After hearing the loud voice, as if whispering directly into her ear, Melina quickly went alert, ready to attack at any moment.
"Who's there?!" She roared in a mix of anger and surprise.
However, as if ignoring her question, the voice just repeated itself, asking, "Do you want power?"
Melina frantically scanned the entire room, but there was nothing suspicious anywhere. "Where are you? Show yourself!"
However, the mysterious person or thing didn't respond to her again and instead went on to add more words in a coaxing and enticing voice.
[I can give you enough power to fight against the gods. Do you not want it?]

Melina's eyes wavered slightly. She was extremely tempted by the offer, as she had just lamented her lack of power earlier. But still, Melina shook her head powerfully, throwing away the weak thoughts she was having.
