SECRET N ° 227 winged wars

Chapitre 1 : La cité aux mille ailes

Dans l'immensité de la mégapole, un réseau sans fin de tours de verre et d'acier s'élevait vers le ciel, projetant leurs ombres labyrinthiques sur les rues grouillantes en contrebas. Les humains, plongés dans leur quotidien effréné, étaient absorbés par le vacarme incessant des moteurs, les écrans scintillants et les pas précipités. Mais dans les hauteurs, là où les regards ne s'attardaient jamais, régnait un autre univers.

Les corniches, les gouttières, et les rebords d'immeubles formaient les arènes d'une société secrète, bien plus ancienne que les gratte-ciel eux-mêmes : celle des pigeons. Ces créatures, que les citadins dédaignaient souvent comme de simples nuisances, étaient en réalité les protagonistes d'une lutte incessante pour la survie et la domination. Organisés en clans, ils se disputaient les meilleurs perchoirs, les ressources les plus riches et les points stratégiques offrant à la fois sécurité et abondance.

Parmi eux, deux grandes factions dominaient la scène : le Clan des Plumes d’Argent et les redoutables Serres Noires. Les premiers étaient célèbres pour leur discipline et leur capacité à se mouvoir silencieusement dans les zones les plus dangereuses. Les seconds, en revanche, étaient connus pour leur brutalité et leur ruse, prêts à tout pour étendre leur territoire. Entre ces deux puissances, une guerre de territoire féroce faisait rage, souvent invisible aux yeux des humains, mais terriblement palpable pour ceux qui prenaient le temps de regarder.

Et parmi ces observateurs, il y avait Edmond Craven. Ancien professeur d'histoire à la retraite, Edmond était un homme discret. Avec ses lunettes épaisses et ses cheveux clairsemés, il passait inaperçu parmi la foule. Mais derrière cet air anodin se cachait une obsession : les pigeons. Depuis qu'il avait accroché son manteau de professeur, il avait découvert une nouvelle passion, une sorte de mission secrète qu'il s'était donnée. Armé de jumelles, d'un carnet à spirale et d'une patience infinie, Edmond passait des journées entières à observer ces oiseaux qu'il considérait comme des être à part entière.

Son appartement, situé au quatorzième étage d'un immeuble vieillissant, était devenu un véritable poste d'observation. Les murs étaient recouverts de cartes de la ville où des zones étaient marquées en rouge, bleu et vert, chacune correspondant aux territoires des différents clans. Des piles de carnets remplis de notes s'entassaient sur son bureau, chaque page décrivant des comportements, des affrontements, et des événements qu'il étudiait comme un anthropologue scruterait une tribu isolée.

Un matin d’automne, alors que le soleil peinait à percer un voile de brume, Edmond s'installa à sa fenêtre favorite avec une tasse de thé fumant. À cette heure matinale, la Place Centrale était encore calme, mais Edmond savait que cette apparente tranquillé ne durerait pas. La Place Centrale était le joyau de la cité des pigeons, une zone riche en miettes abandonnées par les cafés environnants, et donc un enjeu majeur dans la lutte des clans.

Ce jour-là, il fut témoin d'une étrange activité. Un groupe de pigeons des Plumes d'Argent, reconnaissables à leurs plumes légèrement irisées, se réunissait sur une corniche proche. Ils étaient dirigés par Éléria, une femelle imposante connue pour son intelligence et son calme. Edmond la reconnaissait facilement : il l’avait observée mener plusieurs opérations complexes, incluant des raids stratégiques sur des territoires ennemis. Mais cette fois, quelque chose semblait différent. Éléria émettait des coo-coos rythmés, et les autres pigeons semblaient répondre en cadence. C'était comme un langage codé. Edmond se pencha en avant, fasciné.

De l'autre côté de la place, perchés sur un panneau publicitaire, les Serres Noires observaient. Leur chef, Krogar, était un mâle au plumage noir dépourvu de reflets, comme si la lumière elle-même refusait de s’attarder sur lui. Avec ses yeux perçants et sa posture altière, il inspirait la crainte, même chez les siens. Ce matin-là, Krogar semblait attendre quelque chose. Edmond, bien qu’à des centaines de mètres de distance, pouvait presque ressentir la tension dans l’air.

La confrontation était imminente.

Soudain, un éclaireur des Plumes d’Argent revint à tire-d’aile, se posant près d’Éléria. Edmond nota la rapidité avec laquelle les événements s’enchaînaient : l’éclaireur livra son message, Éléria hocha la tête, et en moins d’une minute, le groupe s’éleva en un vol coordonné, se dirigeant vers un point stratégique de la place. Les Serres Noires ne tardèrent pas à réagir, mais Edmond remarqua qu’ils semblaient moins organisés. Cela fit sourire le vieil homme : il savait que la discipline des Plumes d’Argent était leur plus grande force.

Alors qu’il prenait des notes frénétiquement, Edmond se dit qu’il était peut-être le seul humain à comprendre la portée de ce qui se jouait au-dessus de la ville. Cette pensée, loin de l’effrayer, le remplissait d’une joie tranquille. Les pigeons étaient devenus son monde, son mystère à élucider, et il était bien décidé à en percer les secrets, même si personne d’autre ne partageait sa fascination.

Ce jour-là n’était que le début d’une série d’événements qui allaient changer à jamais la hiérarchie de la cité ailée. Et Edmond, avec ses jumelles et son carnet, en serait le témoin silencieux.

Chapter 1: The City of a Thousand Wings

In the vastness of the megacity, an endless network of glass and steel towers rose toward the sky, casting labyrinthine shadows over the bustling streets below. Humans, immersed in their frenzied daily lives, were absorbed by the relentless noise of engines, the flickering of screens, and hurried footsteps. Yet above, where no eyes lingered, another world reigned.

The ledges, gutters, and building edges formed the arenas of a secret society far older than the skyscrapers themselves: the pigeons. These creatures, often dismissed by city dwellers as mere nuisances, were in fact the protagonists of an unending struggle for survival and domination. Organized into clans, they vied for the best roosts, the richest resources, and strategic points offering both safety and abundance.

Among them, two great factions dominated the scene: the Silver Feathers Clan and the formidable Black Talons. The former were renowned for their discipline and ability to move silently through the most dangerous zones. The latter, on the other hand, were known for their brutality and cunning, willing to do whatever it took to expand their territory. Between these two powers, a fierce territorial war raged, often invisible to human eyes but all too real to those who took the time to observe.

Among these observers was Edmond Craven. A retired history professor, Edmond was a discreet man. With his thick glasses and thinning hair, he blended into the crowd. But behind his unassuming appearance lay an obsession: pigeons. Since hanging up his teaching coat, he had discovered a new passion, a sort of secret mission he had given himself. Armed with binoculars, a spiral notebook, and infinite patience, Edmond spent entire days observing these birds he considered to be beings in their own right.

His apartment, on the fourteenth floor of an aging building, had become a true observation post. The walls were covered with city maps marked in red, blue, and green zones, each corresponding to the territories of various clans. Stacks of notebooks filled with notes cluttered his desk, each page describing behaviors, confrontations, and events he studied like an anthropologist examining an isolated tribe.

One autumn morning, as the sun struggled to pierce through a veil of mist, Edmond settled into his favorite window seat with a steaming cup of tea. At this early hour, Central Square was still calm, but Edmond knew this apparent tranquility would not last. Central Square was the jewel of the pigeons’ city, a zone rich with crumbs left behind by the surrounding cafés, making it a major stake in the clans' struggle.

That day, he witnessed unusual activity. A group of Silver Feathers, recognizable by their slightly iridescent plumage, was gathering on a nearby ledge. They were led by Éléria, an imposing female known for her intelligence and composure. Edmond recognized her easily; he had observed her leading several complex operations, including strategic raids on enemy territories. But this time, something felt different. Éléria emitted rhythmic cooing sounds, and the other pigeons responded in cadence. It was like a coded language. Edmond leaned forward, fascinated.

On the other side of the square, perched on a billboard, the Black Talons watched. Their leader, Krogar, was a male with pitch-black feathers devoid of any sheen, as if light itself refused to linger on him. With his piercing eyes and commanding posture, he inspired fear even among his own. That morning, Krogar seemed to be waiting for something. Edmond, though hundreds of meters away, could almost feel the tension in the air.

A confrontation was imminent.

Suddenly, a Silver Feathers scout returned in a swift flight, landing near Éléria. Edmond noted how quickly events unfolded: the scout delivered its message, Éléria nodded, and within a minute, the group took off in a coordinated flight, heading toward a strategic point in the square. The Black Talons were quick to react, but Edmond noticed they seemed less organized. This made the old man smile; he knew the Silver Feathers’ discipline was their greatest strength.

As he frantically took notes, Edmond reflected that he might be the only human who understood the gravity of what was unfolding above the city. Far from frightening him, this thought filled him with quiet joy. The pigeons had become his world, his mystery to unravel, and he was determined to uncover their secrets, even if no one else shared his fascination.

That day was only the beginning of a series of events that would forever alter the hierarchy of the winged city. And Edmond, with his binoculars and notebook, would be its silent witness.
