Trader’s camp east of Oxenfurt

I shall keep this entry brief, for I haven’t much time. I have accepted my first contract, on what I believe to be a particularly powerful nightwraith. According to Silas, the trader who posted the contract, a local girl recently ran off with one of his men, a Skelliger by the name of Horst. Unfortunately, the two never got to marry, for their wedding was interrupted by a bandit gang, who killed Horst and attempted to ravish the girl, who took up her lover’s sword and killed herself rather than allow them to lay hands on her. I found her body in a shallow grave, marked only by the fresh earth covering it. All that is left now is to wait a few hours and burn the bones. Maybe then she will have peace.

Crow’s Nest, Temeria

Today, I finished my training, and set out on the Path. This morning, I headed down to the yard for more sword practice when Geralt told me that I was ready-that he had nothing left to teach me. To be completely honest, I don't believe him. How is it that he managed to condense centuries of knowledge and witcher training into just these past few years? I can’t be ready, but he seemed so certain that I didn’t want to argue the point. Soon, as I have known since I started training, I will have to venture out into the wilds alone, to hunt monsters and monstrous men, but i’m still in shock that it was this soon. I only hope that I can make it without Geralt to guide me along his path, although I suppose that that’s the point. In any case, tonight I will feast with the Baron and his men, and then tomorrow I will take my first contract, although I know not where from. I only hope I can be half the Witcher that Geralt is, and Vessmir was.
