In Netflix's new mystical collection The Witcher, audiences watched the complex storylines of ways Geralt of Rivia's (Henry Cavill) fate aligns with the young Princess Ciri (Freya Allan). In Episode 4, fans realized about the Law of Surprise and how the two titular characters are each different's future.

In the final episode of Season 1, Geralt and Ciri in any case unite in the woods, which were foreshadowed during the season, and the younger lady asks the hulking witcher, "Who is Yennefer (Anya Chalotra)?" 

Throughout the supernatural TV series, fanatics have been introduced to the tough sorceress who sooner or later becomes Geralt's love hobby.

However, their courting and "chance" conferences are more than just a serendipitous incidence. In Episode 5,  "Bottled Appetites," Geralt turns into the master of a djinn — aka a genie. When he unknowingly makes a wish for some "peace," his good friend Jaskier becomes injured with a life-threatening magical curse. 

Searching for a mage to heal his comrade, Geralt in spite of everything meets the gorgeous Yennefer, which ends with him the use of his last wish to save lots of her lifestyles.

So, what did the witcher wish for?

After Yen learns that the two are in ownership of a djinn, she desires to make use of the magical being to turn into a vessel in hopes of curing her infertility issues. As the genie begins killing the sorceress, Geralt makes use of his final wish to spare her life and the djinn disappears. 

Unfortunately for fanatics, it is by no means stated out loud what the witcher in truth wished for.

From the tv collection and Andrzej Sapkowski's quick story "The Last Wish," which the djinn tale is based totally off of, it is transparent that Geralt's wish by some means tied Yennefer's existence to his. When Yen finds out that their lives had transform entangled as a result of magic, she questions her feelings for Geralt. 

"Yennefer is linked to Geralt in some way, she has that pull," Anya said (by the use of TV Guide). "She's constantly, I think, quite confused about the role destiny has to play and whether her feelings are actually true. So we see her go on that journey of frustration and anger."

Neither the quick tale or the series gave away what Geralt if truth be told needed for, but showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich published that the writers already got here up with the answer.

However, she defined that they will by no means reveal the exact "last wish" to audience, telling TV Guide: "We know, I'm not sure anyone else will ever know."

Adding, "But to know the story, we had to very much decide on, 'This is what we're hearing,' so that we can make sure that as the dominoes fall in later seasons we all understand what it is."

For now, we know that Geralt's destiny lies with both Ciri and Yennefer. Though Yen disappeared at the end of Season 1 whilst preventing towards Nilfgaard, it is safe to mention she's not useless. Overally, we're excited to (with a bit of luck) see the 3 titular characters unite on-screen in Season 2. 

While we anxiously wait for new episodes, we will just need to stay binge-watching the first eight episodes. 

You can now move The Witcher Season 1 on Netflix.
