Flames of Sin

Level	94
Quest Giver	Kate
Briefing	If the Player is not a Female Mage Kate: Adventurer, it's time we move again. The energy that feels like a vice squeezing my chest is spreading from the depths of Harlem to everywhere else in Pandemonium slowly, but surely. The sky that had momentarily retrieved its blue color turned red, and is now covered with black flames. We can't wait any longer. Arthur is waiting for you in the Black Market. Please go meet him. I'll follow you soon. If the Player is a Female Mage Kate: It's time we move again.

I'll follow you soon.
Objectives	Talk to Arthur in the Black Market.
Upon Completion	If the Player is not a Female Mage Arthur: Welcome, Adventurer. I've been waiting. Everything's as Kate told you. The sky started burning darkly, swallowing all the light in Pandemonium. Soon it'll be like before, completely lightless. The other followers and I decided to do something about that, so we tried to go to where the energy was leaking from. Isys's followers who came here following the energy got in our way. We tried to fight, but we weren't a match for them. Niu: Same here. Even us Guardians couldn't stop them. Pai: ...Niu... Why did you leave me behind again? Eek... Arthur: Niu! Pai! Kate: We're only wasting our energy by moving separately. We should join our forces. Arthur: Kate, you came! You're right. Now is the time for us to all join forces. Let our powers combine and stop Isys before he wakes up! Kate: Adventurer, the other Circle Mage summoners and I are here to help you. Niu: Like I said before, I'm going to fight alongside the Guardians. I'm ready. Pai: Adventurer, I'm... I'm ready to fight, too. Arthur: Adventurer, we followers of Prey will fight alongside you, too. If the Player is a Female Mage Arthur: Welcome, Adventurer. I've been waiting. Everything's as Kate told you.

Land of Emptiness

Level	94
Quest Giver	Arthur
Dungeon	Ashen Grave (Dungeon)
Briefing	Arthur: Some of us followers are already fighting on the front lines. Yes, you're right. We were outnumbered, and didn't know what to do. Then, some people came along and helped us. They came from Tayberrs to help Prey. <Player>: (From Tayberrs?) Arthur: Thanks to them, we've managed to push the enemy all the way to Ashen Grave, where Elting Memorial was in the past, but it seems that's as far as we can go on our own. We need your help, Adventurer. Please go to Ashen Grave and help our allies reclaim that place.
Objectives	Help Arthur reclaim Ashen Grave.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the Boss Room: Arthur: Blossom! Alexandra! I'm glad I'm not late. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Hmph, we don't need you. We can do this alone. Why are you underestimating us? Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra, that's not nice. You should thank them for coming to help us. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Blossom, you're too polite for your own good. Well, thanks. Although we could've done this without you. Arthur: Hah hah. Thank you, Blossom. Alexandra. We wouldn't have dared reclaim this place if it weren't for you two.
Upon Completion	Celestial Archer Alexandra: Who's that human behind you? Arthur: Ah, I forgot. This is the adventurer I told you about before. They helped Slenikon vanquish the evil in Tayberrs. Celestial Archer Alexandra: So, you're the human who helped Lupsong. Hm... You look weak. Flower Queen Blossom: So, it was you. I wanted to know who saved Tayberrs, so I could thank them. I'm glad we finally meet. Thank you so much for protecting our home world, Tayberrs. Alexandra, don't you have anything to say? Celestial Archer Alexandra: Mm... Well... Thank you for saving Tayberrs. I'm sorry if I was too harsh on you. Flower Queen Blossom: Please know that Alexandra is rough around the edges, but has a heart of gold. Now that we've introduced ourselves to each other, shall we cut to the chase?

Whereabouts

Level	94
Quest Giver	Flower Queen Blossom
Briefing	Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra and I came here to find Isys's egg and the Verdant Frekses. If left alone, Isys's egg will destroy this place, Pandemonium, as well as our home world, Tayberrs, that's next to it. We must find it as soon as we can, so Prey can re-assimilate it before it hatches. Then, Prey will recover his strength, and peace will be back to Pandemonium and Tayberrs. Also, afterward we'll be able to bring him back to Tayberrs. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Yes! Once Prey's back, Tayberrs will recover its old beauty. Flower Queen Blossom: And for that, we need to find the Verdant Frekses. He was an aide to Prey and also the caretaker of the Ancient Temple of Purification on Tayberrs. When it rained purple on Tayberrs and devastated the land, he traveled here and there, purging its effects with the knowledge he'd acquired while caring for the temple. He should be able to purge Isys's egg and help Prey absorb its power without difficulty. Celestial Archer Alexandra: I'm telling you, we don't need him! He ran away! I saw him flying toward the crack in the sky that night! Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra, you can't be sure about that. He's been suffering from Isys's darkness, just like the rest of us. And the last time I met him, he was just as gentle and bright as always. There's no way he abandoned his duties. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Hmpf, Blossom. You're too kindhearted for your own good. <Player>: (They're just like sisters.) Flower Queen Blossom: Bringing Prey back to our planet has been our long cherished wish. We've waited for a long time to achieve that, and we finally have our chance. We can't lose it, and we need your help, Adventurer. You saved Tayberrs from the Silvery Harbart, who succumbed to Isys's power. Please lend us your power once again.
Objectives	Talk to Flower Queen Blossom in Ashen Grave.
Upon Completion	Flower Queen Blossom: Could you help us? I sincerely thank you for your help. I couldn't ask for a better ally. Celestial Archer Alexandra: We could do it on our own... Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Oh, okay. Thank you for your help. Welcome to the team. Arthur: Adventurer, thank you. I'd be sad to let Prey go back to Tayberrs, but I know how badly he wants that. I'll do everything I can to help him. His happiness is my-I mean, us followers' happiness. I just don't know where to begin... Kate: We know where Ricardo wants to take Isys's egg: the most dangerous part of Harlem, downtown. But he can't have gotten there already. He hasn't fully recovered from his injury, and a lot of people are tracking him down. If I'm right, he has to be hiding in the place in front of us, Nighttime Skyscraper. Celestial Archer Alexandra: And it's filled with Isys's unruly energy. So, we came to the right place. Flower Queen Blossom: But his energy is equally strong everywhere across the place. Homing in on Ricardo would be like finding a four-leaf clover in a cloverfield. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Then, why don't we ask Prey? Let's try that? What do you say? Arthur: Ask... Prey?

Level	94
Quest Giver	Kate
Briefing	If the Player is not a Female Mage Kate: Adventurer, please come back Ashen Grave. Everyone's waiting for you. If the Player is a Female Mage Kate: Come back to Ashen Grave. Everyone's waiting for you.
Objectives	Talk to Kate in Ashen Grave. (After this quest, you can enter the Prey-Isys Raid through the Raid channel.)
Upon Completion	Kate: You're back. Isys's egg finally hatched. Isys has fully recovered his power, and his followers are flocking to Nighttime Skyscraper, attracted to his power. <Player>: By the time we discovered the egg, it already had lost its luster and cracked-wait, could Ricardo and the Kashipa do that? Niu: Not Ricardo. The last time the Guardians on his heels saw him, he already had lost the egg and was running, bleeding from all over. No, they didn't catch him. They said he disappeared all of a sudden. They discovered his hiding place, though. There, they found vines soaked in blood and a pool of blood on the ground. Kate: Vines...? Oh, no... Arthur: Ugh... I-I can explain that. <Player>: Arthur! Kate: You're awake. Try not to move too much. You're not completely healed yet. Arthur: Thank you for saving me, Kate. If you didn't show up at the time you did, I would've-*Shudder* <Player>: What happened? Arthur: It was after the Adventurer left to find the egg. Suddenly, I got knocked out by something awfully strong. When I opened my eyes again, Blossom was on the ground, unconscious. And Alexandra was struggling to get away from Frekses-I mean, Red Leg Arketo. I was half-paralyzed by the pain myself, but I forgot all that when I saw Alexandra suffering. So, I threw myself at him. I wasn't strong enough. His lance came flying at me, and I was on the ground again before I knew it. I... I was too helpless to do anything. It was all I could do to watch Arketo laugh and say that he was going to sacrifice Blossom and Alexandra and bring back Isys. I can't forget the sight of Alexandra being dragged away, bleeding and fighting and screaming Arketo's name all the way. Kate: How did this happen? Frekses must have succumbed to Arketo a long time ago. And if what Arthur saw is correct, Alexandra and Blossom might have lost their powers to Isys and become his puppets already. We shouldn't be here. We must go stop the resurrected Isys before he corrupts more people, turning them into his slaves. Eventually He'll threaten all of Pandemonium. Arthur: I've heard Slenikon will soon leave Tayberrs for Pandemonium. And he's just one of many followers of Prey's who will come. But even with them, we don't stand a chance against Isys. Adventurer, we need you. Please help Prey. Help Pandemonium. Kate: I'm going to go back to Central Park for now. And I'm going to ask everyone in Pandemonium for help. I don't know how many of them will respond to me, but we'll still have more people than we do now. Niu: I'm going to stop following Ricardo and stay here with the Guardians. While Kate is gathering people and the Adventurer is ready to stop Isys, we'll be here, keeping Isys's followers and hangers-on inside Nighttime Skyscraper. Pai: I want to help, too... Kate: Won't you trust us? We're not going to let you shoulder this burden alone. When you're ready, go to Niu. She'll guide you.`
