More and more, I find monsters wherever I go.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
A reclusive sorcerer who uses an alias and hires a young girl to procure him a witcher. You don't want my monster. You want me to kill yours.
Wizards are all the same. You talk nonsense while making wise and meaningful faces.

Have you ever heard of the Curse of the Black Sun? First full eclipse in 1,200 years. It marked the imminent return of Lilit, demon goddess of the night sent to exterminate the human race. According to the wise mage Eltibald, Lilit's path was to be prepared by 60 women wearing gold crowns who'd fill the river valleys with blood.
Hm. Doesn't rhyme. All good predictions rhyme.
Evil is evil, Stregobor. Lesser, greater, middling... it's all the same. I'm not judging you. I haven't only done good in my life either. But now, if I have to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.
If we must do this now, here's your first lesson. As in life, it is impossible always to be fully prepared for battle. Keep your sword close, and keep moving.
People call you a monster too.
A mutant.
What if they come after you? Attack you?
They have.
Why not kill them?
Because then... I am what they say I am.
Lesson number two: know when it's time to stop moving.
In the face of the inevitable, Cirilla, good leaders should always choose mercy. In the future, you will be wise to do the same.
The girl in the woods will be with you always. She's your destiny.
I love the way you just... sit in the corner and brood.
Come on, you must have some review for me. Three words or less.
(after long pause) They don't exist.
What don't exist?
The monsters in your song.
You should've let me die. At least I had control over that.
Oh that's adorable, piglet. You weren't taking control. You were losing it.
Chaos is the most dangerous thing in this world. It's all around us all the time. Volatile and powerful. But... each one of you showed an aptitude for channeling it. Your conduit moment created a new ripple in chaos, reaching me here in Aretuza.
Magic is organizing chaos. And while oceans of mystery remain, we have deduced that this requires two things. Balance and control. Without them, chaos will kill you.
