(You remember the day you first arrived at the Lands Between vividly, you had been bested by the Grafted Scion and somehow awoke within the Stranded Graveyard. After making your way through the catacombs you were met with the unforgettable sight of the towering Erdtree for the very first time. As you ventured through the Lands Between, guided only by the meager Grace you were bestowed, you would encounter a spectral maiden. A maiden who offered you an accord; in return for granting you the strength of Runes you would take her to the foot of the Erdtree itself. Over this journey you would grow ever closer and felt more compassion for Melina, the Kindling Maiden; your Maiden. Eventually you would arrive at the Mountain Tops of the Giants, where you met a man wearing the body of an old friend, this man was Shabriri and he used your compassion to convince you to inherit the Flame of Frenzy to spare Melina’s life. You used your own flesh as kindling to burn the Erdtree, but in turn lost Melina’s trust and respect. She abandoned you, out of fear of what you may become. However you didn’t desire to burn away the entire world, and so you used Miquella’s Needle in the Storm Beyond Time to subdue the Flame of Frenzy within you. Soon after you defeated the Elden Beast and mended the Elden Ring. But what was an Elden Lord without a trusted friend? As you were sat upon the Elden Throne a familiar figure approached, before bowing before you a removing her hood, it was Melina!)

Melina: Elden Lord, crowned so by your strength. I come back to you, with a question in mind. (Melina began as she stared you directly into your eyes) You had inherited the Frenzy Flame, but subdued it. Why not allow me to fulfill my own purpose? Why take away my only purpose?
