The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 176 – We must go to Ard Carraigh.



[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]

Third Person POV

Kaer Morhen.

...

...

"So, it looks like we're fucked with the King of Kaedwen..." Geralt murmured as he watched a bonfire being lit, with bodies placed onto it.

"Yes, we're at the very least screwed here." Vesemir spoke with a sigh.

"That would have happened either way. We left no evidence on the continent that we'd be here." Madara replied from a corner near them.

"However..." He continued. "They seem insistent on seeing you as a target. There was no choice but to fight back or fall to them. Now we have to deal with the king." He spoke with a serious tone.

"Fight back...?" Vesemir looked at him with some frustration. "Can we fight an entire kingdom?" He questioned.

"They have one of ours, or maybe two... or all of them. We have no choice. We don't know the whereabouts of Eskel, Coen, and Lambert. They could all be in a dungeon right now." Geralt said.

"You can't, but I have this power." Madara spoke.

"You intend to reappear? You'll put all the kingdoms after you." Vesemir said, a bit concerned as well. After all, they had already acted like this without any sign of Madara on the continent—imagine when they actually find out he's here.

"I don't need to show myself to the entire continent..." Madara replied casually. "We'll just have a talk with the King of Kaedwen. I'm sure I can be quite good at persuading him. Unless he wants a war he cannot win." Madara said.

"..." Both witchers fell silent upon hearing this. Undoubtedly, they would not doubt anything after all he had done in these last few years of training.

"I'll go too." Geralt spoke in the end. "I can be useful."

"Alright." Madara said.

"Then I'll stay at the castle. You'll leave tomorrow?" Vesemir asked.

"That would be good." Madara said as Geralt nodded.

In the end, they left the courtyard with the corpses finishing burning, while Madara entered the room where Ciri was lying on her bed. He just checked if she was alright and then went to his bed.

The next day, Madara left early to finish checking everything in his scroll while gathering a few more supplies in the forest.

Geralt was preparing his potions, also ensuring the stock was full, while Vesemir helped him.

They had lunch, and everything was ready to leave in the afternoon.

"How is she?" Geralt asked Vesemir.

"She's recovering. A few more days, and she'll wake up." He informed about the girl's condition.

Madara approached at that moment, wearing a black cloak with several storage scrolls both on his bracers and around his waist.

"What do you think could have led the king to try to attack us?" Vesemir didn't fail to ask Madara.

"I don't know... but someone could be behind this. There are many people who saw my contact with Geralt and also know about the witcher having some connection with the princess of Cintra... Seeing that we haven't appeared for almost two years and have stayed hidden here, they must be seeking information and raising suspicions... To them, you witchers are disposable. That's why they don't care much about your lives and can discard them without a second thought." Madara said.

"Could you not be so blunt..." Geralt murmured at the way Madara spoke about how the king valued them.

"Anyway, shall we get going?" Madara said as Geralt nodded, placing the last potion vials into his bag.

"Good luck." Vesemir said as they began to leave.

There were horses in the castle's stable, as well as many taken from the group. Although part of them wouldn't survive in the forest, with Vesemir unable to care for dozens of horses.

"You'll travel on a horse too?" That seemed to surprise Geralt.

"I don't think the king will do anything more to whoever he has imprisoned in his dungeons without a response from his men. I'd have to wait for you the whole journey if I arrived in the capital before you, so I'll travel a bit. I've never really done that before." Madara said. He had never needed to, so this would be a new experience in this world.

"Alright..." That was all Geralt said as they rode their horses, galloping rhythmically out through the gates, with Geralt and Madara taking the road and advancing along the southern trail, disappearing into the forest.

Meanwhile, someone was coming directly from the west, their red hair tucked beneath their hood. Their gaze fixed on a point as they looked over the landscape before them, finally seeing what they had been seeking for the past few weeks.

"Finally... I will be able to thank you for saving my life." Triss commented with a gentle look.

She wanted to see Geralt and did not refuse the request when she met Eskel, who told her there was something they needed help with at Kaer Morhen, and only a sorceress could do it.

She had been severely wounded almost two years ago, during her mission in the mountains of Sodden. She woke up two months after the incident, initially horrified by her condition. After all, her skin had been destroyed in the attack—she could barely recognize herself because of the burns. All she wanted at that moment was to die.

Many sisters from Aretuza visited her immediately, knowing she would have such thoughts, trying to make her reconsider such a thing. Yennefer became one of the most active in this effort. In the end, she abandoned the idea, despite feeling ashamed and afraid of her appearance and how people would react.

Yennefer and other sisters helped with her care, but even their power could not fully restore her. This led her to use illusion magic to hide her scars and appear as beautiful as she had been before the Battle of Sodden Hill.

She finally began to hear everything that had happened after that, and she was at least stunned by it all. Learning that they not only managed to defeat Nilfgaard's mages but that a new enemy had appeared—one that would later put everyone on alert about a dimension connected to this world.

There was also the unfolding of what happened between the war of the North and South, which left her shocked by the boy they had encountered in the mountains. He had been the protagonist—or the main suspect—of destroying an entire army, with a giant blue figure appearing, which was described by everyone as the manifestation of destruction in this world.

She watched her colleagues throughout that year, striving while searching for information and the whereabouts of the boy and the princess, while also studying the other continent. They sent ships to sail across the sea and find those lands, but none ever returned.

She had no choice but to assist them, alongside Yennefer, who no longer knew anything about the boy beyond him heading to the sea, as the last known person to see him.

Moreover, Triss saw how Yennefer was constantly watched. Every action she took or place she visited was reported, and a group of mages followed her. It was strange, as if they expected her to reveal the boy whom everyone feared at any moment. This led Triss to seek out Tissaia, complaining about it.

But the rector of Aretuza simply said there was nothing to be done, as this was the will of all the kings and organizations. Even so, she assured Triss that Yennefer would be fine—after all, they had never found any trace that could indicate the whereabouts of the one everyone was searching for.

The searches themselves were not as intense as they had been a year ago. It seemed they had accepted that there was no longer any sign of the boy. Even wandering witchers were called upon, but none managed to find any clue—whether in the north, with some searching for Madara in the lands of dragons, or even in the south, but nothing was found.

Triss helped as much as she could but decided to remain on her own in recent months. She abandoned her activities at the Temerian court, after all, she no longer wanted to involve herself so deeply after what had happened in Sodden.

However, receiving a witcher from the School of the Wolf sparked her interest in something other than helping her colleagues search for the boy's whereabouts, and she followed that road.

She wanted to see Geralt—someone for whom she had a great interest and admiration. Triss had always been someone who sought a partner to spend her life with. The life of a sorceress was generally solitary, with their wombs altered due to the power of chaos. Nearly all of them lacked the ability to bear children—it was something very rare—and she knew it was not her case. Despite that, many continually sought a way to cure this.

She knew about the relationship Geralt had with her friend Yennefer and envied something like that. She was certain she felt something for Geralt and had some hope of having him when she was called. That was why she came here immediately.

Thus, she followed the trail on her path, advancing without any issues over the next few days. When she was very close to the castle, she spotted some horses in the forest. She looked at them curiously but soon ignored it after confirming there was no one there. Finally, she arrived at Kaer Morhen.

She walked toward the entrance as a witcher quickly came out, looking at her with curiosity.

"Who are you?" The witcher looked at her with suspicion, knowing she was a sorceress from the fact that she was there alone and her attire.

"You must be Vesemir." She spoke, pulling back her hood, revealing her blood-red hair. "I am Triss Merigold. I'm here at the request of your witchers, stating that Geralt had a matter I could assist with." She spoke calmly and with friendliness.

Vesemir seemed surprised at first but then had to furrow his brow—supposedly, Madara and Geralt had left the castle three days ago, and now she appeared.

"Yes..." He murmured, not knowing how to proceed. After all, she could betray them, even with Geralt trusting her.

"Is Geralt here?" She asked, raising an eyebrow as she noticed the witcher's hesitation.

"No... he left for the south a few days ago, and he may be there for months." Vesemir admitted.

"Well... that is a surprise." She couldn't say she wasn't disappointed. After all, it seemed like she had come all this way for nothing.

"..." Vesemir thought for a moment and sighed, looking at her seriously.

"I need to know something... Are you willing to help with his request? It's not a matter that will take just a few days, and even if Geralt returns in months, you might not have managed to complete it." He spoke at the end.

"I... shouldn't I know what it is first?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Not before you promise me that you will not speak of anything you see from now on to anyone outside this castle." Vesemir suddenly seemed serious, catching the sorceress a little off guard.

"Alright, I suppose..." She murmured, wanting to help Geralt, even without knowing what all this caution from the witcher in front of her was about.

"I promise." She said in the end.

"Great. Come with me then." Vesemir asked her to enter as he rode his horse into the castle.

"I thought the castle was in ruins... it looks well-kept and whole." Triss couldn't help but comment as she looked around the place—Geralt had mentioned it to her a few times.

"We've been taking care of it a lot lately, so it's a bit surprising for everyone who's heard about Kaer Morhen." He said as he watched her put her horse in the stable along with the others.

Triss seemed calm until she saw some recently burned bones in the middle of the courtyard, making her frown.

"We were attacked a few days ago by knights from Kaedwen." Vesemir said at the end.

"What?! Why would they do that?" She raised her voice, concerned.

"A long story, and you'll understand when we get inside. Anyway, Geralt went to settle it in the capital, so he'll be there for a while." Vesemir said.

"..." Triss seemed full of questions and cautious about the old witcher, but she followed him nonetheless, once again surprised as they entered the next courtyard.

"Is that a griffin?!" She looked at the creature lying there. Its body was not the largest griffin she had ever seen, but it was certainly entering adulthood.

"Don't worry about him. He won't attack you if you don't mess with him. Anyway, he usually sleeps in the courtyard." Vesemir said, as if still bothered by the idea of a type of monster that had killed many over the years, now living in the courtyard of his home.

"How did a witcher manage to tame a griffin?" She couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't belong to us, if that's what you want to know. And before you ask more, it's a long story. Anyway, I could explain that later. First, let's see the girl." He said, heading into the castle, and a Triss full of questions followed closely behind him.
