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

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? The rose. The Rose used to be the Thorn. The Rose was made out of light, so it would be it's "friend". Light is also the sun, a representation of the Light. Since the Rose is now corrupted and is the Thorn, it is no longer friends with light, and is instead a long lost friend. The Rose is still with us, but we now use it as a personal weapon, when it used to be a representation of peace. Hence, we have forgotten it's true purpose. To pass your bleeding nose I guess is supposed to mean that is was used to represent peace, not interfere with troubles, while the Thorn is at our side, helping us fight our battles. The final bit somewhat confuses me. You have used a parasite your whole life, why not its host.... I can only imagine that the parasite refers to Thorn, which most of us have used since they first got it, and is technically a parasite since it sucked the Light out of Rose. The Host in that case would be Rose, since it was drained by the Thorn, makes it the host. But the rule is I have to guess right, not explain right lol
