"Oh.. I see.." She said, frowning again.

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"Is it because of that journal..?"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"I have seen it as it has been inhabited by the Elven Sage for a while.. It is not what I remember.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"I don't believe i ever met Dandelion.. but i knew Geralt.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She frowned, looking away. "Because to Dandelion, he /was/ a hero. He saved Dandelion's life. And asked for nothing in return that day.. But he was more a mercenary than a hero.. He did what he was paid to do. And usually kept his qualms to himself.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She stopped for a moment before sighing and shaking her head.. "The man you read about.. wasn't a hero.. He just wanted to be a man.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"Like what?!" She Asked, glaring to him still.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"No! And if you attempt to go through the trial, then you will die a painful death!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"No! Nobody that was a Witcher did it by choice! And no one that was wanted to make more!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"If you truly plan on bringing back the trials, then I hope you fail in fiery glory.. The ingredients can't be found either.. they went extinct due to Witchers.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"Because I was killed fighting a basilisk and reborn without my mutations! This is /my/ gear! /I/ went through the trials! /I/ survived them!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"You IDIOT! You used a steel sword!! You can't be one! You're already too old!!" She yelled out, glaring to him.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She scowled, moving to slap him. "Then you are NO Witcher! Your sloppy swordplay and lack of knowledge proves that enough! If you were smart, you would let Witchers /DIE/!!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Her eyes widened. "Geralt?! You claim your mentor was Geralt?!" She asked, glaring to him now. "... if this is true, then what are your plans, wearing his armor...?"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"No, you aren't! Because I am the /last/ Witcher! The Trial of Grasses has been lost for millenia!" She yelled out, grabbing at the pendant.. "Whose was this?!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"What are /you/ doing?! You shouldn't be wearing this armor.. Or that pendant!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"Your.. mentor..? Who?!" She asked, moving to grab at it..

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She looked him up and down.. "Where.. did you find that gear..?" She asked, frowning

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She frowned as she saw him, rapidly running up to him. "Excuse me! Are you the wolf of Albion?!" She asked hurriedly, looking him up and down

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She nods, quickly moving over to look for him where she was told.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She looked to him, tilting her head.> "Y-yeah.. Lost my friend.. can you tell me where he went?"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She frowned, looking around.. She began to ask people for if they have seen the man..

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She sighed, looking around as she tried to begin searching for this man..

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She quickly came back, swords in hands before running through. "thanks!"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

"Please.. I need to.. I thought they were gone.." She is going to find her old gear now-

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Her eyes widen as she sees the pendant.. "What..? A.. I need to get to Albion.." She said, looking to her.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

She tilted her head, raising a brow.. "This.. Looks like.. how a witcher would fight.. Who.. is that exactly..?"

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"It depends on what I was fighting.. silver for monsters, steel for man."

001

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She nods as well. "Yeah.. that's a good thing to have.. but, as a Witcher, I learned very quickly that death happens.. and when Ylva and I are eventually killed.. it will be awful for our children.. but it is just how things can happen.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Yes..but.. my life is already extended far past than what it was.. I'm just happy to have some more time with them.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Mordred made a wish.. and so I was brought back with.. just my memories as a Witcher.. but none of the effects.. my body.. my muscle memory, all of it.. as if I never did any of my monster hunting life.. and i shall live for as long as my dearest Ylva does.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Mhm.. to a poison from a basilisk.. I was worried about being petrified and didn't limit how many potions I took.. my resistance is only so high before I fell.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She shrugged.. "I was trained to be a Witcher after.. I hunted .monsters and.. used the mutations to get the form i wanted.. eventually I ran into Ylva's mother and.. grew attached before traveling with her.. after Ylva was born, we.. got together and stayed that way until I died.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"No.. not slavery really.. just how Witchers work.. father asked the Witcher to save him and the Witcher said the first thing he sees when he gets home.." she said with a sigh.. "He just looked to me first.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Well.. I was born a long time ago.. to a very poor family.. I was actually sold to a guy in exchange for a few months of meals for my family.. It was from him that I became a monster hunter.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She chuckled, nodding. "Trust me. Ylva is just a big puppy once you get to know her.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Aww, it's hard to leave a bad impression with this family.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She nods, chuckling. "And far better than anything I lived in before.. sorry, I don't mean to brush off your compliments, dear.. but I can't really take credit for anything here.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Ah.. thanks.. I'll let Ylva know she did a great job in picking a home for her and our son.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"I figured.. I just.. am trying to get back to being happy with how I look.. I lost some things from my time years ago.. and.. Well, I'll just leave it at that.. Ylva is the real warrior though.. Her and Mordred.."

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She chuckled.. "Good to know, dear.."

000

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She chuckled, moving to rub her arm gently. "I.. Haha.. I am gonna take that as a compliment.. Thanks.." she said, smiling up to her.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Hah.. Hardly.. I was a monster slayer a long, /long/ time ago.." She said, giving a slight blush.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

"Oh! Hello! Nice to finally meet you! You're.. a bit larger than I expected.." She said, smiling as she waved to her.

100

Valencia @rustedblade.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She turned to see her, her eyes looking up to Freya's.. If she wasn't used to her family's stature, she would be more terrified.. "Can.. I help you..?"
