Chapter 19: Chapter 19
"Aiden, I want a smooth dance, not a drunken one.
"Your steps are too close together, do it again"
"YES!"
After I woke up I was informed of the situation or rather it was the 2 witches who explained it to me, but when I saw them I was surprised, as I easily recognized that they were Yennefer and Triss, although I admit, I reacted like a child when I saw Yennefer, maybe some people would laugh at me for blushing when they saw her.
But think of me, I've always been in the hospital and when you see a woman as beautiful as Yen, I couldn't help but have a slight crush, even though I knew it was virtual, but who knew I would end up in the witchering world and especially seeing Yen, so forgive me for acting like a child.
Although I knew that Yen saw me as a child, because seeing that I was blushing, she teased me about it to my chagrin.
Triss and Yen were at Kaer Morhen castle teaching us how to handle our powers, I was with Triss as my power was rather offensive while Ciri was with Yen, and from what I heard they are not friends, instead Yen was teasing Ciri about something and although I tried to find out more Ciri didn't answer me and always avoided me right afterwards, maybe the teenage crisis?
Finally, after I woke up, I immediately resumed my training, because according to Geralt, the herb test is coming, and I need to be 100% operational; according to Geralt, it will take about 11 months to recover everything for the trial
"Come on, that's enough."
Catching my breath, I started to stretch my muscles it wasn't exhaustion, but rather soreness, because the dance you have to know fencing in wolf school, it's a lot of that, you have to get your muscles used to recognizing the movements and make it instinctive.
"You're getting better, but your steps are still stiff, and your body isn't used to it yet, but that will resolve itself in time."
"Come, Triss is waiting for you."
I walked towards a wide plain where Tris, seeing me, smiled at me.
"So, how are you?"
"Mmh I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Geralt, don't overdo it, just tell me, and I'll take care of it."
Seeing this, I was moved, because even though I miss my mother and was used to no one lending me that sweetness, with Triss taking care of me like that, I couldn't believe I thought I didn't need it.....
A motherly sweetness.
Many say it's unnecessary, but everyone wants to come home and see their mother smiling at them, congratulating them on their day, reassuring them in the terrible moments, nursing them when they're in pain, and most of all realising too late that they were loved.....
"I'm sorry I hurt you."
"Huh?"
"Aiden, are you crying, tell me what's wrong?"
Without realising it, tears were flowing from my eyes, surprised by this, I wiped my eyes which at the time of the rubbing were still red.
"No, it's nothing, I'm just happy."
"I see, tell me if there is anything."
"Yes."
Then we walked out into the middle of the plain where Triss started singing then a dome made of magic appeared then Triss losing that sweetness looked at me seriously.
"Aiden, what do you know about magic?"
I had never asked myself this question, then thinking of the answer I decided to bring it up.
"Isn't magic everywhere and everyone is capable of using it?".
"You are right about one thing, magic is in everything, air, man, wildlife everywhere, but many people can't use magic or some are limited."
"For example, witcher use signs to summon the elements, but if their finger is broken or cut off then they can never use the signs which limits the use, plus a recharge time is required."
"But you should know that magic can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the individual."
"Well, today I'm going to teach you how to control the magic in your body, sit quietly."
Listening to what she was saying, I sat down on a log that was curiously right behind me, sat down and then took a breath.
"Now calm down and clear your mind."
I began to do what Geralt taught me about meditation, throw away everything that isn't necessary, focus your senses and only your senses.
"Okay, now I'm going to put my hand on your back to provoke a reaction, it's okay if it stings."
So Triss put her hand on my back and ejected magic and boy, it wasn't just a tingle, it felt like something was being rammed into my body with a heavy object, breathing in big gulps of air, I couldn't feel my breath getting much colder.
"Now imagine your magic, what do you think magic looks like? "
What I think about magic. According to the news, magic is everywhere and has no obstacles, what is the same? Electricity? No, life? Too abstract, I don't know what it looks like in Life
Hmm? I do.
"Water."
"Well, imagine water flowing through you."
I began to imagine a river instead of my blood, and I was beginning to get the hang of it, I could see a trail of water through my body and then like a still pond, I watched it flow into some kind of cave, deciding to extend this experience and when I got into the cave I could see water flowing into a frozen pond and right next to it was a small green square shaped ground in which just a small bush was there with a...
Swallow?
The swallow looked at me and then flew towards me, trying to protect at least my face, I came out all sweaty with Triss looking at me with a flame shield.
"Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, what happened?"
I looked around and could see that everything around me was frozen.
"After you went into deep meditation, normally reserved for more experienced wizards, you started giving off more and more cold air, I had to activate flames to keep the cold from freezing everything"
"What did you see?"
Explaining what I saw, Triss remained silent and then gave me my answer.
"You must have penetrated what is called the mana core."
"The mana core is where your magic storage is, but more importantly, it detects the true nature of your power for example fire if its mana is chaotic, it can lead to the mage becoming evil."
"But a frozen lake and a swallow never heard of that"
I was unhappy that I didn't know more because I admit it, I want to know what is happening to me already Ciri's powers and now this ice power, I would like to have answers.
Perhaps seeing that I was disappointed, Triss sat down next to me and pulled my head into her lap as Triss began to gently stroke my hair.
"You know, there's no point in asking questions when you're sure you'll never get them for a while, but I can promise you that you'll get them one day after all, doesn't the truth open up to the most righteous?"
Triss smiled gently at me as she continued to stroke my hair.
"Triss, how did you know Geralt?"
"Hihi, you want to know."
"Yes!"
"Well, then it all started..." (read the story of how Triss met and fell in love with Geralt in the fandom specialising in this area).
Ignoring the 2, a white-haired man who was sitting on the tree smiled at them before leaving for the castle to train the 2nd child
