After we had exited the portal night had fallen and I agreed to stay the night at Keira's cottage
"So what's your story?" Keira asks as we eat some steaks she had ordered and I had cooked
"Well I first discovered I was dragonborn when I was young. Soon after I was thrown into a fight to save the world. I won and I've just been going wherever there's coin ever since" I say as I finish my food 'That's all she needs to know'
"I must say it's hard to believe your from another world but with that magic of yours there's no denying it" Keira says standing up "Well thank you for staying for dinner I must say you make quite good company"
"You do as well. I'm used to eating terrible tavern food this was great thank you" I say with a smile as I look at the rising sun "Wow we were up all night"
Keira sighs "Hopefully my last night here in Velen"
"Owe where do you plan on going?" I ask her curious
"I plan on going to King radovid" she says as my eyes widen
"You mean the king who's leading the witch hunts?" I ask walking over to her "Do you have a death wish?"
"No I most certainly do not. I will not go back till I have leverage" she says with a determined face "That's why I have one more favor to ask of you"
"What's the favor?" I ask her
"I need you to help me get through the tower on Felkey isle and into the mages lab at the top" she says crossing her arms "The mage was studying the plague there and those notes are my leverage on Radovid"
'I mean I have the time. I'm not supposed to meet Geralt for a couple more days' I think to myself as I contemplate helping her "Fine but I want something in return"
"And what is that?" She asks putting her hands on her hips
"I want you to enchant my armor" I say simply as she looks surprised "I take my armor very seriously and enchanting it would be of great help. Do we have a deal?"
"Indeed we do" she says with a smile "Remove your armor and I'll enchant it. After that we'll head to the Isle" I nod removing my armor "What kind of enchantments we're you looking for?"
"I want it to be able to dispel magic that's fired at me" I explain as she nods
"I can do that but I must warn you this will not make you anywhere near immune to magic. I'm skilled but no where near that skilled" she says as she starts to imbue my armor with magic
"Every little bit helps" I say as I watch runes appear on my armor then vanish as she finishes
"It's done. Now off to the isle" she says going to create a portal however I grab her arm and stop her "What is it?"
"Let's go on foot" I say letting go of her arm
"Why would I want to trek through Velen anymore then I have too?" She asks crossing her arms
I sigh "Fine open the portal" I say not wanting to argue
"Knew you'd see it my way" she says as she turns around and opens a portal and we get transported to the isle
"So where exactly is this tower?" I ask looking around the area we arrived not seeing it
"It should be just on the other side of those trees" she says pointing to a small group of trees. Just above the tops I manage to see what must be the very top of the tower "Well let's not dally"
We start walking on the trail and I feel something's off. Suddenly around a dozen drouners appear out of the mud
Keira immediately casts a shield on herself and I draw my sword and slice one of them in half as it charged at me
"These things are disgusting!" Keira yells blasting two of them away with magic
One of the drouners swing their claws at me but I dodge under it and cut its leg off at the joint then I run my blade through it's back killing it "Indeed. But their weak as hell"
Two of them charge at me one from each side claws ready as they leap I shout "Feim" I become etherial for a split second as the two drouners impale each other killing then "And stupid"
Keira finishes off the last few and drops her barrier "Just how much can you do with that language?"
"Quite a lot. Shouts are very powerful and I've been training them for years" I explain as we reach the base of the tower and she stops "What's wrong?"
"This is why I needed the lamp" she says pulling it out "it will allow me to see the spirits inhabiting the Tower"
"Why do you need to see them?" I ask confused
"So I can find a path too the lab" she says looking at me like I'm stupid and I raise my hands
"Fair enough" I say as we enter the tower "Looks like no one's been here in a while what happened?"
"From what I know peasants believed the lord was hoarding food here and came too ask for some" she says as we ascend the tower
"There's gotta be more than that this place reaks of death" I say noticing the lamp picking up a spirt
"Run my daughter up the tower!" A male Spector says as a girl runs up the stairs
"Looks like those peasants did more than ask for food" I deduce looking around at the trashed room "They attacked the tower. Guess the lord was hiding something here"
"Indeed" she says as we make our way too what looks like a lab "Look around see if you can find the alchemists research" she says as I see another door leading up
"I'll look up there" I say as I climb too the top of the tower top find dead bodies stacked up and I sigh indifferent "Guess the alchemist moved too human testing"
I walk back down the stairs too see Keira holding a parchment "Is that it?"
"Indeed it is. Thank you for your help" she says placing the parchment in her bag
"Not that I really did much but thank you" I say reaching out my hand for her too shake it and she accepts "You know you could just go too Kaer Morhen"
She chuckles "That's a funny joke" she says as my expression doesn't change "Wait your serious?"
"Indeed. It's not much for amenities but the sheets are clean" I say she she appears too think about it "Just keep it in mind"
"What will you do?" She ask as we exit the tower
"Most likely try to meet up with Geralt and see where he's at with the Baron. After that I'll be heading too Novigrad" I say looking up at the clearing sky
"Well for now I'll say good luck" she says with a smile "Hope to see you again"
"Same too you" I say as she creates a portal and vanishes as I sigh "Off too find Geralt"
