The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 - Meeting of All Northern Kingdoms 01.



[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

As Madara and Ciri advanced north, they quickly entered the region of Rivia, located below Lyria, near the mountains.

"I've always found this name funny, Rivia, this small area..." Ciri commented from behind him, her knowledge of the geography of the region stemming from her time at the court of Cintra.

Madara did not reply but thought about it as they moved forward. This was the place where Geralt would one day be knighted by the Queen of Lyria, earning the title "Geralt of Rivia" after facing Nilfgaardian forces and securing victory for the northern kingdom.

However, with Nilfgaard failing to advance north, there was uncertainty about Geralt's fate in this unfolding story. Perhaps he would remain just Geralt without Sodden being invaded by southern forces.

Meanwhile, they continued unaware that, further north in Kaedwen, the most important post-war meeting between northern kings and mages was about to take place. Madara and Ciri were heading toward Kaer Morhen, a journey that would take them through Kaedwen. However, the city where this pivotal meeting would occur was Loc Muinne, an ancient elven city. It was to be the site of a critical decision about the North's future.

On the other side of the continent, along its coast, Yennefer had returned to Temeria and then to Aretuza. As she stepped out of a portal, she barely had time to take her first step before someone called out to her. It was a familiar sorceress, Vissena (OC).

"Yennefer! You're back!" the young sorceress exclaimed.

"Hello, Vissena," Yennefer greeted her.

"I'm so glad to see you! Things have been quite hectic in Aretuza. All the younger students' classes have been canceled, and Tissaia has been asking about you. She said that if you were seen, you should go to her office immediately," Vissena informed her.

Yennefer nodded and walked past her, making her way through the halls of Aretuza toward the rector's office on the top floor. Along the way, she passed sorceresses and even a few sorcerers who greeted her in passing, all seeming to be in a hurry. Yennefer decided to ask Tissaia directly about the urgency.

Reaching the door, she was about to knock when Tissaia's voice came from the other side. "Yennefer, come in," Tissaia instructed.

Yennefer entered and found Tissaia tinkering with her magical telescopes, seemingly having just finished communicating with someone. She was writing something down before turning to the newly arrived sorceress.

"You're here, good. Where have you been all these days?" Tissaia asked, though it was clear she wasn't expecting an answer.

Yennefer raised an eyebrow, ignoring the question, instead focusing on the urgency she'd sensed in the academy. "What's going on? Why is everyone in such a rush?" she asked.

"Because our kings are no longer willing to wait. They've demanded the meeting take place immediately, moving it forward," Tissaia replied with a sigh.

"But wasn't it supposed to happen in three days?" Yennefer asked, surprised.

"Not anymore. It will now be held in Loc Muinne, the ancient elven city to the east of Kaedwen, in the mountains. Everyone is already on their way. It's good you've arrived; I'll need you with me," Tissaia explained.

"Now?" Yennefer sighed, already feeling a headache coming on.

"What else would you expect? The kings are eager to question you. They're all concerned about an unknown weapon of destruction out there, and many have mentioned that Madara might be involved. Some of the mages from Sodden Hill have even claimed that you know him, as he mentioned meeting you..." Tissaia added.

Yennefer was silent for a moment before replying, "I see." She then continued with another question, "And Triss? Where is she?" she asked, knowing she didn't have much time but wanting at least to see her old friend.

Yennefer hadn't heard from her in recent days since the war had ended. Triss had been isolated in that hideout with Geralt and Ciri before Madara arrived, to avoid being located.

"Triss has been transferred here. She's being treated by a group of sorcerers in the medical wing on the second floor... You can go see her. We have a few hours; I was just waiting for you so we could leave. I'll need some time to organize my things and talk to a few people. Come back as soon as you're done," Tissaia said.

"Why such urgency... You talk as if I don't already know how to deal with those pompous men with crowns on their heads," Yennefer replied with an ironic tone.

"Those same men are very, very afraid of a giant appearing in their kingdoms and devastating them without them being able to do anything about it. Trust me, these men, when in a state of fear, can be very dangerous at the moment," Tissaia replied seriously.

Yennefer merely nodded before starting to leave the room, heading to the second floor in search of Triss. It didn't take her long to reach the place, walking through a few hallways. Upon entering, she saw several sorceresses casting spells around a bed, with some handling potions.

"Can we reconstruct her skin?" one of them asked while handing over a potion.

Yennefer observed at least four sorceresses, including Keira Metz, who looked worriedly at the bed.

"It's difficult. I don't think we'll be able to do much with her current state..." one of the sorceresses commented, while the others turned around, noticing Yennefer entering.

"Yennefer, you're here," Keira said as Yennefer approached.

"How is she?" Yennefer asked, moving closer to look at Triss in the bed.

Triss lay there, the women cleaning her blood and attempting to heal her. Her skin was badly decayed as they removed parts of it. The burns had left her body completely destroyed, making her unrecognizable. Her hair was gone, leaving her scalp reddish and grotesque even weeks after the events at Sodden Hill.

"Why is she still like this? Why haven't you started the healing process yet?" Yennefer demanded.

"We've done all we could just to keep her alive. We were trying to restore her skin to its original state, but it doesn't seem possible without leaving severe scars..." one of the sorceresses explained.

"Yennefer, isn't there something you can do to help her? Knowing Triss, she'd rather kill herself than live like this," Keira commented, concerned.

Yennefer shook her head. "There isn't much I can do, but this can be adjusted with magic. For now, just save her life. I'll talk to her later," Yennefer requested immediately.

The sorceresses exchanged glances and began applying spells to stabilize Triss. Her skin would regrow, albeit scarred and burned, requiring illusory spells to conceal it.

Yennefer watched her friend with pity, hoping she would recover and not attempt suicide after surviving in such a condition. Before long, Triss was finally out of danger. All the women were exhausted by the end of the process.

"She'll be okay. I just hope she doesn't wake up before the meeting," Yennefer murmured.

"Triss would be upset not to participate in such an important post-war meeting alongside King Foltest. But she couldn't go in her current state," Keira remarked, wiping sweat from her brow.

"Let her rest for now... we'll deal with that later," Yennefer replied, sighing as she looked at Keira.

Keira nodded, then turned to Yennefer with a grateful tone. "Thank you for your help at Sodden Hill. It's thanks to you that we had reinforcements. The situation was dire for us, with Nilfgaard and those strange monsters."

"Thank Geralt for that. He spent weeks trying to reach you," Yennefer said.

"I also thank the boy, Madara. He's the one who showed up to help everyone there," Keira added.

"..." Yennefer didn't respond, noting that more and more people were associating her with the boy, which could be problematic for her.

"And about that boy..." Keira began, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening behind them. She grimaced upon seeing who entered.

"Good thing you brought that up. I was looking for you, Yen. I came as soon as I heard you'd arrived here," Coral said, as Yennefer turned to see her approaching.

"What do you want, Coral?" Yennefer narrowed her eyes. There was palpable tension between the two, stemming from a rivalry and Coral's history of seducing others just to provoke Yennefer, including Geralt.

"You know, since we returned from our mission after casting the spell on the mountain, I was surprised by the news of the North's victory. Yet, there was no joy, only fear of the unknown in everyone we met. The rumors, and even the images I managed to capture by reading the minds of some soldiers, spoke of a giant emerging on the battlefield. It disrupted all the troops as it annihilated thousands in an instant... We thought we'd succeeded in our mission before fleeing, but we didn't expect something like that to happen right afterward," Coral said with a small smile.

"I would've loved to see it in person, but even through memories, it was impressive. The most suspicious thing of all is that boy at Sodden Hill. Many say he was the one who created that giant. There's also talk of an adult man appearing, wearing the same armor as the boy, riding a dragon made of roots in the middle of the forest. It's almost unbelievable to think someone could have such power," she said, her tone filled with interest.

"Coral, what do you want?" Yennefer asked, irritated. "Everyone saw what happened on the battlefield. That's why we're heading to a meeting to discuss it."

"Yes, but I know he has something to do with you, Yen," Coral countered.

"We met only once before that, so I don't think what you're suggesting makes sense. It was just a coincidence," Yennefer replied, shrugging.

"I think it's more than that," Coral insisted. "Tell me where the boy is. I'll do anything you ask, as a favor."

Yennefer shook her head, clearly uncomfortable with the idea of Coral getting close to Madara. Whatever her intentions, Coral would likely seek a chance to gain power. Even Keira and the other sorceresses in the room looked suspiciously at the conversation.

"I don't know where he is," Yennefer lied.

"I just want to talk to him. I don't think I'd harm the boy," Coral pressed.

"As I said, I don't know where he is. So, forget about it. And honestly, I doubt he'd want anything to do with you, Coral," Yennefer scoffed.

"You're a terrible liar, Yennefer," Coral said, clicking her tongue in disdain. Frustrated, she turned and left, realizing she wouldn't get anything from Yennefer.

"You need to be careful with her. She seems to have developed some kind of ambition regarding the boy after Sodden Hill," Keira commented, watching Coral leave.

Yennefer sighed, concerned, but hoped Coral wouldn't do anything reckless in the future.

"Keira, I'm going to meet with Tissaia again before the meeting. I'll see you there," Yennefer said.

Keira nodded, watching Yennefer leave the room as she made her way to the rector's office.
