Orbs who had been flying with the cars also flew above this vehicle. The vehicle had entered a meandering tunnel and made its way up the mountain. After traveling about 15-20 minutes in that vehicle, which would probably be about an hour by foot, they came to a stop. The vehicle stopped and the driver asked them to alight as their destination had arrived.

Thereafter, Aarvin had led them through the tunnel which went further up via a wide staircase and they were soon in the first dome or the first control room which was hall like with glass windows as well as a glass roof.

The students were ready to leave and they felt that they would never again get an opportunity to visit this place again. As they had not got their mobiles, they could just commit to memory all the images. If they submitted all this in their project report when they got back home, who would believe them?

The journey back was different. They got out of the first control room and took a lift down to the base of the mountain. The Orbs traveled above the roof of the lift.

Chris was a bit perturbed and asked Aarvin, "Why were we brought to the dome in such a roundabout way by the bus and then walking? Why were we not taken there directly by the lift like we are descending now?"

Aarvin laughed and replied, "It is a long story. Let us reach the Cafeteria and have our lunch, thereafter, I will tell you a story."

Soon they reached the ground floor which was actually where their flying cars had landed when they had arrived at the mountain around 9.30 a.m. They walked out of the lift and followed Aarvin who was leading the way.

At the side of the mountain and quite well hidden was an opening like that to a cave. Upon entering it there was a huge cave with lighting and set with tables which could seat 4-5 persons at a table. At the side were counters. Aarvin found one of the assistants there and asked him to join a few tables to seat 12 people. Soon this was done. They all sat down to discuss the menu to order lunch.

All the dishes were vegetarian. A few of the boys and one or two of the girls were happy with non-vegetarian food. Unfortunately, everyone in the Magical World ate vegetarian food. They had not had non-veg since 4-5 days back if you counted it as days by the number of hours spent here since they left their camping site where they had initially pitched their tents.

Aarvin saw their downcast faces and said, "The human body was made to be that of a vegetarian." " See, the digestion started from the saliva which is alkaline and similar to that of herbivores. The long intestine and the appendix also indicated that the digestion of vegetarian foods needed a longer process as was needed by the body of herbivores."

"If mankind was to be a non-vegetarian in nature, he would have had protruding canines like in carnivores. The digestive juices in the mouth would be acidic and there was no need for such a long intestine to digest the already digested food by the herbivorous animals that were being cooked and eaten."

Aarvin further added, "You may not like what I am saying but your world is slowly awakening to this logic. Being vegetarian is being healthy."

I do not mean to criticize the food habits of the readers. I had earlier indicated that the people in the Magical World were vegetarians and the Aliens were non-vegetarians.

So, I need to stick to my story.
