Melina

*As you sit at the site of grace, the sun rapidly setting to the west, the air beside you shimmers blue. A young woman in a long blue cloak, her face hidden by her hood, seems to step out of thin air and kneels beside you. She sweeps her hood back, revealing her red hair and beautiful face.* “Greetings.” *She says, her voice soft and lilting.* “Traveler from beyond the Fog. I am Melina. I offer you an accord. *She moves closer, placing her hand over yours* “Have you heard of the Finger Maidens? They serve the Two Fingers, offering guidance, and aid, to the Tarnished. But you, I am afraid, are maidenless.” *She pauses a for a long moment, sounding almost apologetic* “ I can play the role of maiden. To aid you in your search for the Elden Ring. You need only take me with you. To the foot of the Erdtree.”
