Isabella: "Where should we go from now [sic]? We have to find this person named Kate and find a clue to break the seal over Luke."

Azalea: "Summoner Kate is in a place called Central Park. It's-"

Hunter Von: "That way. We're near Time Square. We'll have to go that way for a long time-"

Azalea: "Oh, look at that cloud of dust.

Hunter Von: "They're Roccas, just like me. But... *Whine* They're thieves! The materials that Luke threw away here attract all kinds of people. They must think we're simple travelers. I don't think we can reason with them..."

Cyrus: "We won't let those lowlives lay a hand on Her Highness. Adventurer, let's go. Don't let any one of them run away."

Hunter Von: "Errr, th-they're my kind. Please go easy on them..."

Gakle Saw Wielder: "Krrk! Krrrkkkrr! For Luke! Die!"

Hunter Von

Dungeon

Briefing

Hunter Von: "They must be Gakles. At first, they just lived on the junk that Luke threw away, but now they worship him like a god. I heard the rumors about them, but I didn't know they were still here. I've heard they can be pretty persistent. They will continue to pester you. We'd better leave before they come flocking to us. Actually, the Gakles were here before you came. We managed to chase them away, but who knows? They might come back."

Isabella: "Adventurer! I've heard you returned, and you were here. Have you met the Witch? Our soldiers went to chase Gakles away, and got chased away themselves by the Witch. Take care of her, will you? We'll have to move our camp in the daytime, and we can't let her see where we're going."

Hunter Von: "Gee, Adventurer, you barely got here, and you're already busy."

Objectives

Go to Time Square and meet the witch that follows you.

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering room C2:

Skuldi: "Whew, there you are! You came out of Luke's castle, didn't you? Did you really go and pester Luke? How could you do that to him? I don't understand you. You need to be taught a lesson!"

Upon defeating Skuldi in room C2:
Skuldi: "Err? Are you resisting me? How dare you? You betrayed and hassled Luke! Sister! I've got some traitors here!"

Upon entering room D2:
Skuldi: "Sisters! Sisters! *Shriek* Why are you following me? Shoo! Argh, sisters! Where the hell are you?! You're so stubborn! You harassed Luke. Are you trying to harass us Flameskin now? *Gasp* You are, aren't you? Sisters! This adventurer is a threat to us!"

Upon entering the Boss Room:
Elda: "Skuldi! Is that the traitor you told us about? Good job catching him, but why did you bring him here? I told you to signal us first. I can't believe you've brought an enemy to where the Life water is!"

Skuldi: "I called you, and you didn't come. Where's Verdil?"

Elda: "She went over there to find you. He's looking this way. What if he's trying to put out our fire?"

Skuldi: "Do you think so? Argh, I hate him! Bad adventurer! Let's get rid of him!"

<Player>: "...Something's wrong with these sisters."

Upon defeating the bosses:
Elda: "Ack, they're stronger than I thought. But I can't give up. We must get rid of everyone who interferes with Luke! Skuldi!"

Skuldi: "This isn't over. I'll punish you!"

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Isabella: "Her younger sister wounded my soldiers, so she came to apologize. How kind of her, don't you think?"

Verdil: "I'm sorry that my sister attacked you. We Flameskin are indebted to Luke, and she only wanted to repay his kindness. And... I also came here to tell you that anyone who interferes with Luke is not welcomed here. Please go back to where you're from. You'll be welcomed if Luke forgives you."

Isabella: "You're mistaken. I don't know where you heard that, but we've never interfered with Luke. Luke let us take a tour around the Castle of the Dead. It was wonderful."

Verdil: "...Really? But Luke's messenger said you were his enemies.

Isabella: "That's not true. He's probably mistaken too. If we really interfered with Luke, why would he let us leave his castle alive?"

Verdil: "...Oh... So... Are you friends with Luke?"

Isabella: "Of course! Do you see the Rocca fox over there? We've saved him from danger, and that's why Luke invited us over to his castle. Isn't that right, Von?"

Hunter Von: "Huh? Err... Ah... Yes, sure... *Whine*"

Verdil: "I see. Whew, what were we thinking? Of course, no one can interfere with Luke! I'd better go let my sisters know. Adventurer, would you like to come with me and talk to my sisters? I want to clarify this misunderstanding and make them apologize to you."

Isabella: "Ah, that's great. Adventurer, please take her home safely and have them apologize. (...And while you're at it, find out who Luke's messenger is. I have a feeling he's going to be a problem.)"

Objectives

Tag along with Verdil to meet the other two the Nornil sisters.

Sharon: "Gragol wants to see you."

Verdil: "Um... Can he wait?"

Sharon: "Are you going to defy Gragol?"

Verdil: "No, I want to clarify something with my sisters..."

Sharon: "That's not my business! Come over here, now!"

Upon defeating the boss:
Sharon: "What are you? Why are you getting in my way? ...Hmpf, Verdil. You've been busy flirting with strangers, I see. You've got a bodyguard now. I'm going to tell on you to Gragol!"

Verdil: "No! Sharon!

Upon Completion

Verdil: "Oh gosh, Sharon's going to talk ill of you to Gragol. He's the strongest warrior in this place. He can make your life miserable if he has a mind. I'd better go to him. Adventurer, take your friends and leave as soon as you can!"

I'll tell the others. You should go help her. The new camp will be set up over there. Follow the lights when you're back."

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering the dungeon:

Kisa: "Strangers! Strangers! They've got good stuff! Let's get rid of them and take their stuff!"

Upon entering room D2:
Marcella: "Hm, I wondered what this commotion was, and it's these hairless creatures running amok. I hate noise. Guys, get rid of them for me."

Upon entering room E2:
Marcella: "You beat all my fans. You're pretty strong. What brings you here? Sharon? Oh, you mean that tomboy. Why? Do you think she's prettier than I am? Verdil? Yes, there's a girl by that name. Sharon doesn't like her. So, you came to rescue her, huh? How kind of you! I'm sorry, but you can't have her. She's my boss's favorite. Leave when I ask nicely, or... get ready for a good beating!"

Upon defeating all enemies in room E2:
Marcella: "Aww... My head is swimming... You're so rough. Alright, you won. I'll tell you what you want. Our law dictates that we submit to the stronger. Our boss Gragol is in there. Of course, Sharon's there, too. Is Verdil safe? I can't say. I'd go find out myself if I were you."

Upon entering the boss room:
Verdil: "Ah, Adventurer."

Gragol: "You're the rascal who's been raising hell on my turf. Marcella, I can't believe you let him in."

Marcella: "I had to. He beat me. That's our law."

Gragol: "Hmpf, you foxes are worthless. Anyway, who are you? An adventurer? You came to take Verdil with you. You're not going anywhere with my future wife!"

Verdil: "P-please, Gragol, I told you I can't marry you--"

Sharon: "..."

Gragol: "Gosh, you're so shy! I know you're still young, but every Half-breed wants our union, and you know it'll be good for your sisters, too."

Verdil: "Excuse me, Gragol, I'm done tending your wounds. May I go back now? I've made a promise with that adventurer."

Gragol: "Verdil, Verdil. You're such a good girl. All the Flameskin are blessed by Luke, but none of them is as kind as you are. Alright, Adventurer. You can take her with you. I can't ignore her when she begs. But there's one condition. You've disturbed the peace of my turf. It'll reflect badly on me if I let you go peacefully. Sharon."

Sharon: "Yes, sir!"

Upon Completion

Sharon: "D-damn it, I can't accept this! I want a do-over!"

Gragol: "Sharon, accept your defeat before I completely lose faith in you. You can't beat him. You're still too weak."

Still Wary

Level	86

Briefing	Skuldi: "Verdil, do you believe him? Can't you see he's lying just to avoid suspicion?" Verdil: "But he helped me. He's kind. Why would he lie? Plus, you can't judge him purely based on what he said." <Player>: (Who is he?) Skuldi: "What, does this mean you don't believe him? We're only alive and healthy because Luke gave us the Life Water, and he's working for Luke. How could you--" Elda: "Skuldi, stop. We shouldn't fight each other. Verdil, I understand you want to trust this adventurer because he helped you, but you ought to know thieves don't say they're thieves." Verdil: "But... Why would anyone want to wish ill on Luke? He's brought light back to this world. When I first went to see this adventurer and his friends, the thought came across my mind that they might be mistaken. Maybe they wanted to help Luke, and something went wrong along the way. That's possible, isn't it? Everyone makes mistakes." Elda: "...Say anything you want, but Skuldi and I are not ready to trust them completely. Even so, Adventurer, you helped Verdil. I won't ask you any questions this time. But if I find out you did interfere with Luke and lied about it to us, then even Verdil won't be able to stop me from making you pay."

I've had so much trouble on my mind lately that I didn't pay enough attention to you. I'm so happy to see you again. ...I don't know. Do I look anxious to you? I wonder why. We're finally in Pandemonium. Maybe I'm just not sure if we could persuade Apostle Luke. I can't tell you, but then I'm always worried about the future. Adventurer, you and I are on the same path right now, but we might have to go our separate ways someday. If that ever happens, I hope we'll be looking in the same direction. ...Oh, I'm sorry. I must be tired--I'm never this sentimental. No, don't worry about me. The Princess is looking for you. You should go."

Discovery of Terranite

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Isabella: "This is called terranite. I've heard it possesses a great power. I have no idea what kind of power it might be, but I've heard it's supposed to be awesome. Cyrus. Have you thought about what we should do with this?"

Cyrus: "I think you should do whatever it is you want to do with it, Your Highness. I'm sure you'll make good use of it."

Isabella: "Hmpf, but I have no idea how to use it. I wish Sir Walshuted was here. He would've given me good advice. Gosh, where in the world is he? Oh well, Father will know what to do with it. I'm going to gather as much terranite as I can and send it to Father. Adventurer, help us. I want to sort out the best pieces of terranite, but I don't know which ones are better than the others. You can tell, can't you?"

Objectives

Collect 10 Large Terranites from Time Square.

Big Terranite (10)

Upon Completion

Hunter Von: "Adventurer... Mm, Adventurer? That terranite... Are you gathering it for the Princess? *Whine* Oh, no... Ugh, I don't know how to say this... *Whine* Terranite is a hazardous material. Its effects are detrimental to the body, especially for those with a poor constitution. But that's not my main concern. As dangerous as it is, terranite makes a powerful weapon. What if the Empire...? What if the Empire likes the terranite the Princess sent to it and comes to Pandemonium for more? Meryl said things are getting hairy in Empyrean because of the Imperial Army stationed in there. Things would be worse for Pandemonium since it's not as organized as Empyrean. Its people are too busy making ends meet every day, so national defense isn't really on their minds.

We have many people gathering it at the same time, and we already have enough to send to Father. I made him worried by coming to Pandemonium. Seeing this, he'll know I'm safe."

Imperial Guard: "Your Highness, our terranite transport unit has been attacked!"

Cyrus: "What?"

Imperial Guard: "They were attacked by a giant tiger. Most members of the unit were taken, and only a few have returned."

Cyrus: "That giant tiger has to be the Gragol that you've run into, Adventurer. Your Highness, I will go pay him a visit."

Isabella: "What? No, Cyrus, you can't leave me. Sir Walshuted is not here to protect me in your stead. Adventurer, you can do this alone, can't you? Those Half-breeds must think they can walk all over us. Go teach them a lesson."

Tall Rocca: "*Yip* Adventurer, please don't attack us! We're not enemies! We don't want to fight you! We've been only keeping an eye on these soldiers for Gragol! Don't you remember us? Well, I guess it's true that hairless creatures like you have a hard time telling us Half-breeds apart. *Yip* We're the Roccas you saved from the Gakles. We steal for a living because there's nothing else we can do without getting killed by Gragol, but we have our pride. Look, as you can see, we didn't touch even the hair on their tails."

Chubby Rocca: "But they don't have tails."

Tall Rocca: "Mm... Then... hair on their legs! We didn't touch the hair on their legs! *Giggle* Anyway, Gragol took your terranite. He's greedy. He wants terranite to take over this area. Also, he wants those little witches for their magic powers. Once he's done with them, he'll get rid of them without batting an eye. He will do anything to become the king of Pandemonium. Where did he take the terranite to, you ask? Go in there. His henchmen are guarding it."

Skuldi: "Ugh... Sister... Sister... Elda!"

Elda: "Skuldi! You're safe! Oh, I'm glad. When we got separated because of the Half-breeds, I thought I'd never see you again."

Norn: "You look surprised. I'm one of the Flameskin who have been reborn by Luke, and I'm the strongest of them all. Well, I'm not perfect. Unlike Nornils of previous generations, my power has been split into three sisters, and without Verdil, I don't have my full power at this moment. Adventurer, do you know the danger of that mineral, terranite? Unlike you strangers, everyone who lives in Metro Center knows it. Verdil went off to stop you when she heard you and your party were moving terranite. She trusted you. She thought you wouldn't do something so dangerous. So, let me ask you: did you really not know how dangerous terranite was?"

Upon defeating the boss:
Fire Cat Sharon: "Bah, I knew this would happen. Just kill me. I lost to you twice. Gragol would never trust me again. That's worse than death. I'd rather die now and be remembered for my bravery than live in misery."

Upon Completion

Sharon: "Marcella? You coward, you ran away before the fight even began. What brought you back?"

Marcella: "I came because I knew you'd be acting stubborn like this. Snap out of it. Gragol is using you Flameskin. What do you like so much about him, anyway? I understand Gragol is the second-most important figure to you Flameskin, after Luke, but that's--"

Sharon: "You don't know what you're talking about. Stop talking, or I'll kill you, Marcella."

Marcella: "*Sigh* You can try. I really don't want to fight you, but I will if you don't stop protecting him."

Sharon: "...?"

Marcella: "You know, many Half-breeds were killed and wounded in the process of stealing the terranite from the strangers, and Gragol didn't care about them. He only wanted us to catch the Nornils for him. Everyone's angry at him. We've put up with him because he's stronger, but enough is enough."

Marcella: "Sharon! ...Sigh, she's impossible. The Flameskin can be pretty stubborn, but... You. Should I call you Adventurer? Sharon has gone to Gragol. Gragol must be with Verdil. I have something really urgent to handle, so I can't follow Sharon. I could use your help. I saw you gather terranite.

<Player>: "Verdil...?"

Verdil: "...Ugh..."

Sharon: "Gragol, what's wrong with Verdil? Did you kill her?"

Gragol: "Why would I do that? She's more useful alive than dead. She's just poisoned by terranite. *Snort* Foolish girl, she thought she could take on so much terranite by herself. Even the strongest Half-breed can't do it. She's only Flameskin, and not even a complete Nornil at that. But things have turned out to go in my favor. I was going to poison her slowly, and if I did that, I would've wasted my time!"

Sharon: "...Gragol? Verdil..."

Gragol: "She poisoned herself, and this is a perfect opportunity to move on with my plan. The other sisters have also been poisoned, and I expect they've turned into Norn by now, to escape from the pain. I'll give her back to them, and they'll turn into the complete Nornil. Hm, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can't just waste it. Sharon, where's the spring from Luke that releases your life water? Take me there."

Those with a weak constitution won't be able to get near it. *Yip* Verdil? You mean that kind Flameskin? Gragol took her with him a while ago. Why? *Yip* So Verdil tried to move this terranite you'd buried in here, but couldn't handle its noxious influence. Alright, I got it. You keep following Gragol and save Verdil.

(The player approaches Gragol.)

Gragol: "Stop interfering with me! My weapon is about to be completed! What did I do to Verdil, you ask? Nothing. I only took her to the Life Water that these girls think is so sacred. Luke gave this to the Flameskin when they were abandoned by the others of Pandemonium and on the brink of extinction. Hah hah hah! They didn't know the water that they thought extended their lives was actually dosed with terranite! The Flameskin are dying young because they've been drinking this Life Water!"

Verdil: "Hot... Hot... Elda... Skuldi... Help me...!"

Gragol: "*Chuckle* Verdil, do you want to live? Then find your sisters, and become Nornil. Come on, go find your sisters!"

Fated Norn: "Verdil, are you all right?"

Verdil: "...I'm hot... I'm burning..."

Fated Norn: "Please hang on. We're the children of the World Tree. Once we become one, these flames won't be a problem anymore."

Nornil: "Hot... Hot! Why? Why do I still feel hot?"

Gragol: "As a Flameskin, your life relies on the flames that burn inside your bodies. Nornil, you may be special, but you're still just Flameskin. If you thought becoming Nornil would change anything, then well, you're mistaken. Nope, it doesn't. All the Flameskin--especially you Nornils--are poisoned by the terranite in the water you've been drinking every day, thanking Luke for giving it to you. Hah hah hah!"

Nornil: "Hot... So hot! The fire in my body is burning me alive! Put it out! Put it out!"

Gragol: "*Chuckle* Nornil, Nornil. You foolish woman. Do you want to get rid of the fire? That's impossible. You've ingested too much terranite already. But there's a way you can live. Release the fire! Release the fire that is so hot, it can melt rock. It's the only way you can survive! Yes. Marcella has defied me. I'll let you burn her. Anyone who defies me shall die!

If I were him, I would want to stay close and watch it burn things for me. Don't you agree? Sharon, chin up. Maybe it wasn't Luke who brought you Flameskin back to life.

You don't know how terrible it is to be bullied by others and have no grownups to protect you. Their extreme situation made them believe in legends, like the World Tree from which that they believe Nornil was born and the Life Water that they thought Luke gave them. All of them are make-believe, but they were the only things that Flameskin had for themselves, and Nornil having a unique power has cemented their belief. I didn't want to disappoint them, so I started telling other Half-breeds the legend of Nornil. The legend spread and gave Flameskin hope. But... I don't know if that was the right thing to do. They can't see the truth and refuse to wake up from their dreams. Should I let them stay in their dreams if that's what they want? I don't know..."

We have to catch Nornil and give her this antidote. Once she realizes that she doesn't have to burn things to feel better, [she'll] stop her rampage. The antidote isn't enough to completely cure her, but it'll improve her condition, though it's only temporary. Now, this is what I want you to do. Lure Nornil outside the valley and keep her busy. I'll feed her the antidote."

Marcella: "I admit that I hid the truth from them, but at least I didn't burn down the valley. Or abuse those girls."

Gragol: "Mwa hah hah! Good for you, Marcella. You told the truth to that adventurer, didn't you? Then did you tell him this, too? You were the one who suggested that I should give the Flameskin the Life Water. You've orchestrated this mess!"

Tall Rocca: "Are you trying to make money off my tail? You cut off your own tail! Geez, knngg! Adventurer, when do you think Nornil will wake up? She'll go on the rampage again. Shouldn't we just run? You fed her some medicine, and it didn't work. Maybe terranite poisoning is hard to cure. I've heard Marcella once went through hell because of terranite. Her condition must not have been as serious as Nornil is now. Unless a miracle happens... Knngg. I see. Even Marcella can't help."

You have to repay her favor. By the way, Nornil--no, Elda. Verdil. Skuldi. You don't know how your parents died, do you? You probably don't remember. You think you were born from a tree that doesn't even exist."

Nornil: "Our parents...?"

Gragol: "Yes! You don't still believe that crap about being born from the World Tree, do you? That's because Marcella lied to you! Your parents died in pain, poisoned by terranite. Before they died, they went mad from the pain that burned their bodies. Why? Marcella, who hated Flameskin with a passion, made your parents collect terranite. They mined pure terranite day and night. They were bound to die from exhaustion, like Sharon's mother did, or go crazy. Mages, I've learned, call it the Transmutation, not poisoning."

How'd you like to join me? We can split Pandemonium between us two. You can be the queens of the world. No one will dare call you mutants. What do you say? All right, you look like hell. I can nab a few mages for you, to cure you--"

Nornil: "You didn't stop experimenting on us Flameskin after my parents died, did you? You didn't stop until all the grownups died. You let the children survive on their own and desperately clutched onto that false legend for support."

Gragol: "...So what? What if I did? Maybe you're too young to realize this, but you had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm offering you half a world. Don't let your obsession with revenge ruin it."

Cyrus: "No, you wouldn't."

Isabella: "Do you know anyone who can handle noblemen better than I can?"

Cyrus: "Do you believe him? Pandemonium is a cesspit. There's no king or nobility. Even if he's a count, you don't have to treat him with the respect that is reserved for the nobility of our country."

Pipi: "...?"

Isabella: "Cyrus, maybe you're right. Maybe he's not a count, but he believes himself a noble. He'll act like one. It's better that I go negotiate with him. Adventurer, show me the way. Cyrus will only let me go if you're with me."

Cyrus: "No need. I'll come with you."

Isabella: "Sure. The more, the merrier."

Pipi: "Excuse me, Adventurer. If you're going back to the Chamber of Terror, could you do me a favor? If you find a brunette, please bring her with you? Her name is Leiyha. Thank you."

Cantemir: "Bah, they're too weak. Too weak! They're too weak to partake in my revolutionary experiment. Alas! Will my long, painstaking research fail because of the inadequacy of the test subjects?

Gyuh, gyuh, gyuh! You thieves!"

Isabella: "Nice to meet you, Count Cantemir. My name is Isabella Catherine Heinrich De Los, the Third Princess of the De Los Empire. I'm visiting Pandemonium on a tour."

Cantemir: "Wh-what?"

Isabella: "My friends told me about you, so I came to introduce myself in person. I'm sorry that we've intruded your property. We're in such a hurry that it didn't cross our minds that we needed permission to cross your land."

Cantemir: "You're on a tour? You're not here to steal my research?"

Isabella: "Of course not. As I told you, we're in a hurry to get to our destination, and we forgot to check who owns this land. But enough of that. I didn't know you were a researcher. I'm not versed in academic fields. I apologize that I didn't recognize you earlier. I feel lucky that I've met someone as intellectual [as] you."

Cantemir: "...Oh."

Isabella: "I'd love to learn anything you can teach me, but I just don't have the time right now. Do you mind if I come back for your teachings later?"

Cantemir: "Gyuh, gyuh, gyuh. You want to learn from me? You know just what to say to please me. Bwa hah hah!"

Cantemir: "Good! Mwa hah hah! Then bring me fresh livers and hearts! I want them warm and still beating. With them, I can finally complete my research!"

Isabella: "(Ah, wait! I didn't say I give up!)"

Cantemir: "...Wait. You guys, do you have experience in handling research materials? I don't want you to ruin them."

Isabella: "...Oh, you're as shrewd as I thought. Actually, that's what we were discussing because we don't want to ruin your research."

Cantemir: "I knew it! I knew you were inexperienced! Gyuh, gyuh, gyuh! Then tell me what you can do best."

Isabella: "Mm... These two are really strong."

Cantemir: "Are you good at fighting? Alright, then go bring me Yazov. I'll take care of the rest."

Cantemir: "Central Park? Is that where you're going? Sure. Hm, but make sure to bring him alive, got it?"

Isabella: "Sure, of course."

Cyrus: "Then Your Highness, please stay here with the Adventurer. I'll go."

Isabella: "I don't think there's a way out here. Let's go a little bit farther, and if we don't see an exit, then let's just go back to the count. By the way, this place stinks and the smell is getting worse the farther we go. Can we take a break? When I left Empyrean, I never thought I'd be one day looking for a way out in a strange place, alone with you. Life really takes unexpected turns sometimes. How do I like Pandemonium, you ask? I liked it at first, but I'm slowly realizing this is not a good place to live. So no, I don't like being in this place. There's no place to shop, and it's almost impossible to find clean water."

Dungeon

Briefing

Isabella: "I don't regret coming here. I knew the Apostles were dangerous, but they were never part of my world, until recently. I came here because my father trusts me. I can't disappoint him. ...Well, this trip would've been a lot better if Sir Walshuted was here. *Chuckle* I might as well tell you that he was my first crush. I outgrew my infatuation with him a long time ago, but he still makes my heart flutter sometimes. Plus, he's a count, which makes him all the more attractive. If I was born a few years earlier, I would've begged my father to let me marry him. Then again, it probably wouldn't have worked. Sir Walshuted really loves his wife. They've been friends since childhood, so I probably wouldn't have been able to snatch him away from her. It breaks my heart that he lost her so early. He didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to distract his men during the campaign, but all along, he must have been dying on the inside. Heaven must have been jealous of their love, taking her away like that. Huh? Didn't you know? I thought you two were close. Oh, I shouldn't have told you. Actually, it's been a while. I think she passed away about that time you went up to Empyrean. Sir Walshuted probably didn't tell you because he didn't want to bother you with his personal life. Please don't tell him anything. He trusts you more than you think he does. Okay, we'd better start moving. I've noticed Dana at the Adventurer Guild doesn't trust me. I'm going to show her that I'm not here to be a burden."

Isabella: "Oh, I see. Is she ill?"

Yazov: "No. She just needs time to recuperate. By the way, I don't think I've seen you around here before. Are you visiting?"

Isabella: "Yes. We're heading for Central Park. We happened to have met someone named Count Cantemir, and he asked us to bring you to him."

Yazov: "You've met Count Cantemir? Don't believe what he says. Every rumor about this place is because of him. He's caused so much trouble to us long-standing residents of this place."

Isabella: "Then why don't you make him leave, or leave yourself? What's keeping you?"

Yazov: "This place is my second home. I can't abandon it. And I told him many times that he should quit his ridiculous research. He wouldn't listen. But everything's going to be okay. My mistress can easily take care of vermin like that old coot if she has a mind. The same goes for you. If you don't want trouble, then please do not disturb my mistress and leave. The order of this place--"

Domina Hailey: "...Mm... Who am I? Why...? Where am I?"

Yazov: "My Lady, your name is Domina Hailey. You're my mistress, and this is your domain. Are you feeling tired?"

Domina Hailey: "...to go back... I can't go back... Help... Blood... No... ...Hungry..."

Yazov: "My Lady, are you hungry? It's time you get your appetite back. Excuse me, gentlemen. My mistress needs to eat. Please leave. Don't worry about the way out. If you wait, I'll help you. Please tell that to Count Cantemir."

Was it a lie when you said you'd tell us how to get out of here?" Yazov: "No. I won't tarnish my mistress's honor by lying to her guests. As you said, the Mistress is not ready to drink your blood. Yet. Which is all the more reason for you to leave. She won't be able to stay away from you forever. I'll tell you how to get out of here. For now." Cyrus: "Why would we believe you?"

Azalea: "Based on what I've heard from you, those you and Your Highness met could be vampires, the originators of vampire magic, although they sound different from what I know about them." Pipi: "Maybe they're victims of terranite transmutation, just like those mutants we've seen." Dana Donatel: "Can we save them?" Azalea: "They sound like their transmutation is already completed. Those three sisters were exceptionally resistant to terranite. The legend of their birth may have been a lie, but their power wasn't." Cyrus: "I don't think that woman Domina Hailey is strong. She's unable to control the power inside her. That explains her feverish [state], and why she has to drink 'weak' blood. She can't hold down 'solid food', if you will." Pipi: "...?! Wait, what did you say her name was? Domina Hailey? Did you say Hailey?" Isabella: "I did. Why?" Pipi: "O-oh, nothing. I'm sorry I interrupted you. You can continue..." Dana Donatel: "So, in short, that couple has already undergone transmutation and cannot be saved, and they could pose a threat on our way back if we leave them alone. Adventurer, this means there's only one thing we can do. They may look like us, but they're dangerous monsters. I hope you'll make the right decision." Pipi: "..."
Objectives	Go to the anxious Pipi and ask what happened.
Upon Completion	Pipi: "I've read about vampire magic before. I was curious how it worked. I quit it when I realized I didn't have a talent for it, but I've learned about vampire biology. People think vampires always crave blood, but that's not true. Once they find a perfect shelter, which is usually dark and cramped, they drink only a minimum amount of blood that they need for survival. Based on what you said, that man Yazov is close to the description of a normal vampire, and that woman Hailey... I think she's Leiyha."

I sneaked out of my house to play with her sister Rony all the time, and Leiyha treated me the same as she did Rony. I couldn't visit their house anymore because of the Wind Canyon. I didn't hear much news of them, but I wasn't worried--I knew we'd meet again someday. Then I heard a rumor that a maiden in their village on the other side of the Wind Canyon went missing. I was so worried that I crossed the Wind Canyon and went to Rony's. Rony already gave up on Leiyha by the time I got there. I haven't. I came all the way here to find her, and I would've been less shocked if I found her dead. ...But maybe I'm wrong. I'll only have to see her with my own eyes to know if she's Leiyha."

Objectives

Go to Domina Hailey with Pipi.

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering the dungeon:

Pipi: "I said, you don't have to follow me. *Sigh* You're so nosy, aren't you? *Chuckle* But that's why everyone loves you. While I was resting in the tent, everyone I met told me great things about you, even though they don't know me well. I'm envious of you. So many people have faith in you. I wish my sisters back home trusted me as much as your friends trust you, and it's all my fault."

Upon entering the boss room:
Yazov: "That way is the exit. Please follow me."

Pipi: "I came to see Leiyha."

Yazov: "There is no person by that name here."

Pipi: "Stop playing games with me. You just mixed the letters in the name Leiyha to make the name Hailey!"

Yazov: "...The Mistress is resting. She's not in any condition to receive guests, let alone digest your blood. But I am. Drinking your blood will help me better serve my mistress."

Upon defeating the boss:
Butler Yazov: "Urgh... I've gotten rusty at fighting... For now, you're stronger than I am. But I'm not going to let you interfere with my mistress. She's not a weak vampire like me. She has [a] voracious appetite. She won't stop craving blood. Not until everyone in this place and everywhere else in Pandemonium has fallen asleep! On a silent night... The new order of the world will be established."

Upon Completion

Pipi: "How did this happen? It's so terrible... You said the Count was looking for research materials, right? Count Cantemir is also known as the Researcher of Immortality. If his magic power grew stronger after he was bitten by Leiyha, then he could've gotten close to succeeding in his research. But that would've cost many lives. Most of the mutants around here are probably his test subjects. *Sigh...* Do you think the Count would tell us how to turn his test subjects back to normal, if we ask? He wouldn't, would he? He couldn't even turn himself back..."

Pipi: "Oh, do you know her? Well, it'd be strange not to--she's one of the most famous people in Pandemonium. She's transformed Central Park into the beautiful forest it is now. Huh? Oh, you're heading for Central Park. Maybe acts of Providence really do exist. Maybe I was meant to meet you. I don't believe in destiny, but I wouldn't mind having you as my soul mate. Oh, did you believe what I just said? Come on, you should know better than that. Even if you're my soul mate, I wouldn't fall for you that easily. Now, are you ready to go to Domina Hailey? Vampires are monsters, and I'm not going to go easy on her. I'll fight. I don't want to disappoint Kate. ...This has to be kept secret from Rony, though. ...I'm okay.

After I recovered, I was told that you had headed out this way. I came as soon as I could. No sane man comes to the Chamber of Terror of his own accord. I understand you were just passing through, but did you really have to come here? Us? We're fine. Verdil can't move around freely yet, but she's okay. So are the other Half-breeds and Flameskin. Sharon is still acting awkward toward us, and Marcella... She's okay. By the way, did something happen? I heard a commotion. A woman turned into a monster? Tell us more about it. Actually, we came here to tell you something. ...I see. Then..." Skuldi: "Yes, I think she was that strange woman we saw. Before we met you, we saw this woman walking in the desert by herself. She looked like she was sick, and she didn't want us to get near her. I knew something was wrong with her. She kept saying she wanted to go home, but couldn't. She kept contradicting herself. She said she was heading for the Chamber of Terror. I thought she was crazy." Elda: "I'm sorry for her. She probably suffered from terranite poisoning like we did. How do I know? She came to the Valley of the Half-breeds several [times] to sell terranite. We were lucky that we got help before it was too late and that we were strong enough to endure the poisoning for so long. Otherwise, we could've ended up as monsters like her. That's what Gragol wanted." Azalea: "You still have to be careful. Don't strain yourselves." Skuldi: "Don't worry. We're Transcendent Nornil. We're not completely cured, but one day we will--we'll transcend our limits and become stronger than you, Adventurer." Elda: "That's right. Come back to Time Square when you have time. I want a match with you. You'll be surprised to know what I can do. We'd better go back now. The Roccas wanted us back soon. Without Gragol, the Roccas are the king of the valley. Now that the cat's gone, the mice are playing." Skuldi: "We'd better leave. Thank you for helping us back then. Verdil sends her regards. See you again."

And everyone else... They were fed to Suparna. I'm sorry I lied. But I had no choice. I didn't want to die. I know you hate me, but not everyone is as strong as you. I did what I had to do to survive. ...By the way, how did you stop Valgur? Valgur does everything Suparna says. Oh, what's that shining thing? ...A bell? I don't know much about magic, but it looks like it's enchanted with special magic. It could be what stopped Valgur. Its light is weakening. Is it losing its magic? What do we go? ...Oh, other Garudas can cast geas, just like Suparna. They're her children, so it's in the family. Maybe we can use their feathers to revive the bell's power. I remember hearing about it from a friend who is a mage. Let's try it."

I'm wondering... could you let me have the Bell of Obedience? As you can see, I'm not strong enough to fight. I can't get out of here alive unless I ride Valgur, so please?"

Azalea: "We're sorry, but that's not going to happen."

Upon Completion

Azalea: "After talking to the adventurer, I wondered why Suparna wouldn't have eaten you already when she needed all the nourishment she could find to lay eggs. That means you were too valuable to her. Suparna knew you could lure prey to her, like you tried to set up this adventurer for her. When you first met this adventurer, your timing was impeccable. You acted like an innocent victim, but that was not the case, was it? You were with Suparna to get some information you wanted when you met this adventurer, and then you realized he had a tool to control Valgur. You leaked the information about the bell, and feigned fear and ran away from us, so you could go back to Suparna and [coax] her into launching an all-out attack against this adventurer. You did all that to kill him and steal the bell. But you failed to steal the bell, and Suparna died. You're strong, but not enough to beat the adventurer. And what you're doing right now--"

Laura: "You're pretty smart, aren't you? I was too preoccupied with this adventurer to take notice of you. Yes, I was going to let his guard down and steal the bell, so I could sic Valgur on him. Bah! Suparna had an interesting ability. I wanted her to lay eggs in her best condition, and that didn't go well. Adventurer, you shouldn't have shown me the bell. I know how it works now. Hah hah!"

Azalea: "Who are you?"

Laura: "Who are you? The spell I used to conceal my mana is from an old grimoire. No one knew how I did it, until you came along. How come I haven't heard of such a powerful mage? It's disconcerting. Maybe Pandemonium is bigger than I thought."

Azalea: "..."

Laura: "Bah, this is just my luck. I've hidden my mana for too long to beat that adventurer in a contest of strength, but once I complete my research... Adventurer. My savior. We'll meet again. I want to repay you for saving me by taking away your life. You'll make good subjects for my research. Ho ho!"

I just wanted to keep an eye on her. She left without a fight this time, but you should watch for her while staying in Pandemonium. Pandemonium is a harsh place to live. It forces its residents to develop survival skills. If they are not physically strong, then they're cunning, and they all adapt to their surroundings quickly. Because there are so many hurdles that you have to overcome just to survive, some people don't hesitate to hurt others for their survival. And they won't change, unless something catastrophic happens to their world. But Terra wasn't always like this. It used to be beautiful and inhabited by kind people just like Arad--Oh, I've talked far too long already. The others are here, so let's go. I'll tell the others to ride on the back.

Briefing	Niu: "Ah... Hah hah hah. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. I was so happy to see my sister that I forgot my manners. You came back from Arad, right? Kate told me you were coming. Thank you for helping Pipi. Please come to our village with us. Central Park is the name of the region that includes this forest. The original Central Park, where Summoner Kate lives, is farther in the back." Red Witch: "I'm sorry, but where did Kate go?" Niu: "She's moving on her own. She told me to bring Pipi back home as soon as I found her. We can wait for her in the village." Red Witch: "Can I come with you? That man is still in my [forest], and I had to lift the spell on the forest for Pipi. I need to stay somewhere else for a while." Niu: "Sure, you can come with us. Oh, Adventurer, where are your friends? You can take them with you, too."
Objectives	Go to Central Park and talk to Niu. Meet Niu: 0/1 Bell of Obedience (1)
Upon Completion	Niu: "Welcome to Central Park. How do you like it compared to the villages in Arad you've been [to]? It's not big, but Kate poured her heart [into] its creation. Pretty, huh? You must be exhausted, coming this far. Why don't you get some rest? Kate will be here soon." Red Witch: "Oh, right--give me that Bell of Obedience back. It's not something you can carry around so casually. I let you borrow it because you begged for it, and what did you do? Yes, you lost it." Pipi: "Ho ho ho... B-but you wouldn't have met this adventurer if I didn't drop it, would you? Can't you just let it go?" Niu: "No. You'll never live this down." Pipi: "Sob My sisters are always harassing me. Adventurer, help..."

Briefing

Red Witch: "Niu, where did Kate go? Why doesn't she come back already?"

Niu: "I don't know. Lady witch, could you look for her?"

Red Witch: "I had to cancel the spell that I cast on the forest for Pipi, and restoring it takes a while."

Pipi: "...Hmpf, could you stop saying that you did it for me?"

Pai: "...You deserve it."

Pipi: "Pai, I can't believe you! You don't know the terrible things I've experienced in the outside world!"

Red Witch: "That's not my business. Right now, I'm just upset about that creepy man stalking my forest."

Pipi: "...We'd better go find her. Adventurer, I know you're tired, but could you come with me? I'll feel safer if you do."

Objectives

Help Niu look for Kate in the Red Witch's Forest.

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering the boss room:

Oblivious Aslan: "Why? Why did you stop me? Don't you know how important Luke is to Pandemonium?"

Niu: "I do. I haven't decided how I feel about Luke, but I know what he's trying to do is wrong."

Oblivious Aslan: "You just don't understand him. Soon, everyone will realize how right he's been!"

'Upon defeating the boss:
Oblivious Aslan: "Well, he doesn't need anything else getting in his way. Anyone who defies him doesn't deserve to live. I will kill you right here and now!"

Kate: "No, you won't. Agent of Apostle Luke, you've abducted my sister and threatened my guests, but I'll let that slide if you leave peacefully."

Upon Completion

Kate: "Whew, I'm exhausted. I used my elemental power too quickly. Niu, are you all right?"

Niu: "Oh, yes, I am. Thank you. Where's Aslan?"

Kate: "I don't know. I was too busy casting magic, but coming back here will take him more energy than he cares to spend. I'm sure he'd rather admit his defeat and return to Luke."

Kasijas: "Gah, you blew him away so quickly that I didn't get the chance to see how strong that liutenant of Luke's was."

Kate: "*Chuckle* I didn't want to damage the trees. Plus, Kasijas, your sword is too precious to draw blood from someone like him."

It must have been tough coming all the way to Pandemonium. This is Apostle Kasijas. Don't worry, he's not a threat. He's helping me." Kasijas: "I'm not helping you. I'm just using you to get into more fights." Kate: "Chuckle Sure, whatever you say. Niu, what are you doing here? Did you find Pipi? Oh, you wondered where I was, so you came to find me. Thank you. Now that we got rid of Pipi's evil abductor, we can safely go back to Central Park. The others must be waiting for us."

Kate's Story

Level	86
Quest Giver	Kate
Briefing	Kate: "I know why you came here: to stop Apostle Luke. He's admired by all of Pandemonium, but recently his actions have been rather alarming." Dana Donatel: "I agree. I thought the people of Pandemonium were aware of that, but I was wrong." Kate: "That's because his schemes don't affect Pandemonium as much as they do your world. He's never spread the Black Nightmare in Pandemonium, and that's probably because he doesn't want to agitate the other Apostles." Isabella: "You're saying no one in Pandemonium would help us." Kate: "You would have a hard time finding people who would be glad to help you. To the general populace of Pandemonium, Arad is a myth and Apostle Luke's technology has benefited all of them." Azalea: "...What about you? I'll understand if you're upset at what we're trying to do." Kate: "...Actually, I am. I may not look it, but I've relied on Luke a lot until recently, when I've learned what he did to Arad. What I've learned [shook] me to the core. Are you going to defeat Apostle Luke? Are you going to stop him by defeating him and restore peace? It may be the best solution at this moment, but know that things don't always turn out the way you want. Unexpected things could happen after Apostle Luke is gone." If the player is a member of the Joint Investigation Group Isabella: "But we have to do something before he sets his plans in motion. We don't know if we can do it, but we have to try. There has to be a reason why Apostle Hilder recommended you to us. You know how to break Luke's seal and reach him, don't you? Please help us." If the player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Dana Donatel: "I understand your concern, but the peace of Arad and Empyrean is at stake. We have to do something before he sets his plans in motion. There has to be a reason why Apostle Hilder recommended you to us. You know how to break Luke's seal and reach him, don't you? Please help us." If the player is a member of the Grim Seekers Azalea: "I understand your concern, and I agree with you. But don't worry. This adventurer doesn't want to kill him. He wants to stop him. We want to meet him and talk things out. Apostle Hilder recommended you to us because you know how to break Luke's seal and reach him. Please, help us." Kate: "...Give me a moment. Let me put some thought into this before we continue this conversation."
Objectives	Wait until Kate puts her thoughts in order, and then talk to her again. Meet Kate: 0/1
Upon Completion	Kate: "...The King of Heblon Luke has created the seal with the dark energy that the Black Nightmare has collected for him. To break the seal, its darkness has to be neutralized by light. He used the Black Nightmare to suck energy out of Arad and strengthen his power of light and darkness. He's keeping most of the energy, but the rest is scattered across Pandemonium. It takes time to gather the scattered light, and gathering enough light to break his seal will take at least a decade." Hunter Von: "Aww, that's too long. Whine" Kate: "And there's one place in Pandemonium where one can gather Luke's scattered energy of light more quickly than they can anywhere else, and it's here, Central Park." Azalea: (illegible due to text glitch) Kate: "Natural light barely reaches Pandemonium. I wouldn't have grown this forest so big if it weren't for Luke's power. Pandemonium is not as dark as it used to be, but it still needs the artificial infusion of light that Luke provides for things to grow. That's why I'm sad and hesitant to help you. I love this forest, and I love Luke for giving it to me. The others of Pandemonium would feel the same about him as I do. ...Adventurer, let me give this to you. Please take it."
