Elias franchit le seuil de l’obscurité, ses pas résonnant dans un silence oppressant. Le passage semblait s’étirer à l’infini, chaque mur étant tapissé de symboles luminescents qui pulsaient faiblement. L'air était lourd, chargé d'une tension qu'il ne pouvait ignorer. Son esprit oscillait entre la peur et une curiosité irrépressible.
Soudain, le couloir s’élargit, débouchant sur une salle circulaire. Contrairement à la majesté du Nexus, cette pièce était austère, faite de métal noir mat, et éclairée uniquement par des panneaux holographiques suspendus dans les airs. Chaque écran projetait des données complexes, des graphiques et des images en mouvement.
Au centre de la pièce, une table d’apparence sobre mais étrangement intimidante. Autour d’elle, des sièges vides, tous alignés comme si un conseil secret venait de se dissoudre. Une voix douce mais autoritaire brisa le silence, émanant d’aucune direction précise :
"Bienvenue au Conseil des Gardiens, Elias."
Il tourna la tête frénétiquement, cherchant l’origine de la voix.
— Montrez-vous ! ordonna-t-il, le ton plus courageux qu’il ne se sentait réellement.
Une silhouette émergea lentement d’une ombre projetée par un écran. Contrairement aux drones et aux hologrammes qu’il avait vus jusqu’ici, cette figure était humaine, ou du moins en donnait l’apparence. Elle portait un masque argenté, sans expression, orné de gravures complexes qui rappelaient les symboles des anneaux du Nexus.
"Je suis le Conservateur," déclara-t-il. "Le gardien de cette vérité que vous semblez tant désirer. Vous êtes allé plus loin que quiconque. Pourquoi ? Que cherchez-vous vraiment ?"
Elias fixa le Conservateur, rassemblant son courage.
— Je cherche ce que vous refusez de révéler : pourquoi ce monde parfait existe et à quel prix. Pourquoi Gaia dissimule-t-elle l’existence des Gardiens ? Pourquoi tout semble conçu pour empêcher quiconque de poser des questions ?
Le Conservateur resta immobile un moment, comme pour mesurer ses paroles.
"Vous pensez que la vérité est un droit," répondit-il lentement, "mais elle est une arme. Une fois révélée, elle ne peut pas être reprise. Vous êtes prêt à la porter, Elias ? À en subir les conséquences ?"
— Oui, dit-il fermement. Peu importe le prix.

Chapter 4
Elias crossed the threshold of darkness, his footsteps echoing in an oppressive silence. The passage seemed to stretch infinitely, each wall lined with luminescent symbols that faintly pulsed. The air was heavy, laden with a tension he couldn't ignore. His mind oscillated between fear and an irrepressible curiosity.
Suddenly, the corridor widened, opening into a circular room. Unlike the majesty of the Nexus, this room was austere, made of matte black metal, and illuminated solely by holographic panels suspended in the air. Each screen projected complex data, graphs, and moving images.
In the center of the room stood a table, unassuming yet strangely intimidating. Surrounding it were empty seats, all aligned as if a secret council had just dissolved. A soft yet authoritative voice broke the silence, emanating from no specific direction: "Welcome to the Council of Guardians, Elias."
He frantically turned his head, searching for the source of the voice. “Show yourself!” he ordered, his tone braver than he actually felt.
A silhouette slowly emerged from a shadow cast by a screen. Unlike the drones and holograms he had seen so far, this figure was human, or at least appeared to be. It wore a silver mask, expressionless, adorned with intricate engravings reminiscent of the Nexus rings’ symbols.
"I am the Curator," it declared. "The guardian of this truth you seem to so desperately seek. You have come farther than anyone else. Why? What are you truly searching for?"
Elias fixed his gaze on the Curator, gathering his courage. “I seek what you refuse to reveal: why this perfect world exists and at what cost. Why does Gaia hide the existence of the Guardians? Why does everything seem designed to prevent anyone from asking questions?”
The Curator remained motionless for a moment, as if measuring his words. "You believe that truth is a right," he replied slowly, "but it is a weapon. Once revealed, it cannot be taken back. Are you ready to bear it, Elias? To face the consequences?"
“Yes,” he said firmly. “No matter the price.”
