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.

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?

Into the Sky

Level	94
Quest Giver	Arthur
Briefing	Arthur: But Prey flew into the sky and has never shown himself again. Even when he sent the Adventurer to Tayberrs through me. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Don't worry. We've got Blossom. She should be able to sense him. She sensed Isys's energy just now! Flower Queen Blossom: I can sense him, but I don't know exactly where he is. But with Alexandra and Arthur's help, I might be able to send you to where he is, Adventurer. Prey has been communicating with you through Arthur, right? That means Arthur's connected to Prey, and I should be able to signal Prey with my power. If Prey detects my signals, then he'll pull you toward him when Alexandra sends you up to the sky, Adventurer. Pai: Is that-erm-safe, though...? Flower Queen Blossom: Don't worry, Pai. If it fails, I can always use my power to safely receive the Adventurer. Pai: ...You're... You're sure about that, right? Celestial Archer Alexandra: If you can't trust us, then trust Prey! If you're ready, let Blossom know. I'm going to stretch in the meantime.
Objectives	Talk to Flower Queen Blossom in Ashen Grave.
Upon Completion	Flower Queen Blossom: Are you ready? Celestial Archer Alexandra: I am!

Floater

Level	94
Quest Giver	Kate
Briefing	If the Player is not a Female Mage Kate: Have safe travel, Adventurer. Pai: Err... Adventurer, please be safe... If the Player is a Female Mage Kate: Have safe travel. Pai: Err... Adventurer, please be safe...
Objectives	Talk to Isys-Prey in the sky.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon encountering Isys-Prey: Isys-Prey: Oh, we finally meet. I'm Apostle Isys-Prey. I've wanted to meet you and thank you for protecting my home world, Tayberrs. I know this is rather soon, but I'll have to ask you for another favor. <Player>: (Isys-Prey...!) Isys-Prey: I must re-assimilate Isys, but I can't do that while he's recovering his strength in egg form. If he's recovered enough strength to stand against me, then I'll be in trouble. Even if I manage to re-assimilate him, my body wouldn't be able to withstand his evil energy. If he's become stronger than me, then I'd be swallowed whole. For now, everything is unclear, and I only have one chance to suppress and re-assimilate him. I can't ruin this chance by rushing into things. Please help my followers find Isys's egg and weaken him before he's fully awake. Then, I'll use everything in my power to suppress and re-assimilate him, vanquishing all the evil that he's brought into this world. <Player>: Where's Isys? Isys-Prey: I'll give my power to that follower of mine. That'll help him detect Isys's energy. Follow him. You'll find everything you need, wherever you end up. Now, go. I'll send you back to where you came from. I promise we'll meet again soon.
Upon Completion	Arthur: Adventurer, you came back safely!

Start the Chase

Level	94
Quest Giver	Arthur
Briefing	Arthur: Did you meet Prey? He's given me power? That explains why I started sensing Isys's energy somewhere in Nighttime Skyscraper. You must be right. Prey's power must have entered my body. He's given me his strength... I'm so honored. I believe he did it because he wants me to help you stop Isys. Let me guide you from now on.
Objectives	Talk to Kate in Ashen Grave.
Upon Completion	If the Player is not a Female Mage Kate: I'm glad you came back safely. I worried for nothing. Niu has been waiting for you. While you were in the sky, she's learned some new info. Niu: I've heard Arthur has received power from Prey. That should help us find Isys's egg. But let's not let our guard down, just yet. More Isys's followers are gathering here every day. And the Guardians who went out to scout have seen the Kashipas among them. Most of them could be just attracted to Isys's power, but some of them have to be here for Ricardo and Isys's egg. Kate: If Niu is right, it'll be difficult to find the egg on your own. No matter how experienced you are in fighting, you can't cut a path through so many enemies and get to the egg in time. So Niu, Arthur's colleagues, and I have decided to help you. Adventurer, please go with Blossom and Alexandra. Arthur will guide you.

Corrupt Follower

Level	94
Quest Giver	Celestial Archer Alexandra
Dungeon	Nighttime Skyscraper (Dungeon)
Briefing	Celestial Archer Alexandra: Did you meet Prey? He's not sick or anything, is he? Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra, the fact that the Adventurer has returned safely proves that Prey's safe. He's just resting to recover his strength, isn't he, Adventurer? <Player>: (I nod my head.) Flower Queen Blossom: I told you, Alexandra. Celestial Archer Alexandra: You were more anxious than I was, Blossom! Anyway, I'm glad Prey's safe. We're going to find Isys's egg, no matter what, and go meet Prey. Flower Queen Blossom: We definitely will. Adventurer, we're ready. Shall we go? Arthur will show us the way.
Objectives	Follow Isys's energy to Nighttime Skyscraper.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the Dungeon: Flower Queen Blossom: This place smells so terrible that it's making me dizzy. Arthur: The thickest stream of Isys's energy is flowing in this direction. It sticks out like a length of rope among thin threads. I can't believe Prey has given me this power-it's incredible! Flower Queen Blossom: It proves Prey's confidence in you, Arthur. Thank you for helping us find the egg. Upon entering Room D1: Arthur: It vanished in the place in front of us, and I don't think this is our final destination. And I don't know why I feel so anxious... Upon entering the Boss Room: Flower Queen Blossom: Oh, no... Frekses! Celestial Archer Alexandra: What? What happened? Huh? This is... the Omega Guardian?! What's the Guardian of the Ancient Temple doing here? Upon defeating the Boss: Omega Guardian: Not... him... Flower Queen Blossom: Frekses! Are you okay? Verdant Frekses: You're... Blossom, the Flower Queen. Thank you for gracing this humble caretaker of the Ancient Temple with your presence. Celestial Archer Alexandra: What the hell happened? Why did you vanish all of a sudden? And what happened here? Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra, don't. Frekses is struggling. You shouldn't ask him so many questions at once. Verdant Frekses: No. It's okay. This... This feather of memory will tell me what happened.
Upon Completion	Verdant Frekses: That's my memory of how I got here.

The Inside

Level	94
Quest Giver	Verdant Frekses
Briefing	Verdant Frekses: Since I came here-khhk! Flower Queen Blossom: Frekses! Ah... He hasn't fully recovered yet. I don't know how he's managed this long. Let's go back to Ashen Grave. I can't treat him here because of Isys's energy that's permeating everywhere.
Objectives	Go to Flower Queen Blossom in Ashen Grave and listen to her story about Verdant Frekses.
Upon Completion	Flower Queen Blossom: You came, Adventurer. We brought Frekses here safely, and it was all thanks to you. He fell asleep after he was treated. He'll wake up soon. Kate: He was injured really badly. I couldn't have treated him if it weren't for Blossom. Blossom, I was especially impressed by your magic that summoned flowers over his injuries to heal them. If it's not too much to ask, I'd love to learn it. Flower Queen Blossom: Kate, I've heard you love flowers. I'd love to talk to you about them when we have the time. Ho ho. We'll make good friends. I wish we met when things were more peaceful, but we wouldn't have met if they were, would we? How ironic! Celestial Archer Alexandra: Blossom! Frekses is awake! Flower Queen Blossom: Frekses! Are you awake? Verdant Frekses: Flower Queen... Thank you for saving my life. Finally it's over-well, maybe it's just the beginning. Celestial Archer Alexandra: You! Why didn't you tell us that you were leaving for this place? Verdant Frekses: I guess I'll have to explain that first, don't I? This happened on Tayberrs. When it rained purple and Prey disappeared, I also lost my precious wings. Having lost the two most important things in my life, I was devastated beyond words. Then, one day I felt a thick darkness seeping into my mind. Yes, it was Isys's corrupt energy. It encroached upon my other self, Arketo, and caused me immense pain. I couldn't resist it. Isys's voice that was whispering to our ears was like a god's calling to Arketo. I used my ability as the caretaker of the Ancient Temple of Purification to purge a corner of Arketo's mind, take over the body while he was confused, and lock him up inside me. Arketo wouldn't stay quiet. Desperate to reclaim the body, he started attacking me, his other half. The battle between the two minds over the body begun. In the end, I won and retained these appearances, but I couldn't avoid receiving damage on my mind. Celestial Archer Alexandra: You should've asked for help! We could've helped you. Verdant Frekses: Thank you for your kindness, Celestial Archer, but I couldn't do that. If Arketo woke up while my mind collapsed, he would've taken control over the body and led Isys's army in the destruction of destroy Tayberrs. So, I came here, where I strongly sensed Prey's energy, to find him and detach myself from Arketo. But at that time Prey was recuperating from the battle with Isys. He still would've helped me if I asked, but I didn't want him to waste his energy on me because he needed it to heal himself. That's why I was hiding like that, trying to take care of myself. But don't worry about me now. While staying in that cave, I managed to heal my wounded mind and imprison Arketo inside the deep abyss of my mind. And now that you healed my physical injuries, I'm whole again! I can't desribe how thankful I am for your help. From now on, I'll help you help Prey. Flower Queen Blossom: This is great. Frekses, we need you, to purge Isys's egg and help Prey absorb its power. Thank you for your help, caretaker of the Ancient Temple. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Err... Mm... I'm sorry I pressed hard upon you. Err... Thank you for joining us.

Path to the Heart

Level	94
Quest Giver	Verdant Frekses
Briefing	Verdant Frekses: You haven't found Isys's egg yet. Hm... Actually, I found it a while ago. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Then, do you have it with you?! Verdant Frekses: Unfortunately, no. Celestial Archer Alexandra: Bah! Flower Queen Blossom: Alexandra, that's not nice. Let Frekses talk. Verdant Frekses: At that time, I was barely able to move, but I felt Isys's power, so I went where it was. When I got there, I saw some human doing some strange thing with his egg. It looked as if he wanted to break it. I tried to stop him and retrieve the egg, but he realized what I was trying to do and ran away. I would've followed him if it weren't for Isys's followers that got in my way. Niu: Ricardo! It must have been Ricardo! Verdant Frekses: So, that's his name. He-Ricardo-headed for the center of Nighttime Skyscraper. That's all I saw before I ran away from the horde of Isys's followers that swooped down on me.
Objectives	Talk to Arthur in Ashen Grave.
Upon Completion	If the Player is not a Female Mage Arthur: Frekses is right. I can sense Isys's energy most strongly in the heart of Nighttime Skyscraper. And it's stronger than ever. We'll find his egg where this energy of his is. Verdant Frekses: You're... I see. You're using Prey's power. This proves how much Prey trusts you. I'm envious of you for being able to wield his power. Arthur: I'm so honored that he has so much trust in me. Frekses, I've heard you helped Prey with many things when you were on Tayberrs. You must know a lot about him. I'd love to talk more with you when everything's settled. Verdant Frekses: Sure, I look forward to it. Kate: Now, everything's ready, and we have no time to waste. Let's move. We Circle Mages will cut a path to the center of the place. Niu, Pai, and the other Guardians will come with us. Pai: Yes! You can count on me! Kate: Adventurer, please go with Frekses, Blossom, and Alexandra. Arthur will show you the way. I'll be praying for everyone's safety, so let's meet again with smiles on our faces.

Tightening Clutches of Sin

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.
