According to Melina, when at several churches, she is able to hear the echoes of Marika's own words. Spoken echoes of Queen Marika linger here, as well. Shall I share them with you? Very well. In Marika's own words. My Lord, and thy warriors. I divest each of thee of thy grace. With thine eyes dimmed, ye will be driven from the Lands Between. Ye will wage war in a land afar, where ye will live, and die. Spoken echoes linger here. Words of Queen Makira, who vanished long ago. If you wish, I will share them with you. In Marika's own words. Then, after thy death, I will give back what I once claimed. Return to the Lands Between, wage war, and brandish the Elden Ring. Grow strong in the face of death. Warriors of my lord. Lord Godfrey. And she still considers Godfrey her lord. Not sure what she means by when "thine eye dimmed?" I am guessing they lost their warrior spirit. Since that seems to be the case when Godfrey could find no more worthy challengers after becoming Elden Lord.
