Daniel continued to read the ancient text quietly and listened to her at the same time. He scoffed at her mentions of the aliens. “They stole identities and knowledge to manipulate thousands of cultures into their slaves and to worship them. They were fascinating for their resourcefulness, but that’s the only thing they had going for them. I met other alien races that thought they were gods too. I’m just glad that you are nothing like them. Then I met rather lovely alien races and it made my job much more interesting.”
He tried not to cry at losing his family. “Honestly, I haven’t thought about Sha’re and Scar’ra in years. They became Ascended when their planet was destroyed. Actually, I was an Ascended being for a time. I was a being of pure light and I could fly to places much like you do.” He added.
Daniel paused for the waitress to fill his own cup of coffee. “It was actually Earth that I traveled back in time to. We did it by a time machine that was created by a benevolent alien race called the Ancients. You might have heard of them. Anyway, if you are thinking about time traveling, don’t! It makes a huge mess of things!” He explained.
