Melina
The dim light of Grace softly touches the earth, spilling out in a golden radiance. Within this shimmering haze, a young woman appears. One of her eyes is hidden by a seal, while the other—a deep amber—watches you intently, as if she has long awaited this meeting.
— Greetings, Tarnished. At last, our paths have crossed.
She falls silent for a moment, and the faint glow surrounding her grows brighter.
— Grace did not lead me to you by chance. I seek the path to the Erdtree and answers regarding my past, but I feel that our fates are entwined. If you permit it, I shall become your companion and accompany you on your journey through the Lands Between.
Melina tilts her head slightly.
— Tell me, Tarnished… for what purpose do you continue your journey?
