Chronique n°60
Bonjour à tous !
Voici la 60ème chronique, déjà ^_^
Un immense merci à Kevin du blog Les lectures de Kevin qui a aussi partagé son avis sur Babelio.com, Goodreads et Nouslisons.fr, c'est vrai que pour les auteurs c'est une étape très importante également :)
Une chronique plus tournée vers l'analyse et sans spoilers !
“C’est également intéressant de se plonger en arrière pour analyser la situation de l’époque, voir comment elle évoluait et non ce qu’elle est devenue. Cela permet au lecteur d’acquérir une certaine omniscience ou une mémoire populaire.”

Petit extrait :
“L’histoire est assez mouvementé, on y trouve action, retournement de situation et ce que j’ai préféré : les flashbacks sur ce qu’il s’est passé douze ans auparavant.”
Passez une agréable journée :)

English version
Hi,
Here is the first English excerpt of my book.
I have posted it on Wattpad and I was told it was quite readable, not too much translation mistakes ☺
SYNOPSIS
Cyr, an erudite, and his adopted son, Kaaz, have formed a secret school.
Indeed, in this world, some people were born endowed with magical abilities : the Silarens.
However, it is not that easy to detect your own powers.
They will soon be joined by a mysterious young woman who will provide them with valuable information.
When Litar - the most powerful being of the realm - goes away for two months, they finally foresee the opportunity to act.
Can they win their freedom back? Will they make the right choices?
__________________________________________________________________________________
Tome I : The Realm of Harcilor
__________________________________________________________________________________
CHAPTER 1 : The Tent
Relan, year 12
In that early spring,
thick gray clouds covered the sky, letting fine frosty raindrops fall
down. The wide alleys were empty. Two Guardians passed along the
rampart, their boots sinking into the mud.
They had to wear a mark
above the eyebrows : a long and thin dark blue line crossing their
forehead. Thereby, it was simple to distinguish them from the people.
They also wore long dark capes. These ones were striding along the stony
wall extensively heightened since the new king Relan had usurped the
power.
The realm of Harcilor
was located at the north of the continent whilst the south was only
constituted of desert plains. The eastern part of this land was
separated by the Karilii sea and bound at the south by a chain of lively
active burning mountains. The harcilans lived isolated as there were
not many of them.
At Hierum, the capital,
people principally resided in cabins and tents protected by the
defensive wall. However, humidity and cold were piercing outside as much
as inside habitations.
At several measures
from the castle could be found an alley where the biggest tents had
subsisted, more or less intact. They belonged to the Guardians of the
late king Geldir. All of them roughly showed the same colours : brown,
auburn and charcoal grey, whose partition walls were strengthened with
wood. The new Guardians, for their part, had settled at the place of the
castle gardens to get closer to Relan.
In front of one of these
tents, a fawn-coloured one, was standing a young man. Kaaz was
twenty-four years old but seemed older with his tired features, pale
complexion and purplish lips. He was tall, had long black hair reaching
the bottom of his back and clear blue eyes that seemed nearly white by
this weather. Sadness and anger displayed upon his face. He was wearing a
long dark cape as well.
He was part of the
Silarens, the humans who possessed magical powers. The ones who didn’t
have the birth advantage to dispose of any of them were called the
Iesilarens.
These unfamiliar words
came from the first spoken language on the mainland, the Tystena: «
silar » meant « power », and the prefix « ie » indicated the negation.
The Silarens could feel each other, perceive the magical energy from one
another.
Kaaz was watching around
the tent. Nobody should discover what was happening, the Guardians
first. If they were coming to know or suspect the inner activities all
the persons present would be sentenced to death.
From time to time, the
Guardians went away from the castle to investigate the neighbourhood,
which disquieted Kaaz. Sometimes, they had already passed in front of
the tent and gotten in to search it.
Careful, he had been on
the lookout for days when no one was inside, in order to deceive them
and leave them unsatisfied. They had somewhat lost interest in this case
as there were no suspicious movements.
Today, the Guardians had
decided to pass again in the way. Kaaz felt a little nervous but hid it
so well nowadays. He noticed the two men turning in the path from afar.
He removed his glove and put his right hand behind his back while
facing them.
He used his
Dissimulation power : an invisible magical energy spreading itself
around the canvas shelter like a shield. This force could prevent the
Silarens from feeling the magic hidden inside the unearthly shell,
willing to hide the host and the guests of the tent. He kept this thin
layer of energy as the two men passed by and observed him.
Kaaz quickly took a bow
to them, and in return they made a discreet head gesture knowing him
rather well now. At least, that’s what they thought.
They continued on their
way, seeing and feeling nothing that could put them on alert. It was
one of the two powers inherited from his mother, a very rare and envied
capacity.
Kaaz was still
maintaining his shield for a moment, the safest was to wait for the
Guardians to be far enough. To define at which distance the magic energy
could be felt or not by someone else was a difficult task. It all
depended of the intensity of one’s own powers and others’. Yet, these
two Guardians weren’t that powerful. Moreover, one only possessed
Mobility, and the other Inflammation, widely spread powers.
The two men far away,
Kaaz stopped emiting his Dissimulation. Apparently, no one else was
expected. The guests knew if they didn’t see him at the entrance they
had to go backwards. He lifted the first curtain of the tent, then the
second one - thicker and heavier - to get inside.
Were standing there a
dozen of children and young adults sitting on the ground on woven
fabrics, as for some parents. The whistling of the wind and the abrupt
fall of the rain ran all over the roof of the canvas. In spite of these
uncomfortable conditions the invited were facing vacant table and stool.
They were clearly waiting for someone.
Cil, a copper-coloured skin and dark-haired little boy, approached Kaaz.
‘When I’ll be older, I want to be as powerful as you !’ he claimed.
Kaaz smiled, which was rather unusual from him. With his right hand, he tousled the boy’s hair.
'I hope you will.’
The man they were all
waiting for got out of the bottom room and put his manuscripts on the
table. Cil took back his place among the other children.
This man’s name was Cyr
Belgran. He was in his fifties and was of ebony complexion. White hair
and beard wrapped his face and the rust colour of his eyes brought even
more sweetness to his friendly appearance. He was standing in front of
his pupils, unrolling a map world drawn by his care and hung it up.
From memory, he had
transcribed what he had read in various books before they had all been
burnt by the new Chief of the Guardians.
'Good morning everyone.
Today, we will study our world and kingdom geographies. Going back to
the last lesson, it is important to know where we come from, to know our
environment. You should make use of what surrounds you, you are only
visiting but Nature has been here for a very long time and will linger.
No matter the past, present or future kings and queens. No matter the
people. Nature created us and amiable beings to live with, and gave us
the right to live. Each day, it grants us what to eat, what to build for
shelter, what to dress and what to take care of ourselves.’
The master threw a
handful of powder, a mixture of dried star jelly and panther caps. Then,
he recited a spell in an ancient language :
'Utena beris.’
The powder held in
suspension. Appeared images: opening primroses of all colours, white,
yellow, purple and mulberry; a peaceable creek winding between banks
covered of first snow; and finally, a sunrise gleaming over the vast
plains of east. Children and parents were filled with wonder.
With the help of a
stick, Cyr stirred up this magic screen. He was Iesilaren and practiced
material magic. A less mighty magic yet it had other advantages.
'It grants us its help
and its beauties. It is ours to behave as we should towards its
splendour and its creatures, including ourselves, humans. We had a king
who respected us, as you know, he was unseated some years ago…’
In the room, everyone was listening with attention. Cyr surely was one of the wisest men in the capital, in Harcilor even.
'Henceforth, we are
bound by another king and his son, Chief of the Guardians. In addition
to that, we have to confront a disloyal Guard. All of them being
thirsting after wealth and subjection. We should never forget what our
kingdom used to be for generations: a fair and free land.’
The children’s and
parents’ eyes were shining, both with remembrance of this past secretly
kept and with admiration for this strong-willed man.
[To be continued]
