"What exactly is the Elder Blood [1]?

According to some, it is a powerful elven curse that had been pa.s.sed down for generations . Those whose veins where the infamous Hen Ichaer [2] flow are said to carry death and destruction within them, to sow repugnance and disdain in the hearts of people .

Ithlinne [3] had prophesied that an avenger would be born from this contaminated blood . This avenger would be a destroyer of nations and worlds .

Others, however, claimed that the Elder blood was an inherited, extremely rare talent . It could grant them control over time and s.p.a.ce to a degree which was unattainable even to elven Sages [4] .

Unfortunately, only a few bearers of this gift have been able to control its powers in full . This partial mastery would lead to sudden outbursts that took the form of unpredictable, uncontrollable, deadly explosions .

The truth of these tragic cases lay behind the dark legends about the Curse of the Elder Blood .

Obviously, the bearers of the Elder Blood were always the center of attention to the world's mighty and mages alike .

The former relied on the truth of Ithlinne's prophecy: They wanted an avenger who could destroy worlds, one they could use for their own purposes .

The latter hoped to harness the magic of Hen Ichaer to broaden their own knowledge and magical powers .

These were multiple views regarding the Elder's Blood that had been recorded in a book called 'Elder Blood . ' It was a biased, skewed piece of writing .

On the other hand, Olivia had just been exposed to the clean, whole truth, courtesy of the system .

Avallac'h [5] had created a Gate of the World with the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin Bréacc Glas [6] . By using this gate, their race could travel to any other world . The Conjunction of the Spheres [7] was actually a phenomenon that happened when these elves opened the Gate of the World . However, as they had accidentally lost the ability to travel between worlds, the Gate of the World was closed forever . Therefore, these elves were forced to stay in the world, never be able to return to their own world . When they lost this ability, Eredin and Avallac'h had planned to nurture a beautiful female elf that had the ability to travel through the Gate of the World . Therefore, they had spent a long, long time 'nurturing' Lara Dorren [8], a female elf that carried with her the powers of the Elder's Blood .

Lara Dorren was actually an ancestor of Cirilla . Suffice to say, Cirilla had inherited her blood . You could imagine how Cirilla would be the focus of Avallac'h and Eredin .

To be honest, Olivia was actually quite interested in the 'Gate of the World . ' She wanted to know whether this Gate was related to the 'Two Dimensional Gate' that she had . No wonder she was so close to Cirilla . It turned out that everyone had a gate . . .

However, Olivia had not yet felt the powers of Cirilla's 'Gate of the World . ' The only thing she felt was the healing ability of this 'Elder Blood,' which was comparable to the best 'Full Moon' [8] potion out there!

In reality, Olivia did not need to give any vitality regeneration potion for Cirilla to drink . Cirilla had a pa.s.sive regeneration ability . If Cirilla ever got wounded in the game, the 'Elder's Blood' that was flowing in her veins would slowly regenerate her health back to normal . Instead, Geralt, who was a witcher, needed to use potions, food, and meditation to restore his vitality . . .

However, there was no choice . Olivia did not know about Cirilla's physical condition . She just felt that even if she died, she would only leave the Source World . Who knows, she might even be able to return in another manner . No matter what, she did not want Cirilla to die .

Olivia did not even think of how Cirilla would react if she really died . Then, as prophesied, she would destroy the entire world for her sister . Anyone with sister complexes would react like so - it had been that way since the dawn of time .

Cirilla cried tears of joy when she realized how her blood had slowly improved Olivia's condition . It was just like a drowning man catching the last strand of straw that saved his life . . .

She resolved to feeding her sister with her own Elder Blood every single day . Olivia discovered that the Elder Blood had even replenished her 'Two Dimensional Gate' ability rapidly . Was the 'Gate of the World' reacting to her gate?

Olivia obviously could not let her sister bleed every single day . Once she felt that her body was improving she quickly stopped her sister . After seeing the deep scar on Cirilla's wrist, she was sincerely moved .

To her, the Source World was a very, very convincing literary world . However, in the end, it was still an illusion . Thanks to Cirilla, she was no longer as sure . Either way, she was a true sister .

As the saying went, those who survive a catastrophe were bound to have good fortune . As Cirilla and Olivia were in the process of escaping, they were first given shelter by the kindly druids colony . After that, they were adopted by a kind lady . Her name was Chrisididae [9], and she was a merchant's wife .

Chrisididae could not give birth to children anymore, but she had always wanted a daughter . After she came Cirilla and Olivia, the cute pair of sisters, she adopted them in an instance .

She had actually wanted to adopt Olivia only . Who asked her to be the cuter one?

However, Olivia did not want to be separated from Cirilla . Therefore, Chrisididae had adopted both of them together .

However, before she had the time to raise her daughters, her husband, Yurga [10], sent both his daughters away to someone else . This person was the legendary witcher – Geralt .

Yurga's chariot was stranded at a bridge in the canyons, where both his servants had deserted him . Geralt, who came across Yurga, invoked the 'Law of Surprise' as the price for giving him protection in exchange .

At some point, Yurga had placed the unconscious Geralt on his chariot after Geralt got injured trying to fend off the siege of the monsters . He was then taken to a nearby town to be treated .

Yurga initially thought that Geralt would not be able to get a reward from the Law of Surprise . This was because his wife, Chrisididae, was no longer fertile . It was impossible for him to have an unexpected child .

Instead, Yurga proposed to have one of his sons follow Geralt as an apprentice witcher . However, Geralt did not accept his proposition .

After meeting Dandelion [11], the group returned to Yurga's home . There, they discovered that Chrisididae had adopted the two Princesses of Cintra . One of them was even the 'Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms' . . .

Rather than call it a coincidence, it was better to say that it was the 'Law of Surprise . ' This time, even Olivia had become a part of the 'Law of Surprise . '

Geralt was ecstatic . He had wanted to be Olivia's dad so much . It was amazing to have a tsundere Lolita daughter!

However, when he thought about the misfortune that had befallen upon these two young girls, he quickly became somber again .
