If it helps, let her know the creatures are dead. She didn't create a new species that's populating the land, a reminder of what she can do.

[ Geralt told him once that Ciri didn't want to be special, so the existence of things that only she can do might be unnerving. The two of them have made peace enough for tolerance, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care. He cares for many reasons, Geralt and Yennefer being two of the major ones. It is unlikely Thorne could have made any connections if they saw this, but best not to give them the option.

It's not Istredd's business what Ciri will or won't do with her magic, but it would be his advice that she should learn to use it or it'll be more than she can handle. It wouldn't be only for her; he's become a teacher in Thorne, he's said as much to several different Summoned who come here with uncontrolled power. He assumes she is better trained than she is, but he wouldn't be surprised to hear otherwise. She's very stubborn, he knows that much. ]


I agree with Thorne, as you know. When it comes to the Singularity, at least. [ Not their plans for it, but their belief in its power and reach. He raises an eyebrow at him.] And according to your notes, so do you.

[ It was one of the first things they spoke about. As for what he learned, well. Istredd is used to finding things fascinating that other people think are limiting. His lot in life. ]

Yes, I already believed that the crater's influence is all spiritual and mental, the physicality doesn't matter. Some theories need to be tested.

[ After decades studying the monoliths without proof, he wants his findings to be backed up. ]

The person I took with me who has a connection to the Singularity, she was overwhelmed by images it was throwing at her. More so than Rhy, who found it pleasant to commune. I wonder if part of it is the Singularity having more to say than last year.
