Mutasim P.O.V

Going off from the information Blaidd and Gowry had for me, I had a destination now. If I could find the designs for the Golden Needle, I could bring it to Gowry and have him make it. And then, all I had to do was find Malenia and convince her to help me cure myself. 

I gathered the medallions I needed, made my way through the blinding snowfield and solved the secret of the town before reaching a portal. Upon passing through it, I found myself on a branch. A giant branch covered with rot that emanated from the giant ruined Haligtree. 

Mutasim: I'm coming for you, Malenia. 

I mutter under my breath, determined to avoid Shabriri's desire. I progress through the Haligtree, fighting rot-infested humanoid figures, demi-humans and a Royal Knight riding atop a horse. With all these foes dead, I continue making my way down until I reached the capital. The world around me now shone brightly, as if untouched by war and deterioration. A low sigh leaves my lips and I walk across a bridge, meeting with a Cleanrot Knight. 

The Knight charges at me, wielding its staff imbued with holy light. Utilising the Frenzied Flame, I set the Knight ablaze, burning them to ashes. With the Knight out of my way, I find myself entering a Church. And a pleasant surprise was there to greet me. 

Millicent: Mutasim? What brings you here? I thought you were going to burn the Erdtree? 

Mutasim: And I will. But before I do, I heard that there is a way to subdue the Frenzied Flame. Once I've acquired it, then I'll burn the Erdtree and use the needle to subdue it. I need the schematics and Malenia's rot. 

Millicent: I... I see. Then it would seem we're both here for the same reason. May I accompany you? 

Mutasim: Yes. Are you ready to move now? 

She nods and arms herself with her sword. 

Millicent: Of course. Lead the way. 

I nod and the two of us make our way through the Haligtree capital. We fought through the soldiers, Erdtree Avatars and more before reaching a strange sight. Four women with red hair stood in front of us, all armed. 

Millicent: What? Who are...?

Mutasim: They look a lot like you. 

Leader: Of course she does. We're her sisters. 

Millicent: I... I have sisters? 

 I have sisters?
