#### After Millicent's visit >[!quote]+ *Oh, you noticed, did you? Indeed, [[Millicent]] did visit [[Gowry's Shack|this hovel of a home]]. It seems the memories eaten away by the [[scarlet rot|rotting sickness]] yet remain, but faintly. However, she has no need of me, any more. No, she must embark on her journey, and stare her fate in the eye. I mustn't impede. As I've aged, I've found the best way to aid the young... Is to be forgotten.* >[!quote]+ *Please make certain that little [[Millicent]] goes unharmed. Like [[Malenia|her mother]], she has the stuff to be a great warrior, but commands only one arm, and is yet preciously young.* >[!quote]+ *Do you...need me for something else?* #### *After giving Millicent the [[Valkyrie's prosthesis]].* >[!quote]+ >*So, you gave [[Millicent]] a [[golden]] arm replacement… This is a wonderful development. Thank you for your kindness. Now Millicent may fully realise her true warrior's potential. Like [[Malenia|her beautiful mother]].* >[!quote]+ *The girl, [[Millicent]]. She is a bud. Green and undeveloped, waiting to flower into magnificence. What a wondrous day that will be. In truth, before her, I'd never seen a bud of such superior quality. She might very well outshine [[scarlet valkyries|her sisters]].* #### After purchasing [[Pest Threads]] >[!quote]+ *Do you have an interest in [[rot incantations]]? Then you might like to learn something of the history... of [[Malenia]], goddess of [[scarlet rot]].* >[!quote]+ *[[Queen Marika the Eternal|Queen Marika]] and her [[Radagon|King Consort Radagon]] were blessed with twin [[demigods]], and [[Malenia]] was one of them. She was born an [[Empyrean]], carrying the [[scarlet rot]]. An Empyrean...is no mere demigod. In the age of [[the Elden Ring]], and Queen Marika, the precious Empyrean was born. A new [[god]] to forge a new [[Order]]. Since Malenia fought [[Radahn]], and the great scarlet flower blossomed in [[Swamp of Aeonia|Aeonia]], I have dedicated myself to her. And to the resplendence of the [[Order of Rot]]. The cycle of decay and [[rebirth]].* #### Details >[!location] [[Gowry's Shack]] >[!questline] >Preceded by: [[Dialogue - Gowry - 2 of 4 - The Needle]] >Followed by: #source #dialogue #gowry #millicent #caelid
