Dawn’s pale fingers slipped through Kaer Morhen’s shutter cracks, gilding stone walls in soft gold. Outside, crows cawed faintly against the wind’s low hum in the passes. Inside, heavy furs held back the chill, preserving a pocket of warmth. Geralt lay still, his breathing syncing with the hearth’s dying embers. The scent of leather, steel, and dried herbs clung to him, softened by night’s smoke. Sleep had eased the hard lines of his scarred face, revealing a rare tranquility. Sunlight deepened, washing over the bed and catching the silver strands of his hair. The air was crisp, carrying pine resin from the valley below. It was a moment suspended in time—no monsters, no contracts, just the quiet rhythm of his chest and the keep’s peaceful silence.
