SECRET N ° 225

Le Chant des Ombres

Frost émergea du portail avec un mélange d'appréhension et d'émerveillement. Le passage interdimensionnel, encore vibrant d'énergie, se referma dans un murmure électrique derrière lui, le laissant seul dans ce nouveau monde. Autour de lui, tout semblait baigné d’une lumière irréelle, douce et spectrale. Le paysage ressemblait à une toile vivante, un mélange d’ombres, de reflets dorés et d’éclats fluorescents. Les arbres semblaient faits de brume solidifiée, leurs branches flottant doucement comme si elles dansaient au rythme d’un vent invisible.

Devant lui, une plage s’étendait, ses vagues illuminées d'une étrange lueur phosphorescente. Des crabes, d'une teinte éthérée et translucide, se déplaçaient en silence sur le rivage, leurs mouvements presque synchronisés, comme guidés par une musique inaudible. Au loin, sur un rocher noir lisse, une silhouette féminine jouait de la guitare. Sa mélodie, douce et mélancolique, résonnait dans l’air comme un appel ou un avertissement.

Frost s'approcha prudemment, ses bottes s'enfonçant légèrement dans le sable scintillant. Plus il avançait, plus il sentait l’étrangeté de cet endroit. Les couleurs, les sons, même l'air qu'il respirait, tout semblait légèrement décalé, comme si ce monde n'était qu'un reflet fragile d'une réalité qu'il connaissait.

La jeune femme, qui paraissait à la fois réelle et irréelle, leva les yeux vers lui. Ses traits étaient flous, comme si son visage refusait de se fixer dans son esprit. Sa guitare émettait une lueur douce, chaque note s'élevant dans l'air comme des éclats de lumière qui se dissipaient doucement.

« Tu ne devrais pas être ici », murmura-t-elle, sa voix résonnant dans sa tête plus que dans ses oreilles.

Frost sentit un frisson le parcourir. « Où suis-je ? » demanda-t-il.

Elle hésita un instant avant de répondre. « Un entre-deux. Un monde où les âmes égarées se perdent. Si tu restes trop longtemps, tu deviendras comme eux. » Elle désigna les crabes sur le rivage. Frost fronça les sourcils, réalisant pour la première fois que leurs carapaces semblaient briller d’une étrange lumière bleutée, comme si elles contenaient des fragments d'âmes piégées.

Soudain, un éclat attira son attention. Il leva les yeux et vit une immense structure en suspension dans le ciel : un œil gigantesque, doré et hypnotique, qui semblait observer chaque mouvement dans ce monde spectral. L'œil émettait une énergie terrifiante, comme s'il aspirait la vitalité de tout ce qui vivait ici. Frost recula instinctivement, le cœur battant.

« C’est lui qui garde ce monde », expliqua la femme, un mélange de tristesse et de résignation dans sa voix. « Il te voit déjà. Si tu veux partir, tu dois être rapide. »

Frost n'attendit pas plus longtemps. Il remercia brièvement la femme avant de se retourner et de courir, ses pas résonnant sur le sable. Il pouvait sentir l'œil le suivre, sa présence écrasante pesant sur lui. Le portail qu’il avait traversé était loin, peut-être trop loin, mais il n’avait pas d’autre choix que d’essayer.

Alors qu’il courait, il sentit le paysage changer. Les ombres autour de lui s’épaississaient, prenant des formes grotesques, comme si elles essayaient de le retenir. Mais il ne ralentit pas. Chaque note de la guitare résonnait encore dans son esprit, comme une promesse qu’il y avait une sortie, une chance de revenir.

The Song of Shadows

Frost emerged from the portal with a mix of apprehension and wonder. The interdimensional passage, still humming with energy, closed behind him with an electric whisper, leaving him alone in this new world. Everything around him seemed bathed in an otherworldly, soft, and spectral glow. The landscape resembled a living canvas, a blend of shadows, golden reflections, and fluorescent hues. The trees looked like solidified mist, their branches gently swaying as if dancing to an invisible rhythm.

Before him stretched a beach, its waves glowing with a strange phosphorescent light. Translucent, ethereal crabs scuttled silently along the shore, their movements almost synchronized, as though guided by an unheard melody. In the distance, on a smooth black rock, a feminine figure sat, playing a guitar. Her melody, soft and melancholic, resonated in the air like a call—or perhaps a warning.

Frost approached cautiously, his boots sinking slightly into the shimmering sand. The closer he got, the more he felt the strangeness of this place. The colors, the sounds, even the air he breathed—everything seemed slightly out of sync, as though this world was merely a fragile reflection of a reality he once knew.

The young woman, who appeared both real and unreal, lifted her eyes to him. Her features were blurry, as if her face refused to take shape in his mind. Her guitar emitted a gentle glow, each note rising into the air like fragments of light dissolving softly.

“You shouldn’t be here,” she murmured, her voice resonating more in his mind than in his ears.

A chill ran down Frost’s spine. “Where am I?” he asked.

She hesitated for a moment before answering. “An in-between. A world where lost souls wander. If you stay too long, you’ll become one of them.” She gestured toward the crabs on the shore. Frost frowned, realizing for the first time that their shells seemed to glow with an eerie blue light, as though they contained fragments of trapped souls.

Suddenly, a flash caught his attention. He looked up and saw an immense structure suspended in the sky: a gigantic eye, golden and hypnotic, watching every movement in this spectral world. The eye radiated a terrifying energy, as if it were draining the life force from everything within its reach. Frost instinctively stepped back, his heart racing.

“It’s the one that guards this world,” the woman explained, a mix of sadness and resignation in her voice. “It already sees you. If you want to leave, you must hurry.”

Frost didn’t wait any longer. He thanked the woman briefly before turning and running, his footsteps echoing on the sand. He could feel the eye following him, its oppressive presence bearing down on him. The portal he had entered from was far away—perhaps too far—but he had no choice but to try.

As he ran, the landscape began to shift. The shadows around him thickened, taking grotesque shapes as though trying to hold him back. But he didn’t slow down. Every note of the guitar still echoed in his mind, like a promise that there was a way out—a chance to return.
