The Angel of Lyria : ( the Healer of Witcher's 2) *complete*

Geralt injured

I fiddle with my crystal as the mayor left my shop. He told me as I was cleaning his wound on his hand that he had hired a Witcher to come rid us of our monster problem. I advised against it but he wouldn't hear anything I had to say. Ever since the Angel of Lyria had appeared nearly a year ago , people were happy. The crime had gone down since it appeared. The mayor wanted it gone. Lyria was a town of trade. The town thrived and everyone was happy. Everyone but the mayor . He wanted Lyria to be like it was before. Everyone struggling but him.
I sighed as I turned to close up my shop. Hoping and praying that nothing bad would happen to night.
Just as I'm closing the door , I see a man standing in the shadows watching me. I stare him down and he continues on. I'm not afraid of the night. I've fought the things that go bump in the night. But that man staring like that , reminded me of ....
"Don't even think about him Jade. He's your past. You have a new life here in Lyria." I whisper to myself
I go upstairs to my room and prepare for bed. Just as I'm about to blow out my candle I hear a knock downstairs. I throw on my robe and quickly run downstairs.
" I'm sorry but the shop is closed."
I say through the door
" I need a healer please!" I recognize that voice. I open the door to find Jaskier and draped around his shoulder badly wounded is Geralt.
" Come in and place him on the cot." I say
Jaskier struggles carrying Geralt , so I slip my arm around Getalts waist and help Jaskier bring hi to the cot.
" what happened?" I ask
" We were attacked a town over by a wrath." I start removing Geralts armor and shirt.
" I'm Jaskier by the way." I smile at him and say " I'm Jade. Nice to meet you under the circumstances."
I pull back when I see a nasty looking claw mark along his right shoulder , coming down across his chest to his left hip.
I gather my herbs and begin mixing them into a paste. As well as a healing tonic for him.
" Um, if I'm not mistaken that looks like a Witchers tonic." I freeze , and look back over at Jaskier. " Yes a Witcher , came through here a year ago and showed me how to make several different ones . Just in case any other Witchers came through here needing aide." His eyes widen at this.
" What was there name?" He asks hopeful.
" Rafaela ..."  I hate lying to them
" what happened to her?"
I shrug at the question " she stayed for a month and left without a trace. I believe she was heading towards the Witcher school near here. "
" Kaer Seren?"  I nod as I start to clean the wound.
" I believe so. She was very kind but mysterious. Always on the lookout for ....others."
As I clean a deep gash near Geralts neck, his golden eyes open and stare at me.
" Lie still , I have to put this paste on your wound and wrap it."
I place my hand on his left shoulder.
" Who are you?" He asks
I smile at him and say " my name is Jade of Lyria."
He just continues to stare at me.
" Can you sit up?" I ask
He groans in pain as he does.
" Jaskier could you please go behind him and help me tie these bandages?" He moves behind Geralt . Over the next few minutes we pass the roll of bandages back and forth. Every time I lean to pass the bandage back to Jaskier, My hands brush against his skin. He would breath deeply as he just stared at me. " your not from here are you?" He asks I smile up at him.
" I'm not. I settled here a few years ago. I was passing through when a great sickness overcame the village so I helped out and decided to stay here. "
" hmmm."
Oh how I've missed that sound. I tie off the bandage with shaking hands.
" you can stay here tonight " I say to  them. I motion you my kitchen behind me. " there's bread and cheese as well as some cold cut ham in the icebox. Help yourselves. I'll go get you both some blankets." I move to go to the hallway closet when he says
" Rafe.." I turn to look at him and cock my head to the side
" I'm sorry who?" He just continues to stare.
" thank you for your hospitality Lady Jade. But the reason we're here is for ..."
" The Angel of Lyria. Yes I know. It's what all the hunters are after. "
I interrupt Jaskier.
" what have you heard of the this Angel?" Geralt asks . I smirk at him and cross my arms . " Well the Angel appeared about a year ago. She helped those who needed it. Lyria wasn't a nice place to live. She cleaned it up and the crime rate has gone down considerably. The mayor doesn't like that. He made a profit by scaring the people of Lyria by taxing them for protection. If you didn't pay he'd send some thugs to teach you a lesson. The Angel put a stop to that." I watch as Geralt studies me . Like he's trying to figure out a puzzle. " why would this Angel care about the citizens of Lyria?" I smile at him as I hand him some bread. " The people say she was a woman who fell in love with a man who didn't return her love.  she died of a broken heart and now she's come back to protect others."

Jaskier taps a finger to his chin. " Sounds like an amazing story that needs to be turned into a song!" He exclaims .

Geralt glares at him as he says this. " If you start singing I will shov my boot up your ass." He grumbles. I giggle .

" well if your going to be here for a while then your more than welcome to stay here for as long as you need." They thank me and I look sternly at Geralt.

" As for you. You need rest and I don't want you up until that wound is out of the infection stage."  He just stares at me.

" Uh, no offense but he's kind of stubborn." I shrug

" that's fine but I'm the one who has the tonic he needs to heal. So he can either listen to me and I give him the healing tonic or be stubborn and obstinate and I'll make sure you'll heal like a regular human. Which could take weeks."

He mumbles under his breath about bull headed healers as I move to the stairs.
" by the way I'm a light sleeper so don't go snooping through my things Jaskier."
I hear him whisper as I reach the top of the stairs.
" How could she possibly..."
" because she's not who she says she is." I go to bed smiling mischievously. Well let the games begin
