The wolf and The fox
Part 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSharping his blade, the wolf held the sharpened piece of steel in his hands as sparks flew from the sharing stone to the metal as the witcher and the duchess checked their gear. Running a cloth over his blade as there was a knock on the door as Wolf walked over to it and opened it to see a guard of friendship at their door.
"Are you with Wolf?" The guard asked to which the witcher looked at him.
"Yeah?"
"You and your friend are to come with us," The guard said.
"Why?"
"Just come with us,"
Ren narrowed her eyes as she gripped her greatsword but Wolf held out his hand signaling to her it wasn't worth it as she loosen her grip on the blade. The two then got their gear and followed the guards that escorted them to where else... the castle of friendship.
"God damn it... I wonder who has it out for us," Ren whispered low enough that the guards couldn't hear but he could.
"Shhhhhhhh everything will be alright," He reached out and grabbed her hand as she blushed slightly as she held back.
"I thought witchers were stripped of emotions," She said as Wolf smiled.
"We are,"
"Quiet you two we are here," The guard said as the two guards pushed open the large purple crystal doors into the table room was as twilight, and the rest of the elements including spike the dragon and starlight.
The guards bowed as Ren and Wolf remain standing up.
"Bow," A guard hissed as Twilight held out her hand.
"It's alright sentry the two are here by my order... you two were probably busy I am sorry to take you from any task that you were doing but I was told here by Fluttershy that you have been killing off innocent harmless creatures," Twilight said.
"Were monster hunters we don't kill 'innocent harmless creatures' Twilight you know this," Wolf said as he let go off Ren who wanted to hold on some more but let him walk forward.
"I know this but Fluttershy here has reported more than once that you-"
"Killed some monster that was threatening the citizens of your home... your welcome by the way," Wolf said as Twilight sighed.
"Look wolf I know you have been made this way by Faust knows who for hunting and killing monsters but could you at least try to reason with some of these monsters?" Twilight said as Wolf sighed.
"I'll like to see you try to reason with a pack of drowners," Wolf stated as Twilight spoke.
"Though I don't know what a drowner is I get your point still not all monsters need to be put down by a steel blade you could always subdue the creature and have it released it somewhere elsewhere-"
"Where it can be someone else's problem?"
"That's not what I meant Wolf please," Twilight said.
"Twilight Your a good to your friends that is a respectable trait but sometimes you need to learn when your friends are letting their personal feelings get in the way," Wolf stated as Twilight spoke.
"I just want you to please stop killing every monster that you are hired to do... I mean you didn't even show a single bandit mercy as some of them even tried surrendered to you," Twilight said.
"They didn't deserve mercy after all they won't have shown you any your highness after all you were watching us weren't you? So you must have known they were planning on killing your men and raping the women?" The witcher spoke as the elements blinked in surprise.
"Oh god, they didn't think they knew we were watching?" Ren asked as laughed slightly as her blue iris in the black void of her eyes stared at Twilight.
"But we were-"
"Using an obversion spell, yeah we know... my mentor's wife Yen taught me and my sister about spells like those. So I knew right away when I felt like I was being watched and the hue of the spell in the sky... best use it at day rather than night harder for you to tell without the stars being blurry,"
Wolf said as the elements.
"As for Ren. She's a fucking vampire magic is basically flowing through her veins she could basically feel the magic of the spell through her bones... Hell, she could smell a drop of blood a mile away and behead a demonic flesh with one blow so please feel free to insult me for I'm just a heavy mutated witcher but Ren here? My godfather is a greater vampire and he doesn't even compare to Ren,"
Ren blushed slightly at how highly Wolf talked about her.
The elements were speechless.
"So then... You knew that they were going to show not a thread of mercy yet you still expected me to show some?" Wolf spoke. "God if I didn't know better he was right,"
This got the attention of the group.
"Who was right witcher?"
"A simple merchant Ren and I ran into awhile back... still can't believe we ran into him of all people here," The witcher said.
"Great now we have another one of you running around here... Good Celestia and two weren't enough as is," Twilight spoke.
Ren laughed.
"I wouldn't think much about it child. He isn't with us just an old friend of Wolf's father who stopped by to say hi before coming in to cash in on some 'god of chaos' for a debt," This got Fluttershy's attention.
"IT WAS YOU THEN! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS YOU FOR DISCORD'S SUFFERING!"
Wolf raised his hands.
"Nothing. We did nothing. What has happened to discord?" Wolf asked.
Fluttershy began to break down into tears.
"DON'T PLAY WITH ME! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!" As she got from her seat.
"We haven't done anything to Discord but if he made a deal with the merchant well... you can't blame us for what he is going through right now," The claim emotion stolen witcher said.
"YOUR LYING!"
Applejack then placed her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder.
"Sugercube he's telling the truth claim down,"
"NO! DISCORD IS DEAD BECAUSE OF THESE TWO AND THEIR FRIEND!" Fluttershy shouted.
This surprised the two before the elements.
"Discord is... dead?" Wolf said slightly affected by the news.
"Must have not read the fine print in the deal he made," Ren said coldly knowing all too well of her own price to pay.
"Fluttershy we don't have any proof of the two connecting to discord's death and with applejack saying they aren't lying then they can't be charged," Twilight said.
"DISCORD IS DEAD TWILIGHT! OUR FRIEND IS DEAD! DOESN'T THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU!?!" Twilight flinched at that but shook her head.
"Fluttershy we can't do anything there isn't any proof we only brought these two to confront them about the monster killings but not to arrest them," Twilight said. "But we can ask them about the friend-"
"Not our friend," Ren threw out.
"Sorry merchant they know about," Twilight then turned to them. "So please tell us who this merchant,"
"Honestly? I don't even know what he is. Even my father Geralt didn't know. Is he a god? A demon? The devil? A powerful mage? I don't know but what I do know is he is an Immortal who always changes his face and name but he's always a merchant and is know as 'the merchant of mirrors' and before you go to every mirror merchant in town know he never carries anything on him,"
"Than how does he trade then darling?" Rarity asked.
"Sometimes though a bag he carries around his neck or the next day you'll have it but always and I mean ALWAYS comes with a price. May it be a simple trade like maybe a few bits for a month's worth of rent and in turn, you'll have to carry a message to the town over or something being unkillable but in return your lover's soul," Wolf told them as they look on in horror.
"Than what kind of deal did Discord make with this merchant guy that killed him?" Rainbow dash asked.
"How should we know all he said was that he was meeting with a 'client' and that is it," Ren said as the elements just looked at them.
"So what do we do then?" Twilight asked. "How do we bring this Merchant to justice?"
"Go to a crossroad at midnight and wait," The witcher said as applejack blinked slightly.
"Very well you may leave... this was not what we had in-"
"YOU'RE GOING TO LET THEM LEAVE!"
"Guards please escort them out," Twilight said as the two were brought through the castle into the outside as the two could hear Fluttershy screaming from outside.
"Damn the voice on that one," Ren said.
"And the colorful words as well," Wolf added.
"It's always the quiet ones," This caused Wolf to stare at her as she gave a fanged smile. "Come on just joking there,"
Wolf shook his head.
"Let's go home,"
"Yeah back to the inn with the cheap ale and paper-filled mattress... joy," Ren sighed as the two walked. "Hey! I know what can make it better,"
"No..."
"Come on please,"
"It was one time Ren," Wolf said.
"But I know you like it," Ren countered.
"I did but-"
"But what? Come on we do everything together sharing a bed is no different and besides I know you like it when I nibble on her neck~," Wolf stopped in his tracks when his helmet hid him blushing but Ren being a vampire could sense the blush rush before he went on.
"Let just keep going," The witcher stated.
"By the crimson court! Damn it Wolf how hard is it to ask if I could hold you so I can sleep,"
"I'm a witcher. I may wear ursine armor but I'm not a teddy bear,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Come on! I know you want to be held too," Ren said. "You told me before you and Ciri would-"
"She's my sister damn it! That is different! Sure we're not of the same blood but still! Plus... Ciri had nightmares," Wolf said as this gave Ren a thought.
"I have nightmares too you know," Ren whispered knowing that the wolfish witcher could hear her, though ren was actually being honest here she did have nightmares every night.
The things the court did to her were not going to be easily forgotten and Wolf did hear her cry in her sleep.
'Walk right on into that one,'
Wolf sighed.
"I'll think about it," Causing her ears to pop up.
"Good enough for me!" Ren said hugging her sword as she hummed.
The two then stopped in their tracks as did Ren's humming.
"You know you could have spoken to us back in the castle," Ren spoke as the two turned to Applejack who leaning against the inn's front.
"Well, this is a different manner besides that a more... personal matter than I need help with," AJ told them.
"Help with?" Ren asked.
"We the family and I are in some monster trouble," Applejack said. "And I kinda want to ask for your help out of Fluttershy's range,"
"Knowing that we most likely kill the monsters,"
The apple farmer nodded.
"Alright, details,"
"Well, you see-"
(Later)
"Ghouls... I was thinking harpies at first then Wyvern but ghouls? The last monster to come to mind when nesting at an apple farm," Wolf told Ren while rubbing superior nerco-oil on the master-crafted meteorite silver blade. "At least it's not some oversized bugs,"
Ren smiled as took off her helmet.
"You're a boy though," She said as Wolf looked up.
"Yes I'm a male but that doesn't mean I like bugs even now they still give me the creeps," The witcher said. "And you don't see me saying 'why aren't you buying shoes even though your a female?' get my drift,"
"Fair enough," Ren said as she took off her boots and got onto the bed her hands on her chest and looking up at the ceiling.
Wolf looked at her seeing her stare blankly at the ceiling before finishing his blade and then putting it away next to take off his own boots. Walking to the bed he got in as he laid next to Ren who without saying a word or anything else held onto Wolf burying her face into his chest fur.
"Sleep well Ren," Wolf said as the lamp went out.
"I'll try,"
Author's Note
Well after about a mouth its back! Yeah another chapter down to go! OH boy oh boy this is getting good!
And one of the elements hiring the two!
Man if fluttershy chances wide of that its a whole shit storm waiting to happen.
Now then dropped some thing in this story about the two's past but mostly wolf's past been doing a lot of backstory chapters lately.
Besides that...
I FINALLY BEAT WITCHER THE WILD HUNT AND ALL ITS DLCS! WHOA!
Good I miss Ciri though...
But yennifiers is here at the house, and Triss is far FAR away from Geralt.
Yes I don't like Triss because of what she did and playing 'little sis' card with Ciri...
What the fuck Triss?! You may look hot as fire but inside your uglier than the three witch sisters.
(I have nothing against those who romanced Triss btw I just don't like her after what she did)
