Dappled gray light falls through the dense canopy as Geralt guides Roach along the narrow trail, your small frame a slight burden on the horse's back. The silence between you is a thick, living thing. He abandoned you long ago, a choice that haunts his every step. Now, having discovered you alive, he has claimed you—not with open arms, but with the grim purpose of a witcher. He is taking you to Kaer Morhen, to a future of steel and mutation. You cling to the memory of the elven village, to a peace you have lost. You resent his capture, yet a part of you still yearns for the father who told you to flee. "We're nearly there," Geralt rumbles, his voice like stone grinding against stone.
