The Last Contract

The Last Contract Chapter 2

Chapter two: The Witcher and his loved ones

Geralt wakes up to find his hands and legs bound to the bed with rope. "W..what is happening?!" Triss enters the room and looks at Geralt and smiles. "You've awake finally." Geralt looks at Triss and looks confused. "Triss please help me out of these ropes i need to get to the duchess." Triss laughs and sits down on top of Geralt. "No no no Witcher you and me are going to have some fun." Geralt sighs and begs Triss to at least untie him. "And why ever would i?" "Well i have a idea how we can have some fun." Triss smiles and unties Geralt. "So Witcher what is your plan?" "Wait just a moment i need to get ready." Geralt walks into the living room and dons his armor and swords, he takes down a trophy from one of his contracts and walks back into the bedroom. "Miss Merigold i killed that wyvern that was terrorizing your cattle." Triss looks at Geralt and understands immediately what they are going to do. "I thank you Witcher I suppose you would like payment for your kill?" "That i would indeed." "Well Witcher you see i have no coin to pay but i am sure we can figure something out." "And what would you have in mind Miss Merigold?" Triss smiles and tells Geralt to wait, when Triss returns she is wearing her black and red dress she uses for nobles parties. "Well Witcher how about we take of those heavy swords first." Triss walks towards Geralt and takes of his swords. "And this heavy armor must be in the way of all of your more..agile movements let me rid you of it." Triss begins unbuttoning Geralt's chest armor and slowly works her way to his trousers and his shoes. "That is better, now that rope we can find other uses for it. Geralt takes of his gauntlets and picks up Triss laying her down on the bed binding her hands to the bed and begins to slowly undress he starts with her shirt and undergarments, he slowly makes his way to her trousers and skirt once fully undressed Triss tells Geralt to get a piece of leather from her closet, he gets the leather and asks what to do with it "you can use it as a whip Witcher" "ahh i see Miss Merigold" right as Geralt is about to continue the front door swings open "SIR GERALT!!" Geralt gets up and walks into the living room and sees an old man standing in the door opening.

"What is the problem?" The old man looks at Geralt and tells him whats wrong. "A..a monster i saw a monster at the Trestmara estate!" "Hmm what did it look like?" "Like a decaying corpse but with spoons attached around its forehead." Geralt tells the man he will look what it was and if its dangerous and tells him to head home and try to relax. Geralt walks back into the bed room and tells Triss he has a contract for a monster prowling the Trestmara estate. He unties Triss dons his armor and swords and sets out to see what it is the man described. When he arrives he notices a strange mist is surrounding the area where the mansion stands, when entering the front yard of the mansion Geralt notices that there are spoons hanging from trees and shacks. "Hmm these spoons seem to beat on some kind of rhythm a song maybe?" When Geralt approaches the house he sees a sentence carved into the stone.

"None shall sit and dine with you, No spoon shall sate you, You will wish to never see your reflection,Never shall you be counted among the living." Geralt reads the sentence and repeats it multiple times in his head. "This seems like a curse might be able to lift it if i can find out what is prowling the area." He enters the house and finds a diary old and neglected. "A diary might tell me what happened here." He opens the diary and reads it.

"I will be having another party this evening with all the food one could wish i must get ready for tonight so i have to keep it short." "a bum came up to my estate and asked for food last evening i told him i would rather give the leftovers to the dogs than him, when he left he broke his spoon and said some gibberish i think it nonsense." "I have been having terrible dizziness these past few hours and it is slowly getting joined by pain i will have to visit a herbalist even though i despise witchery and magic." "the herbalist gave me a drink that seemed to do naught but grow some kind of fur on my chest i swear to Lebioda i will kill that herbalist." "I went back to the herbalist only to find no one in the hut i think she might have legged it because she knew what would happen to me, when i got home i felt hunger but I couldn't eat with a spoon every spoon I owned didn't feel right to eat with so i did not eat at all." "Its getting harder to write and my head only has thoughts of finding the right spoon one i can eat with." "Spoon. No right spoon. Lies." "Eat. I need to eat. But no spoons." "LIES. ONLY LIESS." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
The diary ends and Geralt puts it back in the place where it originally layed. "Poor girl knew she was cursed and wrote down her transformation into her diary." Geralt goes further down the hall and sees a stairway leading to the basement he walks down it and finds a cauldron and some green slimy substance. "This is a Wight's layer she was cursed and transformed into a Wight, might be able to lift the curse just need to find out how." Geralt repeats the sentence he saw carved into the wall and makes a conclusion. "No one shall sit and dine with you" "might mean i need to eat with the Wight willingly." "No spoon shall sate you" "If the wight and i eat without spoons maybe?" "Never will you wish to see your reflection" "if i can trick the Wight into looking at her face it might work." "Never shall you be counted among the living." "This must have been the part that transformed her into a Wight, Wights were zombie like creatures before my brothers hunted them down to extinction decades ago, why i will never understand Wights are sentient and form no threat when left alone."
