Main Quest 1 - The Witcher's duty and daze of first meetings.
Pushing the brush away as she explore the new place. She smiled as she looked all around herself, not a blemish from the war in sight, cementing the idea she is no longer in Velen or in any part of the world. =This is truly not the continent at all, the stench of death and war is not present anywhere.= she stepped over a log as she ducked under the branch only to stop as she heard something, she moved forward =what's that?= she thought as she pushes the flora out of her way only to hear the clear yells and distress call for help. With a burst of speed she ran forward. Coming to a scene recoiling back in surprise to sea a pack of wolves made out of timber. Eyes green from magic as they clawed at a large stone hovel that sounds of a young child whimpering in distress. "Well.. this is new" she drew her blade as she gave a flick of her wrist, she raised her hand and gave a mighty whistle catching the pack of 5's attention. "Come pick on someone bigger, I dare you lot." with a smirk, she anticipated their first move. They growled and one lunge at her, she sidestepped slashing it's side, her blade cutting the bark that it's 'skin' if you would call it that. Howling and grunted in pain as it skidded, its packmates now circled around her. She kept an eye on all of them "Now ain't that fair?" without another word she teleported, confusing the wolf they yelp back only for one of them to howl in pain as it was cut down. She withdrew her sword as she steps back from the fallen wooden wolf. "Who's next?" two came at her at once, she phased through them, cutting them both with a battle cry and swings of her blade.
She dodge to the side letting the 3rd passed her as she moved forward slashing upward catching the pack leader in the face. With her advantage she finished him off with a battle cry and a strong lunging slash that cleaved through the wood, the leader crumble into pieces, the magic seemingly leaking away. Seeing this the surviving ones growl angrily at her as they make their retreat. She breathes a sigh of relief, sheathing her sword as she walked over to the stone hovel, crouching down as she gives a warm greeting "Hello little one, its alright now. The wooden wolves are gone now" a voiced shakily replied, seemingly speaking in common tongue but with an distinct accent. "They're t-timberwolves.." and a small form crawled out
"T-thank you mi-" she looked up while Ciri looked down, both surprised at each other, for Ciri she's looking down at a small yellow horse foal with a ribbon tied on her mane.
Ciri knelt down , staring. "You're speaking?"
Arching her eyebrow the filly replied "Of course ah do, what bout cha? What in blazes are ya? Ya don't look like no Minotaur?" she titled her head as she step out further, Ciri can see the young filly can reach her knee with her head.
"Minotaur? Come now, do i have horns?" she pat her head chuckling.
Giggling herself "Ah yeah, pardon mah manners maam.. Thank ya kindly for saving me. Ah'm Applebloom!" She noted there is a strange brand on her thighs of a shield and an apple, mayhaps a coat of arms, looking back she replied back.
"Hello there Applebloom, I'm Ciri." she put a knee on the floor still crouched down. "What are you doing alone in the woods? Where are we exactly?" She inquired first.
Applebloom readily replied "Well, we're in whitetail woods, it's pretty safe here. Pretty frightening them Timberwolves attacked, they usually only venture in Everfree. So what are ya?" She point a hoof at her. "Well I'm a human, I am not around from here" she muttered.
=Definitely new world.=. The young Witcher thought.
Applebloom looked around awed "Wow, you beat those scoundrels all by yourself? You're pretty tough for a girl. You are a girl right?" she arches an eyebrow getting a giggle in reply.
"Last i checked. Now then. Shall we head back to where you live? I would like to know more about this place."
Beaming widely the young filly can only nod running off. "Follow me, Ah introduce ya to the family!" she trot on Ciri could only chuckle and follow suit with a stride in her steps.
Their journey did not take more than 10 minutes as Applebloom walked out of the woods hopping in joy as she sweep her hoof forward toward the town on the distant "Welcome to Ponvyille Ciri! Well, mah home is that away" she point a direction and trot on, following her Ciri asked her more questions.
"So what does your family do? And mind telling me what's this land called?" as she look to the side watching the town as they moved down another path leading to Applebloom's home.
"Well, we Apples are farmers. we make the best apples in the whole of Equestria.. oh yeah which is this land." she explained to her, a spring to her step as they then stopped after crossing an archway passing into an wide orchard,
Ciri can see a barnhouse over yonder. She leaned on the fence post. "Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres! Ah gotta get mah sis. Stay put!" she zipped away calling out a name "Applejack! We got visitors!" shouting that. Ciri could only gave a short laugh as she wait to meet new friends, looking around the orchard.
=They do seem nice apples, ripe and in great condition. Hmm, wonder if they accept Crowns here?= she thought herself as a new voice spoke up
"Well ah be, what in blazes?" she looked back surprised to see a young small mare big enough to come up to her waist, wearing an odd but fitting hat. Arching her eyebrow the new pony spoke "Howdy there, so ah take it you're the new visitor Applebloom been hollarin bout?" she nodded in reply
"Yes, I'm Cirilia you may call me Ciri, your daughter was attacked by what was it? Timberwolves." causing her to recoil in shock.
"Timberwolves? Ah thought you went to Whitetail!" She snorted and glared back at Applebloom
"Ah did! And AJ here is mah big sister!" that second one she looked at Ciri.
"Ah, apologies. She speaks the truth, she we did came from the woods she claims, she hid inside a rock hovel out of reach as I.. warded the wolves away."Smiling.
She looked back. "Well, thank ya kindly for saving mah sis. Pardon mah manners. Ah'm Applejack" she tips her hat and thrust her hoof forward, chuckling she crouch down and grab her hoof
"Nice to mee-" her arm moved up and down fast as she could somehow felt a grip she pulled back as she shook her hand slightly "meet you.. Applejack" she gave a smile nonetheless. She stood up blushing as they could hear her stomach grumble, chuckling
"Someone's hungry. C'mon its bout lunch anywho. Our treat for protecting our sister." She tipped her hat and begun walking back towards the house along with Applebloom.
She smile in gratitude "Thank you" and she followed them towards their home to meet the rest of their family.
