The first season of The Witcher focuses quite a lot on Princess Cirilla’s prophecy and her destiny, which is somehow bound to the fate of the world, but never actually explains what this prophecy is.

It’s safe to say that The Witcher saga is essentially the story of Ciri and her burdensome destiny. And while the first few episodes do a good job of chronicling the adventures of our protagonist Geralt of Rivia, the pacing overwhelms Ciri’s journey, and in some cases, downright changes the course of events. One thing the plot doesn’t fail to repeatedly bring up, though, is Ciri’s Source powers and the prophecy that links her to the world’s end.

In Episode 1, titled “The End’s Beginning,” Ciri flees the burning capital of Cintra and in her anguish unleashes a power that shakes the earth and allows her to escape from a Nilfgaardian officer.
