Jesus Christ, that was one of the most bittersweet stories I've ever read. It can't even be said that it was a story of unrequited love, because it's quite clear that Geralt loved her. He just knew he loved Yennefer more.

As sad as it was, I thought the ending was brilliant. It's a cruel and unforgiving world; things don't always work out the way we want them too, and the two of them were no exception. Geralt went back to Yennefer to try and make their relationship work again, and Essi died young, waiting for the (presumably) only man she'd ever loved, with nothing but that blue pearl necklace to be the only part of him she could ever have.

Gives some depth to Dandelion too: for as haughty and unaffected as he seems, he's been through more than you'd think; burying a woman who was basically his little sister. All while remaining unwaiveringly good to his friends both in their hours of need - and after their hour has passed. Makes me wonder if he ever told Geralt Essi's fate, or kept it to himself and let the Witcher continue on in blissful ingnorence.

Either way; Rest In Peace Little Eye. May that blue pearl take you away to a better time.
