Tanzania 2012-2013 - Days 5 & 6

I have travelled a lot in my life and last december, I was in Tanzania with my father and sister for a safari trip. For 12 days, we would see mountains, plains, lakes and forests full of wildlife.

Day 5 - First day in Serengenti National park

The Serengeti plains are reknown for their animal migrations. You can see thousands of animals moving on the huge plains. The park holds also a large amount of lions, which we weren't lucky enough to see. Fortunately, there is a large diversity of other species that we could observe during the day and a half we spent there.

The Dagger of Exion - Part 2

I almost thought I was out on a stroll in this beautiful weather. The sun was shining, the birds were signing and I was simply following the road to the southeast edge of the forest. Since the journey was long to Heilam, I didn’t need to hurry. The letter I held wasn’t urgent either. I intended to take advantage of my travelling to get to know this world better. Maybe fragments of my memory would return to me as I did so. However, this path wasn’t the most used, especially at this time of the year, and I didn’t meet anyone on my way.

I wasn’t lonely though. The second night I spent under the stars, I heard a noise. It sounded like a wounded animal and I rose from the bed of leaves I had made. Taking a torch, I made my way in the dark towards the whining. To my surprise, I found a wolf cub in a rabbit trap, unable to free himself. Hanging by a foot, he was trying desperately to bite the rope off, unsuccessfully. I had a smile watching the little white ball of fur fighting for his life. I approached and he growled when I tried to help. I calmed him down with my voice, talking very low. Taking my dagger out of it’s sheath, I freed him of the trap carefully and watched him get back on his feet. He stumbled though and I realized that the paw that was caught might be hurt. So I kneeled and offered a hand. Still whining from the pain, the wolf cub came closer and this time didn’t try to bite me. I took him and carried him back to my camp. Holding him close to me, I could feel his small heart beat fast. He was terrified, hurt and alone. Back to the fire, I fed him some of the meat Meriel gave me before I left. He seemed to like it and once he was full, he fell asleep. I then went to bed myself, smiling.

Elena - Deuxième partie

Il ne mangeait plus, il ne dormait plus. Il ne faisait que rêver d'elle. Dès que Sylver fermait ses paupières, il revoyait son visage aux traits fins, ses yeux bleus emplis de douceur, son sourire enchanteur. Il croyait entendre partout sa voix calme et son rire cristallin. Il était distrait et son père le lui reprochait. Lui, fils parfait, héritier idéal, tombait dans un abysse profond que l'on appelait amour.

Une question le rongeait depuis qu'il avait quitté le royaume de sa princesse. Comment diable allait-il la ravir à ses gardiens? Il ne pouvait risquer de s’aliéner un allié important pour la compagnie. Il était un des piliers fondateurs afin de la rendre internationale. Cependant, il lui était impossible d’oublier la demoiselle. Il ne désirait qu’être en sa présence, mais pour cela il lui faudrait trouver un moyen de quitter l’Italie pour les États-Unis d’Amérique.

Moriatti père n’était pas prêt à laisser partir ainsi son fils unique sur un autre continent. Un second voyage dès son retour lui semblait déraisonnable, surtout si ce n’était pas lié aux affaires. Cependant, il était d’avis que Sylver avait besoin de vacances. Il avait fait d’énormes progrès récemment, mais, depuis New York, il semblait ailleurs. Il ne pouvait compter sur lui lorsqu’il était dans cet état. Il ferait ce qui était dans le meilleur intérêt de la compagnie et s’il devait renvoyer temporairement son héritier, il le ferait. Il n’avait que faire d’un homme qui se comportait en enfant!

C’est ainsi que Moriatti fils fut envoyé se ressourcer en France. Il pourrait ainsi en profiter pour travailler son français. Son père s’était montré clair; il devait se reprendre d’ici un mois sans quoi sa position au sein de la famille serait compromise. Toutefois, le jeune homme avait d’autres plans. Dès son arrivée en terre française, il échappa à son escorte et prit le premier vol pour New York. Il n’avait que quelques heures afin de décider ce qu’il allait faire en atterrissant et il ne pouvait gaspiller une seule seconde. Son avenir en dépendait.
