The two men finally get a chance to speak and Freixenet fills Geralt in on the rest of the details of Ciri's adventure so far. Flat-Earth Atheist: Geralt argues that golden dragons don't exist, even when he's standing looking at one.While Geralt mostly just threatens to spank Ciri, her grandmother and primary caretaker, queen Calanthe, was mentioned to be a firm believer that sparing the rod means spoiling the child, which is why Ciri tends to take those threats seriously. And of course Geralt himself did it to a corrupt burgher in The Last Wish, albeit under Yennefer's influence.

Mood Whiplash: Some of the silliest and darkest stories in the Witcher canon. A Little Sacrifice is especially notable, as it happens in-story. Twice. The stories are set on an unnamed Continent, [24] which was settled several thousand years earlier by elves from overseas. When they arrived, the elves encountered gnomes and dwarves. After a war between the elves and dwarves, the dwarves retreated into the mountains, and the elves settled in the plains and forests. Human colonists arrived about five hundred years before the events in the stories, igniting a series of wars. The humans were victorious and became dominant; the non-human races, now considered second-class citizens, often live in small ghettos within human settlements. Those not confined to the ghettos live in wilderness regions not yet claimed by humans. Other races on the Continent are halflings and dryads; werewolves and vampires appeared after a magical event known as the Conjunction of the Spheres.

In 2011, after the success of the audio play based on Sapkowski's Narrenturm, Fonopolis and audioteka.pl released the audio plays based on The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. Sword of Destiny, lasting about 15 hours, was voiced by 49 actors, including Krzysztof Banaszyk [ pl] as Geralt, Anna Dereszowska as Yennefer, Sławomir Pacek [ pl] as Dandelion, Joanna Pach [ pl] as Ciri, and Krzysztof Gosztyła [ pl] as narrator. More specifically, he refuses to claim Ciri to become a Witcher since the likely result is her grisly death. Gearalt decides to confront Yennifer on this new information, hoping to convince her that his love is true and her love of Geralt should not be denied. Instead he is left with the realisation he is just another number, another one of her fellow followers, at least that is how he feels. Geralt decides to confront Istredd, and the two men agree the only way to make Yennifer choose between them is a fight to the death. A sorcerer against a Witcher. The mayor discovers their intentions to battle and tries to persuade Geralt to leave town and never return for a pricey sum of gold coins. The Witcher is having none of it, knowing he would rather battle and die than run away from a chance with the woman who stole his heart.

Betty and Veronica: A rare male example. Yennefer is having difficulty choosing between the safe option of Istredd who is an adoring wizard in her profession and Geralt who is a mutant who has broken her heart before. She chooses neither.
