《[French] Les Pions de l'Equilibres》Chapitre 8 - Esprit bleu

̶̶ Du calme, mon garçon, tout va bien.
Immédiatement, les yeux d'Esh s'emplirent de larmes. La personne devant lui était Nééman, et il était sain et sauf ; même son bras précédemment arraché était réapparu, comme si tout cela n'était qu'un cauchemar.
̶ Nééman ! Tu vas bien ! Mais où sommes-nous ? Que s'est-il passé ? Comment...
̶ Du calme, Esh ! La tribu d'Esprits qui règne sur cette grotte nous a trouvés, et nous a ramenés dans leur village, au bas fond du ravin. Tu venais d'absorber le noyau du lion, et étais aux portes de la mort quand ils t'ont retrouvé. Je me demande à quoi tu pensais, franchement. Comment aurais-je pu regarder ton père dans les yeux s'il t'était arrivé quelque chose ?
̶ Je...
Esh se rappela ce qui s'était passé avant qu'il se réveille ici. Le noyau du lion était entré dans sa main, et avait essayé de prendre possession de son corps. Certains souvenirs de la vie du lion étaient désormais gravés dans sa mémoire, à tel point qu'il avait du mal à séparer les souvenirs de Pisga des siens.
̶ Je suis désolé Nééman, je voulais seulement trouver un moyen de nous protéger..., dit-il en se pinçant les lèvres de remords.
Tout d'un coup, la pression sous laquelle il était depuis qu'ils étaient entrés dans la grotte se relâcha enfin, et des larmes coulèrent de ses yeux.
̶ Allons, allons, je te dois la vie mon garçon. Tu m'as traîné sur des centaines de mètres alors que j'étais inconscient. Tu m'as apporté les premiers secours sans lesquels je me serais vidé de mon sang. Tu as tué la bête qui m'a mis dans cet état, et tu m'as même nourri pendant que j'étais inconscient. Crois-moi, tu peux être fier de toi. Cela m'étonnerait qu'il y ait un autre enfant au village qui possède ne serait-ce que le dixième de ton courage et de ta résolution. Tu as prouvé que tu mérites amplement d'arriver à l'âge responsable ! dit le géant d'un ton encourageant.

Ces paroles réchauffèrent le cœur d'Esh : il avait du mal à se l'avouer, mais l'une des choses qu'il recherchait le plus, c'était l'approbation d'une figure paternelle, et Nééman parvenait à lui apporter cela.
Il allait dire quelque chose, quand le rideau de la tente dans laquelle il se trouvait s'ouvrit. Un être bleu, encore plus grand que Nééman, entra dans la pièce. Il ressemblait vaguement à un humain, mais sa tête, plus allongée, lui donnait l'aspect d'un oiseau de proie.
̶ Sa majesté vous attend, dit-il d'un ton arrogant.
̶ Viens, ne faisons pas attendre un Miktsoane. Souviens-toi, les Esprits ne pensent pas de la même manière que nous. Fais en sorte que tes réponses soient aussi concises que possible, avertit Nééman, d'un ton sérieux.
***
Bien qu'Esh se sentît faible, il parvint à marcher. Ils traversèrent un village à l'air tribal : les habitations y étaient composées de grandes tentes en toile, et des groupes y étaient assis autour du feu. À leur passage, la plupart des Esprits se retournaient pour les toiser avec curiosité, sans dire un mot.
Tout autour du village s'abattaient des cascades qu'il devina être le résultat de toute la glace fondue des niveaux supérieurs. Contrairement au sol pentu des premiers niveaux de la grotte, le sol y était droit, et une lumière jaune, rappelant celle du soleil, réchauffait et éclairait le tout.
Ils finirent par arriver devant une tente bien plus grande que les autres. En y entrant, Esh fut décontenancé d'y trouver, en son centre, une masse bleue qui changeait constamment de forme, passant par exemple d'une souris minuscule à une colline.
Quand Nééman m'avait averti que les Esprits étaient différents de nous, je ne m'attendais pas à ça, se dit Esh, en comprenant que le monde dans lequel il vivait lui réservait encore bien des surprises.

UnFamiliar
Lily Arvensdaughter is a teenager with a lot of problems. The only commoner in an academy normally reserved for royalty and nobility, she's spent six months being tormented by student and staff alike. When despair drives her to make a foolish decision, her life is saved by Rine, a mysterious entity who offers to teach her how to be a powerful wizard, in exchange for signing a familiar contract with the promise of helping him escape from the prison that holds him. Rine quickly proves to be a generous friend and an effective tutor, being as knowledgable as he claims and providing training that rapidly provides incredible results. However, as time passes, it quickly becomes clear that he is far more powerful than she imagined possible, even imprisoned. As his power and influence increase with each step they take towards his liberation, Lily learns that Rine has far greater designs than simply regaining his freedom. Meanwhile, dark and dangerous forces strike from the shadows, attempting to topple the kingdom and imperil everyone that Lily loves. Can Lily afford to trust Rine, especially once she learns what he truly is? Can she afford not to as she becomes the focus of events that could doom thousands, if not millions, of lives without his aid?

8 219Fantasy World Adventures
He spent a long time relaxing. "I actually came to this world through the game" Shenhuo "? Where is this mainland Lasvia? Does this person have the same name as me?" Nishizawa's idea is very surprising. Not long ago, he also challenged the world ’s newest leader, the demon lord, with members of the guild in the "Blaze". Their mastery of human strategy, together with Nize, the first legal god in all activities, eventually grinded foreign monarchs into residual blood. However, the power of aliens exceeds their imagination. When the aliens were about to die, almost everyone got lost in a few seconds. In the end, only Nishizawa survived. At the time, Nishizawa and the alien monarchs were bloody ruins. In fact, Nishizawa still wanted to defeat the alien monarch, but I do n’t know what happened. The world collapsed suddenly, as if the end of the world had come, and then he came here. At first, he thought the system was damaged, but he didn't expect to break into the game world.

8 376How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
