This is the tale of the famous witcher, Asgeir Skallberg.
His story starts when he is a 16-year-old boy attending Novigrad High School.
Asgeir watched as Mr. Randy picked up the chalk and started writing."The Conjunction of Spheres!" Mr. Randy shouted "Is our subject today class. I want you take notes on all that I write and say because this is very important!"
"The Conjunction of Spheres was an event that you all should have some knowledge of but today we will go in depth. We will be speaking of what the Conjunction was, the effect it had on us, and how it was reversed."
"The Conjunction of Spheres happened long ago. It was a magical alignment of planets caused by someone or something that is still unknown. The magical alignment caused a rift in the fabric of space and time forcing all the planets inhabitants, including Humans, Dwarves, and Halflings, onto this planet."
Mr. Randy Continued, "Hundreds of years after The Conjunction of Spheres event, once humans had gained dominance over the other races, monsters were becoming a much bigger problem to the growing populations. Humanities solution to this problem was the creation of the Witchers, superhuman killing machines that had been trained and mutated for the sole purpose of protecting Humanity from monsters."
Asgeir raised his hand and asked, "What kind of Mutations?"
Mr. Randy answered, "Well Asgeir, the mutations they underwent were called the Trials of The Grasses. It was a very painful and very deadly process that was done on specially trained children in Witcher schools like Kaer Morhen or Kaer Trolde. The mutations were done by injecting many different potions, poisons, and spells into their bodies causing them to gain superhuman strength, speed, senses, and reflexes."
Mr. Randy went onto the last part of the lesson, "Now speaking of Witchers, I'm sure most of you have heard the stories of the great Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. Now most of the stories about Geralt are special, some of them are even true, but the real reason that Geralt of Rivia is so special is he is the one who reversed the Conjunction of Spheres. Geralt of Rivia after saving so many lives and helping so many people made the ultimate sacrifice to save ALL of the sentient races, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and Halflings, by sending all the destructive monster races back to the planets from which they came, and using his soul as the seal."
Mr. Randy ended his lesson and said, "Alright class the lesson is over. I hope you all got in some good notes and really paid attention. Your homework for tonight is to do research on the Conjunction and write a paper on what you find the most interesting."
Asgeir thought about what he learned in History class that day while he waited. Ding-Ding-Ding, the bell rang telling the teens to head home. On his way to his locker Asgeir was stopped by the school's bully gang its members were the Leader, Vlad Fariss, an elf, and the Followers, Harry Nacks, a human, and John Garty, a dwarf. These were the toughest guys in school, and the meanest.
Vlad walked up to Asgeir and said, "Hey there! Why're you walkin' down my hallway? Huh?"
Asgeir replied, "Look man I don't want any trouble okay. I just want to get to my locker."
"Oh yeah? Well guess what punk! This is my school, and in my school I get whatever I want when I want it! And when I want trouble, I get trouble!" Vlad said as he smacked Asgeir's books down and shoved him into the wall.
"Dude! What the fuck!?" Asgeir exclaimed, "What's your problem!?"
Vlad said, "My problem is you, ya' little shit! You walked down my hallway which I told you never to do again Bitch!"
"Yeah! Well I don't remember the school selling you the hallway, Fucktard!" Asgeir yelled, "If you wanna' fuckin' fight then let's go asshole!" Asgeir said as he put up his fists ready for a fight.
"Oh, wow! You really think you can just challenge me to a fight in my school!? Stay back guys I got this little queer!" Vlad called to his followers as he threw the first punch at Asgeir.
Asgeir dodged right and socked Vlad in the gut, then he right hooked him in temple knocking Vlad out cold. The other two guys jumped in tried to hit Asgeir at the same time. Asgeir managed to dodge Harry but John got him in the jaw making Asgeir stumble back. Then Harry tripped him and he fell on his back smacking his head on the ground. Harry and John kicked him in the sides and told Asgeir, "Don't ever fuck with us again!"
Asgeir waited for them to leave before he got up and grabbed his books. On his way to his locker Asgeir stopped at the restroom to wash his face and look in the mirror for any major injuries. Asgeir splashed some cool water on his face feeling a sense of refreshment wash over him. He looked in the mirror to look for any injuries. Asgeir had straight dirty blonde hair that hung over the right side of his head and was undercut, sides and back short with top long. He looked into his own deep blue eyes thinking to himself about the day he'd had. Thankfully he had managed to ward off acne pretty well because he always kept himself clean. His face was fairly handsome looking, and he was naturally a bit pale-skinned. Asgeir stood at the height of 6'2 and he was pretty athletic, he liked to exercise but he didn't like sports much. Asgeir's parents were from Skellige but came to Novigrad on a trade ship. They decided they liked Novigrad and wanted to stay. Once he was done washing up and decided his cuts and bruises weren't too bad he headed to his locker, grabbed his things, and went out to his mom's car.
"Wow! Asgeir, what happened to you!" His mother, Freya Duhlberg, exclaimed.
"Don't worry mom it's nothing. I got into a little fight, but I'm fine now." Asgeir replied trying to calm his mother.
"No Asgeir! You're not fine, you got into a fight!" His mother yelled worried about him.
"I'm sorry mom, but at least I'm not hurt. Besides they started it, Vlad and his little gang started knocking down my books and shoving me and he threw the first punch. All I was doing was going to my locker and he just started being an asshole." Asgeir said to his worried mother.
Asgeir's mother replied, "Well, fine. But I'm reporting this to the principle tomorrow."
"Alright mom, that's fine by me." Asgeir said to his mother, "And mom?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
His mother said back, "I love you too."
"let's go home."
Asgeir and his mother then proceeded to leave the school parking lot and go home until…
Asgeir asked, "Hey can I turn on the radio?"
His mother replied, "Sure kiddo, go right ahead."
"Thanks mo- (VROOM! HONK-HONK!) HUH, LOOK OUT! (CRASH! BOOM!)
