The Diving Bell And The Butterfly の小説・ストーリー

He was waiting for the opening of the big war. Twelve men stood behind him, and they were Twelve Golden Zodiacs. Finally, while they had waited for a long time, the sky on the east brightened, and the dawn was coming. The cocoon in the mansion on 556 West Destiny Street also hatched while the sky became bright. A newborn butterfly came out of its cocoon. After the butterfly tried to flap its wings, it flew up. It flew through the main door and flew all the way to the east. “Follow the butterfly!”

I was welcomed by a gushing wind of extraordinary aura from the centre of the room where Dorothy sat legs-crossed — wings outstretched behind her — and her eyes shut. Still baffled by the sight, I slipped in. The aura kept on spinning around her, making her seemingly barricaded from the rest of the world. I quickly cast my eyes around her room and filled them with warmness. Looking back at her, my eyes then caught sight of a big book with the word, “Butterflies”, and a smaller book that said, “Fairies”. Something inside me wanted me to rush right down to it and grab it, still, all I could do was keep watching from where I stood.

“When I hit the water, I’m going to send a signal through the Box. Use it to restart the engines. Get the Sky-Whale out of the trench. Take the people and go back to the Hub.” ​“And you?” Silas asked, his voice cracking. ​“I’ll find you,” I promised, though I didn’t know if it was a lie. ​I hit the manual release. ​The water didn’t crash in; it welcomed me. I was pulled out into the dark indigo deep, the pressure enveloping me like a cold embrace. I didn’t need to breathe; the turquoise light on my skin was extracting oxygen directly from the brine. ​I swam downward, a streak of iridescent light in the dark. The jellyfish-gardeners didn’t attack me; they swirled around me in a protective spi

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 Inside the narrow, steel-ribbed corridor of The Nest, the air smelled of old grease, recycled oxygen, and the sharp, medicinal tang of the bio-gel still evaporating from Maya’s skin. The submersible groaned, its hull complaining as it dove deeper into the pressurized trenches of the Channel, away from the prying thermal eyes of any remaining Sterling salvage fleets.

At the center of the cavern sat a pool. Black. Perfectly still. No ripples. No visible bottom. Just dark glass stretching across stone. Sybil moved to the edge slowly, crouching. Her fingers hovered over the surface without touching it. “It’s in there,” she confirmed. “The second artifact.” Aven swallowed. “How deep?” Sybil’s expression tightened. “Deep enough.” I stepped closer, staring into the water. The pull intensified the nearer I stood, vibrating through bone and marrow. Edgar leaned slightly to peer inside. “I vote we send someone small and expendable first.”

••• Though it's the clan pool, but no one can ever swim inside without Toyota's permission, it's her place of solace again apart from the rooftop. She was wearing just her black undies as she walked her way to the pool, smiling at the thought of Jezebel. "Sometimes, it'd feel like you're about to die, and the next minute, it'd feel like you're the healthiest person living, that's how a slow poison works till your intestines will be in shreds" she laughed, smoking from her stick of cigar. She was already at the poolside before noticing someone inside the pool, and the lights surrounding it are off.

I stopped turning on my phone because every time I did, it was flooded with hateful messages and nonstop calls. They called me a thief, an ugly duckling, a waste of space. Someone who didn't deserve to exist. My family, tucked away in a tiny rural village, had no clue what I was going through. And I couldn't bring myself to tell them. I was barely holding it together back then. If I hadn't drowned in that river, maybe I'd have ended up in a place like this hospital. But life had given me something I never thought I'd get—a second chance.

Looking down, she gasped softly a blue butterfly had landed there, its wings glowing like sapphires in the sunlight. A genuine smile spread across her face. “You’re so beautiful,” she whispered, afraid that even her voice might scare it away. For a moment, it stayed perfectly still as if it understood her, its delicate wings fluttering slightly against her skin. But just as she reached out her hand to touch it, her phone began to ring loudly. Startled, the butterfly lifted off and disappeared into the air. “Oh, come on,” Alina groaned, rolling her eyes in frustration. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.

It hovers a few feet away, its movements graceful and deliberate. I stare in wonder, feeling the world tilt and shift around me. The butterfly floats in midair, its wings a blur of sapphire and moonlit silver, and I know—somehow, deep inside—that it’s not just a dream. This is a sign, a path forward. Swallowing my uncertainty, I push myself to my feet, determined to follow wherever it might lead. The warmth of the meadow feels alive with possibility, and I take my first step toward the unknown, heart pounding and hope blooming in my chest.
