To The New

by Kurigath Clathicul

I've begun to accept that I may not be able to recall most of my past. However... it is not a bitter acceptance. It may have been as such if I gave up early on.
 
Only I do not give up easily.
 
I do still worry about how much turmoil my reappearance may cause though. Sahala did not take it well. I do not hold it against her.
Temerity... I couldn't quite tell. I need to thank her. I did not get a chance to speak with her before we continued our search for Upir. There's only so much that can be conveyed in a letter. I should speak with Sahala again when I see her too.
 
I was not surprised to be referred to as an imposter a third time.
Though I have had more time in Upir's company than Sahala and Temerity so far, while we escort him on the search for Eesa and Shoncodu.
 
Upir is...
 
I am trying to remember.
 
Even the questions he has humored me with answering have not sparked anything in my memory.
 
Though, he's rough around the edges. I have seen past the outward icy spikes he wears, just a few times during our journey to Dustlight, and the moment we could see the town. He has a warm center that is not easily uncovered. I suppose I may see it easier than my friends might, as there is history on his end concerning me.
 
He had said it was good to have me back.
 
The normal response is to say it is good to be back. It would have felt fake to say it, with the lack of truly knowing what I had before. So I said nothing in the moment.
 
I believe, even if I do not regain old memories of him, the new ones will be something to look forward to.
