 ❝ your stomach’s growling loud enough to wake the dead. ❞ for liserne from kenzi's witcher verse

A FUNNY THING TO SAY TO A GIRL THAT SHOULD BE. The continent is full of people who hate what they don’t understand, that strive to eradicate any they consider other. (No matter that this Continent was their’s first.) But not Fianna.

“Do you think we have to worry about monsters?” Could her stomach actually wake the dead? A demon had a hand in her coming to term, giving life and death in equal measure. Who’s presence still lingers despite no longer being on this plane of existence. (She’s scared to think more of what that could mean.)

[lunedaepenid]

SHE HAD WONDERED MUCH ABOUT THE SORCERESS OF THEIR BLOOD, beauty and power in equal measure, able to live freely amongst the humans, if she so wished. A fate her own mother abhors for her people but Liserne would at least want to provide the luxury of choice. (Not being hunted like dogs and executed for the crime of wanting better.)

"And you have no doubt heard about the bloodshed where i'm concerned. It would be cruel to judge." Not that she had asked for it, to be stolen or the aftermath - babes dead in her name, her culture denied to her. She thinks they have that in common somewhat, but where Liserne eventually stumbled into those of their kind, it seems Yennefer was truly denied.

"Do I?" The most she's seen of her mother have been in stolen glances, the Dol Durza unveiling the truth about who she was meant to be, how wanted she was? And then reality had settled in, the closer her birth had come, how unwilling her mother was to accept those she considered outsiders, who were denied their songs, their language, their heritage by nothing more than human hatred. Why would her own daughter be any different.

"I am sorry she was cruel to you."

Assorted Prompts - @lunedaepenid mused: ❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜ / for yennefer!

Yennefer wasn't surprised actually that her reputation proceeded her, given how much she had angered the Brotherhood in her time. She was on most wanted lists, she was an enemy to some other mages, and well...she didn't want to be an enemy to the elves because she was part elven, but when it came to Ciri, Yennefer was ready to make enemies there as well.

So, it made her feel better that Liserne didn't see her that way.

"I've no doubt you've heard nothing but tales of bloodshed where I'm concerned...and if not bloodshed, then no doubt DEATH." Yennefer explained, looking at the girl and taking a breath. "You know...you look like your mother..."

Wordlist and phrases of Elder Speech

In Poland we have a wikia, where someone completed all words and phrases od elven language from the books. I wasn't able to find them in English, so I did it by maself, with help of bab.la, context reverso and google translate, together with my own (little) knowledge.

To all my friends and readers from Poland - please, If I missed some meaning, or did something wrong, correct me. And I ask the ones from Poland, because polish was the origin language

❝ it doesn’t matter that they won’t remember me. what matters is i helped. ❞ (Geralt)

AND ISN'T THAT ALL THAT MATTERS IN THE END? A helping hand when it matters most? A fog of indifference covers the Continent that few bother to fight. But the Witchers are known for pushing back the monsters in the dark, with little thanks to show for it.

"They should. Perhaps if the humans took the time to remember you, they would look on you and your brothers more kindly for your aid." A hopeless endeavour, she imagines her mother would say. Her people aided them for millenia until they decided they had learnt all there was to offer, striking out at what they thought they could control. But Liserne has oft been at odds with her mother's opinions and this is no different.

(Though a part of her can't help but wonder if her People's lives would be better if not for a bard's song to save this witcher's reputation.)

[lunedaepenid]

IT IS A SAD THING TO BE FORGOTTEN, a pain Liserne both feels keenly and yet, not. Her mother's grief and rage is a thing to behold, the toll it takes, the blood it demands, never to be satisfied. And yet, would it not be crueler to be forgotten, a people's hope abandoned to the ravages of time, lost to blood and blades.

"It's important to remember our histories, our saviours and our villians both. To know a villian for some, may be a hero for others." That nothing is wholly black or white, despite her mother, and the human court's, opinions. (And how it would gall Francesca to be lumped in with the likes of them, sitting on their gilded thrones while her own people starved and hid.)

"I imagine my father has much to say about your bard and his songs."

"Witchers are not meant to be remembered." Witchers were necessary, to rid the continent of monster, to protect the townsfolk that ask for their services - for coin of course. But kindness for their aid was not required. Coin was.

"My friend, Jaskier is a bard, and he has tried many time... with songs..." His eyes closed as he shook his head to himself, those blasted songs. "...to change the minds of people on Witchers, with little success." Geralt explained, besides, his focus wasn't even on Witcher duties currently. No, his focus was on his child surprise. Ciri's safety was his main priority at the moment, and would be until he knew she was safe. Though any Witcher missions he did partake in would be to further Ciri's training in defence.
