SECRET N ° 253 The Strange Merchant chapter 3

Chapter 3: The Kingdom of Secrets

Lucien plunged into the tunnel, the dampness clinging to his skin and the echo of his footsteps reverberating against the rocky walls. Darkness enveloped him, barely disturbed by the distant glows emanating from the passage ahead. His heart pounded wildly. The further he advanced, the more the air seemed charged with a strange energy, as if the ground itself vibrated with an ancient secret.

After what felt like an eternity, the tunnel suddenly opened into a vast cavern illuminated by an otherworldly light. Lucien froze, dazzled by the splendor of the sight before him. The walls of the underground kingdom shimmered with a thousand colors, encrusted with gems that reflected an unnatural glow. The floor, paved with polished gold, gleamed under the soft light of floating lanterns, suspended in the air by an invisible magic.

Lucien pressed himself against a carved column, his eyes scanning the bustling streets of this hidden city. The inhabitants, slender and graceful, moved with an almost unreal elegance. Their clothes, woven with threads of gold and silver, glowed softly under the mystical light. They seemed both serene and imbued with a millennial wisdom. He also noticed that each of them wore a medallion around their neck engraved with the same word as on Gaspard's coins: SECRET.

At the center of the city, towering over the entire landscape, stood a majestic palace, carved from black marble streaked with golden veins. A massive banner floated above its soaring towers, displaying in shimmering golden letters:

"The Kingdom of Secrets."

Lucien felt a shiver run down his spine. He now knew he had discovered something extraordinary... but also terribly dangerous.

Chapitre 3 : Le Royaume des Secrets

Lucien s’engouffra dans le tunnel, l’humidité collant à sa peau et l’écho de ses pas résonnant contre les parois rocheuses. L’obscurité l’enveloppait, à peine troublée par les lueurs lointaines émanant du passage devant lui. Son cœur battait à tout rompre. Plus il avançait, plus l’air semblait chargé d’une énergie étrange, comme si le sol lui-même vibrait d’un secret ancien.

Après ce qui lui parut une éternité, le tunnel déboucha soudain sur une vaste caverne illuminée d’une lumière irréelle. Lucien resta figé, ébloui par la splendeur du spectacle qui s’offrait à lui. Les murs du royaume souterrain scintillaient de mille couleurs, incrustés de gemmes aux reflets surnaturels. Le sol, pavé d’or poli, miroitait sous la douce lumière de lanternes flottantes, suspendues dans les airs par une magie invisible.

Lucien se plaqua contre une colonne sculptée, ses yeux scrutant les ruelles animées de cette cité cachée. Les habitants, élancés et gracieux, se déplaçaient avec une élégance presque irréelle. Leurs vêtements, tissés de fils d’or et d’argent, brillaient doucement sous la lumière mystique. Ils semblaient à la fois sereins et empreints d’une sagesse millénaire. Il remarqua aussi que chacun portait autour du cou une médaille gravée du même mot que sur les pièces de Gaspard : SECRET.

Au centre de la cité, dominant tout le paysage, un palais majestueux s’élevait, taillé dans un marbre noir constellé de veines dorées. Une immense bannière flottait au-dessus de ses tours élancées, affichant en lettres d’or scintillantes :

"Le Royaume des Secrets."

Lucien sentit un frisson lui parcourir l’échine. Il savait désormais qu’il avait découvert quelque chose d’extraordinaire… mais aussi de terriblement dangereux.
