Yennefer's ship finally docked. They'd been at sea for many months, but it felt like years. "Next time I'm building a portal." Yennefer stepped out of her cabin, somewhat weak and unstable, infinitely preferring a brief pull of magic teleportation to months of sea sickness. "Don't you worry about a thing, Mistress," the captain addressed…
15 Morning Star, 4E196 and on – White Orchard in winter – Years after the end of the Wild Hunt
It's been weeks since anyone had heard from Ciri. After she stepped through the portal for the final battle with the King of the Wild Hunt, Avallac'h had teleported Geralt back to Velen, then left for his own world. Ciri would return when the King was defeated... or the Wild Hunt would return if she…
27 Sun’s Dusk, 4E195 – Cirilla
"Cirilla is not just another elf," Avallac'h looked at everyone in turn. "She is special." "Ciri is not an elf," Geralt objected. He didn't care for Avallac'h's airs. "She is not, and she is," Avallac'h inclined his head. "She is of Elder Blood, that predates humans and elves both. But elves predate humans, and thus..."…
23 Hearthfire, 4E195 – The djinn
Geralt's search for Ciri in Novigrad once again led him nowhere. Yes, she had been there before but she was now gone, vanished without a trace. Geralt's only consolation was that his time wasn't wasted as he helped Triss escape the danger of being burned at the stake. Together with a group of similarly fated…
9 Hearthfire, 4E195 – Triss Merigold
"Time to go, sis," Geralt finished repairing his armour and turned his attention to the swords. "Ciri had gone to Novigrad, and I have to follow." He shook his head, watching Lena crushing roots for an infusion. "As it turns out, this whole outing to Velen was entirely pointless. Yennefer told me straight away that…
16 Sun’s Height, 4E195 – The sorceress from Vengerberg
"Mistress Vengerberg rode to Vizima," the commander of the occupying forces in White Orchard finally told Geralt, but only after Geralt took care of a griffin and a number of stray drowners around the village. "And yes, I could have told you this when you first asked. But would you have dealt with the griffin…
27 Second Seed, 4E195 – Returning memories
Returning to Loc Muinne city, Geralt got caught up in various aspects of royal intrigue again. However, his choices were easy: he helped Vernon track down and free the little girl who was the sole surviving heir of late king of Temeria. Surprisingly, the other kings accepted her as the legitimate heir. Of course, she…
21 Second Seed, 4E195 – The silver light of the moon
Geralt's meditation resembled sleep, and he even had dreams. Yet he remained sitting upright, propped on his heels, his legs folded. Keeping his head high allowed him to hear every minute sound and feel any change in air flow, all without waking up. If any of it was alarming, he would awaken - such was…
28 First Seed, 4E195 – It’s complicated
The ruined elven baths were peaceful. Geralt picked a flower from a rose bush and hoped that this was the famed Rose of Remembrance. It didn't make him remember anything and he didn't feel any different. He shrugged, disappointed. "Perhaps Triss needs to make a potion out of it or something," Lena gently touched his…
18 First Seed, 4E195 – Mirage
After the fight with the river beast, Geralt urgently needed a bath. But where would one find a bath house in a town like Flotsam? Going by the smell around most citizens, there wasn't one. So, as usual, Geralt went to the brothel. Brothels often provided more than one service, and they certainly had bathing…
12 First Seed, 4E195 – Siblings
"How old are you?" Geralt squinted at Lena, taking in her appearance. "You look... twenty. But you are not." "Perceptive," Lena smiled. "I've lived some hundred twenty to two hundred years." "You don't know?" "It depends whom you ask," Lena shrugged. "Time passes differently in other Realms." Lena already told Geralt about Tamriel and how…
12 First Seed, 4E195 – Flotsam (again)
"Come on, jump!" A voice jerked Geralt out of his slumber. He never liked boats - they made him queezy, and they'd been sailing on this one for several days already. Why did it move so slowly? But it seemed they finally arrived somewhere. Any land was going to be better than this. "Come on!"…
7 Sun’s Dawn, 4E195 – The Butcher of Blaviken
The Butcher of Blaviken opened one eye and looked at the man holding the heavy tapestry of his tent open. "King Foltest requires your presence, Sire," the man said without much conviction on the word "Sire". He looked at the red-haired woman on the luxurious bed in this tent fit for royalty, then dropped the…
3 Morning Star, 4E203 – Windstad Manor
Something in the appearance of the Jarl of Hjaalmarch in Morthal made Geralt want to fulfil the Jarl's request - go and look around the Windstad Manor. A path going into the moors was a good start, and Geralt took it. Geralt loved the moors since the first time he set foot in the area…
8 Hearthfire, 4E202 – Crystal Chasm
"So, what about these crystal formations?" - Lena put her hand on one protruding from a chasm just South of Falkreath. "They belong in the Shivering Isles' Greymarch - they are Jyggalag's, symbols of order or some such. They are not supposed to appear in Mundus, or to have any other meaning. I don't get…
7 Hearthfire, 4E202 – Falkreath
"Well, that's more like it" - Lena caught herself thinking as she woke up to the smell of fresh coffee at the Falkreath inn. Geralt was already up, and after breakfast they set off in search of any records of the Second Imperial Legion from about two hundred years ago. They started at the chapel.…
23 Last Seed, 4E195 – Keira’s Elven bath house
The embers in the fire grate were all but out when Geralt finally woke up from his meditation after the fight with the Pesta. The wind was howling in the trees outside, and Fyke Isle looked as desolate as ever. He didn't defeat the Pesta, he never thought he would - he just needed to…
22 Last Seed, 4E195 – Fyke Isle tower
"This tower is filled with wraiths" - thought Geralt, having fought off half a dozen of them in the entrance hall. "The baron, his family and his servants were slaughtered here by the angry mob - so we've got their wraiths and the wraiths of the dead intruders, too. But there is more - a…
21 Last Seed, 4E195 – Velen – Fyke Isle – Oreton
"Geralt! Just when I started to miss you" - Keira Metz greeted Geralt on the doorstep of her cottage just outside of Midcopse, Velen. "I have a favour to ask of you." "Of course you do" - grinned Geralt. "Let's hear it." "Bed bugs..." - Keira was lost in thought. "Excuse me?" "Bed bugs!" -…
2 Hearthfire, 4E202 – Siblings
Lena woke up in the Commander's quarters in the old Pale Pass Fortress after a long and restful sleep. Her trip to the Fade and subsequent wraith exorcism with Geralt left her thoroughly exhausted. She stirred in the bed and listened for any sounds from the other rooms, but all was quiet. Geralt must still…
16 Second Seed, 4E202 – A visit to the Skyrim assassins – About mother
"You thought I fancied you" - Lena whispered into Arnbjorn's ear locking his arm behind his back. "Why would I when I've got him?" Lucien readied his blade. "Who are you?" - asked Arnbjorn suddenly realising that his mistrust of Lena was well founded. Werewolves could sense things and he was the only one of…
24 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 – Dragons – The White Wolf
Later at Olav's the conversation was light, both Lena and Hauk avoiding the topic of dragons. Then Hauk could avoid it no longer. "Tell me about the dragons in Skyrim." "Well, there isn't that much to tell. I went over the border about a month ago - just before we met, in fact. You've heard…
28 Frost Fall, 4E201 – Skyrim – Geralt of Rivia
Lena Wolf got the itch to peek over the border to Skyrim after reading about those dreaded Skyrim bandits in the local paper. Some brave folks seem to have defeated them for now, so she made her way through the Pale Pass narrowly avoiding losing her head to Hadvar. Hehe. And guess who she runs…
12 First Seed, 4E195 – Flotsam
Lena Wolf returned from her stay in the Shivering Isles only to find that nearly 200 years had passed in Mundus in the meantime. She was no longer a "current" citizen, having missed the census for so long, and all her property had been repossessed by the Empire. Even her Mages Guild membership had been…
