My big Theory about Melina is that she is the Gloam Eyed Queen who was another Empyrean that Maliketh is supposed to have killed on behalf of Marika. I think her mind was erased and reconstructed to be Melina. As a fail safe in case the Tarnished became a Lord of Frenzied Flame her memories would be restored and she would regain her Empyrean status and have the ability to give destined death to that Tarnished. So she might even have a fragment of the rune of death and could come close to killing us, or even succeed
That’s a super interesting take, especially considering how confident she sounds in delivering destined death to us at the end of the Frenzied Flame ending. I haven’t really looked into the Gloam Eyed Queen lore so that’s super cool to think about
Vyke is my favorite npc, he was us before we even step foot in the lands between. We could have gotten a 3rd elden lord.
