MLTO C5, P4

This is the fourth Part of "MLIV:TO" 's fifth Chapter.
It was released on 08.03.2023.
== Plot ==
Before they take their adventures to the lands of Avernum, our heroes make a mutual decision to stay on the Surface for a little longer and enjoy it while they still can. The lands below are dark and treacherous, so they want to see the sunlight for a while more, as their mission might take a little more time to complete.
Just as they think that they have finally saved the world from another villain, however, another ones comes by to replace him. Apparently, Cynthia Braveheart- daughter of Jonathan and Gloria Braveheart and sister of Cyrus Braveheart- our heroes' trusted companion and ever-faithful ally, has gotten herself in a lot of trouble. A notorious bandit leader, known simply by the name Duncan Doyle, has decided that he wants her hand. All of a sudden, he started to blackmail the Braveheart family to give him their blessing, but he received nothing more than resistance and contempt. Thus, he was forced to use more... questionable methods. 
His horrible deeds eventually led to him cornering Cynthia and forcing her parents to give him everything that he deserves, threatening that he will take everything that they have if they refuse.
Will our heroes be able to save the fair maiden from a fate worse than a painful demise?
== Story ==
It takes a while for our heroes to reach the end of the trail, but they soon get much closer to their goal- getting into the lands of Avernum for the first time. Of course, they have to experience a security check, but it is nothing more than a short and boring break from the events that happened half an hour ago. 
Left unimpeded by the shackles of Life, the younglings approach the portal, dreaming of seeing how beautiful the lands below actually are.
Just as our heroes start to step through the portal to Avernum, Kaiden stops them.
"Hold on!"- He exclaims- "Are we sure that we want to go in there just yet?"
Geralt raises his eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that, Kai?"- He asks- "This is our duty. We must not forget it."
Kaiden nods.
"That's true, but I've always felt we're way too... dutiful. Too serious."- He says- "I know that I'm not the right person to say this, but maybe we should stay on the Surface for a while longer? Maybe we can actually enjoy ourselves for a short time!"
Geralt looks at the rest of his allies.
"Do you intend to talk me down, too?"- He asks them- "If so, I do not think that you will succeed."
As Geralt tries to talk some more, Kaiden sighs and places his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"Listen, Geralt. You're way too stressed out."- He says- "You've always been thinking about things that are always on our minds. Duties, duties and even more duties. I mean, that's a great thing. It shows just how much you've grown up. But this is not what Kia wanted. Before she died, she told me how much she wants to encourage you to smile. She was fond of your cheerful attitude and she... she treasured it. She went down with the wishful thinking that you will keep on smiling."
He smiles.
"So, why don't you?"- He asks him- "Nothing's stopping you right now.'
Geralt looks at him.
"Except for the hundred miles between me and Redmark."
Kaiden frowns.
"Oh, you're such a bore!"- He exclaims- "Come on, cheer up! Life is not just about duties and adventures! We've got to enjoy it at its fullest!"
Geralt looks down.
"It is easy for you to say, Kai. You are not the one who is forced to watch the whole world burn with his own eyes."- He says- "You do not know who I am. Not anymore."
Kaiden sighs.
"On the contrary, I do."- He responds- "That's why I'm trying to help you."
He smiles.
"So, what do you say?"- He says- "Shall we?"
Geralt looks up. All of a sudden, a wave of rage breezes its way into his mind. He becomes very angry and pushes his brother away, as if he said something insulting to him.
"I said that I do not want this!"- He yells- "Can't you take a hint?!"
Aurelia and Dante stare at him, in a way as if they think he is another person.
"Goodness, Geralt! Stop it!"- Aurelia exclaims- "This is not the real you! Pull yourself together! Please!"
Geralt glares at her.
"Say that to the child who was scarred so many years ago!"
He clenches his fists, as if he is about to ditch his allies and go into the portal himself. However, he soon realizes what is going on and sighs.
"Just... leave me to my sorrows."- He mutters- "Have as much fun as you want. I will call you back as soon as I am ready."
Kaiden attempts to persuade Geralt to join them, but Dante shakes his head.
"No, Kaiden. Let him."- He says- "If this is what cousin Geralt wants, it is what we shall give him."
The three of them leave Geralt behind. As they do, Kaiden and Aurelia look back at him, watching as he sits elsewhere.
"He's had a pretty bad day, huh?"- Aurelia asks- "I feel bad that we tried to push him like that... "
Kaiden sighs.
"No, Aurelia. It's my fault."- He says- "Mentioning Kiara in such a light has always caused by brother to become very angry. He even lashes out at me, thinking that I may have been reponsible for what happened to her. And you know what? He's probably right."
He shakes his head.
"Let's just forget about it for now, okay?"- He adds- "Eventually, everything will go back to normal. The heart needs time to mend."
Aurelia nods.
"I won't be annoying. I already know my place."- She says- "Geralt wants to rest? Well, I don't mind."
As the two of them walk away, Geralt looks down and sighs.
"It happened again. My anger... my fury... I lashed it all out. Just like that, I made a fool out of myself."- He says to himself- "Why, Kiki? Why should I always be like this? Why don't I just treat those people with the respect that they deserve and not act like a wild wolf?"
A young woman sits next to him and smiles.
"Hello there!"- She says.
Geralt looks up.
"Umm, hello."- He says- "Can I... help you?"
The girl continues to smile.
"Oh, I just wanted to say hello!"- She says- "I like to meet new people! It's always so exciting to get to know my fellow denizens of the world!"
Geralt smiles sadly.
"Well, that is good."- He says- "You remind me of the time when I used to be younger. I was always so energetic, so eager to explore the world. The people on the streets fascinated me and I was glad that I got to know them."
He sighs.
"But those happier times are over for me."- He adds- "Right now, I just act as an adventurer. A hero, if you might consider me as such. I help people however I can and sacrifice what I have to ensure their safety and happiness. A noble goal, you might say, but it is just my duty."
The girl smiles.
"What a heartwarming story!"- She exclaims- "It's a shame that you turned out to be like this, but that's alright. Everyone has their own demosns and they have to conquer them as time passes. But those demons, they never determine who you are. They can never defeat you, no matter how much they try. It's all just a state of mind that you have to comprehend."
Geralt raises his eyebrow.
"Well?"- He asks- "Did you?"
The girl chuckles.
"It's hard to explain, really. My soul has always surprised me."- She says- "However, I think that I'm good enough at that. Or so I think."
She looks up and sees some shadowy figures in the distance. She quickly stands up.
"Umm, I've got to go now!"- She says- "Thanks for keeping me company! See you... umm... see you later!"
Then, she turns around and runs, the shadowy figures giving chase soon after.
"What a mysterious maiden she is."- Geralt says to himself- "I have heard stories of young girls becoming heroes, but I never imagined that I would see a real one. What an exciting encounter."
He stares at her for a while.
"But wait. Where is she going? Why is she in such a hurry?"- He asks himself- "And why are those men following her like that?"
Just as he tries to act, the girl and the men disappear from sight. He looks down and sighs.
"Some problems are meant to be fixed by others. Getting myself in trouble will only cause trouble for others."- He says to himself- "I should probably let the station's security do their job instead of me. They are meant to protect us, after all."
He lays on the bench and pulls out a book that he has been keeping in his bag for a while. It is known as "How To Be A True Hero" and is written by his own father.
"Dad. I have always admired your skill and nonchalant attitude. You have always been such a pivotal figure of hope in my life, a pillar of goodness in a sea of evil."- He says to himself- "I truly wish that you were here with us. We still need your wisdom. But the world, it is always changing. People need us more and more. And I must always focus on my duties, even though I still think about you."
He shakes his head.
"Forgive your foolish son for being so desperate in his quest to achieve peace in this world."
As he continues to read the book, he notices one important detail that his father noted. Apparently, some heroes get incredibly angry when their deceased loved ones are mentioned in a less-favorable way, such as trying to achieve some kind of goal or to taunt their relatives for being too weak. Sometimes, this rage may become uncontrollable and lead to violent outbursts, some of them capable of harming certain individuals. If a hero is in such a condition, it is hard for them to keeo their own feelings under control. Only a great exercise of self-control is capable of bringing them back to their senses, and it must be done by the person in question, not their relatives or their allies. Only then can the troubled youth be able to achieve a state of true equilibrium and banish all negative thoughts away from their own mind and soul.
"Does this mean that I am gifted in some sort of a way?"- Geralt wonders- "Am I... a Chosen One?"
Then, he shakes his head.
"No. This is not it."- He adds- "I am not different from everyone else. My heroic status is nothing more than a worthless title. I help people out and I am sure that others do the same thing. There is nothing special about me. Nothing."
As Geralt continues to read, Aurelia approaches him, holding two drinks in her hands.
"Hey, dearest. How are you doing?"- She says and smiles sadly- "I just came by to give you a little something. Maybe a little bit of cola will refresh your mind."
Geralt looks up and hugs her.
"I am sorry, Aurelia."- He says- "I was a bad person. I wronged you. I will never let you down again."
Aurelia looks surprised, but soon regains her cheerful expression and hugs him back.
"I don't know how you came to be this way, but I forgive you."- She says- "As long as you're with m-- I mean us, I'm happy to be here."
Geralt smiles.
"And your happiness is my greatest reward."
As they continue to talk, they suddenly hear distant scream. It is as if someone is being attacked, but Geralt knows better.
"Okay, fine! You got me!"- He hears the voice of the girl that he met earlier- "Just let me go! I'm coming with you!"
Then, he hears the gruff chuckle of a ruffian.
"Your promise ain't enough for me, princess."- He says- "I don't want yer daddy to chase me for all my life. I've gotta get his consent first."
Geralt and Aurelia stare at something in the distance. They see the figures surrounding the lone girl and realize that something horrible must be happening to her.
"Is this some kind of a crime?"- Aurelia asks- "Murder? Ransom? Slavery?!"
Geralt's hand slips close to his weapon.
"I am not sure. Yet."- He says- "But I am eager to find out."
As the two of them sneak closer to the crash site, Kaiden and Dante join them.
"We heard the screams coming from the center."- Kaiden says- "Are going to get in another fight?"
Geralt sighs.
"I hope not!"
Dante stares at the men ahead of them and shakes his head.
"I'm afraid that it won't be possible."- He notes- "Those people are pure-blooded outlaws. Barbarians with no sense of honor. I've seen their kind before and I fought them. They have no qualms about hurting others and will not take peace for an answer."
Kaiden sighs.
"Way to go, champ."- He says- "You blew it again."
Dante rolls his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Kaiden."
Kaiden nods.
"Either way, it seems like we've got another pack of wild animals on the loose."- He says- "Are they lions or rabbits? We have yet to find that out."
Geralt nods.
"Let us get closer."
As the four of them approach the area, one of the outlaws turns around. He aims his weapon in their direction, but they hide just in time, confusing the man. He tries to investigate the area behind the wall where our heroes hid, but Kaiden surprises him and murders him with a precise strike in the head.
"One, two and three."- He says and smiles- "It seems like this one's been knocked out for good."
Geralt nods.
"You are getting very good at this."
Kaiden smiles.
"And so are you."
He glares at the pack of outlaws ahead.
"We shouldn't let our guard down, though."- He says-"Every second that we waste is a chance to save that girl from the pawns of evil. So come on. Let's get moving."
Aurelia raises her eyebrow.
"Wow. Your brother's surely eager to inspire everyone."- She says- "Are you sure that you want this, Geralt?"
Geralt smiles.
"Kai has always had a keen eye for adventuring and heroism. The blood of our heroic father has always flown in his blood, even at times when he must act calm and composed."- He says- "Right now, the two of us are sharing leadership of our little group. And I am happy to share this honor with my wonderful brother."
Aurelia chuckles.
"Well, now I see why you two are so... similar!"
Geralt nods.
"Indeed."
The three of them join Kaiden as he approaches the group of outlaws surrounding the young girl. Geralt stands next to his brother and readies his weapon as they get closer.
And then, they stop in their tracks. They see two familiar faces, also surrounded by the bloodthirsty gang. And they seem to be terrified. Very terrified.
"What do you wish of us, umm... kind sir?"- The man says- "We have nothing to give you. Our treasure lies inside of our hearts."
The bandit leader shakes his head.
'My desires are far more simple. I just want your daughter's hand and your blessing."- He says- "Give it to me and you can keep your heads."
The woman shakes her head.
"Give my daughter's hand to a disrespectful outlaw like you?"- She says- "I'd rather get strangled by vines than accept your petty offer!"
The bandit leader smiles.
"Oh, I'm sure that we could arrange that."- He says- "If ya don't give me what I want, that is."
Geralt gasps.
"Are those... Uncle Jon and Aunt Gloria?"- He says- "What are they doing here?"
Kaiden looks at the girl, then at the Braveheart family.
"It seems like the girl is quite similar to Mr. Braveheart."- He says- "Coincidence? Or maybe something deeper than what we think?"
Geralt shakes his head.
"Either way, we must help them out."- He says and draws his weapon- "Come on, everyone. It is time to let some more heads roll."
As the four of them approach the gang, everyone else fails to notice them. They pass through many dead security members, recently killed by the troublemakers, and deduce that they are quite wild and dangerous. The people around watch them with terror in their eyes, but are unable to do anything to save the girl and the Braveheart family.
"I already told you! You can have me!"- The girl exclaims- "Leave my parents out of this predicament! They've got nothing to do with my misfortune!"
The bandit leader shakes his head.
"I'm not goin' anywhere without my blessing."- He says- "Period."
Geralt gasps again.
"This is... cousin Cindy?!"- He says- "I thought that something reminded be of her, but... dear God."
As the bandit leader continues to persuade Cynthia's parents, Kaiden gets close to him and taps him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, but who do you think you are?"- He asks him- "Forcing a girl to marry you is just as bad as robbing her blind!"
The man smiles.
"Oh. It looks like we've got a hero on the loose."- He says- "How predictab-- "
Just as the bandit leader turns around, Kaiden lunges forward and delives a sharp and accurate punch in his jaw.
"Argh!"- The man exclaims- "What was that for?!"
Kaiden glares at him.
"This one is for preying on innocent young ladies!"- He yells- "And this one... is for killing so many innocent people!"
He tries to deliver another punch, but the bandit grabs his arm and pushes him back.
"Not so fast, blind guy."- The villain says and smiles- "I'm sure that you've got more to say before we fight."
Kaiden looks at him. Or, at least, turns his face in the bandit's direction.
"Why are you humiliating yourself like this?"- He asks him- "Why would you fall for such a gorgeous girl? It's clear that the reason is not true love, but is it a lust for greed? A desire to make people suffer? Answer me!"
The man smiles.
"Well, I'm something that many ladies find pretty appealing. A seducer, some might say."- He says- "The folks around here have grown to fear me because of my attitude. They know what I am and they avoid me, 'cause they know what'll happen next. And they know that I have a... special connection with many ladies. How I come to seduce them and take them with me."
Cynthia shakes her head.
"Well, you don't have a special connection with me!"
Jonathan sighs.
"Keep calm, Cindy."- He says to her- "There's no need to anger him further."
Kaiden continues to stare at the bandit leader. Something about him seems to intrigue the young hero. It is almost as if he has known him for a long time, yet was unable to bring him to justice.
A few seconds later, he finally realizes what is going on.
"Hold on! I know you!"- He exclaims- "You're Duncan Doyle, right? The one who steals hearts and breaks them?"
Duncan grins.
"In flesh and blood."- He says- "Took you a little longer to guess, but that's fair enough. You've gotten pretty rusty, Kaiden Kaos."
Kaiden shakes his head.
"My sword may have become rusty, but my mind is still sharp."- He says- "If you think that you'll escape the hands of justice for longer than you already have, think again."
Duncan laughs.
"Oh, your justice is nothing to me! I ain't scared of you!"- He exclaims- "Maybe you should retire again. Nobody needs an old man in lands where there need to be true hero-- "
Suddenly, Geralt lunges forward and points his sword at Duncan's neck.
"Do you really want a true hero?!"- He yells- "Be careful what you wish for, because this spoon may be too big for your mouth!"
Duncan takes a step back.
"Woah! Slow down, kiddo!"- He exclaims- "I'm just saying that the man's a little rusty! That's all!"
Geralt glares at him.
"My brother is a competent warrior and a much better human being than you will ever be. A true hero, standing face to face with true evil and staring into its eyes as if he has nothing to lose and nothing to gain."- He says- "So, save your insults before you earn yourself more than just a beating."
Duncan laughs. His bandits join in.
"Hah! Really?!"- Duncan exclaims- "And how do you think you can stop me from takin' this girl? You haven't got a whole army behind you, as far as I can see!"
Geralt takes a step forward and snaps his fingers. Huge sparks of light dance around in the palms of his hands as his eyes turn pure white, surprising both the outlaws and their leader.
"I really, really do not like outlaws such as yourself. You cause trouble around the world and my duty is to fix it."- He says- "However, your actions are where I draw the line. Such an insult will not be taken lightly, no matter how much you pretend that it is just simple blackmail."
Seeing that Geralt has unleashed his true power, the bandits wisely decide that their own lives are more important than that of their leader. They scream in terror and scamper away, running for their lives as fast as they can.
Duncan stares, shocked, as his loyal companions are scared off by single hero.
"Come back, you freaks!"- He yells- "He's nothing more than a show-off! Stop running!"
Then, he signs and looks at Geralt.
"Are you happy, runt?"- He says to him- "You scared off my pals. And now, you're going to pay."
Geralt nods.
"I would say the same thing about you, filthy miscreant. Your kind is quick to get scared."- He retorts- "How about you show me just how good you are?"
Duncan smiles.
"With pleasure!"
Geralt readies himself and parries Duncan's attack as he tries to stab him with his rapier. The man swiftly stands back and swings it back and forth, creating a series of motions that knock Geralt's blade out of his hands.
But the hero refuses to give up. Even without his weapon, he continues to fight against this crafty villain with nothing more than his bare hands. He wrestles the bandit's rapier out of his hands, then continues to strike him as he tries to get it back. Then, as he finally gets it back, he uses this opportunity to push him back and cast a barrage of fireballs that singes the already painful scar on his nose, causing him severe pain as he continues to defend himself.
Just as Geralt prepares to cast another spell, the bandit surprises him by raising his hands in the air and conjuring a small thunderstorm to destroy him once and for all.
"Haha! That's right!"- Duncan exclaims- "Dance for me, little puppet!"
As Geralt continues to avoid the thunderbolts, he looks back at his discarded weapon and thinks of a smart idea that could turn the tides of this battle. He jumps to his feets, leaps out of the way and grabs his sword. Then, as the bandit conjures another thunderstorm, he leaps forward and blocks it with his weapon.
At first, everyone thinks that nothing will happen and that Geralt will get hurt. But, in the last moment, Geralt's eyes start to glow white again. The energy of the thunder is absorbed by his mighty weapon and soon, it becomes overloaded with magical power.
"Feel the wrath... "- He says as he jumps in the air- "... of the true thunder!"
Geralt's attack causes a massive wave of thunder, sending Duncan back and severely paralyzing him via the weapon's magic. Twitching angrily, the man stands up and cracks his neck.
"If I can't take the chick by swaying her, then I'll take her by force!"
Then, he rushes forward and grabs Cynthia's hand as she tries to run away.
"No! Stop it!"- She yells and tries to rip herself out of the man's grasp- "You can't just do this to me! Let me go!"
Duncan laughs.
"Oh, really?"- He says- "Watch me!"
Then, he drags Cynthia with himself as he nimbly runs away from the scene.
"The fiend's taking our cousin away!"- Kaiden exclaims- "Do you think that we should give chase?"
Geralt kneels and draws his bow. He calmly aims it at the fleeing bandit leader and nods.
"Just stay where you are."- He says- "Things like these must be done without getting distracted. Nice and steady. With the burning spirit of a hunter."
He glares at the man as he tries to get a clear shot.
"Easy, now."- He says- "Stay calm. Do not mess this up... "
Then, he launches an arrow in the man's direction, striking him square in the achilles tendon and causing a swift rupture in his entire leg, sending both him and Cynthia to the ground as he starts to scream.
"Bingo!"
Aurelia nods.
"Ouch!"- She exclaims- "That's got to hurt!"
As Cynthia gets up, Geralt runs forward, makes sure that she is alright and grabs Duncan by the neck.
"You refused to back down when you had the chance!"- He yells at him- "And now, you shall pay the price! Ten-fold!"
As Duncan continues to scream, Geralt pushes him toward Cynthia and stares at her.
"Come on. Cindy! Now is your chance!"- He exclaims- "Show that freak that you are nobody's girl! Make him pay!"
Cynthia looks around for a weapon she could use, but finds nothing more than the shoe that she dropped after tripping and falling down. And yet, she is satisfied with the result. She is not a picky one and, truth be told, the shoe looks very sharp.
Without wasting any time, Cynthia glares at Duncan and throws her shoe at him. The sharp end of it easily pierces the covetous, power-hungry villain's skull, ending his life in front of all of the surprised people around them.
And then, the crowd starts to cheer for the two heroes. They applaud them for taking down the bandit leader as security guards take his terrified team away from the scene.
Surprised that she's actually free, Cynthia smiles and runs toward her savior, hugging him.
"Oh, thank you so much, cousin Geralt!"- She exclaims- "Had you not arrived in time, I was surely going to be a goner or... or worse!"
Geralt smiles back.
"You are welcome, Cindy."- He responds- "But tell me something. When we met for the first time, why did you try to hide from me? Was it because of this?"
Cynthia nods.
"Very perceptive, as always."- She says- "Yes. I was being chased by those freaks and their leader who was, for a reason I cannot explain, attracted to me. I tried to speak to you in a way that makes you think I'm a stranger, but I was too busy worrying about the bandits. And then, they... they gave chase and I didn't know what to do. I was too afraid, so I had to run early."
Geralt nods.
"That is absolutely understandable."- He says- "After all, girls are not that capable of fighting back against their enemies. You needed a little bit of motivation. And I am glad that I was the one who gave it to you."
Cynthia looks at him.
"I'm glad that we're finally getting along again."- She says- "By the way, have you seen my brother? He was supposed to meet me somewhere around here, but he's nowhere in sight."
Geralt raises his eyebrow.
"You mean Cyrus? The mighty Shaman of Canonia?"- He asks- "Oh, I'm sure that he has more than enough work on his mind. He will come by. Eventual-- "
Suddenly, a magical portal appears behind the two of them. Cynthia jumps away as another person joins them in the station.
"Big bro!"- Cynthia exclaims and runs forward to hug him.
As Cynthia lays in his arms, Cyrus exchanges a glance with Geralt and smiles.
"Good to see you, cousin Geralt."- He says- "I see that you managed to keep my... wild sister under control."
Geralt raises his eyebrow.
"Wild sister?"- He asks- "But she was completely fine back then!"
Cyrus sighs.
"My sister has always been a leaf in the wild. She's always been seeking the endless thrill the world could give her. And yet, she never realized that adventuring comes with a cost. A sense of duty that a hero must fulfill, something she was unable to do herself."- He says- "So, I had to monitor her as best as I could. When you saw me back in Canonia, I was trying to communicate with her. However, it seems like the fiend who take her hand earlier was on the move again and I had to make sure that he wouldn't harm her."
Geralt raises his eyebrow.
"Is this the reason why you ran away so early?"
Cyrus nods.
"You know me. I'm the type of person who is always concerned about the well-being of the people around me. Friends. Family. Even those strangers that we see every day."- He says- "However, my sister's safety was something that I had to ensure. I did not tell you because I wanted to protect her identity. If I did, I was going to endanger both you and her. Bandits were going to get you killed and, if they didn't, their leader would know who you are and hunt you down himself. So, I had to act on my own, as the vile beast knew few more people of our family than me and our parents."
Geralt nods.
"I suppose that I am grateful. Such missions are best executed with caution. I respect your decisions."- He says- "However, you should have given me a hint, at the very least. I am good at guessing the true meaning behind hints, so I would have found a way to prevent the disaster before it happened."
Cyrus sighs.
"What's done is already done. We should be grateful that Cynthia is safe and sound, not reminisce the past in a bad light."- He says- "That's not what your father wants, right?"
Then, he looks at Cynthia and smiles.
"Are you doing okay, Tori?"- He asks her- "DId that no-good fool tease you? Scratch you? Try to please you?"
Cynthia nods.
"A little bit of everything, I guess. But I'm fine. Thank you."- She responds- "I just wish you came here sooner."
Cyrus sighs.
"Me too, dear sis."- He says- "Me, too."
He turns to Geralt.
"Anyway, we should be going now."- He says- "It was a pleasure to see you again, Geralt. But duties are duties and we have a lot of them. So, farewell and safe journey, wherever you are going."
Geralt watches as the entire Braveheart family enters the portal. He waves at them and they wave back. Then, they disappear, leaving our heroes alone in the station.
"Well, this was a nice respite from our adventures. However, we have to get moving."- Geralt says- "So. Are you ready?"
His allies nod,
"Then let us go, at long last."- He says- "To Avernum!"
