Chapter 13: The Sage of the Jungle and the Old Friend

Image
The journey through the jungle under guard continued in tense silence. The warriors with metallic skin walked firmly around the group, keeping their light spears pointed toward the ground but never lowering their guard. —At least they don't seem cruel, —Sixsevenin whispered very quietly to Willity.— If they wanted to hurt us, they wouldn't have helped us out of the waterfall current. Willity nodded, watching Deri walk close to his legs, his membranes folded and his ears alert to every sound coming from the vegetation. Beside him, Ramsi adjusted the weight of his huge wet backpack, while Jazzi made sure her crystal branch did not shine too brightly and disturb the guards. After following a path surrounded by enormous glowing ferns, the jungle opened up to reveal a remarkable village. The homes were not made of stone or metal like those in the northern domes. Instead, they were oval structures built harmoniously into the trunks of the thickest trees. Dozens of inhabitants of the ...

Chapter 12: The Ramp into the Depths

Image
​The grinding sound of the walls closing in echoed through the pale stones of the hidden chamber. Blocks of rock crashed down from the ceiling, filling the air with thick dust, and every second brought them closer to disaster. Amid the chaos and the deafening noise, Jazzi stepped forward. She looked at the massive stone walls that threatened to crush them and raised her crystal branch. Closing her eyes, instead of shouting, she let a soft, pure, and wonderfully gentle melody flow from her voice. The fuchsia crystal on her branch began to pulse with a slow rhythm. It was a song that spoke directly to the living stone of S7. To everyone's amazement, the walls stopped moving with a sharp metallic click. The vibration did not disappear completely, but the crushing pressure came to a halt. Jazzi did not use her music only to activate ancient mechanisms. She also had the gift of communicating with the living matter and the very structure of the planet. Only a few meters to the right of t...

Chapter 11: The Passages of Oblivion

Image
The echo of the huge stone slab sliding shut above their heads rumbled through the darkness with a deafening roar. The opening of the entrance had taken them completely by surprise, but what they had not expected was for the massive stone to slide back into place, trapping them inside the pyramid. For a few moments, there was complete silence. The intense blue light from outside was no longer there to guide them, but fortunately, the darkness did not last long. —Don't worry! —exclaimed little Yazzi, a spark of excitement shining in her melodic voice. With a quick movement, she raised her crystal branch. Instantly, its tiny leaves began to glow with a bright fuchsia light, bathing the walls of the passage. At the same time, small phosphorescent blue lights flickered to life along the sides of the staircase, as if they had been waiting for their arrival. —The air is clean, and the ground is solid, —said Ramsi, tightening the straps of his large explorer's backpack as he carefully...

Chapter 10: The Meeting at the Top of the Sky

Image
Hidden behind the thick moss-covered stone wall, Willity, Sixsevenin, and little Deri hardly dared to breathe. In front of them, at the top of the great stepped pyramid, the mysterious blue light continued to pierce the night sky of S7, illuminating a group of figures repeating that strange yet familiar greeting: palms facing upward, gently moving up and down to the rhythm of the words "Six Seven." —Should we go up? —whispered Willity, his eyes shining with excitement. Sixsevenin nodded silently, adjusting his orange robe. But before either of them could take a step, Deri let out a soft "Miiiauu!" and dashed upward, gliding over the broken steps with the help of his membranes. There was no turning back. When they reached the upper platform, the blue light surrounded them completely. It did not burn. Instead, it gave off a warm vibration, almost as if it were examining them. The figures turned toward them all at once. To the newcomers' surprise, the group consist...

Chapter 9: The Plain of Echoes

Image
Little by little, the three of them left behind the elevated terraces of the Lost City. The blue light still shone between the mountains, growing a little closer each day. Willity and Sixsevenin resumed their journey the following morning, shortly after breakfast, while the small creature accompanied them, jumping between the rocks and occasionally disappearing into the vegetation, only to reappear in front of them a short time later. They had left the highest part of the mysterious city behind, and before them stretched an immense plain covered with grass, roots, and the remains of ancient buildings, of which only the first foundations still survived. Over the years, vegetation had covered the old ruins so completely that they seemed to be just another part of nature. As they walked, they began to hear something strange. Whenever the wind passed through certain stones scattered across the plain, soft and deep sounds could be heard. They were not voices. Nor did they seem to come from ...
