Arriving in Skellige

I found a ship that will take me to Skellige. The captain is a sorry excuse for a man though. After a week on the water I could see the shores of Ard Skellige. Clan An Craite owns this isle apparently. I have been wondering who Gaunter wants me to take care of on Ard Skellige. These lands are filled with great warrior's and history. Soon we dock and I make my way to the local tavern. Their are men brawling outside for coin. Gotta say the energy here is quite lively.

I enter the tavern and see a big fire in the center of the room surrounded by tables. They are roasting a big boar. There seems to be a big party going on right now. Soon I hear a familiar voice call out to me.

"Cera!, over here!" I look towards the voice and see Gaunter. He is sitting with some merchants I came with on the boat.

"I guess you beat me here." I say not surprised. I would've used my power if I knew where I was going. I can't teleport to somewhere I haven't seen or been to before. I am to afraid to do long distance teleports with no information. I could land somewhere I am unfamiliar with.

"I would have brought you myself, however I figured you would best learn of the history on a trip here." He said to me in a knowing tone. I did learn a lot about Skellige on my trip here. Now I know most of the major places here. So it was a good idea.

"We should get down to business. The man you are after is named Solveig. A rapist and thief. He is actually here on Ard Skellige. He has a lot of bandit followers, but I know you can handle them. It would be wise if you use your full capabilities to make this go much faster." I have a feeling it won't be as simple as he is making it out to be.

"Can I ask how many more after this man?" I ask him. I won't lie, I miss my friends already. Hopefully I am prepared. I have never killed another man before.

"11 more after this. Each one will be harder than the last. This journey will take you and I awhile to complete." Wow, 11 more. They are all over too. Well, it's not like I have much choice.

"He stays at the northern most part of the island. Hold up in an old fort with a lighthouse. I would suggest you check if your gear is in order. I will meet you there when you confront Solveig. I want words with him." As soon as he says that he gets up and leaves. I guess I should rest tonight and make my way there tomorrow. I ask the in-keep how much a room is and he told me Gaunter already paid for one. I head to it and hit the sack.

I have been up for days looking for Cera's magical signature. I can't believe I lost him like that. He was right in front of me than he was gone. Geralt is worried that I am over working myself. I don't care about that right now, all I want is to find him. That demon can't be trusted. I hear footsteps approach and see its Geralt and Vesemir.

"I get that you are looking for him, but maybe it's time to try something different." Vesemir says to me. I am not in the mood to hear this right now.

"I will find him, even if I have to die to do so." I say with 100 percent confidence. I will not let any harm come to my Cera.

"Well I don't blame you for acting like this. Ciri wanted to go look for Cera with Geralt. Maybe if we split up it will be a good idea." Vesemir says to me. I really don't care what you do. Just make sure its helping to find Cera in any way.

"I think its time I take Ciri on the path anyway. Her training is good enough for her to come with me." Geralt told me. I am sure Ciri would be happy if not for the current predicament. I will need to ask for help from all my oldest friends.

"Then good luck on your journey. I will be searching the obvious places where he might of taken Cera. Splitting up does sound like a good idea." I need to get some sleep. I quit casting magic and turn to them and say one last thing.

"This may be the last time we speak for awhile. My sole focus will be finding Cera." I then make my way out of the room and head to my bedroom. I think this is the first time I have slept in 9 days. Geez Cera, what have you done to me.

~~~(POV Ciri)~~~

I will find you Cera, I promise. I finish packing my things and make my way out to the main court yard where Geralt is waiting for me. I walk up to him and ask him an important question.

"Where are we heading first?" I ask him calmly. I have every confidence that we can find him if Geralt is tracking him. I hope that I find him before he does anything stupid. I am happy about one thing though. I can finally use my powers. I know that this will raise the odds of us finding him. I am catching on pretty quickly too.

"If we need information. Then the best place to go is Novigrad. They are the biggest city and sell all the information you can think of." So Novigrad huh. Cera always wanted to see that place. I guess he will see lots of places.

"Do you think that he's okay?" I ask Geralt. This whole situation has made me a little weak in the heart. I am also planning to separate from Geralt in a few years. I feel like he is constantly holding my hand. If we can't find Cera by then, than I'll look for him myself. They did say it would be better to split up.

[Big time skip coming next chapter. I want to get the story rolling, but I can't do that if Cera is still a kid. This next one will be the last big one and will take place at the beginning of Witcher 3. It will have the same general story. I'll just fit in Cera where I need to.]
