#simultaneously one of the most despicable and sympathetic and interesting and everything characters all in one

Marika's village, oh my god...

so beautiful and sad. it's this field of flowers, bright and colorful and shining with gold. peaceful and quiet and as you move the birds are leaving, not loud and scared, but gentle and at peace

entering it you find the healing tree spell Melina uses, and then the description kills you.

"Only the kindness of Gold, without the Order." "Marika bathed the village of her home in gold, knowing full well that there was no one to heal."

then the slow walk on the hill, ever covered in flowers, so many flowers. you reach the top, and inside the hollow trunk of a burned old tree, the Grandmother's statue lies, with a strand of Marika's hair left at its feet.

I'm gonna cry
