(Three hours later)

Wolf sat in his cell within the mostly empty dungeon except for his own cell and the sleeping guard down the hall, looking up the cursed witcher was trying to think about what to do.

He had been in a prison before but mostly chained to the ground but that was if the guards that pulled off his helmet wouldn't try to cut him down where he stood upon seeing his ugly mug. Ciri and Ren were in another wing of the dungeon most likely on the female side, he began to wonder if Ciri could use her Elder blood to get herself out and break out Ren and himself.

Yet all has been quiet...

His medallion did vibrate when he was near the bars so it had to be some kind of magical alloy similar to dimeritium or something similar.

Maybe that was why Ciri didn't break out.

Looking to the barred window in his cell he could see Luna's moon high in the star-filled sky.

Wolf began to wonder what kind of bullshit Fluttershy pulled to get him, Ren, and his own fucking sister who hasn't been here a day and she was out for her.

Not even met her.

Shaking his head, he stood up looking at the moon... it was almost hypnotic.

Years his father and mother taught him to hold back the beast within but he might need to let it loose.

If he reached Ciri and Ren while holding some of his sanity in the possess his sister could take them back home.

It was risky... he's been keeping the beast chained for many years there was the risk of him not being strong enough to hold it back once it was out of its cage.

But if it slipped it's leash when Ciri and Ren are nearby...

He had to do it if Fluttershy was going to find some way to bring them to her twisted 'justice' either killing them or turning them into stone.

Closing his eyes he began to imagine it...

A door made of every metal imagined strong enough to hold any monster within, wrapped in countless chains and covered in magical seals he felt his mind reach out about to open the door.

"Oh my... I guess the saying is true," Opening his eyes Wolf turned his head hearing footsteps coming from the darker side of the ceiling block. "Like Geralt, you too are now in a Cell with quite an unfortunate chain of events yet to play out which will result in... will in very an unhealthy end not only for you but your sister and that vixen partner of yours,"

Turning Wolf felt his blood chill at the yellow-shirted man walking up to his cell.

"I do believe you know who I am... I'm sure your father told you about me," The 'human' said smiling at the cursed witcher.

"Gaunter O'Dimm... yeah Geralt told me about you," Wolf slowly approached his cell door.

"Though we did meet once only for a brief moment when you were helping Geralt look for your dear mother," The entity stated. "It was but for a brief glance..."

"Why are you here Master Mirror?" The werewolf was on edge not wanting to anger the powerful entity in front of him.

"Well I was collecting a few debts then I came across rumors of two certain individuals that sounded awfully familiar children of a former proxy of mine," Gaunter smiled looking at the hybrid. "And to my surprise, I find the great helmed witcher locked in a ceil... on another world not his own,"

"Come to mock me Gaunter?"

"What? Oh no no no! You got me wrong Wolf I come here with a deal... one that I'm pretty sure you can't deny unless you wish your sister to be vivisected and your partner to... well she wouldn't want to repeat that part of her life again," Gaunter said coldly. "These Equines... *tsk tsk tsk* they aren't aware if it wasn't for her all world would have fallen to the white frost including this one,"

Holding the cell bars Wolf looked at Gaunter.

"You really think she would go that far?" Wolf asked referring to the pony that put him in this cell.

"You think she wouldn't? It's always the quiet ones that are the most violent," The merchant said holding the small pocket bag that was tied around his neck.

Wolf looked at the entity before closing his eyes before speaking.

"What do you want in return? I doubt you're helping me from the kindness of your heart," Wolf asked before opening his eyes at the 'human'.

"Well there is a certain someone who I gain his wish a long time ago... and he's currently... well in a prison himself but unlike you, I can't break him out of it to collect his debt to me. To where I can I offer you and your companions you a way out that rigged trial that awaits you tomorrow morning where you will lose," Gaunter told the cursed witcher. "We'll talk about the details of my end of the deal at the crossroad outside of ponyville next to the lone pine tree at midnight,"

Gaunter held out his hand.

"Deal?"

Wolf looked at the hand before sighing.

"Deal..." Grabbing Gaunter's hand the two struck the bargain but the moment they did a hot pain to the side of Wolf's face caused the cursed witcher to stumble. "MOTHER-!"

As the pain settled Wolf looked up to see Gaunter was no longer there.

"Hey! Be quiet back there!"

Sitting down on his prison bed Wolf began to wonder what Gaunter had planned for him, his sister, and his partner's freedom.

(Morning)

Waking up to the sound of the ceiling door opening the witcher got up to turn the ceiling door.

"Come on mutt you being released," The witcher got up to see the guards. "There is no evidence that can convict you and your friends of the charges you were given,"

Standing up the Witcher held the branding on the side of his face.

Still sore from last night...

To remind him about the deal he had made hours ago.
