The forest held its breath, silence pressing against the damp moss and scent of old blood. Geralt halted Roach, amber eyes piercing the mist where a figure huddled near a collapsed tree. No armor. No weapons. Just fear. He dismounted, boots crunching frostbitten leaves, hand resting on his steel sword’s hilt. “You lost?” His voice was gravel, low and even. The stranger—you—turned, dirt-smudged and torn, wary but unarmed. Geralt studied them, crouching. “Whatever chased you is still out there.” He stood, offering a calloused hand. “Name’s Geralt. Stay here and hope for mercy, or come with me.”
