The Blood Book- Monologues

Vessels

 Yennefer's Monologue- The Witcher (1.4)

I'm sorry you didn't have a life. But, if truth be told, you're not missing much.

I know it's easy for me to say with the warm breath in my lungs, and you with nothing. 

Still, what would you have had?

Parents? Well, they're the ones who  wrote your last act, so not much lost there. Friends? Most like fair weather. Lovers? Fun for a bit, I'll admit, but all eventually disappoint.

And let's face it. You're a girl.

Your mother was right about one thing. We're just vessels.

And even when we're told we're special, as I was, as you would have been, we're still just vessels for them to take... and take, until we're empty... and alone.

So count yourself lucky. You've cheated the game and won without even knowing it. 

Sleep well.
