He then leaves the premises with a surviving hybrid young elven girl, swearing that if she ever harms anyone, he'll call for Vesemir's sword. They rescue the captured Filavandrel, who explains that Kitsu tried to replicate the experiments that was done on her, and they come to the conclusion that witchers were responsible, creating new monsters to palliate their declining numbers. They kill the monster, but Kitsu flees further into the forest.įollowing Kitsu, the pair come across an old and abandoned elven school where they find the bodies of the other missing female elves. They find the girl, who can now cast powerful illusions due to a mutation, and fight her basilisk. Vesemir and Tetra travel the forest in search of Kitsu, and she tells him the story of a young sorceress wrongfully killed by a witcher as part of a con, and that she is convinced that all witchers are 'corrupted'. She personally delivers the mission order to Vesemir and reveals herself as a much older Illyana, contrasting with the young-looking Vesemir, who ages slowly due to his alterations. Tetra implores the king to execute the imprisoned witchers, but Lady Zerbst persuades the king to instead send Vesemir along with Tetra to rid the forest of Kitsu. Later he, and another fellow witcher, Luka, are arrested for killing two knights who had insulted them in a tavern. Vesemir visits Kaer Morhen where he reluctantly oversees the training of new children recruits.

Meanwhile, a sorceress, Tetra Gilcrest of the Kaedwen Court, tries to convince the king to wipe out the witchers of Kaer Morhen, but her attempts are unsuccessful due to the efforts of Lady Zerbst, a royal councillor who is sympathetic to the witchers and their cause. He asks the witcher to help him investigate, but Vesemir refuses. In the present, Vesemir is visited by the elf Filavandrel, who thinks the leshen was controlled by Kitsu, an elven girl who went missing and was followed by numerous others. Enticed by promises of coin and riches, Vesemir left Illyana and traveled to Kaer Morhen, and after years of brutal training and body-altering experiments, he became a successful witcher, notorious for his skills and arrogance. A witcher named Deglan deduced that the woman was possessed by a Mare and successfully exorcised the monster with Vesemir's help.

Vesemir reminisces about his youth when he, along with his best friend Illyana, were servants for a noble whose mistress had suddenly fallen ill. Before dying, the creature says something in an archaic elven dialect to Vesemir, leading him to think it was controlled by someone. The story begins with Vesemir saving a noble child from a leshen in a forest in Kaedwen.
