Dragonborn in the witcher

7-No mans land

Geralt and I had been riding for several days and he had filled me in on Triss Merigold

"So she slept with you for over a year knowing that you were with Yennefer and we're looking for Ciri" I ask Clarifying what he had told me

"Pretty much" Geralt says as we come up to a large tree obscured my the rising sun

"And you don't hate her guts?" I ask confused giving him a look

"It's complicated" He says simply

"Clearly" I say as we come up next to the tree. However it was not just a tree. There was around a dozen body's hanging from it "Hanged man's tree. Just as you described it"

"Yes been a while since I've been here" Geralt says seemingly reminiscing before composing himself "The town is up ahead we'll ask for Henrik there"

I nod and we ride off till we reach the village

"I'll ask the barkeep. You stay out of trouble" Geralt says giving me a stern look

"Fine I'll stay with the horses" I say putting my hands up

After a few minutes some men who look like trouble go in "Fuck it" I follow them in and see one of them standing off against geralt who is facing away from the man leaning on the bar

"Aye what's the point of havin two swords?" The man asks as his friends laugh

"Maybe he has two pricks too" another man's says "Ahahahahaha"

Geralt dosent answer so the man speaks again "Aye you gonna answer me or I need to loosen your throat with my blade"

"I'm a witcher" Geralt says still not turning to the man "You we're asking about my swords. Well ones for monsters and the others who humans. Only got one prick tho"

"Stay away from him don't go near him. Those ones are worse than leopards they are" the man says sitting down with his men

'Guess he's got this' I think to myself walking back out by the horses to wait

A few minutes later Geralt walks out "So did they know where he is?"

"Yea he's in a village just over the hill. I saw you come in" Geralt says giving me a look

"I didn't start anything just as you asked" I say hoping on umbra while he hops on roach

"I know. Your battle mania is starting to get under control" Geralt says as we ride

He was right sadly. Over the year or so I've been here I haven't been fighting nearly as much as I was back home. I seemed to have gotten addicted to the thrill of life or death battles. It's taken me a while to manage it. Now I just try and take contracts whenever I can but at the moment so I'm holding it together with shear force of will

We start approaching the village and it appears to be covered in snow "I think we're a little late"

"Maybe there's still some Survivors" Geralt says as we hop off our horses and go into the village

"Get back you muts!!!" We hear someone yell as we sprint to the source of the yelling to find a man there fending off three dogs with a pitchfork

"Raan-Mir-Tah!" I chant as my voice reaches the dogs and they immediately stop their assault "Leave" I command as the dogs all run off

"It's horrible they'll come back no no no I can't!" The man yells falling to the ground

I give Gerat a look and he nods drawing the sign for Axii in the air "Calm down its all fine now"

The man seemingly calms down and takes a seat "Aye it's all fine now"

"Now tell is what happened to Henrik" I say crossing my arms as the man tells us his story

He was sitting by the fire as a overwhelming cold came bursting through the village. The wild hunt showed up and went straight for Henrik and tortured him for information on Ciri before leaving and burning the village

"Dammit" Geralt says as the man finishes his story

"They weren't here the horrors. But they destroyed the village before they left" The man says clearly in shambles

"Which cabin was Henriks?" I ask the man as he points to one about thirty feet away "Thank you now have peace of mind"

The man nods and we head to the cabin "This is your expertise" I say as we step inside and find Henriks tortured corpse "Shit"

Geralt starts to examine the body "Tortured him" Gerat says simply "They could have missed something"

Geralt starts to throughly search the corpse till he finds a key in his boots "Well let's find the lock" I say as he nods and we look around

I notice a draft coming from the floor under a fur carpet "Here fus" the rubble is forced out of the way revealing a trap door. Geralt goes to unlock it but I beat him too it with the skeleton key

"That trinket is beyond useful" he says as the door opens immediately

"Indeed it is" I say as we enter the basement and i immediately spot a poster with a young women drawn on it "Tamara Strenger daughter of the Baron presumed kidnapped"

"Let's look around spies usually have multiple ways of hiding things" Geralt says as I laugh

"Agreed" I say as I start grabbing random things till I turn a candle stick and a hidden door opens

And Geralt immediately starts rummaging through the chest inside "Anything?"

"He was masquerading as a merchant b it hid notes amount the ledger" Geralt says as he continues reading "Missing and wanted, subject appeared in Skelige and Novigrad, description not changed. Drunken swine, so called Baron hosted subject at crows perch for unknown reason. Clashes with a witch, subject landed in swamp and clashed with a witch, talk to peasantry in Midscopse. Caution advised I'm being observed I don't know by who or why"

"Guess the hunt found out he was looking for Ciri. We've got two leads the baron and the witch" I deduce as Geralt nods "I'll take the witch you take the Baron?"

"Fine but why do you want the witch?" Geralt asks crossing his arms

"Because Ciri more than Likely spoke of you to the Baron so you have a higher chance of getting along with him. And I wanna fight a witch" I say admittedly "But I'll find out all the info I can first"

He looks me up and down before sighing "We don't have a lot of time. Fine meet me at crows perch when you found out all you can"

"Alright see you later" I say as I leave and hop on Umbra "Alright buddy we've got a witch to find"
