This is the second of my stories on this forum ( the other you can find in predator stories section ) this one was written quite a while back and underwent serious rewriting over the past year.
This story is quite a long one, it would make a medium sized book so i will have tough time posting it all here but ill do my best.
The story takes place in the world known as Shadowlands, thousands of years before the action of the story takes place two great civilizations that combined magic and technology had it out in a worldwide war.
As a result both Norn and Arya are extinct for over twenty thousand years, the war left the world full of relics, ancient ruined cities, magic and technological wonders from the past ages.
In this time the humanity evolved from forest dwelling hunters, begun to build cities on top of the ancient ruins, reclaiming the land from the hordes of abominations left from the ancient war.
However humans were weak, their knights and warriors often no match for undead or technological monstrosities that now owned the ruined lands.
The mages and alchemists of one of the kingdoms have came up with a solution, to create an ideal warrior, one who would wield sword and magic alike.
In the ancient fortress Caer Morhen near the peaks of the Misty Mountains the Witchers were created.
Homeless and nameless children are taken, they udergo the trial of grass and magical mutations, after years of training adept in the way of sword and magic, having knowledge of the ancient races conflict they pave the way for humanity with their sword in places others dare not venture.
For two centuries each ten years a hundred new Witchers left Caer Morhen and spread around the old continent to protect people from in the evil, dark, ruined world.
This is the story of one of them, Gerald of Tamarra.
This concludes the introduction, feel free to praise, flame and generally comment i will post chapter one shortly i need to divide it into smaller parts first.
[ The inspiration for this story was the book by R.Sapkowski, i borrowed the name of the main characters main name and the general concept from the man.]
Thank you and hope you will enjoy it.
