It doesn't matter why it went wrong! Or fucking how! I was supposed to go with Ciri, but they wouldn't take me -- I don't know. I don't know.
I heard them take her. When we split up, she had a stone. It was supposed to, fuck, perform whatever it heard? I suppose? I didn't even believed it worked. I got it so long ago. But I heard them. I heard them dragging her, and Ciri wasn't speaking, or shouting, or even cursing, and then --
The noise I heard was horrible. Like a scream. Like the earth itself was screaming.
[ she could say a lot here, about how furious she is that this happened, but that her fury isn't directed at jaskier. rather, there is a brief moment where she considers what it would mean if jaskier had been taken too - geralt, istredd, ciri, and jaskier. it would leave her alone, again, without any real way of contact. without any knowledge to what's going on.
it's such a devastating thought that she can't even find it in her to be angry at him, either. so instead the feeling just sort of swirls somewhere in her chest, to be let out on someone else, at someone else. ]
Jaskier- you're the single most well-known Summoned on this fucking continent. Of course they weren't going to take you. But listen to me- We're going to find them. There is not a single thing on this sphere that will stop me. Alright?
Fuck.
[ she doesn't really mean to send that last bit, but it makes its way through anyway. ]
Who gives a shit? Honestly? With how many people they've taken, it wouldn't have mattered!
[Unfortunately his anger, righteous or not, has no where to go. And it's mostly for himself. That he should have done more. Convinced Ciri this was a terrible idea, or fought until he was dead to make sure they stayed together.
Now he is left behind. With Yennefer.
How history does repeat.]
I will burn every acre of this world to find them.
[That's her line, isn't it? Yet he feels it. He knows he will.]
