“Nadbor! Sulik! How you've grown, like bulls! Come to me! Quickly...”

He paused when he saw a small, thin, ashen-haired creature slowly reaching for the boys. The little girl looked at him with large eyes that were green as the grass in the spring and bright as two stars. He saw her suddenly pick up speed and run... He heard her cry out in a shrill and piercing voice:

“Geralt!”

The witcher turned away from the horse in a swift and graceful motion. He ran to meet the young girl. Yurga was speechless. He never thought that a man could move so fast.

They met in the middle of the yard: the little ashen-haired girl dressed in gray; the white-haired witcher with a sword on his back, dressed in shiny silver-studded black leather. The witcher jumped lightly, the little girl stumbled, the witcher on his knees, thin girlish hands around his neck, gray mousy hair falling on his shoulders. Złotolitka gave a muffled scream. Yurga drew her to him without saying a word and took her in his arms. His other arm hugged the two boys.

“Geralt!” the little girl repeated, clinging to the witcher's chest. “You've found me! I knew it! I always knew! I knew you'd find me!”

“Ciri,” the witcher said.

Yurga did not see Geralt's face, hidden by the ashen hair. He could only see hands clad in black gloves squeezing the girl’s back and shoulders.

“You've finally found me! Oh, Geralt! I waited all this time! Yes, a terribly long time... We'll stay together now, won't we? Now we'll be together, right? Say it, Geralt! Forever! Say it!”

“Forever, Ciri.”

“Yes, just like they said! Geralt! Like they said... I'm your destiny? Say it! I'm your destiny?”

Yurga was astonished when he saw the eyes of the witcher. He heard Złotolitka's weeping quietly and felt her shoulders trembling. He watched the witcher and waited, in suspense, for his answer. He knew that he would not understand the answer, but he waited anyway. And as he waited.

“You're something more, Ciri. Something more.
