Part 2: The Mysterious Stranger - 1006AD Katsina "The Curse of the Sultan: A Mystery in Time 1006AD Katsina"

The sun was setting over the ancient city of Katsina, casting a warm orange glow over the bustling streets. As the people of the city went about their daily lives, a mysterious stranger appeared in the city. He was tall and thin, with a long beard and piercing eyes. He wore a long, dark robe and a turban on his head.

The stranger made his way through the city, his gaze never leaving the ground. He seemed to be searching for something, but no one could tell what. He stopped at the gates of the Sultan's palace, and the guards immediately stepped forward to stop him.

The stranger spoke in a low voice, his words barely audible. He asked to see the Sultan, and the guards reluctantly allowed him to pass. As he entered the palace, the Sultan's courtiers and advisors looked on in shock. No one had ever seen this man before, and they were all curious as to why he had come.

The Sultan welcomed the stranger into his court and asked him what he wanted. The stranger replied that he had come to deliver a message from the gods. He said that the Sultan was cursed, and that he must find a way to break the curse or face dire consequences.

The Sultan was shocked by the stranger's words, but he was also intrigued. He asked the stranger to explain the curse, but the stranger refused. He said that the Sultan must find the answer himself. With that, the stranger bowed and left the palace, leaving the Sultan and his courtiers to ponder the mysterious message.
