Stygga Castle - Tumblr Posts
The first time Ciri met Regis he was drinking blood from a dead body. She wasn't afraid though, they were keeping her captured and he had just saved her life. She only felt save with this man who looked to be unassuming if it wasn't for the obvious vampire traits coming through.
Ciri had known she lost something when she walked away from Stygga castle with her dad. Her dad lost more, his smiles were more tense and his eyes always sad. She found him looking towards Stygga Castle more often and always talking to ravens.
"Who was he? Someone important?" Ciri asked Geralt one day seeing his eyes linger.
"Someone irreplaceable, someone loved," Geralt said in response.
Ciri knew then her dad would never be okay.
Meeting Regis: Part One
After Geralt gets his memories back he leaves on the path on his own without a word to anyone. Triss had been there but it felt wrong, his once tied destiny with Yennefer was destroyed by his death (Geralt had died in Rivia during a non-human purge). The memories of his Hansa were once again a raw wound.
Dandelion/Jaskier was as safe as the bard could be.
Cahir, Angoulême, Milva, and Regis had died or were missing. He could not leave it at that. Higher vampires couldn't truly die except by their own kind. He had not seen the bodies of the others. He'd make sure and if they were alive he wouldn't abandon them.
Ciri was somewhere, missing, but his daughter had always been a mystery in her location. They'd eventually meet again like always.
He made it to Stygga castle to find two vampires living there, one was Regis. If Geralt was able to he would've cried, he did his best to express his feeling to the vampire. Maybe, things would be okay.
The second time Ciri met Regis they didn't actually meet. It was through strange dreams and stories told by Dandelion. Her dad would never talk about him. She suspected it hurt too much.
"What was he like?" Ciri asked Dandelion who was rather intoxicated.
"All the songs I write about him and stories I tell will never be enough to say what he was like. Regis is undifineable. He's the only person that I've met that made Geralt actually happy with just his presence," Dandelion said. The words were serious despite how much he had drank and the words didn't have any poetry to them, just raw emotions.
Ciri knew that even Dandelion wasn't okay with Regis's death. It spoke volumes how serious he was and the raw emotion in his eyes. She already knew no one else had made her dad happy, couldn't have for her dad still didn't smile or laugh like he used to.
