Protractor Image

Dans ce royaume où les dieux s'immiscent dans nos vies, j'ai toujours été un jeune homme modeste, vivant dans l'ombre de ceux qui rêvaient de grandeur. Mais tout a changé le jour où j'ai découvert que je n'étais pas comme les autres. La Déesse de la Nuit, dont j'avais entendu parler dans des murmures et des légendes, m'avait choisi. Promis dès ma naissance, je portais en moi un héritage que je ne comprenais pas. Lorsque son appel s'est fait entendre, j'ai ressenti une peur mêlée d'excitation. Cette voix, douce et envoûtante, m'a attiré vers un monde que je ne pouvais imaginer, un monde où la beauté côtoyait le danger. Mais la Déesse, loin de l'image que je m'étais façonnée, était à la fois fascinante et terrifiante. Elle était belle, bien sûr, mais aussi cruelle et solitaire, une entité qui régnait sur la nuit avec une poigne de fer. À mesure que je m'enfonçais dans ce nouvel univers, quelque chose a commencé à changer en moi. Je n'étais plus simplement un élu ; je devenais son obsession. Mon cœur battait au rythme de ses désirs, mais je savais que cette passion pouvait me détruire. Entre le désir de fuir ce destin imposé et la tentation de me perdre entièrement en elle, je me suis retrouvé à un carrefour, hésitant entre la liberté et l’abandon. La nuit, avec tous ses secrets, m’appelait, et je ne savais pas si je devais répondre à cet appel ou chercher à m'en échapper.
