[hanzajesthanza]

katabasis —

A going or marching down or back; (mythology, literature) A mytheme or trope in which the hero embarks on a journey to the underworld.

Fic Summary: Emiel Regis departs from Beauclair one midnight, in pursuit of conversation and the promise of discovering those who would be capable of truly understanding him. It takes him on a journey downwards, in which he experiences several significant revelations. A descent. And a search for kinship. Culminating in total catharsis.

This is a short story, a bit comedic, a jeu d'esprit which demanded itself to be written, functioning as a brief character study for Regis.

Featuring:

Dynamics of Geralt's hanza and various detailed accounts about their stay in Beauclair.

Vampire headcanons.

Some additions to the lore of the Sansretour valley.

Generally a humorous tone, with some emotional bits.

And of course, the overwhelming power of friendship.

Delightful-written like it could have been an excerpt from the books and feels remarkably in character. Definitely should give this a read.
