Geralt sat bolt upright when he heard a noise grabbing his sword, he looked off to the left and saw that Celia was gone.

"Celia. Celia?" He looked around and didn't see her.

"Fuck." He moved looking around to see if she had gotten up and had wondered off or was just sitting somewhere and didnt hear him. Geralt looked down and then saw foot prints light at first and then heavy as if they were carrying someone. He followed the tracks and they changed to it seemed a struggle happened and one of them was injured. There was blood but he didn't know whose.

Celia looked toward the men that stood on either side of her, around her wrists cuffs attached to a long chain. She was pulled forward, stumbling as she moved.

"Why?" She asked. They looked at her and just kept walking.

"He will find me."

"It will happen we know. You will be easy to find."

"What?" Celia looked at them confused as she was pulled forward.

"Here looks like a good place to display our lovely mage.:

"I'm not a mage."

"No but you are his sister."

"What?"

"People know what you are."

"That's not possible." She said, she pulled on the cuffs and chains trying to free her arms. They chained her arms above on a tree and walked away. The cuffs kept her from doing any magic at all, she wasnt sure how but it did. Something about this didn't feel right, this was more than a trap, she had seen over the course of following him many people wanted him dead. She needed to find a way to free her arms, she wouldn't let them kill him. Celia closed her eyes and concentrated, she felt the chains rattle but she stopped when she felt a sword against her throat.

"I would give him you dead but it's not as much fun."

She leaned back, but a familiar sense came over her, he was near and she knew he could hear her.

"GERALT!IT'S A TRAP!" She screamed, she was punched in the face knocking her out. The only thing holding her up was the chains on her wrists.

Geralt looked up, her voice sounded terrified but she was warning him. He didn't care, he made a promise and he was going to keep it.

"Celia." He called out, he listened and heard nothing from her, but he did hear men walking in the woods. He pulled his sword and moved through the woods, he stopped when he saw movement to his left, with a smooth arch of his sword he caught the sword that came at him. He brought an end to the first quickly. A second dove out of the trees at him and was dead before he hit the ground. He continued walking, he looked ahead and saw Celia. He looked around her to be sure she was alone. He hurried to her, he touched her face.

"Celia."

"Geralt?" She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Yeah. I am going to get you down then we are going to do something ok."

"Ok." Celia said, she felt the chains give way and she fell to the ground.

"Celia take my hand." He held his hand out to her, she placed her hand in his.

"Now we are going to work together. I don't have magic I can cast signs basic stuff but you Celia you can cast it all. Work together."

"Ok." Celia said. Getting to her feet she looked as more men exited the woods. Celia began whispering an incantation while holding onto Geralt's hand. She turned and looked at him and with the hand she was holding his she extended their arms as she shouted the last part of the incantation sending everyone around them flying backwards, several burst into flame. Celia dropped to her knees and then looked up at him.

"Well that was interesting. You ok?"

"First time I've done that with another person. You have power in you brother. It might not be allot but you have power."

"We will discuss this later. Let's get you out of here."

"There will be no others. I killed them all."

"You what?"

"That spell killed them. It wouldn't have but when I added your minor magic to it they all died. No one else will be coming. At least not from this group anyway. Seems trouble follows us everywhere."

"So it does. Come on let's go." He helped her walk as they headed back to where he had left Roach.

"Let's not do that again."

"Couldnt if I wanted to. One big burst is all you get out of me for a while. I am going to need rest." Celia said to him.

"Never trained but you know your limits. Seems there is still allot about you I could learn."

"Later, let's just go."

Geralt nodded and when they got up to Roach he finished getting everything back on to the horse, he set Celia on the saddle and then climbed up behind her and hurried them away from the area. He knew she needed rest but he wasn't sure if he could trust an inn.
