Karen's pov: View attachment 43504 With Adelina being busy she did not think she should stay much longer. She watched Adelina worked at breaking down the meat, cooking it in different ways. That was when a squirrel showed up occasionally tossing it a nut or something that was laying around the kitchen. She took one last look at Adelina and put a hand on her shoulder. "I am sorry I was not there to save him." What was it like to talk to other animals? She had always wondered what it was like. Maybe it was a bit like Elvish. She could read and translate it. Perhaps that was what Adelina was doing. Perhaps it was not and she did not think she would ever know. It might be like trying to explain Elvish to someone. It always seemed imposable to anyone try and explain to unless they were a elf. With everything that she had used nice a clean it was time to go. She left the kitchen that Adelina was in and headed for the stairs hidden stairs that was the way out. She figured she should stop at her home and stock up on arrows and clean up. Once out of café she headed for her home. She opened the door and filled her quiver. She smiled at the now filled thing. Now she had to get cleaned up. She emptied her bag of everything she used on her trip. She then refilled it with supplies that she could use on her next trip. She took a shower, she was somewhat surprised all that dirt went down the drain. She put one clean clothes and headed for the door taking her things with her. She wondered if the king wondered where she had been all this time. She left her house locked the door behind her and began to look for where the king might be. Griffin's pov: View attachment 43503 He stood a tree. That was when some girl came by and started calling the king dad. Amber was her name. There was an attack from titans. This was interesting. The king was going to send some of then on a mission. He stood by ready to hear what to do.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43492 He never said they could or could not be changed. That there is no redemption. To say and kill someone was wrong. It was not Damian's or his place to decide the fate of someone else. That was what the dark guilds have done to him and if he pushed that fate onto them he was no better then them. Then Damian said, 'And people like you, are the very reason these people go on doing what they do! You just lock them up and don't do anything else with them, so they carry on! They need to know that their behavior is not tolerated and that the punishment is death!' He never locked anyone way. He was in a prison himself and did not what that on anyone and again it was not his place to lock them up. Who was he to decide such a fate? He had seen his whole guild destroyed and to have another one following that was just.. He could not put up with it. Damian was right in one sense, most of the leaders were so useless and did nothing. The same fate would come on this guild if nothing changed. He watched Damian leave. There was nothing that he could do for the man. It was his choice what he wanted to do and there was not much he could do to change his mind anyways. He had experience, he had power, and he had knowledge, but in the end what good was it if he did not have anyone to share it with. He picked up the newspaper that Damian dropped on his way out putting it in his bag. He then turned to Cassandra he had forgotten that she was there. He then cast a healing spell on her once more. "Rest well." He the took a hold of the door and locked it from the inside and closed the door behind him. Now what? He guess he should check on the guild hall. He walked down the stars spotting Calborn talking to Jack well there goes that plan of fixing the guild and telling what had happened in the room. The next thing was Alessia. He had wanted to ask her something when they had returned he spotted her and gave her a wave saying come find me when you are ready. Alessia looked busy anyways. Well that was two people down and he did not know what to do. He continued to walk then spotted some one he knew standing by a man. "Thea Strive" he said as he came up to her and the man that stood by. More then anything he wanted to know if she changed at all, she was after all from a dark guild.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43484 She stood by playing with her hair when she watched Derrick return and talk to Veceslav. She wondered if he had found the mage he was sent to look for. Mages were a tricky bunch. They always being able to disappear at a moments notice. Veceslav then said to Derrick, 'Derrick, you ploughing idiot, how many times am I going to have to punish you until you learn not to use that blasted sign on me' Axii if Derrick did indeed use the spell as Veceslav had said he was rather good at using it without being noticed. He then gave Derrick punishment of running the Gauntlet Twenty times. Her owner was kicking himself for being so stupid and felt that this was all his fault and should be punished for it not some role play character named Derrick. Her owner would never forgive himself for being so stupid and could not handle some taking the blame for her owners being stupid. That was when Veceslav came over and apologized for not recognizing her as the full fledged Witcher that she is. This surprised her at first, but her owner did not think that she deserved it. That was when Veceslav said that Derrick thought it funny to cast Axii on me to make me forget. That was not true it was her owner's stupid fault for not telling such a thing in the first place. She Watched Veceslav left leaving her to just stand there. Veceslav said he had something else to do. She wondered what it could be, but then decided that for now it did not matter that much. She just stood there not knowing what to do. She would just continue to play with her hair for now. Ava's pov: View attachment 43483 Novigrd was now a distant memory. Now all she had to do was find this small village and destroy it. Then she would take the gold and money she could find and move onto the next one. It should take all that long. When she was in Novigrd she told several people to met her at the village with the goods. All they had to do was sit it up, blow it up, burn it to the ground and move on. The village was not far now and it was getting dark and so the likely hood of being spotted was less.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43450 With Aaron leaving to do some unnecessary task because he agreed to and this old man still being rude there was not much to go for. Aaron, she was hoping to ask him if she could come along and met his sister. The way he talked about her she was sure she would like her What was she like? Aaron said something about her being older by four years or something like that which would but her at the same age as her. That was when the old man told Aaron his room was still there. Then he proceeded to yell at the mage who was saying he was doing something wrong. That when the old man started talking to her. She did not feel like explaining herself to some Witcher so she walked away. It was probably for the best anyways. What was the old Wither's name? 'V' something Veelv, no vesla, no, Veceslav that was it. She man need to learn some respect and some manners. Whoever taught this man manners need some major help as did Veceslav. She remembered that over the years she had seen him walk the halls. She then started playing with her hair not knowing what to do. That was when Derrick said it was indeed him. Apparently he had gone on adventure and was able to get some money from it. That was good for him. That was when Derrick left her standing by herself. She watch him go over to Veceslav to talk to him. She became said, after all these years and still she did not fit in. Was it because she was a girl? Was it because she could beat and boy at anything. When she was training as a Witcher she was the best in her class and no one could come near her scores. She had something that that did not and that was that she was simply that good and lucky. It would have been nice to catch up with the man after all these years of not seeing each other. What has he been doing all these years? She looked over to where Derrick was standing. There was on question that she wanted to ask him. If anyone knew the answer it would be him. She just stood there playing with her hair.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43448 (tldr) :p The Vellister family? He was trying to think about that name to see if it was some name he had seen somewhere before, but got nothing. Damian went on about my training and how his parents trained him. He guess it was rare for someone to go to a training guild. Training guilds were rare in of them self. He did not think that there was any left that still ran. Most now he figured that people just came to full fledge guilds Over the years at the training guild he noticed that less and lest people came to such a place. Banishment? Now that was interesting. It seemed that he did not want to talk about it and in some way he was banished too. He was not going to ask about it. After all it was not his place. 'I was only 13. Can you even imagine how grateful I was to this family?' "Can not say I do I left my parents at the age of three to train in the art of magic." There was some truth in it, but it was not the full story. Damian then went on about a family taking him in and they taking care of him. He then went on about saving a girls life. That she would have died if it was not for him. That was when Damian said he found what he wanted to do, that he wanted to help people. Apparently Damian traveled a lot going from town to town, village to village. 'I never asked for money, just supplies and shelter.' "That is quite noble." He then went on about retuning to his family. 'But those bandits deserve to burn in hell. People like them, who have no respect for human lives, who profit from the misery of others... no punishment on earth is enough to make them pay for what they've done. They all deserve to die. That's why I came here. I want to help the good, and rid the world of the cruel' "Is that what you really want Damian? To kill everyone that has done wrong? To kill someone you are in the wrong and then they kill you, and someone kills them and it continues on forever. There is no end to it. I am not saying they should go unpunished, but there are other ways then to just kill someone. You are no better then the bandits or a dark guild if you kill someone. I have seen countless dark guilds and countless evil people do things, but in the end I do not fight because I want to, but because I have to. I never aim to kill, but to stop those that would do harm. Then they can be locked away or whatever."
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43447 She watched some mage open a portal. This old man was staring to get on her nerves he needed to be taught some manners. He was by far the rudest person she had come across. 'Stay out of this peasant, an ordinary human breaking in here without the help of a mage is just utter bullocks, so stay quiet, I'll deal with you shortly.' There was no ordinary human here. "Excuse me, how dare you talk to me like that." She folded her arms over her chest. This man did not have a right to treat her like this. This man needed a check he did not know who he was talking to clearly. Perhaps it was simply that the man did not recognize her after all it been years sense she had been back to Kaer Morhen. The old man then give Aaron some sort of punishment. That was when the medallion on the old man moved. That did not make any sense. It only could find monsters. This old man was a Witcher or a old man that stole a Medallion off a Witcher. A Witcher would never let that happen so he was a Witcher. He was not a very good one, but a Witcher never less. Aaron was becoming nervous. She could tell just by looking at him. Aaron then accepted that punishment. What was he doing? Once a Witcher accepted any punishment it was law. She then turned to Aaron. "That will not be necessary." She knew how much seeing his sister had met to him. What was with the old man? He was a Witcher, but from where? She had not be to the training hall in years. People change over the years and she felt like she should know the man. Who was he? vverlk no something with a 'V' she was sure of it. The man looked like he was a 'V' person. She was sure that she had seen him around before. Where was her teacher? Her teacher should be around here somewhere. A man then came into the room. She then thought about the man. He looked like she had met the man before, trying to place the mans name. "Derrick is that you?" It must have been years sense she had seen the man.
Will's pov: View attachment 43444 He stepped though the portal. The portal closing behind him. He looked around. What happened? The building was gone. There in front of him was trees that grew ever which way. The grass looked like it has not been cut in years. The stone path was gone. What was left of the building way small and various vine and moss grew over the destroyed building. If he did not know better he would say that a war had happened. That was impossible. The mages were to powerful to be taken down so easily. So something big must have happened. Before he was sent of to look in the cave there had been talks about the rise of dark mages. The mages were worried, but it was nothing they could not handle. Right before he left they were going to set up a way to tack any mage so that if mage went down the wrong path they could easily find them. He was not sure it they started that up, but there was one way to find out. He walked around the destroyed building to find any clues. There what look be fire here at some point. The fire could have come from a mage or anybody else. He was not able to find anything right away. He continued to walk around. Something had happened to the magic council, but what. He continued to walk finding a cave near by. He must have found was use to be the basement of the magic council building. It looked like a bomb had gone off. Anyone that knew about this place would have a hard time finding it, if they wee walking to it. He was sure that only mages knew where the magic council was located. He continued to walk. If there was more mages like Yana then he would have to find more mages. It looked like people have not been here a look time. Teriana, while nice did not seem to be interested in the code of mages. He then came up to a large metal thing in the center. It was filled with some sort of liquid. There was various stones around it. The thing its self glowed from the sky above. He walked over to it. It was time to find some mages.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43440 Aaron said he was 19. So he was not that much younger then him. She could not see what was interesting about a library. Aaron enjoyed it and there was not anything she could say about it. Sure books were good and fun, but as a Witcher you had to read enough as it was. There must be something good if Aaron like this area so much. She followed Aaron through rows of book cases and around various corners, heading into deeper and darker area's of the library. Finally coming out at a back wall after going through a labyrinth of books. The back wall was covered in tapestry. Above it was a stain glass window casting a colourful glow on old intricately designed books. "You love art?" Then Aaron went on about going here to get away from things. "Sometimes you can not find peace and get away you just have to find somewhere no one goes." That was when they were rudely interrupted by some random old man. The man asked what they were doing there and something about rules. She almost laughed out loud. This man clearly needed his eyes checked. All they were doing was walking and talking and there was not rule about that. They were not being loud enough to be bothering anyone. She turned to Aaron and watched him fumble his words. Why was he just letting this old man get to him? She walked over to Aaron sanding by his side. Aaron answered this old man so there was no reason to be say anything. The rules were posted and the only one was about talking to loud. She was not going to answer some old rude guy questions she did not care who he was. He did not have a right to do what he did. This could have been handled a different way. Talk about rude he was loud enough to bother people working. This was a library not a football game. There was place for that sort of thing and this old man should know better. There was something she could do, being a higher rank Witcher the Aaron was she could get away with more. "Aaron is still learning like all new Witchers do. I told him to take me here and he had nothing to do with it. I forced my way in and Aaron had nothing to do with it." Maybe the old man would learn from this experience and be better for it she did not thing this would happen. "Lets go Aaron." She stood by his side ready to go.
Karen's pov: View attachment 43439 Adelina went and got her some food and brought it to her. She then said it might be cold. "I can go heat it up in a bit. Any food is good food sometimes." After what she had had out on her trip this would taste wonderful cold or not. It would be simple just start it up a fire and heat it up that was all there was to it. Adelina then went on about the hunters not coming back yet and thanked her for the food or something. "How long ago should the hunters have came back?" If it was only 30 minutes or so there was nothing to worry about. Maybe they were just running late, but if they should have been back hours ago then something maybe up. It could be anything from an angry mob to a titian. She hoped that they did not run into a titian. Adelina then said all she was a cook worker. "You are so much more then that. You can talk to animals, you care for the many things and I do not think there is nothing you would not do for someone." Adelina had so much more to offer. She could not see why Adelina did not see that. "Adelina you sell yourself short, do not do that. You are more then just a cook, you are a good friend." Adelina then went on about Issac dyeing. "I should have been here, I should have left sooner. I could have saved him." sadness in her voice. She then grabbed a rag from a counter to clean the blood from the table. She was to be back days ago and because she had stayed out someone had died. She then went to clean the table from the blood from her kill once that was done she put the rag back. She took one pan from the kitchen and put the cold food that Adelina gave her into it.. She walked to a location in the café where the was not anything burn able. She then started a fire in a pit. It should only take a few minutes to heat it up anyways. After that was done she put the fire out and put her food on the plate and ate it and it was good. It was far better then anything she had on the road. She walked into the kitchen and cleaned the pan and plate, putting them away. "Thank you for the food Adelina it was good."
Ethan's pov: View attachment 43432 He stood on the edge of the road and watched a women walk past him right before the first dog attacked him. What was he invisible? Oh that right, he had forgotten that he was wearing his invisibility cloak, how did he forget about the thing? He took off the cloak and that was when the first dog attack him. He was going to put it away for later when another dog came out of nowhere destroying the cloak oh well. He sent this one flying to a near by tree with a rock. He took farther steeps to, but himself on the dirt road. He then looked the farm town not far from where he was standing. He watched at a portal open up and two men come out. For the most part he ignored what was going on. He had to face the fact that no one was going to help him. He was starting to get use the fact and tuned to head in the opposite direction. He then spotted the leftover parts of fluffy. There was glowing orbs one brown and one a mixture of colors he was about to take hold of one when a another dog came out from nowhere. Should he yell for help or what? He did not know what to do. His eyes glowed still throwing a rock at the beast. It was starting to get dark. Will's pov: View attachment 43433 He stood at hill waiting for his water to take hold and reveal something. He was not sure what he would find, but the hill was not here the last time he was here. So something had to make it. Well the last time he was here there was a small village here and now there was nothing, but a field. It was not like a earth mage was going to fall out of the sky. Maybe it could. It was not likely that a earth user would just He was able to reveal enough of arm. He took a closer look at the arm. There was burn marks. So some sort of fire happened here and by the sate of the body it been some time. He need some answers and knew just where to find them he opened a portal hoping the next place was not in the same state as this one. He stepped though the portal it closing behind him.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43431 "Assuming that can be good or bad. your past is what makes you who you are but it not who you will be or are." He had to say he was staring to like Damian despite what had happened the last few minutes. "It stay on you forever, but it some ways I feel like he could be alive. As for how he could be I can not say." Bryce, if he lived would it be any different? Would he have come here? It was sopost to be him that died. He jut let Bryce take the fall. Bryce was the one tat told him to run, but he did not have to follow that. He then threw the paper he was holding at Damian. "They where killed by a dark guild like the one in that story." Newspaper: The newspaper was odd and faded Training guilds and what happens Summer 8 years agoEvery wizard guild has a story today we look at a training guild that we are not sure what happened. We found out of this training guild which we name to withhold the name so it will be referent to number 7. It Seems that this guild sent a large amount of people to Walking Planes. We went there and found that every single person that went died. This guild was well know for its high skilled mages. There was at least 20 people on said mission, authorities were unable to find all bodies but we are sure there are not survivors. Later we found out that number 7 was attacked by a dark guild. The result after all of this is that with the mission and the guild being attack all member died. All 50 people from this guild is presumed dead at this time. The only person uncounted for is the guild master who went missing. For someone to take out a guild of this size it would have had to be a powerful dark guild. Ander: "I figured that Johanna can take care of herself, but with the resent happenings at the guild I am not so sure anymore. I have been questioning if I should be here. I could tell you countless things about magic, but in the end does it matter? What abut you Damian? Every person has a story what is yours?" He was now interested in Damian's past. Sure he traveled, but what else was there? "So what do you want to do about Johanna?"
Ander's pov: View attachment 43430 'Please stop it, I've been healing people for most of my life, I know all about people, what makes you think you do? have you trekked from village to village helping the sick and saving livestock? have you saved lives?' "I spent over 20 years of my life training in magic reading countless books. I traveled for years saving and healing people so, yes a may know a thing or two about healing people or saving lives. I lived it. I seen countless people die. My family killed. The saddest part is I could have save them. I was met to lead them, but they... I did not stop it. There are some people that you can not save, but the few you can but don't is what I remember the most." He pulled out the key around his neck and looked at it then put it back. Damian then asked who was in danger. "I do not know for sure, but it was most random. Mikasa took a women, by the name of Johanna somewhere. While I can't say she is in danger. It seemed forced to me. It could be nothing, but it could be something more." After the guild master just letting cal get way with betraying the guild he would not put it past another guild member to do the same.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43429 He had to say that he was really disappointed with Damian' s answers. He was hoping for a better one at least. He sat in the chair with the old newspaper in his hand. Maybe to brake the curse on him all he had to do was make someone angry enough they would kill him, nah there was no way someone like him would be lucky. Braking the curse was imposable or right now it was. Maybe he would just have to live with it. He was so tired of fighting it at this point he did not know what to do. "Good, good." He was not really caring. He wanted to help people, but there was nothing he could do to help someone that chose to do bad things to themselves. 'No, I don't know what happens to a mage that uses up all their magical energy, I'm a doctor not a wizard' "Damian everyone here is a wizard, sure some have magic so do not, but in the end we all people. To be a doctor you just need to know medicine right? No it not just that. You can know everything about being a doctor, but what good does it do you if you do not know the person? Sure you might be able to help them, but in the end you are not really healing them. It takes just more the a doctor to heal a person. Not everything is simple. Every question has answer you just have to find it. People matter Damian. Know your patient not just the medicine. Anyone can be what they want but not everyone can be what they will. Not everyone can strive to be that one that it more about that person then what they can see. Most of all some people are just broken and no magic or medicine can fix that." He was taking about himself more then anything. Then Damian asked what had happened to Cassandra. "What happened to Cassandra? What happened to Cassandra is what happens to mages that do not hold back some magic. She used to much of her magical energy at one time when we were fighting. I do not know if it has ever happened by a mage that uses all there magic up is said to die. Well that is what the stories say anyways." Then he had the look that said he remembered something. He would just have to trust Damian and hope for the best. "Damian one member is in trouble and I fear for there safety." He would just have to wait to see if he wanted to go or if he should.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43428 He sat in the chair looked at Damian. He was hoping for something more from the man, but whatever. He seemed to be a man of few words. 'I don't usually drink, ever, I uh, just decided to see what it was like' He raised a eye brow. The young person would have to learn at some point it was better now before he went to far down that road. After some time there would be no turning back. Save the man now so he could be better for latter, or something like that. "That is where it starts. You try one thing then another and another and it continues to go on. Where does it stop? Where does it end? You say to yourself that it will only be this one time, but it never is. It is a dangerous road." He was just giving the man some friendly advice. Then Damian said he was new to the guild. This did not surprise him in the slightest. What would it be this time? A person that could not control there magic, a person trying to take the guild down or perhaps it betray the guild in some way. Ever new person that joined the guild tat he had met so far as turned out to be doing something that would not fly if he was back at his own guild. He would just have to keep his guard up. Evanora had let some questionable people in this guild and this man should not be treated any different. The first people that came in first was by far the safest. That said not even the first people where completely for the guild. After Calxiyn betrayed the guild there was no telling what anyone would do and he would just have to keep and eye on everyone. He could not trust anyone with that with Evanora letting just anyone in he was question if this was the safest place. "Tell me Damian, do you know what happens to a mage that uses all there magical energy?" It of course almost never happened, and most mages never really go that far, but from what he could tell it was possible. Then the man wanted to know his name. "Names have power, but it is Ander, Ander Windfire. There a reason for that..." For the most part he was ignored or it should not be surprising that he never saw him.
Will's pov: View attachment 43423 He stood at the open portal thinking back to the cave. There was someone going in, but he should not worry about it to much. There was Yana he thought about telling the man about the crazy person in there, but if he and any sense he would not stay for long. He looked back to the cave once more before steeping though the portal it closing shorty after he steep though. He looked around. He ended up in the middle of some sort of field. This was not the right place at all. He was sure where he wanted to go, so why was he here? He looked in every direction hoping he was off by a little. He kept on looking as far as he could see there was just a open field in every direction. He must have put himself way off then because he wanted to go to the village he grow up in and this place was not it. This time before he opened the portal he thought about where he wanted to go. The portal opened up and he steep though. He found himself in the exact same spot and he closed the portal. Now he was sure he was in the right place, but where was the village? There was nothing but open fields. Something was not right. He continued to walk to he found a rather large hill by a stream. There was something he could find out about digging this up he could possibly find out what happened to his village. So with that he held up his staff and the water moved towards the hill moving the dirt that was around it. This was going to take forever. What he would not give for a earth mage. It would go by faster. All he had to do was move enough to see what was going on. Ethan's pov: View attachment 43422 The forest went on forever. He kept on Walking and walking. He then past a rock that looked like a rock he past hours ago. Well there was noting left to do, but keep on walking and that was that. He did it just for the hope of finding his way out. Then he walked into a clearing. There was what looked to be fire that was put out not to long ago. Well if he kept on walking sooner of later he would find his way out if he kept on walking in a direction. After what seemed to be forever he walked out of the forest. He found a dirt road not to far from the forest. In the distance he could see a women. Finally he saw a person. Then he made his first mistake, he put fluffily down to wave to the person. A Rabid dog came leaping out of the forest over his head. The rabid dog soon took a hold of fluffy and started banging it around like a dog toy. The stuffing flying everywhere. "Leave fluffy alone." He yelled at the dog. The dog soon took its hungery eyes on him. It jumped.. "Stop" His eyes glowing. Soon he lunched a large rock at the dog sending it flying into the air. Then when the dog cm down again he lunched it back up with another rock. The dog was probably dead by now, but he was not aware of it. In memory of fluffy Oct 2- Oct 26 2015 Rip:
Karen's pov: View attachment 43421 "Sorry Adelina I thought I would be back sooner. I know I should have been back days ago. I was out looking for something. Anything that was interesting all I found was a large forest that went on forever." There was the smell of left over lunch still in the café stopping her from talking anymore. "Adelina, you do not happen to have any left over food do you? I cooked on the go, but your food is so much better then what I could get out there." She the looked at the meat on the table. "I brought you a gift, Adelina." Then she realized the blood was still on the table. "Oh sorry about the mess. I will get to that shorty. It nothing compared to the way I look anyways." She was trying to make a joke about how dirty she looked. She could not even thing about her smell. The one that was coming off her. After five days or so she got use to the smell so she stopped smelling anything other then her cooked food days ago. She felt bad for Adelina, but outside there was no plumbing. What was she sopost to do? Out there you just had to deal with what you came across. "Try not to breath to much." After being gone so long she wonder what the people have been up to. "So how are you?" Was anyone hurt while she was gone? "Is anyone hurt?" Having not used her magical healing voice in some time she wondered if she would have to use it. She looked around the empty café. "Everyone is out I am guessing. Where the welcome home party? The cake and the streamers. This will never do." She then let out a laugh. It was nice to be joking around with someone after being gone so long. "Where is everyone?" She was hoping they did not go out and training without her. She was to be back to go out looking with some others, but seeing as she go back late she was sure they were gone by now. She was hoping to go out with them oh well maybe another time. "How is the king doing? I missed everyone it is nice to see you."

She did not think that he looked to be that much younger then she was. "So how old are you?" She asked him more curious then anything. Then Aaron said something that she was not expecting. 'If not that then there is always the fact that there is a guy without a shirt walking around with a pretty girl.' She stared to blush. At first she did not know how to respond. Was Aaron hitting on her? He did just call her pretty and he was indeed shirtless. She thought they might be jealous, but of her? Why? She just thought of herself as average and nothing special. In fact she did not really have anything going for her. Sure she was a Witcher, but that was about it. Keep it cool Olivia. Thinking to herself it is not everyday some guy, a good looking guy, but a guy comes and said you are pretty. She just continued to walk as she thought. Keep it smooth. "You re not bad looking either." Wow Olivia mentally face palming. That was anything, but smooth. Why did she have to open her big mouth? That was pretty stupid. Whelp now she had to say something to recover from that. "Not that you where bad looking before." Oh my god. Why did I have to go and say that? Stupid, Stupid, stupid. She became rather nervous. She wondered if Aaron could tell. If there was anything to go by she could tell and now she would never forgive herself for saying something so stupid. "Um yea, lets go." She continued to walking feeling like a complete idiot. "So what is in the library that is so interesting?" Then she continued to follow Aaron. What could be in a library? There was books and that was about it. She hoped that Aaron was not going to show her some book that would be a let down, well not as big of a one that she just did on herself, but one all the same. Maybe there was a secret basement or perhaps she should just wait until they got there and just let it be a surprise.
Ava's pov: View attachment 43418 She walked the outskirts of Novigrad. She soon found that it was much more trouble then it was worth to destroy Novigrad. There was guilds and people everywhere. Any chance to burn this town down was a death sentence. At one point she could here the sound of screams and someone knocking on a door in the distance. She had thought about checking it out, but there were far to many people and guards to get away. There was also the chance to run into a Witcher and she did not need that. A Dropper killing a Witcher was not unheard of but unlikely. This was something she was not going to take a chance with. While she could fight she really did not want to fight a Witcher. While she wanted to ruin this man's reputation, it was better to be alive then dead. It that fool ever escaped from his icy prison everyone would hate him or so she hoped. That was her goal to ruin everyone life or as many people as she could. She has been doing it for years turning to someone ruin their reputation until the was nothing left of the person then move onto the next person. If the person was alive they did not stay that way for long. A smile on her face as she walked on the outskirts of Novigrad. She did not do it for money she did it because she liked the entertainment that came from putting someone else's reputation down. This time Novigrad was lucky not many towns or place got the mercy of Ava Cross. They should be thanking her, but not in this form. She decided that it would be far more beneficial to destroy the farms and small villages first then move onto the bigger towns and cities. She walked out of the town heading off in a random direction. While in Novigrad she was able to find a map of the area around the town. She picked a small village not to far from Novigrad. Next time you will burn Novigrd, She thought to her self. It was better this way anyways the likely hood of running into a Witcher in a random village was far les likely then in a town.
Sometimes the light is hard to find, but all you have to do is look for it :)
Karen's pov: View attachment 43357 She had left Kaynta days ago. She was unsure if it was four days or five. It could have been more for all she knew. She had lost count after the third day. When she left Kaynta she had he arrow quiver full to the brim. All she had took with her was her weapons her 3d maneuver gears and some thing to start a fire. She also had something to make any water she found on her trip drink-able. The drinkable container she had was all but on its last use. She had left Kaynta with enough supplies to last a week or so. She could eat and drink on the go. She was by no means as good as a cook as Adelina, but she was able to get by so far. She could sleep in the trees just fine. She was in a forest in a unknown location. Her little trip to this forest was somewhat not at all that interesting in any way. She had gone off to find a destroyed town or anything. She just ended up finding nothing. The one thing that was for sure was there was nothing in this direction. Well that was if you counted a forest as nothing. There was no town no titans nothing but endless trees. She looked at her arrow quiver the supply of arrows was getting low. She continued to walk in the forest to she came to some sort of winding river. She looked at her reflection. Her face was smudged with dirt and mud. Her cloths clothes were all different colors from the days of wearing them. Her blue top looked a darker blue. The gold rim looked brown. She then looked to her hair. Her once blond hair was now a brown color and was tangled and just a mess. In short she looked bad. She took a look at her supplies. Her matches and water tablets were all but gone. She guessed she should head back to Kaynta. She could not stay out there forever. She came across some animal running in the woods. Taking out she bow she killed it. She then cut it up and carried it with her. She made her way to kaynta a tree she knew all to well not far off. She made her way to the tree see a man with a pointy hat leaving. She made her up the stairs. The café was oddly empty. "Adelina" She called. "Are you here?" She then put her kill on a table. A little blood getting over the newly cleaned surface. Oh well Adelina was sure to forgive her. She wonder if she would recognize her after all she looked like a mess. She had never seen the café so empty before, perhaps everyone was out.
