Ren... the name that Wolf gave her, as for her real name it was taken from her that night when she was still human before becoming this fox demon vampire creature. Her memory was shattered as her very parents would be strangers to her if she saw them again for their faces and names were lost as if waking from a dream.

But that night?

That was something she could never forget.

Being sent by the emperor himself to make sure that she could personally deliver a gift to the one known as the lady a sigh of thanks for something that the lady gave to him. Coming from her home miles upon miles through sea, land, and sand she finally came upon the night that her entire fate would be altered forever. The country was alien to her but still, she respected the allies of the Emperor of her home as she was escorted her was a small army so this gift can be given to the lady.

The lady thanked 'Ren' for the gift before setting it aside to dance with the person that would become another threat to humanity. She should have left right then and there but her guards were tired from the long journey and need to rest so she let them as she drank with those in the party. Then it happened...

The lady showed her true colors and attacked the ancestor when she did the rest of her unholy court took off their 'masks' and attack the guests at the party. She watched in horror as her own people were bitten by these vampiric bug-like monsters that attack them all! Not a single drop of blood was wasted as they were turned into a dried husk, when the captain of her guard told her to flee she was captured by the one known as the lord. He thanked her for delivering the gift from the Emperor and that she should be given something for her troubles and he gave her his sick twisted gift.

The red thirst...

She was thrown into the darkness as her body twisted itself with the red plague that was flowing through her veins, the amulet she wore to fend off evil burned her skin as the nine-tailed symbol only caused the curse to mold her into an entirely different creature, unlike the crimson court. When the transformation was complete she was now a slave to the crimson court for thirst is what they used to control her by.

The torture she went through was all but the most horrid from her mind, her soul, and even her body.

She was used whenever someone was in the mood which was almost every day, she was their personal exotic harlot with every day being hell. Forced to do everything even being used as another form of entertainment when she was deprived of the life-given red liquid for 30 days then being unleashed in a blind-blood rage at the surviving guards that went to save her.

Her hate grew day by day before finally this lesser vampire snapped and drank the forbidden blood of a vampire while he was in weaken state after he had her way with her. Upon drinking his blood she began strong enough to break free as she began to slaughter her wardens and drinking the blood of 99 vampires that night in the whole where she then set out to hunt the crimson court with the stolen ancient vampiric blade she took.

For years she hunted those of court which gave the name of the 'duchess'.

Soon she came to find others like her who sought to end the court at the hamlet where she learned to trust once again after nearly 50 whole years of suffering. After fighting those of the dungeon from the pigs from hell to the cursed farm she had grown strong enough to finally get her revenge on the Lady and Lord who caused her so much suffering. Upon their deaths, she became what she is today one of the few to become a greater vampire this makes her a key ally to finally stopping the darkness from the dungeon but when she fought alongside the knight, the highwayman, and the priestess she was thrown into the living darkness.

When she awoke there she was before the cursed witcher, son of the white wolf and the raven, the one who would give her a name after so long of living under a title. One who held a blood bond with her, the one who didn't scoff at her appearance, or hate her for her thirst. Both of them were monsters to humanity but they fought for it even if they dubbed them freaks of nature for no matter how much humanity hated them the human race needed monsters to fight monsters.

Monsters had to stick together after all, for united can stand against anything the world would throw at them.


Ren held Wolf close as she sank her fangs into his neck as he didn't even grunt or flinch as she drew his ever-sweet blood into her mouth as he let her sate her thirst every day so she could control her unbreakable curse. Having her fill she removed her fangs from the spot she would drink from as his greatly mutated body healed itself faster than any normal witcher would be.

Geralt and Wolf received a letter from Yennefer where they would find a machine that was supposed to remove witcher's mutations but instead greatly improved on them. It was what they need to get an edge over the greater vampire who was sick and tired of being played like a fool by the black sheep of the royal family.

Ren kept her head on Wolf's shoulder as she hugged him with her eyes closed afraid to let go of her 'friend' as she opened her eyes as Wolf grabbed her hand and rubbed his thumb over her white-furred hand. After a few minutes like this, she let go as Wolf threw back on his witcher armor as he placed his school of the wolf amulet over it. He still remembers when he got it when Geralt and Yennefer 'died' along with Ciri vanishing leaving the cursed child alone to walk from Rivia to Kaer Morhen where a surprised Vesemir found him past out from hunger, thirst, lack of sleep, and wounds that covered his body.

Thinking his parents and sister were dead, Wolf set out to complete his training the trials went by easily but the one trial that caused him the greatest of pain was the Trial Grasses. Pain roared throughout his already mutated body but Wolf fought not to let the memory of his family die as the mutations after much pain settled into his cursed body. Here he was now after the death of the wild hunt and him being thrown into a trap by that damn elf that 'only wanted to help Ciri', what a joke.

Ren watched from the bed as Wolf placed his gauntlets on as she tapped her fingers together.

'Come on tell him already. But what if he says no? Come on Ren that pony offered you a table to take him to that non-pony-friendly restaurant the pony owned,' She watched as Wolf put on his left one next. 'It would be a nice evening and we can eat something else than dried fish jerky and drink some real ale than that piss water,'

"Um... Wolf?" Ren asked as he adjusted the strap on his armored glove.

"Hm?" He didn't turn.

"Well, you remember a while back that pony we helped with those trolls that broke into his restaurant's wine cellar?" Ren asked.

"I do. Those trolls were drunk off all the wine that was down there," Wolf said as Ren moved her legs to the edge of the bed.

"Well I was offered a table at the restaurant and I was hoping you could come with me?" Wolf stopped and turned to Ren.

"You want me to come with you?" Wolf asked as she nodded.

"Of course I mean... yes!" Ren's face was slightly blushing from being so nervous.

"Like a date?" This caused her face to redden even more. "Ren are you alright your face is-"

"YES! Will you go with me?" Ren asked to which Wolf blinked before speaking.

"I will," Wolf said as she smiled looking up at his slightly smiling face. "When do we leave?"

"Well... can we go right now?" Ren asked to which the wolf witcher nodded she then smiled before the door to the room was pounded on by someone's fist.

"SIR WOLF AND LADY REN THERE IS SOMETHING COMING INTO TOWN!" The familiar sound of the inn keeper's voice shouted through the door.

The two looked at one another before Ren sighed.

"Guess we'll go later," She then got up and Wolf went to the door and opened it to the Innkeeper.

"Where is it?"


(Outside)

As the two made it outside the lively town of ponyville was now like a ghost town as the Innkeeper pointed down the main road as the light fog came in from an accident by the weather team.

"It was said coming from the east main rode right from the everfree forest," The pony said.

"What does it look like?" Ren asked.

"I don't know all I know it is nothing anypony has ever seen before and it is armed," This caused Wolf to turn to the keeper.

"Armed?" The innkeeper nodded.

"It has two swords on its back," This caused Wolf to go wide-eyed behind his metal helm before turning down the path before walking down it.

Ren followed suit with her sword on her back as the two walked in silence.

"You don't think it's another witcher?" Ren asked.

"I don't know," Wolf answered as the two made it to the end of town.

The two stood there silently, the only sound was the light wind breeze going through town.

A few moments passed as the sound of wet gravel being stepped on as Wolf reached to his steel sword but stopped upon seeing a shape in the fog. His sense of smell was being messed with due to the fog but a familiar scent entered his nose as he blinked before pulling off the helmet.

"Wolf?" Ren whispered.

As the being then stopped upon seeing them in the fog as well before slowly walking forward, the figure was slightly more clear as Wolf walked forward as well. The fog began to thin out as the two got closer to each other as the figure came to the sight of Wolf who stopped upon seeing a pair of golden cat-like eyes in the fog staring at him. Dropping his helmet onto the road the familiar scared face of the lady of worlds looked at him before a smile came to her face and ran to Wolf giving him a hug. Wolf blinked in surprise before looking down to see Ciri hugging him as he then wrapped his own arms around her in a brotherly hug as Ciri began to cry.

"Your such a jerk you know that Wolf?" Ciri said with a smile on her face. "I already lost Vesemir I didn't need to lose you too,"

Wolf didn't say anything as he held his adopted sister in his arms.

"But... something told me I would find you sooner or later," Ciri broke the hug as she looked at the cursed witcher. "Go on say something,"

"Your alive," Wolf said the last time he saw her was going through the portal to save the world.

"And we all thought you who were the one who died," Ciri told him. "Just... don't do that again little brother,"

Wolf huffed with a smile.

"I'm the older sibling,"

Ciri laughed.

"In your dreams," Ciri then blinked up hearing Ren walk up. "Who's this?"

Wolf smiled.

"I think we both need to catch each other up," Wolf said smiling.
