Unknown entity

by Hildegard

I wish I had drawn a picture of him.
 
My best friend is gone and I remember nothing about him. No one seems to remember him. I looked down at myself while testing Cora’s MirRon and realized I didn’t know why I was wearing a flower and metal flake resin bracelet. I didn’t even know who gave it to me.
 
I used Identify on the bracelet and didn’t pick up any magic. I asked around because why would I bother to wear something if it didn’t serve some sort of purpose? No one knew who gave it to me, but they thought I always had it. My Grove classmates told me they didn’t remember me wearing it until this year. So I looked back in my journal and found Cuan.
 
I checked around Tarslemoor for his room and found it close by within the Codex block. It was empty. Maybe he left with Lex? Maybe he died? I wish I could remember.
 
The only memories I have are from my incessant journaling. I wish I had saved my Green Gala sketches. At least I would have had one picture of him, but I tossed them all out before moving to the Ring.
 
I asked Hilde Brew about him when I visited and she said he was a friend and fellow artificer. I asked for more specifics, but she didn’t say much. Just changed the topic by giving me a new book for Velo to read in the future. Some “big nerd brain” book that was beyond her and caused her bard friend, Tim mental damage so much that she needed to use Greater Restoration on him.
 
My best friend Cuan gave me this bracelet. He gave me a safe place and companionship in the Grove. I used to like him and he enjoyed head pats.
 
I want to say that I miss him, but I just feel frustrated that I don’t remember what I miss.
