Once I was a little girl. It’s so long ago now that it feels like another life. But it happened. Once I was a little girl with dreams of being powerful, of being beautiful, of being loved. My father didn’t seem to love me. My mother was too weak to stand up to him. Or at least it appeared that way. Perhaps she didn’t love me either.
In any case, I was sold for 4 marks to Tissaia de Vreis and ended up at Aretuza. I didn’t like it at first, wanted to leave, to have more control over my own life. But eventually I grew to appreciate the chance at power, at beauty, at perhaps even love. I worked hard, magic not always coming naturally to me, to become a powerful mage. But there were forces working against me
.A young man I met there, Istredd, was spying on me. He ruined my chance at going to Aedirn. Tissaia did nothing, and so I had to make my own way in the world. I transformed into a beautiful woman, not realizing at the time what I was giving up in the process. I went to court. To Aedirn as I had wanted. But it didn’t bring me what I had hoped it would. Settling petty political squabbles isn’t exactly the most fulfilling way to spend one’s time.
And so I rebelled. Left behind that life. Everything was going fine, or so I thought. But life had other plans. I met the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. I helped heal his friend and he saved my life from a djinn. Now we’re somehow linked. And I don’t like that. I want to choose my own path, make my own way in the world.
And I want a child. A legacy. A family. Something to leave behind so my time spent here isn’t entirely wasted.
I met Geralt (and his friend Jaskier) again on a dragon hunt, which took an unexpected turn. I fought against Nilfgaard at the Battle of Sodden Hill. After that, I lost my magic. And I ended up captured by Fringilla, my former classmate at Aretuza. Both of us were then captured by Elves, and we ended up meeting the Deathless Mother. The Elven leader, Francesca, let us go and decided to ally with Nilfgaard. I thought they were both foolish, but was glad to leave them alone.
I went back to Aretuza, though they thought I had died in battle. Tissaia welcomed me back and I reunited with Triss and Sabrina. Stregobor put me in a cell and tortured me, but Tissaia stopped him. To prove my innocence, I had to kill Cahir. Instead, I freed him and fled with him.
We eventually wound up in Oxenfurt, where we heard about someone known as the Sandpiper who helped elves get to Xin'trea. As it turns out, the mysterious Sandpiper was Jaskier. He was sympathetic to me losing my magic, and I no longer found him too annoying. He got me on the boat, but then I heard him scream and went to investigate.
I eventually find him being tortured by Rience in the tavern. I spit out some alcohol at Rience after he conjured fire and that allowed us to escape. Jaskier revealed that Rience was after Geralt. Eventually, we get separated and I meet the Deathless Mother again. She claims that Ciri is the key to getting my magic back.
I track Ciri down to the Temple of Melitele, and reunite with Geralt, finding out that Ciri is his Child Surprise.
Rience attacks the temple, but Ciri and I leave through a portal that she conjures. Geralt tells me to stop but I tell him that I can’t. We end up in Cintra and I convince Ciri that Geralt might be there. Eventually, I come clean about taking her to the Deathless Mother and Ciri is upset at my betrayal. She is so upset that the ground cracks and Nilfgaardian guards come running towards us. Geralt finds us and saves us before pulling his blade on me. I say the incantation to end up in the Deathless Mother’s hut again, so that Geralt can kill her. But she’s not there.
We arrive at Kaer Morhen, where Jaskier took Ciri, only to find that the Deathless Mother has possessed Ciri and killed some of the Witchers. I make a potion to attempt to get the Deathless Mother out of Ciri without killing her. I join Geralt in his fight against the Deathless Mother, but he realizes that Ciri can’t escape. I cut my wrists and summon the Deathless Mother again.
Ciri portals her, me, and Geralt to the Deathless Mother’s home sphere. She exits my body and joins the Wild Hunt. Ciri then portals us back and I have my magic back. It came back when I sacrificed myself to save Ciri.
Geralt doesn’t forgive me, but he wants me to help train Ciri to control her powers. He remembers the dragon saying that we’re destined for each other but that nothing would come of it because something more is needed. Geralt believes that Ciri is something more. I agree to help train her, and Geralt and I reassure her that we will help her fulfill her destiny.
I’m glad to have my magic back and hope to earn Geralt and Ciri’s forgiveness in time.
I will get what I want. And what do I want? Everything.
