Many innocents paid with their lives, yes. The victors weren't any kinder to us than our people had been to them. In the end, our survivors realized we had to leave and start over in faraway places. There is nothing left for us at home, and staying would have only doomed us and everyone who tried to protect us.
Are you far away from home? I would think a bard has to travel far, too.
And no, I don't need to throw my sword. You just stand on it. I guess it takes good balance, especially when you are high up where the winds are strong. I could take you flying sometime?
There's never victors in wars, only those who get to decide what's right or wrong once things end. And they're not always fair. Quite saddening, the world is a too harsh place. But I believe that gives us more reason to try and make it better.
I am. Due to my profession, I keep walking the continent and I prefer that over staying in one place bored out of my mind and letting the contempt about the problems of the world grow. I like to be when the adventure is, to meet new people, to understand their struggles. Staying idle is difficult for me.
Uh, I'll have to ask Geralt if he's heard about that. Ah, really? I'd love that!
Then I'll take you flying, it's a promise. Start honing your balance.
It's strange, my life has been traveling, meeting new people and places for years now but if I had the choice, I would best like to live a quiet life at home surrounded by my family. I never wished for anything else. [ But she will never be able to return, returning would be a death sentence. ]
I might be traveling constantly but I can understand that feeling. Being able to settle and not having to worry about those who care about getting in danger makes a big difference.
You could visit me, I don't think anybody would bother you or your family here. You had a brother...?
Yes. When we all scattered we couldn't travel together, we would have been too easily recognized together. Everybody knew we would never separate if we could help it.
I miss him. I hope I will see him again soon. He will know to find me when I call.
That makes sense it does sound safer. Sorry that you had to part ways, though, that's never easy.
He can heard you from a distance? I know some witches in my world can talk with their thoughts and use that mind reading magic but it's not that common.
I'm not actually certain I will be able to call him. We never had the chance to test it, certainly not at such distance. But our friend could call him and I hope that I can do it, too, and that the distance doesn't matter when spiritual energy is involved.
[ She just... really needs to believe that. ]
There would be other ways to call him, too. We have ways of sending messages, I could use my powers on a bird and send it out. But calling him with the flute would be most reliable at such distance.
