Giant teeth and singing cats. "You're not from around here!"

Clara had borrowed a few of my things to show and impress her friends and word quickly spread around and I was summoned to appear before their queen and to bring in the curious items I had.
I still had some images on my device and the Queen wanted to see them too.
She was particularly impressed with my photos of horses with riders as they were a particular interest of mine.
"What a magnificent looking beast" She commented after viewing the ones in my collection.
Then she marveled at the Megladon tooth and her eyes lit up in wonderment when I showed her the opal. The opal was a blue world trapped in a stone and the queen told me they had nothing on her planet that could match the beauty of it.
She knew the basics of how I'd got there from interviewing Clara and wanted to go to where I came from to see for herself a World that was far beyond what they knew off.
I felt on a high from the Queens appreciation of my things and to top it off I showed her a vid of singing<b> cats. </font></b>
Immediately she realized that that was what her palace was missing. Singing cats!
Maybe I'd found myself in a position of interest and advantage. I wondered how I could take advantage of that.
A home by the seaside and servants to take care of my every need.
But what really tugged at my interest was finding evidence that proved that the "doc" had really become shipwrecked here long ago and had started humans here.
I wondered if I should mention that but a nagging suspicion made me hold that to myself.
I could be labelled a heretic for proposing that humans had not been the result of God's work.
Then I'd be imprisoned or become an outcast . I had to be careful.
I showed the Queen my craft which was just a fundamentally bare boned deal that I'd not got around to tidying up.
I explained the risks of it trying to instill the danger of messing with forces that could reject an unwelcomed intrusion.
She was hard to put off and wanted to know what I would accept for my services.
I showed her the pic of lord Shiva and told her I was interested in finding it.
She instructed an historian to help me with it and she offered to come with me to inspect it. When the historian arrived she summoned some flying craft that were the size of a motorbike but had no wheels.
They were such a common device she did not feel any need to describe how it worked.
I hadn't mentioned that we didn't have that technology on my Earth.
