Chapter 52
The child of the elder blood
Takato Pov: it was a few hours since we went to get the sun stone. Philippa words about Ciri have us concern as we can't let the sorceress have her way. We need to protect Ciri from her and the wild hunt. Not to mention we need to deal with the hazardous one and his lackeys. Right now were on a boat bound for the island where we are meeting with Yennefer and Ciri. They found out that Avallac'h have a lab in Skellige that he didn't want Ciri to see. Chances are he is hiding something and since I don't trust him as far as I can throw him it best to check it out. "I swear I want to fairy glitter her ass so fucking harder." Rika shout frustrated as she lean back in the boat as we travel to our destination. "I know Rika, Philippa words got to all of us, everyone think they know what best for Ciri." I said. "Everyone want Ciri for a reason, they simply refuse to leave her alone." Geralt said. "Your telling, but what can we do, there no where in the world she can hide." Kenji said. "Well if she she came with us back to remnant." Elize said as we look at her.
"Huh you might be onto something, in our world Ciri can start over with out anyone telling her what to do." I said. 'Not to mention she want to help people, she can become a huntress. Plenty of monster and grimm to fight." Rika said. 'You all are willing to do that for her?" Geralt ask. 'Of course, you and Yen can come too if you want." I said. Geralt look to think." "it might be nice." He said. "Is that the place?" Hackmon said as we were coming to a small island. "Must be let get on land and check." I said as we soon dock at the island. We head into a cave to see it was a ruin of sort. Yennefer, Ciri and Hikari were waiting out side a door that was block by a barrier. "Entrance is very well protected. I believe we'll find something interesting inside..." Yennefer said. "How will you lift the barrier?" Ciri ask. "Atlan Kerk's inclusion should do the trick. Remember the spell?" Yennefer ask. "I remember you teaching me. And to think I thought you an overbearing, cold shrew at the time." Ciri said.
"Now, now. This is no time to get soppy." Yennefer said as we walk over to them. "So? Any incriminating letters? Closets full of skeletons?" Geralt ask. "We've not even opened the door yet." Ciri said. 'Really, figure you guys would be done while we were getting the sun stone." Rika said. "It's a highly complex magic barrier. Let's try... Geata'ar ligen!" Yennefer said as she cast the spell. We heard something behind us as we saw the golems along the walls came to life. 'Oh fuck me didn't we already fought one of these assholes today?" Kenji ask annoy. "We'll take care of this get the door open." I said as my team move to face the golems. "Digi-modify Digivolvtion activate!" We shout.
Digivolvtion
Guilmon digivolve to Growlmon
Renamon digivolve to Kyuubimon
Hackmon digivolve to Baohackmon
Lunamon digivolve to Lekismon
'Burn them away Moreu Ryu!" I shout as I brought out my shikai. "Moeru Talho!" I shout as I thrust my sword forward to shoot the fire blast to push a golem back as Growlmon charge at is. "Dragon slash!" He shout as he slam his claw against it shattering it to pieces. "Star dress Aries form!" Rika shout as she change form. "Wool bind!" She shout as she shot the wool as it wrap around the golem trapping it. "Dragon wheel!" Kyuubimon shout as she send the flame dragon toward the trap monster taking it out. Kenji was dodging a golem fist as he slid under it sliceing it legs off at the knees. "Fif cross!" Baohackmon shout as he strike the golem in the chest smashing it to bits. "Lekismon I'll boost you! Arms!" Elize shout as Lekismon started to glow as Elize power her. Lekismon jump high into the air. "Moon night kick!" She shout as she dive at the last golem and slam her foot into in chest to shatter it. Once they were defeat the Digimon turn back to normal and the door to the lab open.
"Come." Yennefer said as we head inside. The inside look pretty nice for being out in the middle of no where. "Pretty cozy. Doesn't look much of a lab at all." Geralt said. 'Yeah, it more like a hide away, Avallac'h have one in Velen. He must have several around the world." I said as we look around. "What exactly are we looking for?" Lunamon ask as she got onto Elize back to get a better look. "Any thing that can show us what Avallac'h is really after." Geralt said. "It's a bit low, isn't it? Rummaging through his papers?" Ciri said not looking sure about this. "Hey it was your idea to come here Ciri." Rika said. We and Geralt soon found pictures of Ciri on the table. "Portrait of Ciri, I think." Geralt said. "No, that's not me. Where's the scar?" She said as she look at it. "It's definitely you. Hm, really captured you. Sure Avallac'h only interested in you for your magic abilities?" Geralt joke. "Very funny." She said with a roll of her eyes. "Takato look food." Guilmon said as we saw a plate of fresh fruit on a table. There was even wine with it.
"It seems someone was literally just here..." Yennefer said. "But Avalalc'h is on the ship." Geralt said. 'True, but if he not here then look is?" Renamon ask. 'An assistant maybe?" Geralt ask. "No, somehow doesn't seem like Avallac'h to have one." Yennefer said. "Let keep looking around." I said as we got back to searching. 'hey what this?" Rika ask as we saw she was looking at a mural on the wall. It was large as it look like a family tree of sorts. "Riannon. Amvet. Finoa. Corbett the Cintrian. Muriel. Adalia. Calanthe. Pavetta..." Ciri said as she read off the names on the mural. "What are we looking at here?" I ask. "Genealogical chart of the Aen Hen Ichaer, the Elder Blood. From Lara Dorren..." Geralt said. "To me. You never showed me the full version. I had no idea Videmont of Aedirn was an ancestor. Was he the one who punished his daughters with a hot iron, or the one who had his own father's eyes gouged out?" Ciri ask.
"Him of the daughters. My, even I'd never seen the full version. Seems Avallac'h has analyzed all the paths of Lara's gene, even those we thought extinct." Yennefer said. "This prove he have an interest in Ciri power. We should try to learn more." I said. "Let's look at his notes." Geralt said as Yen look at the notes on the desk. "Gods... He's spent over two centuries on this. He was the first to study Lara's gene. Falka... Mh, some entries about Ciri... But it's here, later, that things get interesting. He actually tried to cultivate a genetic mix like Ciri's. But one excluding the human line." Yennefer said. 'So what he trying to make a elf clone of Ciri?" Rika ask. 'And I thought Kurotsuchi was insane." I said with disgust. 'So what we should be looking for jars holding my siblings?" Ciri ask. "Don't be foolish! Avallac'h never got that far. Apparently, all his experiments ended in failure. You are unique." Yennefer said trying to Assure Ciri. "And that's why we've the Wild Hunt to contend with. Let's ferret on - see if we can't find something even more interesting." Ciri said as we head something coming from the other room.
"Someone else is here." I said as we step into the next room. There we found an elf woman sitting at a mirror. "How did you get in here?" She shout as she notice us and step back. 'Wait we won't hurt you." Elize said trying to come the woman. 'I don't care get out!" She shout as she saw Ciri. "You...I remember you. From Tir ná Lia." Ciri said. "Remarkable. I thought all elves looked alike to those of your race. If it's Avallac'h you seek, he's not here." She said clearly not happy to see Ciri. "I know." Ciri said as the woman glare at her. "And yet you come here? What for? To spy on him? He tries his damnest to save you every time you do something stupid - is that not enough?" She ask. "What can you possibly know about that?" Cir ask getting in the elf face. "You'd be surprised. He's told me a great deal about you." The elf said with a smirk. "Like what?" Geralt ask. "He said you shared Lara's features - I don't see whatever it is he sees. It seems a bit like trying to drink water from a mud puddle. But... I imagine that belief somehow helps him with his task." The elf said.
"What are you talking about what task?" I ask. "Do you think he trails you everywhere for pleasure? Even I grow ill at the sight of you." She said. This bitch is starting to get on my nerves. "It's incredible how those like you still believe you're superior to humans - in any way." Yennefer said. "She's no human. She's a degenerate half-breed. To have no choice but to use something like that - it's humiliating." The elf said as she end up getting punch in the face by Rika as she get knock to the ground with a bloody nose. "Keep talking bitch or I will end you." Rika threaten her. "You'll change nothing. She must do what she must. Then Avallac'h will finally be free of her." The elf said as she got up and leave the room. "If he hates me so deeply, why didn't he just tell me to my face?" Ciri ask upset. "Ciri, you didn't actually believe her, did you? She's, uh... personally involved in the matter, that's clear." Geralt said. 'Don't let what she said get to you." Rika said. "If they despise me so, they should leave me be!" Ciri shout. "You should calm down." I said.
"What?! Do you fear I'll level this place like I did Kaer Morhen? Shame I can't do that at will, because I'd really like to now!" Ciri shout. Geralt smirk as he knock a bottle onto the ground breaking it. He look at Ciri and smile. She smile back as she started to trash the place. Kenji let out a laugh as he kick over a table to join in. "Shall we?" I ask Rika who smirk. "Of course my dear goggle head." She said as she took out her weapon and shot at the mural leaving holed in it. I use my sword to slice a book case in half as Elize even join in as she flip the food trsay over making a mess. We continue to wreck the place until we got it out of our systems. Once were done we head to the boat. "Must we return to the boat right away?" Ciri ask. "Something else you wanna see?" Geralt ask. "Not here. On Hindarsfjall. In Lofoten. I met a young man, Skjall, and I'd like to check up on." Ciri said. "We would like to give him our thanks for helping us a while back." Rika said as we all look at each other worry. 'Takato what is it?" Rika ask me.
I rub the back of my head. "The thing is Skjall dead, he was killed sometime after you left by this werewolf. His soul pass on. I'm sorry." I said sadly as they gasp. "Will you visit his grave with me? I'd like to...say goodbye." Ciri said. 'Me too." Rika said. "I'll go with you." Geralt said. " We all will." I said. "Thank you. Could you open a portal - to Hindarsfjall?" Ciri ask. I can." Yen said as she open the portal and we walk through it. Once we reach Hindarsfjall we head to the graveyard. "Let's look around. Should be a relatively fresh grave mound" Geralt said. "Thank you for coming. I detest graveyards, especially wandering them alone." Ciri said. 'Were happy to help Ciri." Elize said as we started to look around. "I never like coming to these place44s." I said as we search. " Aren't you all about ghost and want now, I mean this place would be your idea hang out." Kenji said. 'No, it reminds me of all the people we lost or could have save." I said. "I dislike them as well remind me too much of work. Always hunting some ghoul or rotfiend. " Geralt said.
"Ah, frankly, I'd rather have come here with a contract, to do some witchers' work." Ciri said as she look at the head stones. "Lasse, son of Njord... Olaf, son of Ove... Ynge, daughter of Trottnir... Dammit. He's not here. Skjall has no grave! Geralt, I shan't leave until I bury him. Think... The body... What could have become of it?" Ciri ask worry. "They didn't burn it. Save that honor for kings and heroes. Doubt they left him in the garden, too. Hm." Geralt said. " Then where the hell is he?" Rika said. "The bastards!" Ciri shout anger. "What is it Ciri?" I ask. "Beyond the village - there's a pit. They fill it with sheep taken by blackleg. Crabs pick at their bones at night." Ciri said as she ran a head. We follow her was we soon came to a large pit fill with bodies of animals with Skjall body on top. "Oh Skjall." Ciri said as she cover her mouth. "Fuckers." Rika said as she cover Hikari eyes. "Kenji Geralt help me get him out, were going to properly bury him." I said as we went to get to work.
We move the body to a sea side cliff as we bury Skjall. Hikari place flowers on the grave as we said our prayers to him. We soon saw people coming to us. " What're you doin'?" A woman ask. 'What you should've done long ago. We're burying Skjall." Ciri said. "Buryin' Craven? You defy the writ of the elders. Be gone, leave this place. You defile our laws!" a man said. 'Fuck your laws!" Rika shout at him. "Craven's place is in the ditch." The man said as he got punch by Ciri. "Ugh. Skjall saved your bloody lives! The Wild Hunt was after me. Had Skjall not led me away then... Why, they would've reduced Lofoten to ash." Ciri said. "What would the specters be wantin' of some lass who-" The woman said as Ciri cut her off. "I am not some lass. And anyone who so much as touches this grave will learn that the hard way." She said as she was ready to attack. "That goes for us as well." I said as the rest of us were ready to join in. The people back off from us. "Aye, none will disturb it. Desecratin' graves - well...it's the only you said... Can't know the truth of it. The gods'll judge Skjall now." The man said as they walk away.
"We were right to come. I was deeply troubled. You've no idea." Ciri said. "That it was, we should head back." Rika said. "Yeah we now have everything we need to finish this." I said as we head for a boat to take us back to the others. Now it time to get ready for the final battle with the wild hunt.
