Chereads / Assassin in The Witcher / Chapter 63 - The Lady

Chapter 63 - The Lady

Darkness is the only thing around me. Familiar Darkness because it has accompanied me most of the time. She hugged me with her hands, shielding me and distracting me from the true Darkness. The Darkness that plagues the heart of man. The man who persecuted my family and me just because we were different. Life threw their way, unlike mere mortals who could die from minor things.

Deprived of my family, Darkness took me under its veil, making me even more robust than the rest of my family. She taught me to use her power, to control the Darkness. She taught me how to manipulate shadows, discover my enemies' nightmares and use them against them. She educated me on the actual color of Man, who always shows himself as white. That he only does what he does for the world's good, but that's FALSE. He does it only to feed his Darkness, to make his sins grow. He did all of this to become what the brightest angel wanted to become, but Man became worse than him.

It's true. Why believe in the Punisher when the Fisherman does his job and better? The Punisher must still exist when the Fisherman has a more vivid imagination to punish himself. ANSWER, NO. The Punisher has no place to be, just like his Creator, who has no place to be when he let his Fisherman sons do what they wanted, DESTROY, DOMINATE all that nature brought. I SPIT in the face of this supposedly superior being, which is nothing more than a manipulative observer.

And again, I'm nice because it serves to observe when you KNOW EVERYTHING. You know what will happen, and even if we say that there is an infinity of universes, he can very well choose the path of the universe because he KNOWS everything. Hence, he knows that if he does such and such a thing, then the way of the world will go in this direction. A sense where he is still portrayed as a good and merciful being when he is none of those things. He would be if my family were still in sight. He would be if his subjects didn't destroy my world. He would have been if he had stopped them.

But did he, NO, of course not. He just enjoyed seeing my family burned at stake by his Order of religious fanatics.

When Darkness envelops me, I can still see his cursed crosses.

Darkness, sweet Darkness, you who always protected me, you who adopted me as your child. I will always love you because you taught me a lesson, the most important lesson of my life. That power satisfies above all and that if I have a strength, I can have everything.

Light brings Darkness

Darkness brings Truth

Truth Brings Determination

Determination Brings Power

Power Brings Peace

Peace brings Love.

"I miss you, mom and dad." A soft, melodic voice echoes in the Darkness.

'Cold, cold is the only thing that runs through my body. The cold woke me up. I open my eyes slowly. I have pain all over my body. I feel like a horse-drawn carriage has run over me. The room around me is empty. It is made of cold stone. The room is small and dark. It is clean enough for an unused room. There is a window that allows you to see the bottom of a mountain and a raging snowstorm.'

'I inspect myself quickly, and I don't notice any injuries. I still have my outfit but not my needles and my blades. So I have to go out and find Yen.'

I approach the door and open it slowly. I leave the room without the slightest sound and look at my surroundings. I am in a beautiful space. The hall is a large bedroom. The bedroom is a luxurious and warm fit for royalty.

The bedroom floor is solid wood. There are chandeliers, tapestries, and a living room. The tapestries and paintings represent a family or a woman at various periods of her life. In addition, many women's things are arranged on the wardrobes. This indicates that the person living there is probably a woman.

Several windows light up the room. I see no other door than the one I came from. I then stroll around the room, paying attention to every strange thing I see or hear.

'CLACK'

The loud noise of a door opening violently. I turn to my left and see a beautiful woman with black hair and green eyes. The woman has an aura of seduction that emanates from her. I can also feel a pull of my magic with his powerful magic.

(Woman picture)

When she sees me, a smile forms on her beautiful red lips.

"Ah, your man is awake, my dear." His voice rings in my ears like a sweet melody.

I then see the person she is talking to. This person is my wife, Yennefer Di Vine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

In the comfortable room of the hostess, three people are talking. A man and two women. Saibus shares a couch with Yennefer while the Lady takes the sofa across from them. In the center of the couch stands a black wooden table. On the latter, a silver tray is placed. A teapot and its silverware are placed on it. Each person seated has a tea glass. On the table, there is also a tray of treats.

"So, if I understand correctly, you became friends with Isabella while I was unconscious," says Saibus a little dubiously.

"Yes, when I woke up, I was greeted by Isabella. We talked for two days before you woke up."

Saibus frowns upon hearing the length of his coma.

"I was unconscious for two days and you two hours. Why? Why was I in a coma for so long," asks Saibus, intrigued and concerned about the length of his sleep.

"I can answer that question," Isabella replies.

"When you arrived in the room where you woke up, the protections of the castle activated. The protections are autonomous. They are more or less strong according to the strength of the intruder. The stronger the intruder, the more the defense is strong. This is done so that you don't spend a lot of magic on enemies that don't need it." Isabella says before taking a sip of tea and putting her cup on the tray.

"For your case, the defenses found you very powerful and then placed you in stasis. Only by talking with my dear Yennefer I remove the defenses, and your body grew stronger. Adapt. In doing so, you spent a day in stasis and a day asleep for your body to recover." Isabella declares to take a cookie.

"Well, I'm not going to dwell on that for the moment. I would rather know how you two became friends and if you are the person who caused the peak of magic that we felt, and where are we? ?" Saibus asks, addressing the purpose of their being here and the relationship between Yennefer and Isabella.

"When I woke up, Isabella took me to a small bedroom where we chatted. We got to know each other and became acquaintances." declares Yennefer, nibbling on a hazelnut cookie. Isabella nods to confirm Yennefer's words.

"To answer your question about magic, yes, I caused this magic explosion. And we are currently in my castle, which is on the mountain you climb before escaping in extremis from an avalanche." Isabella said with a smile.

"Did you bring us here? My portal was to take us somewhere near the island town," asks Yennefer intrigued.

"Yes, as I told you before, I am a very experienced magician, and one of my favorite magics is space magic. Triggered the avalanche. So I decided to bring you here to strike up a conversation with you and get some information about this world." Isabella replies quietly.

"We can give you information, but only if you give it back to us," Saibus said seriously.

Isabella nods. "This is planned. I understand that my entry into this world may worry the agencies that run it. I will answer your questions as best I can, and in exchange, I want to know everything I can about this world.

Saibus and Yennefer look at each other and give their agreements.

"Alright, then let's start with…." Isabella didn't finish her sentence as she abruptly turned her head behind her towards the small room where Saibus had woken up. From there, three people come out. These three people wear clothes with a cross as a symbol.
