Summary:
The concept of time, for someone most would consider immortal, was… odd. Forming attachments to mortals came at a high risk for their short lives passed in the blink of an eye. Even a witcher, whose life was extended through their mutations, would last a few centuries at most.
Or at the very least, that’s what Regis had expected upon meeting the oddly familiar witcher, Geralt of Rivia. He’d hoped for a few good centuries of friendship before death would claim the witcher, and he was only partially right.
Death did, indeed, claim the witcher one cold afternoon. So Regis decided to take on the mantle of being a witcher in his honour, in an attempt to atone for mistakes he made in his past that have seemingly tied his fate to that of Geralt: a man who he keeps meeting each time Geralt is reborn.
