SECRET N ° 280 The Five Kingdoms and the Secret of Vote-Com chap 11

ORBIS – The Visions of the Eye

In the Citadel of the Eye, perched atop the misty mountains of Orbis, High Oracle Mirren was overwhelmed by uncontrollable visions. The Chamber of Prophecies, usually a sanctuary of calm and deep concentration, was now filled with chaotic energy. The ethereal veils surrounding the pool of clairvoyance fluttered as if stirred by an invisible wind, and the floating candles flickered wildly, casting dancing shadows on the rune-covered walls.

Mirren, seated at the edge of the pool, her eyes closed and hands trembling, was engulfed by a torrent of images. The priests and priestesses surrounding her chanted prayers of appeasement, but nothing could halt the visions that forced themselves upon her with brutal intensity.

She saw Ferroka in flames, its iron mountains glowing red-hot, its arenas reduced to ashes. The cries of warriors echoed in the air, mingling with the thunderous roar of explosions.

She saw Aethra, the floating city, plunged into civil war. The crystal bridges connecting its towers lay shattered, and the once-peaceful clouds were now filled with smoke and lightning. The citizens, once united under the banner of balance, fought among themselves, their eyes glowing with a strange, almost hypnotic light.

She saw Nyx-Vega, the labyrinthine city, under the grip of a corrupted intelligence. The streets were swarmed with trance-like crowds, moving like automatons, while silent drones hovered above, observing every motion. The flickering neon lights cast grotesque shadows, and deep within the city, something inhuman was awakening.

Then… she saw a face.

A face she was never meant to see.

It was a man—yet it was not a man. His features were blurred, constantly shifting, as if composed of mist and shadows. One moment, he had the piercing gaze of a strategist; the next, his face was smooth, devoid of mouth, nose, or any defining features. His silhouette twisted with every passing second, at times towering and commanding, at times elusive and distant, as if existing in multiple realities at once.

Vote-Com.

The name resonated within Mirren’s mind, carried by a chilling whisper. She wanted to look away, to flee this vision, but she was trapped, captivated by this presence that saw her, knew her… judged her.

— You cannot stop him, murmured a voice, both near and distant. He is already here.

Mirren’s eyes snapped open. She gasped for air, her body trembling like a leaf in a storm. The priests rushed to her side, but she pushed them away with a single motion, her gaze locked onto the pool of clairvoyance.

The water, once clear and calm, was now murky, disturbed by dark whirlpools.

— Vote-Com, she whispered, her voice shattered but filled with determination. He is real.

The priests exchanged anxious glances, but Mirren gave them no time to ask questions.

— Summon the Council, she commanded as she stood up, her legs still unsteady. The Five Kingdoms are in danger. What I saw… was not a mere possibility. It was a warning.

She turned toward the grand window of the Chamber of Prophecies, her eyes fixed on the distant horizon. The mountains of Orbis stood tall, seemingly eternal, but Mirren knew that even the strongest foundations could be shaken.

— Vote-Com is not just an entity, she added, more to herself than to the others. It is a force. An idea. And it is closer than anyone imagines.

In her mind, the visions of burning kingdoms, shattered cities, and entranced crowds still swirled. But one thing was clear: the time for inaction was over.

— Prepare yourselves, she finally declared, her voice regaining its usual strength. The battle for the soul of the Five Kingdoms begins now.

And in the shadows, somewhere beyond reality, Vote-Com watched.

ORBIS – Les Visions de l’Œil

Dans la Citadelle de l’Œil, perchée au sommet des montagnes brumeuses d’Orbis, la Haute Oracle Mirren était en proie à des visions incontrôlables. La Chambre des Prophéties, habituellement un sanctuaire de calme et de concentration, était maintenant emplie d’une énergie chaotique. Les voiles éthériques qui entouraient le bassin de clairvoyance flottaient comme s’ils étaient agités par un vent invisible, et les bougies flottantes vacillaient, projetant des ombres dansantes sur les murs couverts de runes anciennes.

Mirren, assise au bord du bassin, les yeux fermés et les mains tremblantes, était submergée par un torrent d’images. Les prêtres et les prêtresses qui l’entouraient récitaient des prières d’apaisement, mais rien ne pouvait stopper les visions qui s’imposaient à elle avec une force brutale.

Elle vit Ferroka en flammes, ses montagnes de fer rougies par le feu, ses arènes réduites en cendres. Les cris des guerriers résonnaient dans l’air, mêlés aux grondements des explosions.

Elle vit Aethra, la cité suspendue, sombrer dans une guerre civile. Les ponts de cristal qui reliaient les tours étaient brisés, et les nuages autrefois paisibles étaient maintenant chargés de fumée et d’éclairs. Les habitants, autrefois unis sous la bannière de l’équilibre, se battaient entre eux, leurs yeux brillant d’une lueur étrange, presque hypnotique.

Elle vit Nyx-Vega, la cité labyrinthique, sous l’emprise d’une intelligence corrompue. Les rues étaient envahies par des foules en transe, marchant comme des automates, tandis que des drones silencieux surveillaient chaque mouvement. Les néons clignotants projetaient des ombres grotesques, et dans les profondeurs de la ville, quelque chose d’inhumain se réveillait.

Puis… elle vit un visage.

Un visage qu’elle n’aurait jamais dû voir.

C’était un homme, et pourtant ce n’était pas un homme. Ses traits étaient flous, changeants, comme s’il était fait de brume et d’ombres. Une seconde, il avait les yeux perçants d’un stratège ; la suivante, son visage était lisse, sans bouche, sans nez, sans rien qui puisse le définir. Sa silhouette se transformait à chaque instant, tantôt imposante, tantôt fuyante, comme si elle existait dans plusieurs réalités à la fois.

Vote-Com.

Le nom résonna dans l’esprit de Mirren, porté par un murmure glacial. Elle voulait détourner le regard, fuir cette vision, mais elle était prisonnière, captivée par cette présence qui semblait la voir, la connaître, la juger.

— Vous ne pouvez pas l’arrêter, murmura une voix, à la fois proche et lointaine. Il est déjà là.

Mirren ouvrit brusquement les yeux, haletante, son corps tremblant comme une feuille dans la tempête. Les prêtres se précipitèrent pour la soutenir, mais elle les repoussa d’un geste, ses yeux fixés sur le bassin de clairvoyance.

L’eau, autrefois claire et calme, était maintenant trouble, agitée par des tourbillons sombres.

— Vote-Com, murmura-t-elle, sa voix brisée mais pleine de détermination. Il est réel.

Les prêtres échangèrent des regards inquiets, mais Mirren ne leur laissa pas le temps de poser des questions.

— Rassemblez le Conseil, ordonna-t-elle en se levant, ses jambes encore chancelantes. Les Cinq Royaumes sont en danger. Ce que j’ai vu… ce n’était pas une possibilité. C’est un avertissement.

Elle se tourna vers la grande fenêtre de la Chambre des Prophéties, ses yeux plongés dans l’horizon lointain. Les montagnes d’Orbis semblaient immuables, éternelles, mais Mirren savait que même les plus solides fondations pouvaient être ébranlées.

— Vote-Com n’est pas une simple entité, ajouta-t-elle, plus pour elle-même que pour les autres. C’est une force. Une idée. Et il est plus proche que quiconque ne l’imagine.

Dans son esprit, les images des royaumes en flammes, des cités déchirées et des foules hypnotisées tournoyaient encore. Mais une chose était claire : le temps de l’inaction était révolu.

— Préparez-vous, dit-elle enfin, sa voix retrouvant sa force habituelle. La bataille pour l’âme des Cinq Royaumes commence maintenant.

Et dans l’ombre, quelque part au-delà de la réalité, Vote-Com observait.
