The dark sorceress

Chapter-6

The next day they took their belongings from the shared room and left the tavern once the sun was up. Geralt noticed burn scars on her arms as she slide her gloves on "Your curse hurts your body?" The silver haired man said staring at her gloves them back at her. "No it doesn't,it does feel like it's burning my arms off,the scars you saw were from the iron..when I was fighting in the tavern with a angry dude because I spilled his drink on his shirt my curse activated and I forgot I was wearing some iron bracelets,the man who sold me them said it's silver but turns out it was iron."
Geralt sighed and grabbed Roach's harness petting the horse. "Are you sure I'll find my father?He could be dead..This journey is gonna be fucking stupid! He's probably dead!I won't be able to lift this curse! I'll fucking die on the way there!"Cassandra yelled out with anger as she ran her hands over her face in frustration.

"We're gonna find him.. don't worry.Those United by destiny will always find each other."Geralt tried comforting the girl but it just made her angrier "What fucking type of destiny is this?!" The witcher saw the tears on her face and wrapped an arm around her shoulder letting her cry on his chest. "There there..." He patted her back.

After the girl calmed down she got on her horse and they left the tavern.Once they were on open field, Cassandra's horse started running around in happiness "Wow!Calm down girl!" Cassandra said laughing while Geralt watched the two feeling like an older brother with his little sister.

Cassandra got to calm her horse down and did not see the smile on Geralt's face,the girl still had a child mind but she hid it behind a mature one.They rode their horses until they found a lake,stopping by to let the horses drink some water.

Jaskier's POV:
I was standing at the tavern in my room, playing with the strings on my lute. The only thing on my mind was her,I missed her voice,her eyes that were always filled with curiosity and anger. I missed her voice as she made fun of people in the tavern with the owner.
I couldn't sleep this night, wondering if she was safe..my songs we're just sad ones,no longer full of happiness,the way she glanced at me when they left..

Someone knocked on my door and I raised my head "Jaskier your shift is coming,be down to sign for the clients."the owner of the tavern said and left the corridor once I answered the door. I placed my hat on the top of my head and grabbed my lute heading downstairs.

People looked my way when I entered the room "Good evening ladies and gentlemen!What a lovely day isn't it?"I took a seat on a chair next to the bar and started signing my new song,I made it up the night I couldn't sleep.

"I hear you're alive, how disappointing..
I've also survived, no thanks to you.
Did I not bring you some glee
Mister, oh, look at me!
Now I'll burn all the memories of you..
All those lonely miles that you ride.
Now you'll walk with no one by your side!
Did you ever even care?
With your swords and your stupid hair?
Now watch me laugh as I burn all the memories of you.."

The song I made was about Geralt of Rivia and Cassandra,who both left me alone,throwing me aside like a useless instrument that was broken.

"What for d'you yearn?
It's the point of no return
After everything we did, we saw..
You turned your back on me!
What for d'you yearn?
Watch that butcher burn..
At the end of my days when I'm through!
No word that I've written will ring quite as true as "burn!"
Burn, butcher, burn!
Burn, sorceress, burn..
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Watch me burn all the memories of you!.."

I changed the last line with sorceress,since Cassandra also left me.She treated me like a rotten apple in a batch full of new and shiny ones,just grabbed me and threw me out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been the most beautiful audience
Remember to toss a coin if you can
If anyone needs me, I'll be at the bar!" I said as I grabbed my lute and placed it on the bar, taking a sip out of my drink.The owner looked at me while he was cleaning some cups "What's up the new song? Cassandra left?" "She did..she left with the Witcher.She wants to find clues about her father,she wants to get rid of her stupid curse..And she said it's too dangerous for me to come along." I said as I kept my gaze on the drink in my cup.
"She just wants you to be safe."the owner said as he gave the bard a comforting smile.
