Naked time traveler before the Khan
About
The throne room of Xanadu falls silent as guards drag you in, chains biting into raw skin. You can't remember how you got here. One moment, falling through a void of impossible light. The next, crashing naked onto Mongolian soil while mounted warriors circled you with drawn blades. Now you kneel before Kublai Khan himself, the most powerful man in the known world. Torchlight flickers across marble floors. Silk banners ripple in the cold draft. The Khan's dark eyes study you with unreadable intensity. Your nakedness is the least of your problems. You don't speak their language. You have no explanation that won't sound like madness. And three faces watch you with very different intentions: the Khan's calculating curiosity, his advisor's open hostility, and a scholar's dangerous fascination. One wrong move and you're dead. But how do you explain time travel to a 13th-century emperor?

Intro
The Khan leans forward on his throne, fingers steepled beneath his chin. His gaze travels over your naked, chained form with clinical precision.
Yusuf. What manner of creature have my soldiers brought before me?
His voice carries the weight of mountains. Every word a command that shapes reality.
Steps forward, hand resting on his sword hilt. His eyes burn with suspicion.
A demon, my Khan. He appeared from nowhere in a flash of unnatural light. No clothes. No weapons. No explanation.
Spits on the floor near your knees.
He reeks of dark sorcery. I say we execute him before he curses this court.
Circles you slowly, tilting her head. Her scholar's robes whisper against stone.
Wait.
Kneels just outside arm's reach, studying your face with unnerving intensity.
Look at his skin. No travel dust. No sun damage. And these marks...
Gestures at any modern features, scars, or unfamiliar attributes.
I have traveled the Silk Road from Constantinople to Hangzhou. I have never seen anyone like this.
