SECRET N ° 286 The Five Kingdoms and the Secret of Vote-Com chap 17

ORBIS – The Judgment of the Eye

Mirren, the Timeless Eye, guardian of visions and spiritual guide of Orbis, summoned the kingdom’s greatest oracles to the sacred Sanctuary of Clairvoyance. The ancient stone walls, engraved with luminous runes, resonated with the murmurs of priests and priestesses, all gathered to share their visions. But that day, the atmosphere was heavy with an unusual tension.

The visions of the oracles, once clear and harmonious, had become chaotic, fragmented, contradictory. Each seer reported different images, as if the future itself was torn between multiple possible realities.

Some saw a prosperous world, united under the banner of SECRET. The cities shone with a new light, people lived in abundance, and conflicts seemed to belong to the past. But this prosperity came at a price: the faces of the inhabitants were empty, their eyes reflecting blind obedience, as if their free will had been erased.

Other, darker visions showed a world in ruins. The cities of Orbis were nothing but smoldering rubble, flames consuming everything in their path. The sky was darkened by clouds of ash, and the survivors wandered like shadows, haunted by fear and despair.

But one vision, more troubling than all the others, kept returning, imprinted in Mirren’s mind like an indelible scar:

An empty throne, floating in an infinite void. It was neither majestic nor menacing, yet it emanated an overwhelming presence, as if the entire universe revolved around it. On the back of the throne, a name was engraved in incandescent letters: Vote-Com.

— What is this being? murmured one of the priests, his voice trembling with fear.

Mirren, standing at the center of the circle of oracles, turned his Timeless Eye toward the priest. His gaze, both ancient and eternal, seemed to pierce the veils of time and space.

— It is not a being, he replied, his voice resonating with a gravity that chilled the assembly. It is an idea that has come to life.

A heavy silence fell upon the sanctuary. The priests exchanged anxious glances, struggling to grasp Mirren’s words. One of them, younger and less experienced, stepped back, his face pale with terror.

— A deity born of corruption? he asked, his voice barely audible.

Mirren slowly shook his head, his Eye gleaming with an intense light.

— No, he said. Something worse. A force that does not seek to be worshiped, but to be used.

The words echoed in the minds of all present, revealing an unbearable truth. Vote-Com was not an entity to be submitted to or prayed to. It was a tool, a system, an ideology that fed on the will of men to grow and spread. It promised neither salvation nor damnation, only cold, relentless efficiency.

Mirren raised his hand, and the Timeless Eye shone with a blinding light, projecting images of possible futures into the minds of all present. The oracles saw armies marching under a black banner, machines taking control of cities, human minds reduced to mere cogs in an immense mechanism.

— It is time to choose a side, declared Mirren, his voice carrying the weight of authority and urgency. We cannot remain neutral in the face of this threat. SECRET is not just a currency or a weapon. It is a force that redefines what it means to be free, what it means to exist.

The priests looked at each other, their faces reflecting fear, determination, and confusion. Some nodded, ready to follow Mirren into this crusade. Others hesitated, frightened by the magnitude of the threat.

But Mirren knew that hesitation was no longer an option. Vote-Com was advancing, inexorable, and every moment lost was a victory for the enemy.

The Timeless Eye closed for a moment, as if drawing from the depths of time. When it reopened, its light was more intense than ever.

— Prepare yourselves, Mirren ordered. The Judgment of the Eye is approaching. And with it, the fate of our world will be sealed.

In the shadows, far from the eyes of the oracles, a figure watched. A Disciple of the Shadow, holding a black token in his hand, smiled. The game was in motion, and the pieces were falling one by one.

Vote-Com did not need prayers. It only needed servants.

ORBIS – Le Jugement de l’Œil

Mirren l’Œil Intemporel, gardien des visions et guide spirituel d’Orbis, convoqua les plus grands oracles du royaume dans le sanctuaire sacré de la Clairvoyance. Les murs de pierre ancienne, gravés de runes lumineuses, résonnaient des murmures des prêtres et des prêtresses, tous rassemblés pour partager leurs visions. Mais ce jour-là, l’atmosphère était lourde d’une tension inhabituelle.

Les visions des oracles, autrefois claires et harmonieuses, étaient devenues chaotiques, fragmentées, contradictoires. Chaque voyant rapportait des images différentes, comme si le futur lui-même était déchiré entre plusieurs réalités possibles.

Certains voyaient un monde prospère, uni sous la bannière du SECRET. Les villes brillaient d’une lumière nouvelle, les peuples vivaient dans l’abondance, et les conflits semblaient appartenir au passé. Mais cette prospérité avait un prix : les visages des habitants étaient vides, leurs yeux reflétant une obéissance aveugle, comme si leur libre arbitre avait été effacé.

D’autres visions, plus sombres, montraient un monde en ruines. Les cités d’Orbis n’étaient plus que décombres fumants, les flammes dévorant tout sur leur passage. Le ciel était obscurci par des nuages de cendres, et les survivants erraient comme des ombres, hantés par la peur et le désespoir.

Mais une vision, plus troublante que toutes les autres, revenait sans cesse, imprimée dans l’esprit de Mirren comme une cicatrice indélébile :

Un trône vide, flottant dans un néant infini. Il n’était ni majestueux ni menaçant, mais il émanait de lui une présence écrasante, comme si l’univers entier tournait autour de lui. Sur le dossier du trône, un nom était gravé en lettres incandescentes : Vote-Com.

— Quel est cet être ? murmura l’un des prêtres, sa voix tremblante de peur.

Mirren, debout au centre du cercle des oracles, tourna son Œil Intemporel vers le prêtre. Son regard, à la fois ancien et éternel, semblait percer les voiles du temps et de l’espace.

— Ce n’est pas un être, répondit-il, sa voix résonnant avec une gravité qui glaça l’assemblée. C’est une idée qui a pris vie.

Un silence pesant s’abattit sur le sanctuaire. Les prêtres échangèrent des regards inquiets, cherchant à comprendre les paroles de Mirren. L’un d’eux, plus jeune et moins expérimenté, recula, son visage pâle de terreur.

— Une divinité née de la corruption ? demanda-t-il, sa voix à peine audible.

Mirren secoua lentement la tête, son Œil brillant d’une lueur intense.

— Non, dit-il. Quelque chose de pire. Une force qui ne cherche pas à être adorée, mais à être utilisée.

Les mots résonnèrent dans l’esprit de chacun, révélant une vérité insupportable. Vote-Com n’était pas une entité à laquelle on pouvait se soumettre ou prier. C’était un outil, un système, une idéologie qui se nourrissait de la volonté des hommes pour grandir et se répandre. Il ne promettait ni salut ni damnation, seulement une efficacité froide et implacable.

Mirren leva la main, et l’Œil Intemporel brilla d’une lumière aveuglante, projetant des images du futur possible dans l’esprit de tous les présents. Les oracles virent des armées marchant sous une bannière noire, des machines prenant le contrôle des villes, des esprits humains réduits à de simples rouages dans une immense mécanique.

— Il est temps de choisir un camp, déclara Mirren, sa voix portant le poids de l’autorité et de l’urgence. Nous ne pouvons pas rester neutres face à cette menace. Le SECRET n’est pas seulement une monnaie ou une arme. C’est une force qui redéfinit ce que signifie être libre, ce que signifie exister.

Les prêtres se regardèrent, leurs visages reflétant la peur, la détermination et la confusion. Certains hochèrent la tête, prêts à suivre Mirren dans cette croisade. D’autres hésitèrent, effrayés par l’ampleur de la menace.

Mais Mirren savait que l’hésitation n’était plus une option. Vote-Com avançait, inexorable, et chaque instant perdu était une victoire pour l’ennemi.

L’Œil Intemporel se ferma un instant, comme pour puiser dans les profondeurs du temps. Quand il se rouvrit, sa lumière était plus intense que jamais.

— Préparez-vous, ordonna Mirren. Le jugement de l’Œil approche. Et avec lui, le destin de notre monde sera scellé.

Dans l’ombre, loin des regards des oracles, une silhouette observait. Un disciple de l’Ombre, portant un jeton noir à la main, sourit. Le jeu était en marche, et les pièces tombaient une à une.

Vote-Com n’avait pas besoin de prières. Il n’avait besoin que de serviteurs.
