Di Bawah Kedalaman Bumi – Episode Satu: Kegelapan yang Mengerikan

Bernapas menjadi sulit.

Di sekeliling kami hanya ada kegelapan—semacam kegelapan yang bahkan gagasan tentang cahaya pun terasa absurd. Air menetes dari dinding yang lembap, gema suara memenuhi udara, dan sesekali, jeritan samar dari makhluk tak dikenal… cukup untuk melumpuhkan pikiran.

Tanganku menyentuh batu itu. Dingin, basah, dan bergetar aneh. Mungkin itu hanya imajinasiku—atau mungkin dinding itu benar-benar bergerak.

Profesor Lidenbrock beberapa langkah di depan. Ia memegang senter, tetapi cahayanya hanya memperlihatkan wajahnya — yang lainnya tertutup bayangan.

"Berhenti!" kataku, suaraku serak dan tegang. "Ada sesuatu... ada sesuatu yang bergerak di depan!"

Profesor itu menoleh ke arahku. Tak ada rasa takut di matanya—hanya rasa heran. Seolah-olah ia telah menunggu momen ini selama bertahun-tahun.

"Kita sudah dekat... Aku bisa merasakannya, Axel. Rahasia inti Bumi memanggil kita."

Aku menoleh ke belakang. Teman kami, Hans, duduk diam bersandar di dinding. Wajahnya basah oleh keringat, tatapannya kosong. Ia tidak berbicara sepatah kata pun selama satu jam terakhir, hanya terus menatap ke arah yang sama.

Lalu tiba-tiba tanah bergetar.

Sangat pelan, seolah ada makhluk raksasa yang terbangun di bawah kami. Suara berat terdengar dari celah-celah dinding—sesuatu yang tak terpahami bahasa manusia.

Kami bertiga saling menatap. Dalam kegelapan ini, segalanya terasa seperti musuh—bahkan bayangan kami sendiri.

Dan bagaimana semua ini dimulai?

Dua bulan yang lalu, kami duduk di sebuah perpustakaan tua di Hamburg. Perpustakaan yang sama tempat kami menemukan pesan tersembunyi di dalam sebuah buku usang — sebuah pesan yang mendorong kami untuk melakukan perjalanan ini. Sebuah perjalanan di mana setiap langkah meninggalkan Bumi dan waktu… dan yang ujungnya mungkin di sini — di tengah kegelapan ini, keheningan ini, dan ketakutan ini.

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.
