Jagged-edged parchment lays compressed between two pieces of shark hide, bound together by a cord of the same grey hide.

Departure.
It is here, the marc of my departure.
I only told two goodbye, seems fitting.
Kaballoi the Accomplished, someone I do not know well at all. Actually, I would say I do not know her versus barely knowing her. She is the leader of the Vanguard, and hosted a contest, of which I was able to attend. She slipped by me and dropped a small pouch in my pack. As she departed, I caught eye of her, and noticed the pack was slightly ajar. Finding the pouch, quickly, I opened it and within was the most wondrous gift, fitting indeed.
A Fine Fossilized shark tooth - color a deep umber and ridges worn down over time, though still displaying how sharp the tooth was long ago - was strung on a fine black cord.
Of course I wear it now, and will continue to do so. Such a gift is rare, and a person kind enough to give a gift this lovely - even more so. I am not sure why she gave it to me, but I will not complain.
