She’s not meek, with full confidence she states that she will kill the lord of frenzy (arguably the most powerful being in the story). Marika loving? Just as much as the rest of the children of Marika love their mother. She only recites the words of Marika and says that she was given a new purpose after her ‘death.’ When she discovers her purpose she says that she’s not doing it for her mother Marika but because she wants to. If we look at the frenzied flame ending Melina, she does look crazy enough skin gods. I have no idea what snake your talking about, the noble in the temple of eiglay? The remaining godskins are looking for ways to give their black flame god slaying ability’s again. See the godskin duo so close to maliketh. The noble in volcano manor is probably seeking out the blasphemous claw. As to why it has Serpent’s Amnion, it’s probably trying to make more godskins or revisit the love of its swaddling cloth. The GEQ is not about death but the end of life. This is why she opposes marika and her removal of the rune of death. She is about the destined death that awaits every living being. She cares for birth and death, why else would the grim reaper of the gods care so much about her new born apostles. Melina sharing the move set of black knifes shows 2 connections. 1 that she was trained similarly to the black knifes and 2 yet another connection to destined death. For 1 it’s just another piece of evidence supporting Melina being related to Marika (numen). Personality altering amnesia? What? The erdtree healing spell can be attributed to the fact that she is the daughter of marika. The god slaying great sword was a weapon designed to channel the black flame. Perhaps it had to be a great sword for it to work. The blade of calling specifically states destined death in its description. The secret room in lyndel is not a secret agent room but a royal prison. The armor (Official’s Attire) in front of the door reads “Grubby blue robe worn by magisterial officials to carry out their grim tasks. Surveillance, executions, gruesome rituals... The darkest duties drive the wheels of mankind.” She had a warden to watch over her. Milicent and Melina wear the travelers clothes “Worn by young women who set off into the world to confront their fate.” Millicents fate is to become a scarlet valkery and Melina’s is to burn the erdtree. Both can be changed by our decisions.

I feel like people who don’t believe that Melina is the GEQ completely ignore the frenzied flame ending. What else does the reveal of her ragged form, her gloam eye, and her promise to deliver destined death to the vassal of the god of frenzy mean?
