Maa sügavuste all – esimene osa: kohutav pimedus

Hingamine muutus raskeks.

Meie ümber oli vaid pimedus – selline pimedus, milles isegi valguse mõte tundus absurdne. Niisketelt seintelt tilkus vett, õhku täitsid kajavad helid ja aeg-ajalt kostis mõne tundmatu olendi kauge karje… sellest piisas, et meel halvata.

Mu käsi oli kaljul. Külm, märg ja värises imelikult. Võib-olla oli see mu kujutlusvõime või äkki liikus sein päriselt.

Professor Lidenbrock oli paar sammu eespool. Tal oli käes tõrvik, kuid selle valgus paljastas vaid tema näo – kõik muu neelas varjud alla.

„Stopp!“ ütlesin ma kähedalt ja pinges häälel. „Midagi… midagi liigub ees!“

Professor pöördus ja vaatas mulle otsa. Tema silmis polnud hirmu – ainult imestust. Justkui oleks ta seda hetke aastaid oodanud.

„Oleme lähedal… Ma tunnen seda, Axel. Maa tuuma saladused kutsuvad meid.“

Vaatasin tagasi. Meie kaaslane Hans istus vaikides seina ääres. Nägu higist läbimärjana, silmad tühjad. Ta polnud viimase tunni jooksul sõnagi lausunud, vaid vahtis ikka ja jälle ühes suunas.

Siis äkki värises maa.

Väga õrnalt, nagu ärkaks meie all mingi hiiglaslik olend. Seina pragudest kostis sügav heli – midagi, mis ületas inimkeele haardeulatuse.

Me kolmekesi jõllitasime teineteisele otsa. Selles pimeduses tundus kõik vaenlasena – isegi meie endi varjud.

Ja kuidas see kõik alguse sai?

Kaks kuud tagasi istusime Hamburgis vanas raamatukogus. Samas raamatukogus, kust leidsime kulunud raamatust peidetud sõnumi – sõnumi, mis sundis meid sellele teekonnale asuma. Teekonnale, kus iga samm jättis Maa ja aja seljataha... ja mille lõpp võib olla siin – keset seda pimedust, seda vaikust ja seda hirmu.

Breathing was becoming difficult.
All around us was only darkness — a kind of darkness in which even the idea of light felt absurd. Water dripped from the damp walls, echoing sounds filled the air, and every now and then, a distant scream from some unknown creature… it was enough to paralyze the mind.
My hand was on the rock. Cold, wet, and trembling strangely. Maybe it was my imagination — or perhaps the wall was actually moving.
Professor Lidenbrock was a few steps ahead. He held a torch, but its light only revealed his face — everything else was swallowed by the shadows.
“Stop!” I said, my voice cracked and strained. “Something… something’s moving up ahead!”
The professor turned to look at me. There was no fear in his eyes — only wonder. As if he had been waiting for this very moment for years.
“We’re close… I can feel it, Axel. The secrets of the Earth’s core are calling to us.”
I looked back. Our companion Hans was sitting silently against the wall. His face drenched in sweat, his eyes vacant. He hadn’t spoken a word in the past hour, just kept staring in the same direction.
Then suddenly, the ground trembled.
Very slightly, like some giant creature was waking beneath us. A deep sound came from the cracks in the wall — something beyond the grasp of human language.
The three of us stared at one another. In this darkness, everything felt like an enemy — even our own shadows.
And how did all this begin?
Two months ago, we were sitting in an old library in Hamburg. The same library where we found that hidden message inside a worn-out book — a message that compelled us to undertake this journey. A journey where every step left the Earth and time behind… and whose end might be here — amidst this darkness, this silence, and this fear.
