The Pact

by Gray234

"He grants exactly what you wish for. That's the problem" The statement that captures the pacts made with Gaunter O' Dimm also known in many titles such as the Man of Glass and Master Mirror but to a select few, they call him Evil Incarnate. Now, Master Mirror has come to collect and he chooses a witcher to be his champion. The contract: the soul of the ancient magister, Corypheus.

2. Follow-up

This would be for my 1st reviewer who suggested more choices from different Witcher schools. One of these schools will be an original creation of mine but do not fret because it will not be OP compared to the others. This is mainly for me to introduce a different fighting style for this particular Witcher School. Here are the others:

Ragnar of Clan Tordarroch also known as Ragnar the Strong (OC character)- School of the Bear: The youngest son of Harek Tordarroch, Jarl of Undvik of his time, he is known for his towering stature and strength. He was the Child of Surprise to a Bear school witcher despite to the chagrin of the witcher since the Bear School fortress has been buried under an avalanche therefore can no longer train new witchers but the joy of Harek since the child is destined for epic battles worthy of songs. Granting them ownership of an old fort so long as they cleared it of its unofficial inhabitants, the School of the Bear was rebuilt with Ragnar as one of its first students. Ragnar differ from most witchers because he maintained familial ties even when he was already a witcher. The other witchers of the Bear school tolerated this because they do not want to offend their gracious host. Ragnar was famous among the people of Undvik because of the tales he tells them of the monsters he slew. Katakans, Griffins, Wyverns, Manticores and all manner of large and mighty monsters are the ones he tells his people. Last known of Ragnar was that he was caught in the middle of the First Nilfgaard- Nordling War his fate unknown. Bear school training is known for having a defensive fighting style in which they favor great defense more than dodging and known to end the fight with the least amount of strikes by delivering strong and heavy attacks to deliver huge damage or endure long enough to tire out the monster and end it with one decisive strike. Bear school witchers specialize in tackling large monsters. They are much more learned in defensive signs so that they don't increase their weight further than they are comfortable with since they already wear armor heavier than other witchers from different schools uses. Since Ragnar is not dead, Master Mirror tells him that he will reward the witcher with whatever he wants without consequence of any kind if he completes the contract.

Markus of Metinna (OC character)- School of the Eagle (OC school): A witcher hailing from the obscure Eagle School. Not much is known about Markus...not much is known about the Eagle School Witchers in general by the general populace. Traditionally, a witcher is identified by their special medallions that signify where they come from and by their Cat-like eyes. These witchers have the medallion but they don't have the eyes. This is due to the different type of mutagens that change the ocular system of the witchers to grant them with more visual acuity and granting them vision from different spectrums such as being able to see heat when needed and possibly to see through walls. They also possess telescopic vision that allows them to see objects and other things at a great distance from them and therefore not needing the use of a spyglass. This makes the eyes of Eagle witchers more akin to a bird of prey than those of a cat. As one could surmise from their specialized ocular mutations, these witchers favor taking out their foes from a distance. Known to specialize against avian monsters, these witchers are the only ones known to use archery in dealing with monsters. For these witchers, it is either they kill the flying monster mid-flight with one arrow or just disable it mid-flight and let gravity deal more damage and potentially kill the monster. They are then augmented to be one of the deadliest archers in existence. Aside from archery, these witchers do have some standard witcher training but they use shortswords instead and are lightly armored to grant them great maneuverability. Markus encounters Master Mirror when he was contracted by an influential family to break a curse. As it turns out, it was Gaunter O' Dimm coming to collect his payment and it was then that Markus issued a proposal, he will perform a labor and if Markus succeeds, the family is free from the contract. Liking the idea, Master Mirror proposes a counter proposal since in his eyes, the Witcher gets nothing out of the deal. (Gold is of no importance to him) If Markus succeeds in this labor, he will grant him a reward for his efforts. It was through this ordeal that Markus is dumped by Master Mirror in Thedas with what appears a simple task: slay Corypheus.
