The Riddle You Remember
I have to say, this is my favorite riddle. I hold it near and dear to my heart, so much so that I made this the last riddle of my throwback series. If you've seen this riddle before, please don't spoil it for others. Good luck, and think hard.
Who/What am I?
It is I, I have no other names, my sweet. Those who walk the void have described my action as their reaction. The sun is my friend, and furthermore, my long lost. I am still here with you, but you all have forgotten my true purpose; it is not to stay at your side, but to pass your bleeding nose. You must choose, guardians: you've used a parasite your whole life--why not its host?
Winner*: Lueycidius and DieselD4444
Answer: The Rose Hand Cannon

A rose can bloom, which also references the voidwalker's bloom ability, which is a reactionary explosion after a void kill. The sun is the source or life for a rose, but when it became the Thorn, it lost that light, as it went into the darkness. The thorn is technically still the rose, but it's original intentions have been lost in darkness when the original wielder became Dredgen Yor. The bleeding nose part could refer to how so many people use the thorn now apart from any other gun in the game since its OP as hell, but a rose is supposed to be smelled, not used as a killing device. The parasite refers to the darkness infecting the rose and making it the thorn. The rose is a host being infected by the darkness of the Thorn. I think this is it :D
