《La Loi du Mystère [French]》Chapitre 8.5 - Le refuge
Advertisement
March jeta une dernière poignée de terre sur la tombe fraichement creusée puis il planta la pelle dans le sol.
— Repose en paix, dit-il calmement.
Saira le regardait, assise contre le tronc d’un pommier. Il avait insisté pour donner une sépulture à l’assassin. Il n’avait pas expliqué pourquoi cela était si important, mais Saira y vit une façon d’enterrer son propre passé.
Les femmes du refuge n’avaient pas besoin de tombe. Elles étaient déjà enterrées sous les décombres de la Tige d’or.
Saira savait que c’était sa faute. Elle n’aurait jamais dû revenir ici.
March s’approcha, il prit sa main dans la sienne et lui dit :
— Saira, ce qui est arrivé ici n’est pas ta faute.
C’était comme s’il savait, comme s’il pouvait voir les tourments qui l’habitaient. Elle serra sa main d’autant plus fort.
— L’homme qui nous a attaqués était contrôlé par le maitre, comme je l’ai été.
March lui avait parlé de ses rêves, des visions du passé qu’il avait eu en compagnie de la mère. Des sordides entrainements auquel il avait été sujet.
— Tu te souviens de qui il est?
— Pas avec certitude, mais l’assassin a confirmé un de mes soupçons. Il a dit que le maitre faisait partie du Mysterium et je ne vois qu’une personne qui a été avantagée par la mort du roi.
— Le Haut-Mysteriarch.
Saira soupira, elle savait ce que March s’apprêtait à dire. Et elle ne lui en voulait même pas. Il hésita, détournant le regard du sien, alors elle lui épargna le supplice.
— Tu dois le trouver, n’est-ce pas ?
— Oui, nous n’aurons pas de répit tant qu’il sera en vie… Je dois retourner à Caetobria.
Elle lui caressa la joue et il plongea son regard dans le sien. Ses yeux gris avaient cette lueur qu’elle aurait aimé ne pas y trouver.

— Le sang a assez coulé March. Ton âme ne résistera pas à plus de violence.
Il ferma les yeux et une larme se forma dans le coin de son œil droit. Il le savait lui-même, il était au bord du gouffre, au bord de succomber de nouveau à la folie destructrice qui avait décimé le gang des Serpents Bruns.
— Promets-le-moi, March. Promets-moi que tu ne tueras plus. Tu trouveras un autre moyen.
— Mais…
— Promets-le.
Un instant de silence passa entre eux.
— Je te le promets, Saira. Je ne tuerais plus.
Elle lui sourit puis l’embrassa. C’était un long baiser, car elle savait que ce serait le dernier avant longtemps. Peut-être l’ultime toucher de leurs lèvres… Elle ne voulait pas penser au pire, sa vie avait trouvé un équilibre avec March et elle n’imaginait pas le perdre.
— Promets-moi aussi que peu importe ce qu’il se passe à Caetobria, tu me retrouveras.
Cette fois, il n’hésita pas.
— Je le promets aussi. Est-ce que tu as un endroit où tu seras en sécurité ?
— Oui. Lorsque tu auras quitté Caetobria, rejoint le cap du Soir, à Réginia. Là-bas, tu trouveras un pêcheur du nom d’Usbreck, il pourra te guider à une île se trouvant au sud-ouest du cap.
— Qu’est-ce qu’il y a sur cette île ?
— Les plus merveilleuses fleurs que je connaisse, dit-elle en souriant. J’ai l’habitude de m’y approvisionner régulièrement, je ne crains rien là-bas.
— Et ta jambe, comment va-t-elle ? demanda-t-il en inspectant sa peau brulée.
Après être sortie des flammes, elle avait demandé à March de lui cueillir des plantes médicinales qu’elle avait rapidement appliquées sur la plaie.
— C’est superficiel, l’onguent fait déjà effet. Ne t’inquiète pas pour moi, je sais me débrouiller, dit-elle avec un sourire en coin.
Il acquiesça et se leva.
— Bien, je t’accompagnerai jusqu’à la frontière de Reginia, ensuite je remonterai au nord vers Algrava.
— Comment comptes-tu t’y prendre ? Le Haut Mysteriarch est entouré de ses Exécuteurs à longueur de temps !
March sourit.
— Je connais quelqu’un qui peut m’aider.
Il l’aida à se relever puis ils reprirent la route, laissant les ruines de la Tige d’or derrière eux.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
