"I don't know,'"she whispered. "But we're going the wrong way, Geralt." They went around an overgrown bend, and it turned out Ciri had been right.

Personal piece illustrating one of my favorite sequences from the Witcher book series. Made from memory so some of the details may be incorrect, but hopefully I captured the essence of the encounter.

SCREAMS. CRIES EVEN. I THINK ABOUT THEM SO MUCH… BOTH OF THEM WERE SELDOM TOLD BEDTIME STORIES…. tears in my eyes….

Jaskier seeing a shapeshifter that looks like him: Oh wow! 10/10, would fuck actually

Shapeshifter: Yeah because you love yourself :)

Geralt seeing a shapeshifter that looks like him: Oh damn I'm hideous, 0/10, would murder actually

Shapeshifter: Oh no you hate yourself ...but I bet you love the bard, don't you :)

I'm rereading Sword of Destiny since I bought the illustrated version yesterday and why is he such a potty mouth during A Little Sacrifice what is your fucking problem

I just love this reunion 😭

Did I find it poetic that in the first story and in the last Geralt seeks comfort and some sort of moral, idealistic confirmation of his own struggles and beliefes from Dandelion/Jaskier, while with everyone else he confronts them about but only after he's already expressed himself or understood what they're thinking??? That from Dandelion/Jaskier Geralt needs something else, from this man who is a liar, a trickster, a cinic and even so seems to see in the world, people and life something that makes his soul writes and sings about it and enjoys it and finds worth about it??? That from this man he needs... a reminder that his feelings and beliefes on the Path are worth it fighting for, that he has to take responsability for those and the actions that followed???

Yes.

Absolutely.

I don't know if it's just what I want to read, but it's definitely what I understand by what I read.

'You found me! Oh, Geralt! I was waiting all the time! For so very long...We'll be together now, won't we? Now we'll be together, won't we? Say it, Geralt! Forever! Say it!' 'Forever, Ciri.' 'It's like they said! Geralt! It's like they said! Am I your destiny? Say it! Am I your destiny?' You're much more than that, Ciri. Much more.'

Her story, A Little Sacrifice, is a heartbreaking spin on the original tale.
