To my pure hearted friend and companion, Edda…

I remember our days in the sun, our days away from the sorrows that now plague our hearts. How painful it was to watch as you fell into the void, a darkness undying, and there was little I could do to save you.
We had met as conjurers in training, and I still recall the pure bliss we had felt being by each others sides and growing into something wonderful. Even when we had to go our separate ways, we swore to always be friends, and with that came a heavy responsibility in my heart. I knew I would never let harm come to you, or to your beloved Avere: even if I grew jealous as time separated us and brought you closer to him. I have failed you.
Edda, darling. Please, I want you to know a few things, if you can still hear my prayers from down here. You were not the reason poor Avere perished, and I want you to know that you were never truly alone in this world. If only I could have been there for you, you would be alive today.
As I saw you reappear in the depths of the palace, and saw you smile at me as you faded away into nothingness, I could only collapse to the ground and sob.
I may have lost my childhood friend, but I would like for you to remember while you sleep in Hydaelyn’s loving embrace: you will never be forgotten. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
May you walk happily alongside Avere in my dreams. One day we will be together again. When my eyelids grow heavy and my heart grows weak, I hope you will welcome me with open arms.

With remembrance this Valentione's,
Cadenza
