I had been riding on umbra for about an hour and finally found my way to the village mentioned in the notes. It was a small village but seemed peaceful

I hoped off umbra and entered the village. I was reviving stairs from many of the people but I pretending to ignore them until I found an old women who was mumbling about a witch

"Maybe another visit with the witch would fix his lazy arse" She says clearly annoyed. She looks up to see and and puts on a smile "Hello their sir can I help you?"

"I'm looking for someone and I heard they ran into a witch. I was hoping to ask if your villages witch had seen her" I say honestly hoping she would sympathize with me and make my life easier

Her face turns into a scowl "Sorry I don't see her myself. You can ask my man though he went to her to fix his back last week and now he's spry as a spring. Although sloth has set in now. He's out back"

"Thank you" I say as I walk around the back and find her man leaning on a post "Heard you know where to find the village witch"

"Who told ye that?" He asks suspicious

"Your wife" I say simply "I'm trying to find a friend and I heard your witch saw her"

He looks at me annoyed "We haven't had a witch nor smart wench here in ages" he says waving me off and leaving

'I highly doubt that' I think to myself as I walk around the village thinking on how to find the witch

I see a man speaking to a older man and he points off to the pond I see near the edge of the village "Hmm worth a shot"

I follow the pond till I find a trail at the end of it by a large rock "Guess I'll follow the path"

I go up a small hill and as soon as I reach the top I see a cabin with villagers outside

I walk up behind the villagers to see them begging a hound women with blond hair for help with their cow

I take a seat on a barrel "Please mam we're domed without here" a man pleads

"I'll give you herbs. Mix them with the water from your stream then give them to the cow. But first throughly clean your barn" the women says clearly annoyed "Now leave"

'Guess all witches are moody' I think to myself as she walks back inside

One of the villagers looks at me and says "She's in a fowl mood sir leave her be"

"I'll keep that in mind" I say as I walk into the cabin to see the witch is nowhere to be found "dam where'd she go"

I walk farther into the cabin to see a skull with magic coming off of it "Here we go" I touch it causing a portal to open

I walk through the portal to find a massive cave that has seeming been built as a sanctuary "Impressive" I say to myself as a blot of lighting strikes before me "Shit" I back up and find the witch as the source of the lightning

"I will not be taken witch hunter now leave or die" she says charging up more magic

"Im not a witch hunter I'm because I'm looking for someone" I say putting up a ward as she seems surprised that I'm able to use magic

"If your not a witch hunter then why is your armor pure silver?" She asks suspicious of me

"When all your friends are witchers it comes with the trade" I say honestly as she seem to relax slightly

"Fine but I want proof which school are your so called friends?" She asks clearly wanting to verify who I am

"The school of the wolf" I say as she seemingly recognizes it "Geralt, Vesemir, Lambert. Any of those ring a bell?"
