2097. "Il suffit d'un murmure..." disait Maestri. Un seul murmure pour réveiller un peuple endormi depuis des années. Les températures polaires, l'ajout de restrictions, les rumeurs concernant la reine, la résurgence du virus XX, et une alliance en cours, ont fini par faire basculer le Royaume dans les prémices d'une révolution. Le chaos est proche, mais le peuple, à bout de souffle. Renversement du pouvoir ou massacre annoncé ? La frontière est minime. Et tout semble ne reposer que sur un seul individu.

Je suis anéantie, hagarde. Le néant m'a engloutie. Je n'ai que deux issues : sombrer ou me venger. Je choisis la vengeance. Pour y parvenir, je dois rencontrer le roi. Je redoute de le voir. J'ai hâte de le revoir. Et je ne devrais pas... C'est l'heure des explications, l'heure d'admettre l'inavouable, l'heure de faire des choix... Mais l'étau se resserre. Le danger plane au-dessus de nos têtes. Le compte à rebours est enclenché. Et le temps passe...

Après vingt-sept ans d'une vie passée parmi les humains, j'ai débarqué au château d'Altérac, berceau des Natifs, loin de me douter qu'une rencontre allait bouleverser mon existence à jamais... Hélas, je n'étais pas prête, je ne savais pas... J'ai pris une simple décision, que je croyais anodine sur le moment, et le destin du royaume a basculé... Le mien fut scellé. La solitude m'a terrassée. Ne dit-on pas que c'est dans les moments les plus sombres que surgissent l'espoir et la lumière ? Seul le temps pourra me le révéler.

Je n'ai jamais été une grenouille de bénitier, mais je me souviens très bien des grandes lignes de la religion affirmant que Dieu est omnipotent, omniscient, omniprésent et... immense. Sauf qu'à en croire l'individu petit, chauve et rabougri qui se tient devant moi, il doit y avoir erreur sur la marchandise.

On n'avait qu'à pas m'enlever l'homme que j'aime.

La plupart des gens ont une famille bien comme il faut. Moi, non. Mon fils a des super pouvoirs, ma tante est un vampire, et mon père est gardé prisonnier en enfer. Si j'avais eu le caractère de ma mère, je serais restée bien tranquille chez moi, mais manque de bol, je suis le portrait craché de mon géniteur. C'est pourquoi je vais aller le chercher au sous-sol, serrer la pince à Satan et lui faire faux bond dans la foulée. Avec un peu de chance, je m'en sortirai indemne. Enfin... presque.
