Chapter 10

(Forgive me for the errors, because I am not English and I am helped by 2 correctors, I try to limit the errors)

"Where am I" this question has been haunting me for a long time because after seeing the man waving at me, I woke up here in a dark area where there was no noise or presence, it was oppressive?

But suddenly I found two strings 1 white and 1 black, but it absorbed or rather copied the white because, in addition to the black colour on the rope, it was white, intrigued by what was happening I approached the strings but closer and closer I could see a purple rope and a black rope that surrounded the 2 strings waiting almost the moment when they would be accepted

I was getting closer but suddenly a shrill cry sounded, and as I looked up, it was an eagle looking down, then slowly descending to my level until it reached my height.

Impressive because the eagle was a little bigger than me when I was going to ask where I was, A swallow came down on my head then went to bed and rubbed her head as if she lacked love so after the swallow a crow landed on my left shoulder and when I looked at him he pricked my face and turned his head when he saw that I felt nothing then I felt a caress on my leg to see a black cat looking at me and then with a big jump to land on my right shoulder moving his head towards mine; Then I heard her purring

But seeing this, the raven began to push my left shoulder and asked me to pat her, as the swallow continued to roar with joy.

But as I was having fun with these animals, the cry of the eagle awakened them, and then the swallow flew over the eagle's head like the cat and the raven seriously looked at the eagle

Seeing that the party was over, I finally asked the eagle where I was, showing myself a white area that started to extend here.

"How come it's not cold here?" as if to answer my question, the cold got more violent, and I felt something else than the cold, I felt.

"Death?"

"Is it possible?"

The eagle looked seriously at the white area and the swallow landed next to the eagle in one shot the eagle loaded the white area with the swallow just behind the cat and the raven looking with a worried look

Then, as soon as the birds reached the white zone, an explosion sounded, and I felt sucked, the only thing I remember was the call of the birds

----------------------------

But while Aiden was being deported, no one noticed that the black and white rope was starting to freeze.

What the hell is this?

----------------------------

I woke up with a headache and by putting my hand on my face trying to catch my breath, I did not notice that my breath was not hot but cold until this little element disappeared without leaving a trace

"A nightmare?"

When I heard the voice, I tried to stand up to protect myself, but I felt a pain in my lower abdomen that made me sit down again.

"Don't force, you're hurt."

"Why did you save us?"

"Ciri didn't say anything about me?"

"No."

"Mmh and now" then the face removed its hood and a face with cat eyes and quite young emerged, but especially that white hair tied in a duvet I widened my eyes because although the appearance did not look like it at first, I quickly made the distinction.

"Geralt?"

"Looks like you know me."

"Yes, Ciri told me that a man with white hair came to tell me that he was her child of destiny."

"Indeed, it is something like that"

"So how are you feeling?"

"Bad, but I'm fine."

"I see, I think I did the right thing by taking you, it keeps me from getting his head drooling over me."

Saying that, I turn my head to a Ciri who put his head on my drooling shoulder

"Forget it, Ciri is like that"

"You seem to get along well, maybe, do you have any stories to tell me about her?" Geralt said it with hesitation, but strangely, I knew he really wanted it, I thought I was going to meet another Geralt, but he didn't seem to be the good old Geralt who was worried

Then I told him about Ciri's childhood, how we met and all the time we spent together.

"Mmh, tell me Aiden, where do you want to go?"

"What?"

"I mean, you're not bound anymore, she's not just princess Ciri."

"I know what you mean, but I don't think I'm going to part with her" I looked at her and a smile appeared on my face, but I looked seriously at Geralt, as I lowered my head and asked her.

"Teach me to fight."

"Unfortunately, this is not possible because ..."

But I interrupted him by saying more seriously.

"Please make me a wolf school witcher."

I saw a dangerous face appear on Geralt and said in a dark voice.

"Are you sure about this?"

"You will feel unimaginable pain because of the potions, you will feel lonely, feared by all, because recognized as a monster..."

"I know I wouldn't understand, but I need strength more than a human, a werewolf? Am I going to lose my head, knight?" I don't even know if I have enough power to serve a king. I served one, and that's enough, please, I just want to get stronger so that I can at least protect my loved ones."

Seeing Geralt looking at me without saying anything, I started to worry, but after several minutes he finally talked

"We'll see on the road, I'll test you and if you don't meet the requirements then don't you dare repeat to pass the herbal tests included?"

"Yes."

"Good now, sleep tomorrow we have a long way ahead of us"

Then I went back to bed and took Ciri in my arms.

-----------------------

When I heard the boy sleeping, I couldn't help but make complicated eyes, as I almost agreed to give him a chance to pass the plant tests.

"Me and my bloody curiosity," I sighed, as I accepted, because my instinct tells me that Aiden has more than what is more a diamond that does not shine and is not polite.

You can't underestimate the instincts of a witcher, because they've been reinforced on this since the weed trial the more we're trained to work with instinct

"Well, let's stop thinking about it, we'll see tomorrow if Aiden has the guts" and then I sat down further putting my legs in meditation and then I cleared my head to reach the full meditative.
