"I have a job for you Witcher. A real monster for you to kill. A humankind. Its name is Renfri." Elena felt Geralt's body tense. She shakes her head in horror at the old man. "No your wrong she isn't a monster!" She growls out in anger.
"Oh but she is. You ever heard about the curse of the black sun? First full eclipse in 1,200 years. It marked the imminent return of Lilit, demon goddess of the night sent to exterminate the human race. According to the wise mage Eltibald, Lilit's path was to be prepared by 60 women wearing gold crowns who'd fill the river valleys with blood."
Geralt shook his head while humming. "Doesn't rhyme. All good predictions rhyme." Stregobor steps closer to him before continuing to speak. "I studied the girls born around the black sun, and I found horrendous internal mutations among them. I tried to cure them, locked them in towers for safekeeping, but the girls always died."
"That's a myth!" Elena says but he ignores her. She couldn't listen anymore and decided to walk away from Stregobor and left Geralt there to deal with him. Elena wanders around the place looking at every detail. She bends down and picked up a flower that was on the floor, she twirls it around her fingers looking at the color of the flower.
Elena didn't think that anyone was behind her until she heard a rough voice speak, "We're leaving." She knew that it was Geralt so she nods her head and turn towards him unaware of how close he was behind her. Geralt was a few feet taller than Elena so she had to look up and he had to look down.
Elena looks into his beautiful golden eyes not blinking once, just getting lost in them. He takes a step back and the trance that they were in was long forgotten. "Lead the way," she says and he begins to walk while she follows closely behind him. "Do you believe that she is a monster?" Elena whispers to him to only see his whole body tense up again. "No." That was his reply to the question.
Both Geralt and Elena left the place and walk towards Roach and the girl who was keeping her company. "Thank you for looking after her." Geralt gruffly says to the girl, she nods her head with a smile and starts to walk away from them.
"Where are you off to now?" She asked. "The woods to camp out," Geralt says. 'It must be really hard to be Witcher since most people think that they are monsters who have no emotions and it is horrible the way people treat them when they are the ones who kill monsters to protect us.' Elena thought to herself.
"If you want you can come back to mine? You're more than welcome to stay." She offered him, hoping that he would take the offer. "Thanks but I'd like to be alone." Elena gives him a weak nod along with a small smile on her face. "Well, Witcher it has been great meeting you." She gives him another small smile before walking away from Geralt and Roach back to her empty cottage.
"Wait!" Elena turns around to face Grealt. "Are you sure it isn't any trouble?" He awkwardly asks. She only smiles and shakes her head, "not at all Geralt." Elena says grinning at him. "I have a small cottage that is away from the main square of the village. It's peaceful and no one will bother us." Grealt nods his head and pulls Roach along with him to catch up to Elena.
"Want to get some food and a drink?" He hums in response. They walked back into the tavern and sat down at a table this time. "I'll go get us some food and drinks," Elena says and gets up from her seat and walk over to the bar. Geralt watched her gracefully glide up to the bar. There's something about her that memorizes him, whether it's the way she acts or how people seem to be drawn to her.
"Back again?" A female voice spoke. Elena turns her head to see that it was Renfri who spoke out. She didn't believe the stupid wizard and what he had to say about the woman standing next to Her. Elena didn't believe for a second that she was the monster the delusional man stated to Geralt. "Yes, decided to grab something to eat and drink. Would you like to join me and Geralt?" Renfri gives Elena a cheeky smile and accepts her offer.
"Can I get three plates filled with food and some drinks?" Elena says softly to the barmaid who happily obliges. Elena nods her head toward the table where the witcher and her are currently sitting to show Renfri. Both women walked side by side to the table and sat down next to each other across from Geralt.
"Look who I found!" Elena happily says to Grealt who only grunts in response. "Don't worry he's always like this I'm pretty sure," she says to Renfri who laughs. The barmaid soon comes over with the food and walks back to get the drinks.
"Drink up my friends!" Elena says just as the barmaid puts down the drinks and she reaches out to grab one for herself and down it with a large gulp.
