Hello there! Welcome legends to the next chapter of Light Bringer Stories: The Witcher.
This one took a bit longer than I had anticipeted, a few things I needed to work out, couldn't decide to include a certain charachter or not, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now review time.
dragon rose 11: I haven't gotten a PM from you yet. Very strange.
RedHood001: Oh, Lucifer wasn't messing with Geralt and the others, he was just showing them a good time. Happy you found that scene of Lucifer in mourning touching, means I did a good job. Yes, Ciri did mention it in the game and she and Lucifer did in chapter three.
EnigmaticHufflepuff: Glad you like it and happy to have you. It really depends on the sibling, though he has no real problem with them except that they blindly obey their Father. I have a few things lined up. As for adapting the DLC, I'm planning at least Heart of Stone. I'm not sure how to fit Blood and Wine in.
Now story time.
"Thank you for coming." Geralt said once he stood at the head of the table, to those who had gathered in Kaer Morhen.
It consisted of the three Witchers, friends and ally's like Ermion, Hjalmar and Zoltan, sorceresses like Yennefer, Triss Merigold and Keira Metz, and of course Lucifer and his sidekick Potato.
"The Wild Hunt will be here soon. They're coming for Ciri, want to take her." Geralt continued leaning on the table, "We'll stop them."
"How do you know the Wild Hunt will show?" Lambert said, resting on elbow on the wood.
"They always know where I teleport to." Ciri said from the other end of the table, "And they move from place to place in an instant."
"It's because of their cheap Navigator's magic." Potato chipped in before turning to Geralt, "So what is plan, Belyy Volk?"
"There aren't many of us, but I'd trust any of you with my life. Work together, and we'll defeat the Hunt." Geralt said to everyone at the table, "When they attack, Yen will dome the fortress with a magic shield. Hunt will be forced to land outside the walls."
"If they're dispersed out in the woods." Lambert said, "We could hunt down small groups of riders."
"Not my usual style, but seems like fun." Lucifer said standing next to Ciri with his hands in his pockets, "Sign me up."
"Good. Then we already have two volunteer's for the hunting party." Geralt said, gesturing to the blonde Devil and Lambert, "I'm the third."
"The Hunt will try to penetrate into the fortress through navigator portals." Yennefer said, "I can do nothing against this kind of magic, so you'll need to find and close as many as you can while hunting in the woods."
"While closing those portals are mere child's play to me, I have taken the liberty to have Potato make a few dimeritium bombs for those less gifted in magic." Lucifer said turning to his assistent, "You did prepare them right?"
"Of course, Potato did." the small girl said with a nod, "Though going through notes, it seems witcher sign Yrden should work on portal too."
"If you come across a large unit, do not attack." Yennefer said, "Signal Triss and she will provide support."
"Won't be needing it." Lucifer said casually, "But it's nice to have options."
"Remember, there's only a few of us. We have to help each other, work together. If anything goes wrong and the Hunt puts us on the defensive, we pull back, make a stand at the gates of the fortress." Geralt said, "The inner courtyard is our last line of defense. If we don't stop them there, we're doomed."
"Ciri's most important. Eredin wants her." Potato said, "Potato will handle him."
"Potato will do no such thing." Lucifer told her sternly, "I need you to stay back."
"Luci!" Potato shouted, angry at the thought of not allowed to assist in the fighting, "You cannot do this Potato!"
"Yes, I can. I have a good reason for that." Lucifer said calmly, "I need you to stay here and guard Cirilla, take her back to Morning Star if we all fail. Your the only one I would trust with this mission." and his assistant seemed to calm down almost instantly to give him a nod.
"A child?" Lambert said perplexed, "That is your back-up plan?"
"Believe me, she is older than you." Lucifer said with an aside smirk, "A lot tougher as well."
"Hold on." Ciri said holding up her hand, "What do you mean stay here and guard me?"
"We need you to stay inside the keep." Yennefer said to her adopted daughter, "If they break through, come inside, we'll all converge to help you."
"Out of the question." Ciri protested, "I can look after myself."
"No one doubts that, child." Vesemir said fatherly, "But remember the most important moment when hunting a monster?"
"Wait for an opportunity." Ciri said, remembering the lesson, turning her gaze towards the table.
"Remember, Eredin can't get his hands on Ciri." Geralt said, "Like Potato said, that's most important."
A few hours later as the final preparations for the coming battle was on their way, a frowning Ciri was leaning against the table, her arms crossed in front of her chest as she looked at everyone getting ready.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Lucifer said leaning against the table next to her as he had his flask in his hand.
"Should you be drinking right now?" Ciri said, with an aside glance.
"Seems like a good a reason as any. Can't get drunk anyway, it's an angel thing." Lucifer said as he took a swing of his whisky, "I just enjoy the taste."
"Okay... Serious talk coming." Ciri said, a bit uneasy, "I know your not good at that..."
"I know... But for you, I will try." Lucifer said with an assuring smile, "What's on your mind, Cirilla?"
"They want me to sit and wait while others risk their lives for me." Ciri said with annoyance.
"It's the best way, the Hunt is after you." Lucifer said with some concern, "I won't know what to do if something happens to you."
"I know... Still I like it when you let yourself be vulnerable like that." Ciri said with a slight smile, "But I'm a bit surprised that you didn't want to lead."
"Yes, because it ended so well the last time I led an army." Lucifer muttered sarcastically, "Let me remind you of my failed rebellion. I lost and was kicked out of Heaven to rule in Hell for all eternity."
"You led a rebellion with one third of the Heavenly body, no Archangels and you nearly won." Ciri pointed out as gave him a playful push to his upper arm, "Either Michael is a horrible commander or your just a damn good one."
Lucifer looked surprised, but couldn't help but have a slight proud smile creep onto his face by what she said.
"Speaking of your brother... Sorry, I mean less handsome twin." Ciri said which earned her a small chuckle from the blonde Devil, "There is something I need to tell you..."
"That will have to wait." Lucifer said pushing himself off the table, "Nothing is more important right now than to keep you save."
"Alright..." Ciri said a bit troubled again, "Lucifer... No matter what happens, if we don't make it out of this..."
"No. I can't... I can't... I won't lose you again." Lucifer said shaking his head as if trying to shake off the bad thoughts, "After this, we will have all the time in the Worlds. I... When this is over. I want to tell you three little words, I won't say it like this." as he softly gripped her hands.
"I... I can't wait." she said with a smile, standing on her toes as she placed a soft kiss on his lips. As they stood there, enjoying the warmth and taste of the other, Ciri knew that with Lucifer here, everything would turn out fine.
Lucifer walked out of the keep to see everyone in position, he walked past Eskel who was warming up with his graceful swordplay. On a wooden bench, Vesemir was treating his sword. He walked towards the training grounds, where he saw Geralt looking at a wooden log hanging above one of the training obstacles.
"Everything alright?" Lucifer said when he stood next to the White Wolf.
"Can't help but feel like we overlooked something important." Geralt said with a hint of concern as his breath became visible in the air, "I'm exposing you all to danger. Unnecessarily."
"Look Geralt, if there is one thing I'm good at, aside from sex, it's reading people. And I can assure you, they wouldn't be here if they didn't want to." Lucifer said assured him as the skies above began to darken, "Don't think too much about it. Everything will work out fine in the end."
The temperature began to drop low enough that snow began to dwindle from the dark clouds above as frost began to spread all around the keep as the winds became a icy storm. Both the witcher and the Devil knew what this meant.
"A storm is approaching." Geralt said as he headed towards the stables where Lambert was preparing the horses.
"I am the storm." Lucifer said as he summoned the cane to his hand in a flash of light, "Don't dally, Geralt. There might not be any Red Riders left when I'm done."
One of the navigators portal opened outside Kaer Morhen in the woods, unable to be opened closer to the keep thanks to Yennefer's powerful magic field.
A group of Wild Hunt riders, each clad in black armor shaped after skeletons stepped out. Weapons raised, ready to fight to bring Ciri with them to their leader and kill anyone who dared to stand in their way.
The group marched up the path, but they didn't seem to noticed someone leaning against the tree.
"It's cold as Hell here, isn't it?" Lucifer said as the group turned towards him, "Or close to it, anyway." with a shrug before pushing himself off the tree.
The group immediately charged him but all that did was make Lucifer grin, "Let's change that, shall we." he said, before taking his pose to draw his blade.
Lucifer evaded the first two strikes by side-stepping them, before drawing his blade and with a single stroke, three of the Wild Hunt riders was sliced in half just as he placed Paradise Lost back into his cane.
"Well then." Lucifer said with a grin as he slowly stalked forward, "Who is next?"
The Wild Hunt members attempted to rush and overwhelm him, but Lucifer evaded an overhand power attack, using the cane to deflect a strike aimed at his torso.
Lucifer slides back and slashes so quickly that he appears to only unsheath and resheath Paradise Lost. A cone shaped distortion protrudes outward from Lucifer and within that distortion forms a dark blue orb that causes a more intense visual distortion that is then covered in slashes, ripping a few more Red Riders apart.
Lucifer then did a finger snap and a pillar of fire formed around him, reaching high enough to reach above the tree tops. The sheer heat from it turned any unlucky enough to come in contact with it to ashes.
Over in another part of the forest, Geralt and Lambert had dispatched a group of riders, closing the portals with the dimeritium bombs made by Potato.
"Say what you want about that child." Lambert said slightly impressed, "But she knows how to make a bomb."
"Is that approval I hear?" Geralt said as an orange light from a different part of the forest shined down on them as they could see the fire pillar rise into the sky.
"What is your son-in-law doing?" Lamber said upon seeing the magic Lucifer was preforming.
Geralt ignored that comment before he spotted another group led by a much taller Rider, wielding a large mace and a towering shield, "See the commander? Name's Imlerith. I remember him from back when I rode with the hunt."
Geralt shot an arrow in the sky with his crossbow, signaling for Triss to rain fire down on their location. But a few seconds past and nothing happend.
"Something is wrong." the White Wolf realized immediately.
Meanwhile at Kaer Morhen, where a few stragglers had gotten into the keep and where fought off by the defenders. Ciri had gotten out of the keep, having convinced Potato that they should help the others.
If the small girl agreed with her or wanted to fight herself, the two where separated as Ciri ran over the balcony just as Vesemir rolled out of the way of an incoming attack.
"You were meant to wait inside!" Vesemir shouted over the winds.
"I refuse to sit idle while you risk your lives for me." Ciri shouted back over the wind, "Geralt gave the signal from the woods, and Triss hasn't cast the spell!"
"Dammit!" Vesemir said turning to his opponent, "All right! Run to her!"
So she did, using her sword and teleportation magic to fight her way through the keep and towards the balcony where Triss should be. On her way there she saw Zoltan leaping onto one of the Wild Hunt's soldiers, shanking him in the clavicle, then riding the expiring bastard's body off the inner walls to act as a cushion for his landing.
"Duvelsheis!" Zoltan shouted as he kicked his opponent's dead body.
And as she suspected Triss was busy fending off Wild Hunt Riders, Ciri immediately joined in to help her friend.
Ducking under a strike aimed at her head, Ciri used the momentum to slice the Rider's leg off with a single swing. Screaming in pain as his balance was lost, the elf falls to the ground as Ciri spin's around and slices his head clean off.
She turned around to block another attack, before in the same movement stabbing an Rider behind her in the torso. But as she fought, she was blindsided when a large Wild Hunt rider came teleporting in knocking her to the ground by backhanding her to the face.
Before he could reach her, a wall exploded, the force of it knocking the large Wild Hunt Rider back.
Out of the fell a different armored Wild Hunt Rider, dead on the floor as many of its beasts where slain. Out of the hole, stepped Potato, "Aw... It broken." Potato said as she observes the carcass.
"What in the Hells..." large Red Rider said, drawing the attention of the young child as he raised his mace, "This is the best defense you can muster? A child!?"
She scoffed at him as she turned to face her, "Go ahead suka." she said, holding up her small fists, "Try to peel this potato!"
The Wild Hunt Rider swung his mace down but she nimbly ducks under his swing, and evades his next attack, coming up behind him. He turns around and aims an overhead swing at her, but Potato evades it again, making him hit the stone brasser.
Quiet suddenly, Potato slammed against the Rider's back knee, forcing him down before Ciri ran him through with her sword which was enchanted by Triss magic.
To repay him for the slap to her face, Ciri grabs her sword while body-checking the imbalanced Red Rider, sending him plummeting off the ledge.
"Oi!" Potato said giving a thumbs up, "Nice kill secure, Ciri."
Down in the forest, the two witchers are butchering over a dozen Red Riders while dancing the Viroledo group style back in full fore.
Geralt felt something behind him, glancing behind he saw a Red Rider about to stab him in the back. But before the blade could pierce him, a familiar blue ornate dagger telekinetically deflected the attack. The witcher turned around to find Uri, strolling up to him and Lambert.
Like a baton dancer, moving gracefully over the ground, Uri controlled her dagger with such skill and precision that any Red Rider who was stupid enough to march forward was sliced to ribbons, painting the ground with their blood.
"Who is that?" Lambert said using the moment to catch his breath and thanks to the break they got from Uri, the two ran towards their horses.
"She's Uri, a friend." Geralt said and he continued as if he knew his fellow witchers next question, "If she wasn't on our side, we would be dead already."
Uri couldn't help but smile when she realized what Geralt had called her as she ran with them to their horses, "I would have come sooner but my brother called a meeting and I was needed for a meeting back home." Uri explained how and why she was here, "I was at Skellige and I overheard what was going to happen from queen Cerys. So I decided to come to your aid."
"That's good, because we can use all the help we can get." Geralt said as they approached the horses, "Come on, you can ride with me."
"No need. You two go ahead, I'll cover you." Uri said as she turned around, "Besides, I will arrive there before you do." she shot a wink before rushing off.
"What is it with you and red headed sorceresses." Lambert remarked as they mounted and road their horses as fast as they could back to Kaer Morhen.
"She's not a sorceress, or so she claims." Geralt said as another pillar of fire erupted from behind the tree lines, "...Should probably have mentioned her brother is here."
When they just passed the gates, indeed Uri was there to lower it and block out an large incoming detachment from the woods.
"Told you I would get here before you." Uri said cracking a small smile, "About those hellfire pillars in the forest..."
"Should mention it but..." Geralt said just as a portal was sliced open to create a purple rift.
Lucifer stepped out of the portal as it closed behind him, "I saw the fall back signal. I think we need..." he said before spotting the orange haired woman, both of their gazes were being held, "Uri."
"Hey, Luci." she said with a small and emberresed smile.
Lucifer couldn't help but crack a smile, holding open his arms as Uri ran into him and the two embraced.
"It's good to see you again, big bro." Uri said happily as she was lifted off the ground as her favorite brother gave her a bear hug.
"Same here, little sis." Lucifer said as he placed her down, "You aren't here to reap anyone, are you? At least not someone on our side."
Uri shook her head, making her long burnt orange hair dance around her head, "No, neither am I here to reap the souls of the Alder Folk." she said, "I came here of my own free will."
This got a surprised but proud smirk from her brother, who even seemed impressed by what she said.
"Seems everybody knows each other." Geralt said dryly as he looked at the brother and sister, "I thought you said that your sister is Death?"
"That I am. My full name is Uriel, but most people know me as Death." Uri said rubbing the back of her head, "It's still Uri to you, if you don't mind."
"This little family reunion is really touching." Lambert said, "But we need to get a move on, regroup with the others."
"We need to cut off the detachment in the forest, or they will be a problem later." Lucifer said before he turned around to head for the gate, "I'll take care of it."
"I'm coming with you." Uri said, walking up to her brother, "Time for the biggest trouble makers in the Silver City to team up again."
"Uri! You and me against them sounds so unfair!" Lucifer said with a laugh, "Let do it."
The two witchers watches the two walk off, ready to face off against the detachment and funnel as much of the Riders as they can.
"Well... Your son-in-law was right about one thing." Lambert said as he watched the two rush off, "Death really is a slender yet curvaceous woman, especially in terms of her bust size."
During the time that the conversation between the witchers and Archangels took place, the Red Riders had been wailing on the gates, which after great effort, finally broke down.
They marched into Kaer Morhen, only to find Lucifer and Uri, each holding their respective weapons, Paradise Lost and Uriel's Dagger, ready for a fight. The commander took a few seconds when he realized who the two where and what they were up against, being one of the few, "Oh... Shit." he said.
Because what could could be worse than facing Death or the Devil? Face them both.
Meanwhile in the courtyard, a portal is opened and out of it stepped Caranthir, flanked by five other Riders. But they come face-to-face with Eskel.
The navigator stepped forward, the witcher twirled his blade holding it in a reverse grip as they circle each other.
The duel began when Eskel rushed in and struck first with two overhanded blows, but each one was blocked by Caranthir who maintained a two handed grip on his staff. Moving around with a spinning strike, Caranthir evaded and aimed for a Eskel's legs, only for the witcher to jump over it and hitting the navigator while he landed.
While this too was blocked by Caranthir's staff, the Red Rider was forced back.
Eskel kept up the pressure, as he began to hammer down on Caranthir and his staff with fast, quick but powerful strikes.
Creating an opening with a quick flourish, Caranthir unleashed a blast of magic from his staff, knocking the unprepared Eskel to the ground.
As he recovered, Caranthir attempted to smash Eskel with the tip of his staff, only for the witcher to roll out of the way and the two resumed their clash. The bout continued until Caranthir knocked the blade aside which he followed up by a frontal kick against Eskel, giving him some breathing space.
He slammed down his staff, creating a icy white blast on the place Eskel had been a moment ago as he rolled out of the way.
He rolled under the strike from the staff, finding himself at the back of Caranthir. He immediately went for the kill, but before his blade could connect, the navigator had teleported away in a cloud of white snow.
Before Eskel could respond, he was hit in the chest by Caranthir's staff, taking the full force of the blast which send him flying through the air and knocking him to the ground.
Recoiling in pain, the Red Rider approached him, intended to finish his foe off. And he would have done it, if not for the timely arrival of Ciri, her blade clashing against his staff as her vicious assault forced him on the defenses.
She evaded under his strike and when he was about to bring the staff down, she disappeared in a flash of green, striking him in the back and painting the stone and snow red with his blood when she reappeared, having used his own strategy against him.
"See?" Ciri said staring her opponent down, "I can do it too."
Caranthir and his back-up got ready to engage, only for the sound of a horn, echoing through the air called their attention. He gave one last look to the child of the Elder Blood, before turning around and disappearing into a flash of white, leaving her and Eskel to face against the remaining Red Riders.
At the front of the gate, the two angel siblings where making short work of any Red Rider attempting to come close to the entrance.
Lucifer sliced through them with Paradise Lost, before jumping up to a great height, spinning around like deadly drill before throwing his sword around like a deadly boomerang. When he landed on the ground, the impact threw the Red Riders up from the sheer force, slicing them in two as he caught his sword.
"Seems your time as a ruler down in Hell hasn't dulled your edge." Uri said, side-stepping a Red Rider before shooting his head off with a blast of telekinetic energy shot from her index finger.
"Please, Uri." Lucifer said reappearing behind a Red Rider and stabbing him in the back, "There is nothing that can dull my edge."
As suddenly, the magic field surrounding the keep gave away and immediately they where assaulted by a blast of White Frost, the destructive icy winds covering Kaer Morhen.
While the two Archangels were unaffected by it, as Lucifer noted that it was rather pleasant compared to the cold of the Ninth Circle.
But his concerns turned only to one individual, as he felt multiple portals opening inside the inner courtyard.
"Ciri." Lucifer said as here too, more portals opened and multiple Wild Hunt Riders came out.
"Go." Uri urged him to go on, "I'll hold them off." as she turned to face the coming army.
"I expected nothing less from my kin." Lucifer said and he was off at once, "Thanks, little sis."
She gave a nod as she strode forward facing down the army of black clad elves. "All who live know my name." Uri said stepping forward making the dagger float above her open hand, as from her back a pair of long beautiful crimson feathered wings spread, they gave off a ethereal glow.
"And all who oppose me..." Uriel said as her wings spread out, the winds blowing back the first row of soldiers, "Will know Death."
As snow fell down heavily from the sky, Vesemir was knock aside by Imlerith's towering black shield as the General, a group of Riders and Eredin himself have appeared.
"You shan't escape me this time!" Eredin growled having taking a hold of Ciri's hair to keep her from helping her adopted grandfather.
As he began to drag her away, Vesemir evaded Imlerith strike, blocking another downward strike of his mace with his sword, sidestepping a shield bash before flooring the much larger and stronger elf to the ground.
He immediately rushed towards Eredin, who was dragging Ciri towards a portal, attacking but finding himself being held off by Eredin's own parries.
Eredin was forced to led go of Ciri to evade a strike against his midsection. Imlerith, having dropped his mace and shield, came rushing in. The only reason he had an opening was because Vesemir knocked his ward away from the battle with an Aard.
More Riders appeared to surround Ciri, as Imlerith held Vesemir down and began to beat down on the disarmed witcher, only stopping from beating him to death by command of his king.
Vesemir was picked up and held against the wall, telling Ciri to run while Eredin took off the skull place of his helmet and turned to Ciri.
"She will not abandon you." Eredin said with some sadistic glee in his voice, he held out his hand, "You humans ar so... impractical."
Ciri knew what she had to do. With a loud clang, the sword dropped on the stone floor and she walked forward. Ready to give herself up to save a loved one.
As she almost reached Eredin, the sound of metal slice through metal, a loud thud of heavy metal hitting the stone floor, which was only followed by Imlerith's roars of pain.
Ciri saw Vesemir and Imlerith's severed lower arm fall to the ground. The old witcher was beaten but alive as Paradise Lost found it's way back into it's owners hand.
The hand of Lucifer, who was excluding an aura Ciri had never seen on him. As sort of invisible heat that was hiding the inferno deep inside as his eyes began to glow red, his eye white became pitch black. His handsome features burning, like paper burning and drifting away in the wind.
"Cirilla. Bring Vesemir and yourself to safety." Lucifer said with a growl as he resheated his blade, "Go while I still have some control over myself."
Immediately she appeared in a flash of green, helping the older witcher up to his feet, letting him lean on her as she carried him away.
Lucifer gave them an aside glance, making sure she was out of sight as he wouldn't make the same mistake twice, not as had happened with Emily. He turned his full attention towards Eredin, disregarding all the other Riders and their beats around him as their king would be receiving the full extend of his punishment.
"Here we are again, Light Bringer." Eredin said as he and everyone of his soldiers where ready to kill, "How is this going to work? How do we solve our problems."
"Your going to die Eredin." Lucifer said, his voice turning into a deep growl, "For everything you have done to that woman."
"It seems not only humans are impractical." Eredin said shaking his head before placing his face plate back on, "The Devil truly is protecting just a human."
"That is where your wrong." Lucifer growled as he was surrounded by flames, "She is not just a woman." before he was obscured by the towering fire with only his glowing red eyes being able to seen from it as he went full Devil.
Imlerith, having recovered his mace, wanting revenge for his severed arm, charged at the Devil only to find his head being gripped by a claw made of metal and dark red stone, any areas of exposed 'skin' are covered in square scales.
Out of the inferno stepped out a transformed Lucifer, who now towered over everyone in the courtyard. The unrecognizable Devil squeezed down on Imlerith's head, who was dangling a few inches off the ground and failing to escape his grip. With a sickening crunch, the Wild Hunt's General's head was popped like a zit.
"You know, Eredin. After I inflict every possible form of hurt on you, every form of torment you have inflicted, for every single thing you have done to Cirilla, then I will end you." Lucifer's voice echoed with power as he stepped out of the flames, his mere footstep shaking the very ground they stood on, "And when I do, I'm seriously considering a trip down to Hell. Just so I can do it all over again."
Eredin was forced to look up as the Devil approached him, his appearance only seemed to intimidate even his own soldiers and generals and for the first time in what felt in forever, Eredin felt fear.
"Because Cirilla is not just a woman." Lucifer growled as his glowing red eyes looked down on the King of the Wild Hunt, "She is the woman I love."
Before he could raise Paradise Lost to annihilate the Red Riders, the most unexpected of things happened.
Pain, the likes of which Lucifer only ever felt once before in his long immortal life, seared through his back. With the pain came something that had never before happened.
He felt a loss of control over his abilities as a pillar of light surrounded him, shooting high enough into the sky and parting the clouds as everyone in the Kaer Morhen, even Archangel Uriel was forced to their knees as his abilities began to render reality asunder.
Being smart enough that they could not witstand this magical nuke, Caranthir opened enough portals for them to flee through, or rather crawl through for those lucky enough not to be disintegrated into nothingness by Lucifer's pressure.
As he felt the pain in his entire being, the words of his less handsome twins echoed inside his head, "Just so you know, Father will not be merciful for much longer."
"No... Not now!" Lucifer shouted through the pain, "Not until Cirilla is save!" as power and energy exploded around him.
Just as quickly as it had started, the magical maelstrom had stopped and the battle had ended in victory for the defenders of Kaer Morhen.
Uri was the first to arrive, folding her wings back into herself so she looked like a normal human again. She was confused by seeing a massive crater that had formed where she had felt the massive magical pressure.
Before she could inspect further, Geralt, Ciri and Lambert came rushing to her and they too where surprised to see the massive crater.
"What happened here?" Geralt said to the orange haired woman.
"No, idea." Uri said before turning to Ciri with a surprised look, "Fiona?"
"Uri." Ciri said in recognition, before she turned to the crater, "What happened here? Where is Lucifer?"
"Again... I have no idea." Uri said being genuinely as puzzled as they are as nothing comparable has ever happened during her long, though shorter than the other Archangels, immortal life
Ciri looked around before sliding down into the crater, but she found nothing that indicated what happend to Lucifer.
Only one thing stood out in the empty scorched hole. She kneeled down and found a single, white feather, it seemed to gave off an ethereal glow.
And that was the chapter, hope you enjoyed. Anyways many thanks to everyone who read, reviews, favorites or follows this, you beauties.
I tried to include as many of the cool scenes of the Battle of Kaer Morhen, if some of your favorite didn't make it in, they still did happen, but Lucifer, Ciri, Uri or Potato weren't there to witness it.
I know, I did another tease of Lucifer's full Devil form, but I'm saving the full reveal for a more important moment.
Anyways, I hope you will join me next time. Bye for now.
