Vincent talking to Ciri

Geralt was done with scolding Ciri as he walked towards the group with Trish and says, "Alright, I gave her an earful of scolding. She will think twice before she does something like that again."

"We should leave then," says Vincent as he was thinking of making a Family Tree similar to the one in this safehouse.

They were about to leave when Vincent finds a portray of Ciri and asks, "Is this Ciri?"

"No, if I had to guess it is her Ancestor, Lara Dorren. Avallac'h thinks to believe that Ciri is her reincarnation since they are almost the same," says Yennefer as she looked at the portray and could understand why Avallac'h would think like that.

Vincent put it back and says, "It must be important to him if he has it in this safehouse instead of laying around somewhere else."

"But we should examine him since he seems too obsessive over that Lara. The whole safehouse smells like it is an altar for her," says Vincent as it wasn't really a good thing to be obsessive over a dead person.

Vincent walked to the entrance and waited there with Mina leaning against a wall when the other four came out and Vincent stopped Ciri.

"Now is the time to talk," says Vincent as Ciri couldn't look at him when he turns to the others and says, "We will be right there in a moment. We need to resolve this before we leave here."

They seemed to understand that and walked outside of the cave to secure that the boat was still there while Vincent leaned against the wall and tells Ciri to join him.

She leans against the wall and feels chill pass her back but not because of Vincent but because the wall was ice cold when Vincent says, "When I need to think about something I normally go to the coldest place I know."

"The Throat of the World?" asks Ciri as Vincent nods.

"Yes, it makes me forget who I am in this world. That's why I moved my house to the peak of the mountain at one time," says Vincent as Ciri was waiting for a scolding.

"I won't scold you for what you have done but I need you to understand that what I did was give the people a message about what happens if they attack a person from the Empire so they know that it could happen to them as well," says Vincent as he sighs.

"Do you know that I once swore that I would become a Tyrant if my people could live a peaceful life? I have done many bad things in my life and will continue to do them so my people can continue with their peaceful lives," says Vincent as he was talking calmly.

"Do you know why I unified Tamriel?" asks Vincent as Ciri thought she knew the answer.

"It's because of the Amulet that you are carrying around your neck," says Ciri making Vincent smile as he pets her head.

"No, the real reason was because of Mina and my family. I didn't even want to leave the house until Mina and Elisif gave birth but Karliah informed us that the Thalmor were planning an offensive against the Mede Empire and we couldn't wait. We had to strike while the iron was hot," says Vincent as he looked at the entrance to the safehouse.

"I have more blood on my hand than any other living person but a ruler sullied his hands with blood so his people don't have to. I sullied my hands with blood so that the people that come don't have to fight in wars and can live in peace. I didn't want to train any of my children but the world we lived in back then was far more dangerous than your world is right now," says Vincent as he showed Ciri his vision by using illusions.

"I want for the future generation to not have to fight but they should always be prepared to hold a weapon in their hand since peace can only be achieved when you are prepared to sully your hand with the blood of your enemy," says Vincent as he showed Ciri his last stand against Nidhogg in Hydaelyn next.

"For a better future for my people and Dragons I gave my life and in the future, I will do the same again," says Vincent foreshadowing his future death which he read in that cursed book.

"I would do anything so my family, my people don't have to suffer and if someone goes against it I will show them that there is a fate worse than death," says Vincent as he now looked at Ciri.

"I don't want your forgiveness and I don't want you to feel guilty about going against me or feel ashamed of it. Many people went against me and they came from my family but I made them understand that sometimes you need to be the villain to become the hero in the end," says Vincent as he then moves forward.

"Think about what I told you and look for your own answer then no god or devil can cement your path except the person that is standing in front of me," says Vincent as he reached the exit and turned to Ciri telling her with his look that her destiny isn't written down but is chosen by those who fight against it.

Vincent leaves the safehouse and Geralt walks towards Vincent not seeing Ciri he asks, "And Ciri?"

"She needs a moment to think about what I told her," says Vincent as he walked towards a rock and sat down on it.

"What did you tell her?" asks Yennefer worried when Vincent smiles at her.

"I just told her what she needed to know about me and that no one can decide her future since it is hers," says Vincent as he uses Aura Whisper again to see if there are still creatures in the water.

He sees some monsters but they were now calmer than before as they were swimming around normally when Mina asks, "What are you seeing?"

"Some strange fishes swimming around the water bank waiting for something," says Vincent which took the attention of the two Sorceresses and Witcher.

"Sirens," says Geralt pulling his Silver Sword out when Vincent stops them.

"They haven't attacked us. Aren't you Witchers people that let life if they don't harm anyone?" asks Vincent as Geralt nods putting his sword back.

"But if they attack we will be prepared," says Geralt as he didn't trust the current situation of the Sirens not attacking them.

"If they do we will take care of them," says Vincent as he didn't see them as a threat.

He sat back down and soon a new Ciri walked out of the exit. She seemed more determined than before and her eyes were full of willpower when she walked to her parents.

She gave them a big hug before saying, "Before we return I need to meet someone."

"Who do you want to visit?" asks Geralt as he was nervous she would mention someone Yennefer and Geralt met some months before to find Ciri.

"Skjall, he is a warrior from Lofoten under Jarl Heymaey," says Ciri as Yennefer and Geralt were pale after heating the name.

"Is something wrong?" asks Ciri seeing both this pale

"Skjall is dead. He was killed by a Werewolf. We found his remain," says Geralt leaving out the part in which Yennefer summoned his soul using black magic.

Ciri was sad about this discovery when Vincent says, "Then there is still the grave we can visit. I give everything I have to see the graves of my fellow brothers and sisters."

"Yes, the grave can we visit it?" asks Ciri of Yennefer and Geralt as they nod at her before Yennefer opens a portal which everyone went through it even Geralt.

They arrived at the village of Lofoten which was still recuperating from its attack of the Wild Hunt. Ciri felt sorry because it was her fault when she feels a hand on her shoulder.

"The success and failure we committed are ours. Brand this picture into your head and never forget it so the next time you have to choose you make the right decision," says Vincent to Ciri as he passed her.

Ciri was looking around looking if Astrid and her mother are alright. It took some time until she found them followed by Geralt, Yennefer, and Triss, while Vincent and Mina were a bit outside the village waiting for them since they were on the path that leads to the Graveyard.

They see Ciri storm of towards their direction in fury making Vincent worry as he thought he has done something wrong again. But Ciri just passed him as she went near the Graveyard but followed the way further and then turned right.

"Something is off," says Mina as now Yennefer and the others came towards them.

"What happened?" asks Vincent as he looked at them.

"They didn't bury Skjall in the graveyard since he ran away from the battlefield when the Wild Hunt attacked the village. What they didn't know was that he helped Ciri escape the Wild Hunt," says Yennefer and Vincent finished her sentence.

"And this made her furious. She must have gone to get his remains," says Vincent as he would have done the same if someone dares to rob someone he knows of their final rest.

"We should get her and bury the remains even if we have it to do it Arkay's way," says Mina as Vincent nods.

"Arkay's way?" asks Geralt as Vincent nods.

"Arkay is the Divine that rules over the Cycle of Life and Dead," says Vincent as he explained what he meant with Arkay's way.

"You want to give him the last rite of passage from another God?" asks Yennefer as Vincent nods.

"At least we know that our Gods exist compared to the ones here. I haven't met one until now," says Vincent as he really didn't meet one.

Ciri returned holding the remains of Skjall as she passed them when they followed her into the Graveyard knowing that it will bring trouble towards them.
