SECRET N ° 206 The Last Guardian chapter 2

Chapitre 2 : La Rencontre

Le jour oĂč tout changea commença comme tant d’autres. Kai, vĂȘtu de son Ă©ternel sweat jaune trop grand, errait dans les ruines silencieuses d’un ancien centre commercial. Les rayons du soleil perçaient difficilement Ă  travers le plafond effondrĂ©, crĂ©ant des jeux d’ombres et de lumiĂšre qui dansaient sur les murs envahis par les plantes grimpantes. Chaque pas de Kai soulevait une fine poussiĂšre, tĂ©moignant du temps qui s’était figĂ© ici, comme si cet endroit refusait d’accepter l’effondrement du monde extĂ©rieur.

Il explorait un ancien supermarchĂ©, ses Ă©tagĂšres dĂ©vastĂ©es Ă  moitiĂ© englouties par la vĂ©gĂ©tation. Ses mains fouillaient mĂ©thodiquement chaque recoin, Ă  la recherche de boĂźtes de conserve ou de piles encore fonctionnelles. Mais ce jour-lĂ , l’air portait une tension qu’il n’avait jamais ressentie auparavant. C’était comme si le centre commercial lui-mĂȘme retenait son souffle.

Soudain, un grondement sourd rĂ©sonna, semblable au roulement lointain d’un tonnerre. Kai se figea, son cƓur battant Ă  tout rompre. Lentement, il se retourna, ses yeux scrutant les ombres mouvantes derriĂšre lui. Ce qu’il vit le laissa sans voix.

Un loup gigantesque se tenait Ă  l’entrĂ©e du supermarchĂ©. Il faisait bien trois mĂštres de haut, sa silhouette imposante dĂ©gageant une puissance effrayante. Sa fourrure noire semblait absorber la lumiĂšre, comme un fragment de nuit incarnĂ©. Mais ce qui hypnotisa Kai, ce furent les yeux de l’animal : deux orbes d’un bleu luminescent, Ă©tincelants d’une intelligence qui surpassait de loin celle d’une simple bĂȘte sauvage.

Kai ne bougea pas, son instinct lui criant que courir serait futile. Une seule foulĂ©e de ce prĂ©dateur suffirait Ă  le rattraper. Pourtant, le loup ne bondit pas. Au contraire, il resta immobile, le fixant avec une intensitĂ© presque humaine. Le temps sembla s’étirer, chaque seconde pesant lourdement sur les Ă©paules de l’enfant.

Puis, contre toute attente, le loup s’assit. L’imposant prĂ©dateur, qui aurait pu le dĂ©vorer en un instant, se contenta de le regarder calmement, presque comme s’il attendait quelque chose. Kai, d’abord paralysĂ© par la peur, sentit un mĂ©lange de curiositĂ© et de prudence monter en lui. Ce n’était pas une rencontre ordinaire.

Prenant une profonde inspiration, il fit un pas en avant, les mains levĂ©es pour montrer qu’il n’était pas une menace. Le loup ne bougea pas, mais ses yeux bleus semblaient sonder l’ñme de l’enfant. Une connexion indescriptible naquit Ă  cet instant, un lien fragile mais puissant.

AprĂšs de longues minutes, Kai murmura doucement :
« Tu ne vas pas me faire de mal, n’est-ce pas ? »

Comme en rĂ©ponse, le loup baissa lĂ©gĂšrement la tĂȘte, un geste presque imperceptible mais suffisant pour dissiper la peur de l’enfant. Kai s’autorisa un sourire nerveux.
« Alors, tu es diffĂ©rent
 Je vais t’appeler Umbra. »

Le loup ne réagit pas au nom, mais une étrange sérénité sembla émaner de lui. DÚs lors, Umbra devint le compagnon inattendu de Kai.

The day everything changed began like so many others. Kai, dressed in his ever-present oversized yellow hoodie, wandered through the silent ruins of an old shopping mall. Sunlight struggled to pierce through the collapsed ceiling, casting patterns of shadows and light that danced on the vine-covered walls. Each step Kai took stirred a fine layer of dust, a testament to how time had frozen here, as if this place refused to acknowledge the collapse of the outside world.

He was exploring an abandoned supermarket, its shelves ravaged and half-consumed by vegetation. His hands methodically searched every nook and cranny, hoping to find canned goods or batteries that still worked. But on this day, the air carried a tension he had never felt before. It was as if the mall itself was holding its breath.

Suddenly, a deep rumble echoed, like distant thunder rolling across the sky. Kai froze, his heart pounding wildly. Slowly, he turned, his eyes scanning the shifting shadows behind him. What he saw left him speechless.

A gigantic wolf stood at the supermarket's entrance. It was easily three meters tall, its imposing silhouette radiating a terrifying power. Its black fur seemed to absorb the light, like a fragment of night given form. But what captivated Kai most were the creature’s eyes: two luminous orbs of electric blue, shimmering with an intelligence far beyond that of any ordinary wild animal.

Kai didn’t move, his instincts screaming that running would be pointless. A single stride from this predator would be enough to catch him. Yet the wolf didn’t lunge. Instead, it remained still, fixing him with an almost human intensity. Time seemed to stretch, each second weighing heavily on the boy’s shoulders.

Then, against all odds, the wolf sat down. The towering predator, capable of tearing him apart in an instant, simply looked at him calmly, almost as if it were waiting for something. Kai, paralyzed by fear at first, felt a blend of curiosity and caution rise within him. This was no ordinary encounter.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward, his hands raised to show he wasn’t a threat. The wolf didn’t move, but its blue eyes seemed to pierce into the very depths of his soul. In that moment, an indescribable connection formed—a fragile but powerful bond.

After what felt like an eternity, Kai whispered softly,
“You’re not going to hurt me, are you?”

As if in response, the wolf dipped its head slightly, a barely perceptible gesture, but enough to dispel the boy’s fear. Kai allowed himself a nervous smile.
“So, you’re different
 I’ll call you Umbra.”

The wolf didn’t react to the name, but an inexplicable sense of calm seemed to radiate from it. From that moment on, Umbra became Kai’s unexpected companion.
