MONSTERS OF THE WITCHER 3: HYM| THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT dev. CD Projekt RED.
"These wraiths only latch onto particularly despicable individuals who have committed some unspeakable crime. To all others, they remain completely invisible. When they do show themselves to the one they torment, they appear as a tall, shadow-clad, humanoid silhouette with long, sharp claws.
Yet hyms do not sink these claws into their victims. Instead, they sap their strength directly, through inflicting suffering. Speaking in a voice only the victim hears, they drive him to commit acts of violence, aggression and self-harm. A hym will seize on a guilty person's worst fears and weave out of them hideous visions, slowing, driving the poor soul into madness." Bestiary Entry.

Day 27 - The ghost
During the quest about Udalryk, I was tormented by only one question: why didn’t anyone wrap little Akki in normal clothes and a warm blanket?? Consider this redesign a cry from the heart...

Monster Monday: Hym
A post-conjunction creature you encounter in the quest Possession. This monster feeds on jarl Uldaryks' guilty conscience and the two ways to defeat this demon is either to trick it, or the witchers way.
Personally I always use the trick because, well, I want to succeed. And I want Cerys to win the race to the crown.

Sososo obsessed w the fact that witcher is this dark and gritty medieval fantasy that also operates on fucking yu gi oh rules. Everyone plays the dominant card game and you can and will throw down at ANY time, including at the shitty minimum wage job where you barely make enough to eat. Npcs will be furious w me for something I did and then they cheer right up when I say "sooooo...gwent?"
Made even funnier by the fact that the cards are straight up The People Geralt Knows. It's like if fucking Exodia strolled into Walmart and challenged the cashier to battle, then played himself
#also sososo funny that u can get the skellige deck#which contains spoilers for the skellige arc#before going to skellige#playing crach and hinting at birna brans demise by playing the card#like homies why didnt u figure out udalryk was possessed earlier hes featured in the hym card!#ppl out here like o the wild hunts not real but they play the monster deck in gwent#witcher

Witcher 3 is giving me brain worms so how about a RWBY AU where Jaune is possessed by a Hym after killing Penny.
Possessed
'Uncle Qrow, can you help us look for Weiss?'
The request was simple, but dire. His niece's partner had disappeared some time ago, gone without a trace, and Qrow Branwen had taken it upon himself to help search for her. When he told Winter, Weiss Schnee's elder sister, she'd admitted that she'd already known and said that the one person who might know where she went was Jaune Arc, the leader of Team RWBY's sister team, JNPR. The two men weren't usually on the best of terms, and he doubted the sudden vanishing act would make their friendship, or lack thereof, grow any further from this.
Stepping into Team JNPR's home was unsettling. The sun was high in the sky, yet the common area was as dark as midnight, save for the fire blazing in the hearth. Lie Ren, a thin, young man from mistral in a green tunic looked to Qrow, waving him to the side.
"We'll be done soon."
As Qrow leaned against the wall, he glanced at Jaune and noticed how miserable he'd become since arriving in Shade. Dark bags hung beneath his eyes, proof that he'd not been sleeping well. Worse yet, he had bandages running up and down his arms and legs. As he spoke, there was a quake in his voice, like he'd seen a Grimm for the first time.
"She came to me again." Jaune said as he shook. "Came and ripped my arm off with her bare hands." He blinked, wiping and rubbing his eyes clear of any tears. "She's demanding a sacrifice."
"Or it could just be a nightmare, Jaune."
"No, no, no." Jaune shook his head. "She's wanting a sacrifice. There's no other meaning. I have to do this."
"That sounds like an extreme." Ren reasoned. "Maybe you should talk to someone-"
"I don't need to talk to anyone." Jaune nearly snarled at his teammate. He stood from his seat, addressing Qrow at last. The veteran huntsman approached, wasting no time for pleasantries.
"I'm looking for the little Ice Queen. You seen her?"
"Weiss? Yeah, the other day."
"Where is she now?"
Jaune was quiet for a moment, then looked to the side. "Hm? What?"
"Weiss. Where is Weiss?"
"I... I dunno..." He shook his head, waving his hand. "I don't have time for this." He then walked past Qrow, climbing the stairs and out of sight. Qrow looked to the remaining huntsman.
"I say somethin' wrong?"
"He's..." Ren pursed his lips, trying to think of the best way to explain the situation. "He's been through a lot recently, and I think this whole thing is starting to get to him."
"You don't say? He did seem kinda distant at the war meeting. Think it-"
"AAARGH!" Jaune shouted from upstairs.
"Excuse me, I need to check on him." Ren stepped away.
"Wait, what about Weiss? I need to find her!"
"I don't know. Try asking around." Ren said, halfway up the steps. "Maybe Nora or Oscar have seen her." Then he was gone.
"Great..."
--------------------------------------------------
As Qrow walked around town, he noticed a lot of people steering clear of the JNPR home. It made sense; that scream wasn't one of joy, or anything positive. He'd heard stories of lonely villagers being ostracized to the outskirts, if only to keep them from drawing the Grimm closer with their negativity. Unfortunately, Vacuo took those stories as history and embraced the tactic.
Asking around, a girl mentioned seeing Weiss going to the top of a nearby cliff, carrying something wrapped in cloth. Following directions was simple, but walking through the cave to get there was unnerving, despite not seeing a single Grimm as he passed through. At the mouth of the cave, lying unconscious, was Weiss.
"Weiss!" Carrying her out of the cave, he checked her neck for a pulse. She stirred, confirming his suspicions of her vitality.
"What... What happened?" She winced. "Oogh... My head..."
"Looks like something hit you on the head. Knocked you out."
"Qrow...?" She blinked slowly. "Why are you here?"
"I came looking for you. Your team and half of Shade is worried about you." He stood up. "We're heading back-"
"Not yet!" She stood, but stumbled into Qrow, who caught her. "Not until I help Jaune." She patted herself. "The doll! Where's the doll?! I need to-"
"What you need to do is rest." Qrow scowled. "You were half-dead when I found you."
"But I-"
"-need to tell me what's going on." Qrow helped her back to the ground. "Why were you out here?"
"I'm helping Jaune."
"By wandering off into a cave in the middle of nowhere? How will that help?"
"If I had the doll, it would."
"What doll?"
"It's a Penny doll." Weiss explained. "I was coming to make an offering to Penny's grave."
"An offering?"
"It's a long story." Weiss took a deep breath and used the wall outside of the cave entrance to help her to her feet. "Jaune told me that his family are Ancestrians, believing that the spirits of the dead friends and family help us become stronger. The best way to make those bonds stronger is to make offerings. Offerings like a doll made in the likeness of the deceased."
"Ain't there a grave for her in the middle of Shade?"
"A shrine, but not to her, but to everyone else who didn't make it from Atlas. The grave has to be individual, personal."
"So why here?"
Weiss stepped away from the wall and stopped halfway to the grave. "From here, you can see the entire town. Ruby, Jaune, and I thought this would be the best place for her to look over the people she died to protect."
"I remember Winter saying that Jaune killed Penny himself."
"To stop Cinder from taking the Winter Maiden's power, yes." She turned to Qrow. "I choose to believe Jaune when he says she told him to."
"Even though you weren't close enough to hear her tell him?"
"The only people who know for certain are Jaune and Penny." Her fists clenched a bit, with her lips pursed to match. "And I've already told you my thoughts on Jaune's words. Regardless, it's affecting him now as we speak. And I think the doll offering will help him."
"By leaving a doll at Penny's grave. Alone."
"Ruby is busy with her own thing and Jaune... Well, you've seen Jaune. What his guilt is doing to him."
"You mean the scars?" Qrow quirked a brow. "Thought he got that from his time in the Ever After."
"Hardly!" Weiss balked. "The only scars he took from any Grimm is have completely healed by now! No, this is much deeper scarring than any Grimm could do. I asked him about it, and he said that Penny AND Pyrrha are demanding he inflict pain on himself- to make things right. But I'd never think it could be either of them. No, this is all Jaune. That's why I need that doll-"
"What you need is to rest." Qrow jabbed a thumb over his shoulder. "I'll go look for the doll. You stay here and recover."
She gave a harrumph and sat down by the cave. The sun began its descent from the sky, casting shadows along the cave wall. In the newly brightened cavern, he could see the doll, or what remains of it, shattered inside the cloth on the ground. Qrow hummed as he picked it up. To the side, caught in the sunlight, he saw a dark figure with horns, and it snarled as it stared at him.
"What the-?!" As fast as Harbinger came out, the shade had disappeared. Checking around him, he couldn't see the Grimm, or whatever it was, and cautiously scooped up the remains of the broken doll. Something strange was going on, and Qrow had a feeling Jaune was more deeply involved in this than he'd originally thought.
"Do you have the doll?" Weiss asked as Qrow returned.
"What's left of it."
"What's left of- Agh!" Weiss slapped her forehead. "Of course it would be broken when I passed out. Nothing can ever go my way..."
"You're complaining to the wrong guy about that." He hummed. "So what now?"
"Well, now I have to go back and buy a new one." She sighed. "So much hard work undone by bad luck."
"Again, not the right guy complain to about that."
--------------------------------------------------
"Where is my sister by the way?" Weiss asked as she and Qrow walked towards JNPR's dwelling.
"Now? No idea." Qrow answered. "Why?"
"Oh, I just wondered why she let you look for me on your own."
"What do you mean 'let me'?" Qrow's voice had a dangerous tone to him.
"Oh, nothing." Weiss turned away. "I just thought she didn't like having you out of her sight. Oh, there's Jaune and Ruby!"
Correct in her statement, Jaune and Ruby were standing on the balcony of the home. As they approached, going through the inside of the building, they found Ruby rubbing Jaune's back while he rubbed his eyes with one hand. The other hand was wrapped about a hundred times over with a bright red spot from the center.
"It's too bright." Jaune groused. "My eyes are stinging."
"The fresh air is good, Jaune." Ruby comforted.
"Penny won't like this, Ruby..."
"Ahem!" Qrow announced himself.
"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby gasped. "AND WEISS~!"
"What's with the hand, kid?" Qrow pointed at Jaune's injury. "Penny tell you to do that?"
"Penny needed an sacrifice."
"I tried to explain it to him, Jaune." Weiss spoke before Qrow could. "He didn't know about your belief until I told him just a while ago. But what I failed to mention is that some older offering methods is the pain of the living. It brings you closer to the spirits, helps build strength inside of you."
"It's more than an offering," Jaune gave Qrow a dead serious look, "it's a sacrifice."
"Right." The veteran nodded. "So, about these voices in your head-"
"Penny's voice." Jaune snarled. "HER voice."
"Penny's definitely related to this alright."
Jaune had a flash of anger in his eyes. He stood up, his wounded hand moving to his sword. Weiss stepped between, holding her hands up. "I told him about the grave! I showed him and-"
"Penny's grave could be the key to solving this. That's why I think you need to apologize to her, there, in person."
"I..." Jaune shook, his voice breaking. "I didn't want to..." Tears began to well in his eyes as raised his bandaged hand to his face. "She asked me... Begged me, even, but I... She's so angry."
Qrow could keep pushing the issue, explaining his doubts that this is really Penny's ghost talking in his head. However, he doubted both Ruby and Weiss could calm him down together if Jaune got angry. So, he pulled out an ol' trick he learned in his younger years. A little thing called empathy.
"Let me help you." Qrow offered. "I promise to do everything I can to keep Penny from being angry."
"Listen to Uncle Qrow, Jaune." Ruby said, trying to be as soothing as possible. "I don't think Penny is angry with you, and even if she is, she's not the kind of person to say no to someone saying, 'I'm sorry'."
Jaune looked down the balcony to his team. They had just come back from grocery shopping, and Nora was playing with a cheese knife set, still in box, while Ren and Oscar expressed their concern, annoyed more so at Emerald's goading Nora. He smiled, then took a deep breath. "What do I need to do?"
"You know how to get to the grave, right?"
Jaune was quiet. "I do, but..." He shook his head. "My team won't let me leave. Not until my wounds are all healed."
"Even with Jaune's healing semblance," Ruby further explained, "he cut deep and nicked a really bad spot. Ren said he shouldn't be moving around too much."
"Well, we don't have much choice, do we?" Qrow shrugged. "I'm sure we can get a wagon to haul ya, if need be."
Jaune looked to the grave and winced. "No. No, I can't. Penny... She'll be angry. I can feel it!"
"She won't, though!" Ruby tried to calm him. "Uncle Qrow knows what he's doing, and Penny would want you to go with him!" Despite these words, though, Jaune refused to look away from the grave, even as the sun began to sting his eyes.
"Well, if you won't go, is there anything I can say on your behalf?" Qrow was getting tired of this charity case, moreso dealing with a fanatic like Jaune than his actual beliefs.
"Yeah... Tell her..." Jaune swallowed. "Tell her that I wish she was here instead of me."
"...Alright then."
--------------------------------------------------
The doll costed a hefty amount of lien, but that only made sense when you considered two facts. The first was that this was a figure made in the homage and likeness of a hero, a hero who died protecting Remnant. The second was that he was in Vacuo, which wasn't exactly known for thrifty prices, especially with how much they already pay for supplies, or "pay" by other means, either with coercion or intimidation. Or just plain stealing.
As he made his way up, he caught a few huntsmen walking in the opposite direction of the JNPR house. This normally wouldn't bother him, since huntsmen and huntresses make house call visits all the time. But what bothered him was what was on their shoulder patches; green wings, meaning these were triage huntsmen.
"Dammit..." Qrow began moving faster, almost sprinting as he could hear yelling from inside. He doubted they were Penny's voice this time.
"WHY?! WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!" Ruby screamed.
"I... I had to..." Qrow rounded the corner, finding Jaune in the middle of a crowd of his friends. Some, like his nieces and Ren, were angry. Others, like, well, the others, were concerned to varying degrees, ranging from face-holding like Yang or almost bawling like Nora. All the while, Jaune spoke with a shaking voice. "Pyrrha... Pyrrha and Penny demanded it..."
"Neither of them would tell you to do anything like this!" Weiss wailed.
"What the hell's going on?" Qrow asked, getting everyone's attention.
"Jaune... He-" Ruby started, only for Nora to shove her out of the way.
"HE ALMOST STABBED HIMSELF IN THE EYE~!"
"What?!" Qrow flinched. Looking to Jaune, he had a bandage on the side of his face. Though it was likely stitched and cleaned, he could still see blood oozing from the wound. "Why'd you do it?"
"Because..." And with the coldest, most distant stare Qrow had ever seen from a huntsman so young, answered. "Penny and Pyrrha demanded a sacrifice..."
With a glare, Qrow barked to the room. "Everyone out except Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss!" There was slow movement at first. "NOW!" The movement became much quicker. Taking a deep breath, Qrow began to calm down.
This had gone far enough. One voice was strange enough, but two asking for the same thing? Too strange to be a coincidence. And the shadow in the cave leading to the grave could be the key. But he couldn't rely on a hunch. He needed facts.
"What did Penny and Pyrrha say? Exactly. Do you remember? What did they tell you?"
Jaune was quiet, shivering despite being so close to the alight firepit. "They were angry. Penny said, 'You coward, you could kill me but you can't face me yourself?' and Pyrrha said after, 'You haven't changed since your failure at Beacon.' and together they said, 'Cut out your eye and suffer and regret the failure you are!'."
If this were a romance, this would be the point where the hero shouts that 'They would never say that!' but life is way more complicated. Especially since Qrow was the hero of this story, he thought, and he didn't know Pyrrha or Penny well enough to say this. Still, even with so many people arguing that this isn't true only doesn't proves how untrue it is when he was there at their final moments. But everyone is so focused on who said it that no one thought to ask WHY it was said.
"When did Penny and Pyrrha talk to you? Was it after I left?"
Jaune numbly nodded. "A bit after. I felt tired, so I thought I'd take a nap." He lifted his hand. "Heal my wounds with a bit of rest. But instead, they came to me in my attempts to dream."
"They always talk when you're asleep?"
"A-Always."
"What do you see then? Where do they talk to you in your dream?"
"Penny's grave." Jaune answered. "They tell me to make a light, then talk to me from the shadows."
Things started to click in Qrow's head. It explained why the JNPR house was dark, even in midday, and why Jaune screamed shortly after he left earlier that day. Combine that with the location they talk from, the shadow on the cave wall, and what Jaune was being told, everything lined up almost perfectly with the exact Grimm he was thinking of. Just one thing left to ask...
"Did they ever appear in front of you? Did you ever see them for yourself?"
"Once," Jaune swallowed, "I decided to be brave and speak to them, face-to-face, bringing the light around. I saw a hazy figure, shaped like a person, covered in shadows."
Qrow nodded. He looked to Ruby and Weiss, then stepped away. As he did, though, he noticed the shadow coming from Jaune looked different. Almost wavy. Not human.
"Everybody back in!" Without hesitation, or not much if there was any, the people he told to leave shuffled back in. He pointed at them, barking different orders; change Jaune's bandages, clean his wounds, keep him calm. The only ones he didn't bark orders to was Ruby and Weiss. He walked upstairs, to the balcony, with Ruby and Weiss following close behind.
"Uncle Qrow, what's going on?"
"The doll isn't going to do anything." Qrow said, setting the gift on the balcony.
"What's wrong with him?" Weiss asked.
"It's a Zimora." Qrow answered. "Old Grimm. Never seen one outside of a fairy tale. It latches onto huntsmen overcome with guilt for their crimes. It drains them of their aura, using the person by fueling their guilty conscience. In the end, they force their victims to mutilate themselves."
Weiss gasped and covered her mouth.
Ruby tightened her hands into balled fists. "So what do we do?"
"If I remember right, there's two ways to kill it," he raised his hand up into two fingers, "in theory." He flicked one finger. "The first option is the huntsman way; we bring Jaune out to Penny's grave and wait for it to show up. The fairy tales say that if you spend a night with the victim in the Grimm's lair, it'll show up."
"So we just need to wait with Jaune by Penny's grave?" Weiss asked. "Shouldn't be too difficult."
"Afraid it is." Qrow shook his head. "Not only will the Grimm be fighting for all its worth, but it'll heal its wounds using the victim, eventually to the point of their exhaustion and-"
"What's the other way?" Ruby asked, not wanting to hear more of this clearly worse option.
"It's a Grimm from the old age, back when Salem had rules for them." Qrow explained. "And this one's rule, supposedly, is that it needs a host. Without one, it'll be weak and easy to kill." Before Ruby could ask for clarification, Qrow held up a finger. "The host has to be one with incredible guilt. Fresh guilt. If we can trick it into believing there's a new host when there isn't one, it'll panic and suddenly become weaker."
"Then let's do that!" Ruby said with a smile.
"This is just a theory I came up with, Squirt. Haven't heard or read of anyone pulling this off."
"Well, then that just means no one's thought of a trick that good yet!"
"It seems impossible, but it's something we should at least try." Weiss added.
"Tricks are never simple, though. Even then, neither method is perfect. A Zimora only attacks those with a guilty conscience, someone who truly believes they've committed a great sin. The Zimora strengthens this regret and feeds off it. In other words, if the new host doesn't feel true agony and sorrow, the Zimora will sense that."
"Then... in order for this to work..." Weiss tapped her lip. "If anyone comes up with a plan, the other can't know about it."
"Exactly."
"Both are dangerous, but..." Ruby nodded. "I think we should try to trick it!"
"Sorry if I don't sound convinced."
"What, do you need my sister to think for you~?" Weiss teased, earning a scowl from Qrow. "If all else fails, we'll try the huntsman's way."
"Still, why'd you keep bringing her up? You jealous of her?"
"No, but... I've just noticed you're a bit... distracted around my sister."
"What, saying I'm hen-pecked?"
"Hen pecs?" Ruby asked, imagining a chicken with a buff chest.
"No, just of one mind about her. Like all men are." Weiss waved her hand. "Take an Atlas Specialist, a Mistral wizard, or a Vale Huntsman- you all end up wrapped around someone's finger."
"Sure," Qrow rolled his eyes, "I guess you've seen it all before, huh?"
--------------------------------------------------
The hike to the cave late at night was its own trial. Some Grimm and wildlife in Vacuo don't care for the heat, so they hunt at night. There's even a saying in Vacuo about soft men last longer on cool nights, though the context for the statement may vary between survival advice and inappropriate tavern jokes.
Passing through the cave, Qrow saw a woman in a familiar white cloak on the ground ahead. "Summer!" He ran up to her, kneeling next to the unmoving body. "No, it... It can't be..." At these words, 'Summer' faded away into the shadows. Qrow growled into the darkness. "Trying to make me run?" He chuckled. "Good. Means you're scared."
Once at the grave, Jaune was already there. He was kneeling before the makeshift headstone, a rock painted bright green with a Penny doll sitting above it. The huntsman wept as he mumbled apologies and pleas for Penny and Pyrrha to forgive him. Qrow looked around for any signs of Ruby or Weiss, but only saw Jaune.
Looking at Jaune, Qrow felt something in his chest. Pity? Some form of rapport? After Summer disappeared, Qrow was a lot like Jaune, kneeling in front of the grave of someone you can't help but feel like you played a part in killing. He didn't think he'd have something in common with this guy when they first met, but here they were now.
Footsteps ran up behind him. Qrow turned and saw Weiss and Ruby coming from within the cavern. Better late than never, he guessed. The three looked between each other and shared a nod.
"You girls got a plan?"
"Yup!" Ruby beamed.
"Kind of?" Weiss shrugged.
Neither answer filled him with confidence.
"Jaune!" Ruby ran out to him, distracting the boy enough to look her way. "Jaune, over here!"
"So, what's the plan?" Qrow asked. The answer surprised him.
"He's a lost cause. We have to kill him."
"What- But-"
"Trust me. It's for the best." Weiss answered.
So this was the plan, huh? Make Qrow feel guilty enough for the Zimora to cling to him? It didn't feel right, but Weiss did have a point. Even if it's the death of one, dozens if not hundreds of lives would be saved from attracting more Grimm. So Qrow level Harbinger, hoping this would be some kind of trick Weiss planned that wouldn't actually kill him, but it did... He'd understand.
"KILL HIM NOW!" Weiss screeched as she turned away.
"WHAT?!" Ruby stopped, looking back to Qrow. He squeezed the trigger and Ruby pushed Jaune out of the way, getting shot in his place.
"NO!" Qrow ran out, tripping over himself as he tried to reach out for his niece as she fell from the cliff. "No, no, no, no, no!" Qrow looked over the side, straining to see her in the darkness. "RUBY!"
"Ruby..." Jaune fell to his knees, looking down over the cliff. He dropped his light down the cliff, hoping to find her.
And there she laid, her blood soaking the sands of the Vacuo desert. Qrow began to feel hot tears pouring down his face, his hand futilely reaching for his red-caped protege. Suddenly, the world was deaf all around him as he could only feel pain in his chest. Pain... and guilt.
From behind the two huntsmen, emerging from the shadows, was the Zimora. It stood almost eight feet tall, its humanoid body covered in black all over, save for the white rings acting as tunnels through the monster's head. Its real eyes were the fiery red orbs dotting around the white, all while its long black horns and talons remained as pure dark as the rest of its body.
Plucking its dark digits from Jaune, it began to sink its claws into Qrow, hissing in delight of its new prey. The former victim looked to his side to ask Qrow why he shot his own niece, only to reel in horror at the beast gripping the veteran huntsman. He was about to scream when a gunshot sounded from the cave.
Everyone turned to the familiar sound, finding Ruby Rose, alive and well, standing next to Weiss Schnee and Emerald Sustrai. With a grin, Ruby and the rest of her team, along with Team JNPR, emerged from the cave, all armed and ready to fight. "Gotcha~!" Ruby giggled.
"What..." Then everything started to click. Qrow was completely tricked into thinking he killed his own niece. The guilt would have attracted the Zimora, relieving Jaune of his burden, and the reveal would free Qrow of any guilt he may have. He'd be proud if he wasn't so angry at being tricked. Not as angry, though, at the Grimm he was about to carve up, which writhed in agony as its power waned.
"ATTACK~!" Ruby called, as the Grimm was overwhelmed by the power of Team RWBY and JNPR combined.
--------------------------------------------------
"It's over." Qrow said, looking back to the grave as they left the cave for what he hoped would be the last time.
"Over?" Jaune repeated, carried by Yang and Ren.
"You're free, Jaune." Ruby added, giving a soft smile to her fellow team leader.
"Free?"
"The Zimora's dead, kid. Hopefully it'll be the last one." Jaune didn't say anything in response this time. He was just so tired. It wasn't until they got back to the house that Jaune spoke, left to stand on his own two feet.
"What... What happened..." He put a hand to his head. "My head is spinning..."
"Uncle Qrow, what's going on?" Ruby asked. "I thought we killed the Zumba?"
"Zimora." Weiss corrected. "And yes, I agree. Why is he still... drained?"
"It's fatigue." Qrow answered. "His body just needs time to get back to normal."
"What... What do I do now?"
"My advice?" Qrow offered. "Lay off the self-pity. Grimm or no Grimm, it doesn't do you any good."
"It..." He stumbled, catching himself before anyone else could, though they all tried. "I feel like I'm missing something from inside me."
"That's normal. Zimora's are parasite Grimm. Bonds between parasite and hosts can be strong, and their removal makes you feel empty." Jaune opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. "Give it a few days and you'll be fine."
"Th... Thank you... I think." Jaune stumbled his way to the stairs. "Good night." As he climbed the stairs, Oscar, Ren, and Nora helped him all the way up.
"I should stay with him." Ruby said. "He seems really out of it."
"Good idea, Squirt. Good night."
"G'night, Uncle Qrow. G'night, Weiss." Ruby left Qrow and Weiss alone at the door.
"Well, I can't do much worse here." Qrow shrugged, turning to leave. "G'night."
"Yes, I'm sure my sister is getting impatient with you by now." Weiss teased.
"I thought we already talked enough about that." Qrow groused, making Weiss giggle.
"We did." She nodded. "Good night, Qrow."
Qrow nodded. "So long."

Hello, my name is Dany, I’m a fictive alter who is in the process of source separation and I would like some help with finding an identity outside of my source(GoT) because of the triggering and problematic nature of the show.

Bear in the Big Blue House and Witcher 3…Geralt is commissioned to investigate a haunting noise coming from the big blue house. When he arrives, Bear sniffs him and remarks that today he smells like lilac and gooseberries, or maybe he smells that good all the time. Geralt suspects that the source or the sound may be an apparition, which prompts Bear to summon Shadow. Initially, Geralt suspects that she’s a hym or other malicious spirit, but after she sings him a nursery rhyme he moves on. Ojo asks him to play pretend with her and they have a duel with wooden swords. Tutter has lost a piece of his cheese so Geralt uses his witcher senses to sniff it down and return it. He likewise uses his senses to track down Pip and Pop in a game of hide and seek. When, once again, the noise comes from the house, Geralt sneaks up to the attack where the source of the sound reveals itself to be….Treelo. Case closed.

***Truth revealed*** They were mistaken about the haunting having ended, it seems. This hym won’t get years and years to torment Gaetan though.

Monster Monday: Hym
A post conjunction creature that possesses those with guilty conscience. In the quest Possession, the hym fed on jarl Uldaryk's pain. There are two ways to defeat this demon: tricking it (which leads to Cerys becoming the queen of the isle), or the witchers way.
Which method did you choose?
Also, it took several playthroughs for me to realize Uldaryks shadow is actually the hym!
Pics from my PS4 gameplay with PS enhancements.

Shit. I’m at the scene where I actually have to describe my ghosty monster and I still haven’t entirely figured out what it looks like (or what its powerset is)
it’s ghost-adjacent, but not actually a human ghost, just something incorporeal and nasty
