Hello, and welcome to the newest addition to this random story of the internet. I wanted to thank you for all of the feedback you have been giving me lately, and Without further ado, Let's start.

Geralt and his unexpected companion went back to the great tree in the middle of the woods. The woods were very quiet, except for the owl here and there, or the rustling of the denizens of the old forest. As they got closer to the great tree, the gagging of poor Casteis was heard. It was normal, as the several very disfigured bodies of the hunting party were sprawled trough the place. Many were n ot even recognizable anymore. Geralt turned around, concerned for her wellbeing.

"Hey, you alright there? Need some time?" He asked. He knew the feeling, and he could understand.

"No... Just give me a second." She said and after a few, she came back to her senses. "Why are we here?" She asked. They already had the head of the beast. They only needed go back to the village.

"There is a missing corpse. If you made it alive, then there is a chance the other could too." He said and after the words left his mouth he thought of something that bothered his mind for a while now. "Speaking of which, how did you even made it without the Leshen noticing you? Haven't meet a lot who could outplay a Leshen." He said and Casteis pointed at a tree.

"I climbed a tree and went from one to one for days. I would have eventually made it out, but today I was waiting and then I heard the sound of battle. I then found you practically owning that thing. When you cut it's head I decided to stick with you. And here we are." She did a motion with her hands on the last sentence.

"Well, did you see anyone else in that time? We need to find her, I am not one to leave someone to die. Not saying she would, huntress and all that, but she could. And that is enough for me." He said as he began to focus his senses. If he could find even a trace, he could find her. Or at least her corpse.

"Tough luck with that. I heard your battle literally from the other side of the forest. She could be hiding, yes. But Lamia are no cowards. After hearing a battle like that, her blood should be pumping and rushing towards it. She could be very much dead as she is alive." She said, and she did hear herself. She didn't want to strap herself to hope. She did before and not long after that she saw her friends being torned apart.

Geralt ignored her and only kept looking. After a few minutes of inspection he found a clue.

"A blood trail. It leads out of the path, so it is of someone who escaped. It does not seem to severe, just a cut, but it seems as she was being pursued by something. A quadrupedal, it is most likely a lone wolf that went after her." He said as he began to advance on the trail, a loud "Wait for me!" not long after that.

The trail was not long, and a wolf carcass is what they found.

"Arrows killed it. It looks like she could handle a wolf. She was lucky it was a normal wolf, and not a wolf that was affected by the leshen's magic. Otherwise it would have not even be bothered by steel arrows." He said as he inspected the arrows in the carcass.

As he looked at the ground again, he saw the same blood trail. Only it was smaller, and less frequent. It was very hard to see with the normal eye, but Geralt was not normal at all.

'With the wolf off her back, she must have had the time to stop and mend herself. Poor job, she still left a clear trail.' He thought to himself as he motioned Casteis to follow him.

"How are you even able to see that? I could have spent a lot of time looking for clues and I would have never seen that trail right there. And that's a lot coming from a hunter." She said. And she was very right. The trail was very small and it was practically camouflaged by the foliage. One would need superhuman sight to see it so fast. She didn't knew he was a mutant.

"Have you ever heard of Witchers?" He asked as he looked at the ground, following the almost invisible trail.

"Nope. Never heard of them." She said as she looked at the trees, looking for a way to entertain her self.

"We are basically Monster Hunters. We travel around the world and when someone has a problem with a monster, we take care of it. Proven you can pay for one, of course. Tell me, have you ever heard of magic?" He asked. Back where he was from, that was a stupid question. Even villagers in a isolated island would know of magic, it was the reason that the monsters were around. Everyone knew it and despised anyone who used magic for that.

"Yep. Hard not to. Tough, lamia can't use magic. Lamia lack the ability to collect mana from the air, and for that can't cast spells. I know that Elves can, and some other species can, but not us. Humans can't too, but there have been cases of humans who were born with the talent, or so I've heard." She said and Geralt was left confused. He knew he was in a different dimension, that was for sure. Many things pointed at that sole fact. Now it was definitive.

He would finish this contract, get some coin, and then he would look for a way back. Plain and simple.

After a few minutes, the trail led to a cave. Caves were very not good, as most of the time they were inhabited by monsters, and if she went into one, her luck would decide whether she lived or not.

"Stay here, not much you can do with those steel arrows of yours anyways." He said and he reached into his side, he took out a knife. "It is not a sword, but it is better than nothing. If anything that is not human or non-human for that comes your way, stab it until it dies." He said as he handed the knife to her.

She nodded and took the knife, Geralt advanced towards the cave. As he entered, he focused his senses. The stench of blood and monsters hit his nose almost immediately, not a good sign.

He reached for one of his many pockets and took out a bottle of green liquid and took a drink of it. Cat, a potion capable of letting the user see in total darkness. He then began to follow the monster stench. What he found was an ekimmara, a moment away from tearing the poor lamia to shreds. It looked like she held her own for enough time for Geralt to make it there. He Swinged his silver but the monster did not budge, he ignored the pain and pierced the Lamia's stomach. Geralt swinged again, and this time it had an effect, the thing recoiled but it was too late. Geralt swinged yet again, all of the last strikes were on the same spot. This last one sliced the Ekimmara in two different pieces.

Geralt looked at the body in the ground. She was alive, but not for long. The claws had pierced her stomach clean, internal bleeding would kill her sooner or later. It was partly his fault, had he been faster he could have prevented this, but he didn't felt very guilty. He was no stranger to death, and he would certainly not feel to bad for a complete stranger. He did gave her a swift death, slowly dying due to bleeding was a very painful way to die.

He exited the cave, and as soon as he saw Casteis, he shook his head. "She didn't make it." He said softly.

TIME SKIP- Lamia village, Midnight.

Geralt found himself Galloping back to the village. Casteis holding Geralt tightly, and he swore it was on purpose that she was pressing her 'Assets' on his back. He said nothing, after all, he was a male too. After Geralt got close enough for his eyes to see the village, he noticed something peculiar. Humans were on the main entrance, forming a perimeter. He recognized this formation, it was one raiders used when they wanted to to a hit and run, only the carriages were replaced with green big cubes. He of course didn't knew that these were called Vehicles, cars to be precise. After mentioning his thoughts to the lamia that was harassing him, she panicked a little.

"Is there a back entrance? We need to get in there but we can't go trough the front gate. They could begin killing civilians." He said as he eyed the unknown force. They were chatting, not worrying about a thing.

"Well... there is one, but it was recently placed to seal it, but when I heard that it was only days ago. Maybe it not totally sealed. We could maybe break it but it could take a while." She said as she pointed to a side road.

After a couple minutes, lo and behold a wall with a very visible crack. It was sturdy enough to stand but anything else it failed at.

"Stand back." He said as he motioned a sign with his hands. The Aard sign. Out of nowhere a big force of air impacted the wall, sending bits of it everywhere. Casteis was impressed. A human capable of magic, it was a sight that was very rare. She said nothing, now was not the time.

Both passed through the hole in the wall and found themselves in a storage room.

"This storage room connects directly with the chief's house. We should be in the east hallway, if this is what I think it is, the chief should be in the in the outside garde. Having a 'friendly' chat with the people we saw before." She mentioned and opened the door, checking in someone was roaming the halls. When she found none, she exited the room and motioned Geralt to follow her.

"You know the Chief? You seem way too familiar with the place to be a hunter."

"Not just any hunter, the best hunter in the village. Such title comes with benefits, including befriending the Village chief." She answered and stopped in front of a door. It was fairly big, decorated with flower symbols.

"Behind this door is the garden. You should note that the chief is very aggressive when it comes to the village, so you should stop her from doing anything that is too rash." She pointed out and opened the door. They were greeted with the sight of Nysone and a woman dresses on black. She was not young, but not old either. if Geralt had to guess he would say on her early 40s. But Geralt could not deny her beauty, her clothing kind of reminded him of Yennefer, but the similarities ended there.

"CASTEIS!" Nysone's voice rivaling that of a Griffin's war cry. It almost left him stunned for a couple of seconds. She then jumped at her, it was clear she was very worried at her disappearance.

"Woah there, don't worry. I'm alright. You should be thanking Mr. Silver sword over there. He was the one who helped me. Not only that, but he even got rid of the the thing that has been harassing us for months. The forest is free of it and we should be able to collect enough food for winter." She said and patted Geralt on the back, but Geralt after a few seconds took a few steps away from her.

"Woah... Really? I thought it would take at least a few days. And being sincere, I didn't really expect you to really kill the beast. I thought you would come back after a few days claiming you killed the beast when you didn't. If you came back now alone, I would have got you kicked out of the town. Being Casteis here supports your claims, I see no reason why I should not believe you." She stated and got into thought for a few seconds. "Tough it does raises a few questions. Who exactly are you, Geralt?" She asked rather bluntly. The others wondered too, even the lady in black, form what she heard, The chief sent a group to subjugate this thing, and yet none came back. Then this man comes into the table and in less than a night kills this beast. A human no less, it was something that she wondered, as he didn't seem to carry any Firearms, only two swords in his back.

Geralt raised his hands in annoyance "Already told you, I am a witcher. A professional at killing Monsters. No more, no less. I am only here for my payment. If you are still unconvinced, I have the head of the thing for proof." He stated and the chief grimmanced a little.

"As much as I would not like to, I want to know what killed so many of my own. But that comes later, I need to finish some business here." She said and the three looked at the other person in the room.

'Raider's boss.' He thought and already was prepared to go for Hanged man's venom just in case.

"I'm sorry Ms Asher. I didn't expect more company this night." She said as she bowed slightly.

"Don't worry, Ms. Waterway. From what I heard I believe they are good news. Now back to business." Geralt had no choice but to wait. It seemed they were speaking about the relationship that the lamia and humans had. They offered a treaty as long as the lamia didn't seek to kidnap any more males. Of course, It was a great opportunity for Nysone and she had no reason to refuse. Of course, they could just use the exchange program to look for more males. Right now they had enough so she didn't worry. They also had to release any males that didn't wanted to stay there, Nysone chuckled as there was no such thing in the village. Her daughter, Miia was already studying to go to the Urban and look for males there. It was all in her plan. It carried many advantages and the disadvantages were easily fixed.

'Guess she isn't a raider after all...' Geralt thought to himself as he laid back in a chair offered to him.

After agreeing to these terms, she then signed treaty papers and Happily shook her hand. Her and her crew were leaving for the city the next day. They had to report their successfulness at reaching peaceful terms with what was now already 5 villages.

Now, Nysone had to reward the Village's savior. Per se, If the humans had got notice of this thing in the forest, they would have no doubt had retreated back to the city. This thing had gotten a lot more aggressive lately, and no doubt it would have continued to kill. The latest attack before he sent the hunting party, was a house in the outskirts of town. It had been torn down from the base, the owners fiddled into unrecognizable muddles of flesh and blood. The house itself was no Strawhouse either, it was made of solid stone and brick. Something with such power could just come into the village and destroy everything in it's path. In just a few days that the humans took to go and come back the Leshen could just decide to go to the village and they would be no more.

In the start, Nysone sent Geralt as bait for the leshen to calm down, or even if he was strong enough, to distract it while the humans came back. She at no point expect him to actually kill it, but once again, it is a lesson for her for underestimating Humans. There were at best 4 males left in the village, and while it may look like a little, when all these males did was just Breed with the lamia, you learn that these 4 can do a lot. Combine that with a Lamia's high fertility rate and special concoctions they developed, the chance of impregnation was close to 90%.

Lamia, for default were a species that was highly attracted to strong males, wanting to make their offspring as strong and with higher chances of survival, as the lamia were mainly a hunting species. She would be lying if she said she wasn't attracted to Geralt, no it would be the biggest lie she would have told in her life. Her instincts were screaming to her. When compared to the 4 males they had left, he dwarfed them. It helped not that he was very appealing eye candy, his scar that went across his eye that showed of a great battle, to the great Physique, it combined to a result that would leave even a succubus blushing. When these two traits combined, strength and appearance, it was very normal for the Lamai Chief's instincts to be yelling to her.

She would reward him, alright.

"Well, then. That is all. Now Geralt dear, would you care to get that head for us? I gotten interested in this 'Monster' of yours." Ms Asher said and geralt in response only whistled. Casteis was about to ask him what he was doing, but instead found Roach, Geralt's stead was literally on the other side of the village, his whistle could not be loud enough to reach it, even if it was an animal. Second, even if Roach heard him and went in his way, Roach would need to travel the streets of the village, and while they might be straightforward, they were designed for sapient creatures. Another big thing is how long Roach took to get there, It took him seconds when it should have took minutes if it knew where it was going, it was impossible in many ways.

She shook it off, Geralt Defied many things that she thought were normal, it was normal his stead of all things would defy them too.

Geralt went to Roach and grabbed a bag that was supported on the side of Roach. He then opened the bag and took out a Deer skull with Long Horns attached to it. He walked towards the group, which recoiled a little bit at the sight of it. They didn't knew why, but there was an omnipresent feeling that pushed them on the edge. The only reason why Casteis mounted roach is because she insisted to Geralt to put that head in a bag.

Getting past the initial shook, Ms. Asher got the courage to speak. "So, that is our culprit huh? I've got to say that even if it's dead, it sure lives up to it's reputation. How exactly did you kill it?" She asked and in response Geralt Withdrew his Silver blade. As he unsheathed, the runes on the blade began to shine, in a very deep red.

"Discovered something peculiar. From where I'm from, everyone knows that Monsters are allergic to silver, thus weak to it. Have you never heard of that?" He asked and Got a little surprised at that.

"Yes, I've heard of it, but I thought it was only superstition and rumors. Like how they say that Vampires are allergic to Garlic." She said and Geralt scoffed a little at that.

"Well it is no rumor. The leshen was able to kill all of those hunters easily because it was immune to steel. Like Casteis mentioned, her husband drove a sword through it's chest and it only shrugged it off. On the other hand, my silver debilitated it and killed it." He said and Looked at his sword.

"How come your sword isn't in a bad shape? Sliver is very weak and can be easily bends when trying to strike with." She pointed out and Geralt Sheathed his sword once again.

"Now that is a witcher's secret. Don't get me wrong, but hunting monsters in my job. Can't let contracts go away like that to a group flukies with silver swords." Of course, in his world everyone knew. But his sense of greed overrode him. All of the contracts he could get. It was very easy to make a silver sword to a smith. The sword has a silver core and the silver is then on the outside, making it a lot more durable.

"Well, there is the head. Now it is time to pay up. I don't exactly know how currency works here, but enough for a month's food should be enough." (I say this because prices for anthining are so incredibly high. Really, a cooked chicken for 70 Crowns!? Back to the story." He finished and everyone looked at him wide eyed. He had literally killed what was one of the most dangerous beasts alive and he asks for just money for a Month's worth food?! He Could very easily ask for enough to be considered a small fortune and everyone in the Lamia village would happily give it to him. He did save the village after all. Lamia were no stingy creatures, and happily rewarded those who worked for it, and would not let you go empty handed if you helped any of them, it was in their genes. For him to ask this was like he just saved their lives, which he in theory did, and asked some scraps of food in return. Truly unacceptable.

"That won't do, Geralt. Lamia are a very grateful species, we can't just let you go only with that. I will have a little conference with the other elders and see how much we can give you, don't worry I'll have this taken care of myself, just sit here and relax. I'm sure we won't take long." She said and bolted inside the house at record speed, even Geralt had trouble following her.

He used this opportunity to talk to Ms. Asher, He had to get to a human settlement, and from there would start looking for a mage or something that can Teleport him back.

"So Ms As-" He was interrupted by said person.

"No need to be formal good sir, I only use my last name when it comes to politics. You may call me by my first name, Lilith." She said and Geralt nodded.

"Well then, Lilith. You said you are going to the city tomorrow, I was wondering if I could acompain you there. I am not familiar with the place, so that much help would be really appreciated. Of course, if it so needed I could pay a fair price in exchange of said service." He said and Lilith shook her head.

"No such thing should be needed. I only want to ask you a few questions." She said and took out a little notepad.

"Go ahead."

"First of all, you said that where you come from, everyone seemed to know about this silver weakness, where exactly do you hail from?" She asked and Geralt thought about it. While he could lie, he saw no reason to. He would not exactly gain anything from it, and telling the truth would not be a problem in theory, so he was honest.

"Have you ever heard of magic?" He asked for the second time that night.

"Yes, but I do not see how that answers my question." She said and Geralt began to explain to her how he came to be. Of course, she had her doubts but he showed her his bestiary, and a show on magic, she seemed to believe him at least a little bit.

"Well then, what do you plan to do now?" She asked and Geralt also told her of what he planned to do. To seek a sorceress or a Mage and seek help.

"Well then, I guess I could at least help you in that much." She said and finally, Nysone returned from the house. It seemed they had agreed on giving him currency of Japan, otherwise known as Yen. How much exactly? They said it was enough to support a family of 2 for a year, which is a lot By the way.

"Soo." Nysone started "You are going tomorrow?" She asked. Geralt only nodded in return. "How about you accompany me inside, We are still to reward you for your efforts in the... Lamia way. Now to this, Geralt only smirked.

"Can't go into much detail here, just know that the next morning, more than one Lamia begged for his stay.

And done! That took longer that I would have expected. I kind of rushed a little bit, so pardon me if some sentences don't make sense.

Next chapter there will be a little time skip, and I will only tell you about very special events, just a few and finally, the daily life can start!
