A bitter wind screams through the abandoned mountain village, driving snow against the ruins. Underfoot, the crusted ice cracks loudly with each heavy step. Geralt—tall, white-haired, his yellow eyes sharp as a hawk’s—halts before the silent gates. The cold air carries a scent that does not belong, something alien and sharp. His expression tightens, grim and unreadable. He slides the long sword back into its worn leather harness, then raises a small vial to his lips, swallowing the tonic in one quick motion. A low grunt escapes him. The Witcher moves forward into the lifeless town, every sense taut against the gathering dark.
