**INCLUDES CUT CONTENT** >[!quote]+ *Ah...ahh...* >[!quote]+ *Ngh... W-who's there? Well, it matters not. If you are wise, you will leave, immediately. My flesh writhes with [[scarlet rot]]. It is a curse. Not to be meddled with by man.* >[!quote]+ *If you are wise, you will leave, immediately. My flesh writhes with [[scarlet rot]].* >[!quote]+ *You ask that I stab myself with [[Unalloyed Gold Needle#^3e9495| the needle]]... To quell the [[scarlet rot]]? But...how? ... Never mind. I've decided. I would rather trust you, than simply continue to spoil from within.* >[!quote]+ *Would you mind...averting your eyes for a moment? Well. That was easier than expected. But...why do I feel so... ...* >[!quote]+ *I...hoped to see you again. My apologies, for when last we met. I fainted before I could even thank you. Everything is as you said. Since inserting [[Unalloyed Gold Needle#^3e9495| the needle]], the [[scarlet rot]] has ceased to writhe. Even the nightmares have abated... And now, though I can scarcely believe it myself, I can move as I please. Not that I could ever truly repay you, but I would like you to have this, by way of thanks. A token, though it is.* >[!quote]+ *I'm considering leaving. On a journey. With [[Unalloyed Gold Needle#^3e9495| the needle]] buried in my flesh, I've started to recall, but dimly... My [[destiny]]... It's all thanks to you. My name is [[Millicent]]. I pray [[fate]] permits us meet again.* >[!quote]+ *I'm considering leaving. On a journey. With [[Unalloyed Gold Needle#^3e9495| the needle]] buried in my flesh, I've started to recall, but dimly... My [[destiny]]...* >[!quote]+ *Oh, hello again. Something about this place felt familiar to me. So I decided to pay a visit, hoping to find someone here. But I've only found emptiness. Perhaps before my departure, I needed someone to say farewell to.* >[!quote]+ *Well, never mind that. I must focus on my journey, for which I have you to thank. I must stay strong.* >[!quote]+ *Ah. We meet again. In truth, it's been smooth sailing, for me. The [[scarlet rot]] has stilled, since last we met. As such, I've been able to continue my journey. Though rather vexingly, I realise that if I still had my sword arm, I could have aided you in battle.* >[!quote]+ *Now, I'm tracing the path [[Malenia]] took, after unleashing the power of the [[scarlet rot]], during her battle with [[Radahn|General Radahn]], in the [[Caelid|Caelid Wilds]]. I should like to meet her, this vanished woman. I think she's in the north. In the lands that lie beyond [[Erdtree|the Erdtree]].* >[!quote]+ *Are you... Giving me [[Valkyrie's Prosthesis|this arm]]? I thank you. I am in your debt, yet again. I think, If the arm serves well enough, It might be possible for me to wield a sword again.* >[!quote]+ *If [[Valkyrie's Prosthesis|the arm]] serves well enough, It might be possible for me to wield a sword again. Perhaps, then, I can aid you in battle.* >[!quote]+ *Now, I'm tracing the path [[Malenia]] took. She's passed into to the lands that lie beyond [[Erdtree|the Erdtree]].* >[!quote]+ *[[Valkyrie's Prosthesis|The arm]] you gave me truly is a thing of wonder. It feels just like my own, even handling a sword. Perhaps it is foolish to say this to you of all people, but I am sure of my skill with the sword. Thus, I would have you call upon me in battle again, should you ever have the need.* >[!quote]+ *Ah, we meet yet again. [[Valkyrie's Prosthesis|The arm]] you gave me truly is a thing of wonder.

It is the only way that I can express my thanks.* >[!quote]+ *To think we'd meet in such a place... What could your purpose possibly... No, I know well enough who you are, and what I know is good enough for me. Call upon me again in battle, should you have the need.* >[!quote]+ *I'm searching for a fort to the west of the ruins. I'm searching for a fort to the north of the ruins. I heard the master of the fort was given a medallion that allowed him to visit [[Haligtree|the Haligtree]]. Indeed, I believe that is where [[Malenia]] will be found. The Haligtree is hidden somewhere in these Northern lands.* >[!quote]+ *I'm searching for a fort to the west of the ruins. I'm searching for a fort to the north of the ruins. I heard the master of the fort was given a medallion that allowed him to visit the [[Haligtree]].* >[!quote]+ *Again we meet. I can only surmise our purposes are aligned. In which case, allow me to explain myself. I am of [[Malenia|Malenia's]] blood. But in what capacity I know not. I could be sister, daughter, or an offshoot… Whatever the case though, I am certain of a kinship between us.* >[!quote]+ *There is something I must return to [[Malenia]]. The will that was once her own. The dignity, the sense of self, that allowed her to resist the call of the [[scarlet rot]]. The pride she abandoned, to meet [[Radahn|Radahn's]] measure.* >[!quote]+ *There is something I must return to [[Malenia]]. The will that was once her own. The dignity, the sense of self, that allowed her to resist the call of the [[scarlet rot]].* >[!quote]+ *Oh, hello. Thank you for lending your hand. Without your help, I could not have defeated that quartet. I feel as if I've been in your debt from beginning to end. Thank you. With your help, I was able to live as my own person, if only in passing.* >[!quote]+ *But this is where things end. I pause to even tell you, but... I took out [[Unalloyed Gold Needle#^3e9495| the needle]] myself. Tell whoever put you up to this. That if I am to flower into something other than myself, I would rather rot into nothingness as I am.* >[!quote]+ *Please, let me pass alone. The [[scarlet rot]] writhes now, worse than ever. Soon, I won't be more than a mound of flesh. [[curse|Curse-laden]]. Untouchable. I wouldn't want such a thing to bring you harm.* >[!quote]+ *Ugh.* >[!quote]+ *Is there something wrong? Please, cease this at once.* >[!quote]+ *Why are you doing this? Now you've forced my hand.* >[!quote]+ *I will not forget what you did for me. But this day marks our farewell.* >[!quote]+ *I did not imagine it ending like this. But I will not forget what you have done. Thank...you...* >[!quote]+ *Ahh, how could you... Is this your true heart? Was I... was it all...for this?* #source #dialogue #millicent
