“

Adventurer, I'm forever indebted to you. There's nothing I can do to repay you for what you did for us. But I'll promise you this: while you're in Pandemonium, I'll watch over you from the highest place in the air. And when you struggle, I'll do my best to protect you against anything and everything, even if they're the other Apostles.

”

Isys-Prey or Prey (also known as Isys-Prey of the Blue Sky, The Highest One, and The Sun of the Sea) is the Third Apostle of Pandemonium (a.k.a. The One Who Will Never Set His Feet On The Land). He is responsible for the events that occur in the Harlem Epic Quest line and indirectly causing the Pandemonium War. Isys-Prey is known as the fastest and strongest of his species, famed for his unparalleled abilities in the air, and the only being capable of fighting on-par with Cain.

History

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Isys-Prey is a being from the golden planet, Tayberrs. He is actually a being created from the coexistence of two entities: one named Isys and the other named Prey. On Tayberrs, it was Prey who called the light and made the day, when life bloomed and flourished, whereas Isys called the darkness and invoked the night, when life that reached the end of their fate went to eternal slumber to rest in peace. While the two occupied the same body and took turns ruling Tayberrs at day and night, the balance of power slowly tilted towards Prey.

Eventually, Isys rebelled against his good half and wrestled for control. As Prey felt the rage of his other half build up within, he decided to expel his twin from himself, and called upon him to come out. On the first call, Isys' thoughts separated from his. On the second call, Isys' flesh, bone, and feathers formed. On the third call, Isys spread his wings and flew away from Prey. As Isys looked down at the tired Prey, he flapped his wings three times to silence the wind, veil the blanket of stars, and call the night to smother his brother's light.

The now separated two fought for the domination of Tayberrs' skies. Their fight lasted for a long time. Night and day were constantly changing, breaking the balance and order of the world and plunging it to chaos. Eventually, Prey defeated Isys and buried him deep beneath the ground, ushering a long era of dawn on the planet where the sun would never set. Isys was trapped in a dream of eternity, and spent a long time in darkness deeper than night.

Prey now ruled Tayberrs alone. One day, upon the arrival of strange weather anomalies tarnishing the beauty of the planet, he was tasked by Lupsong, Mother of the Blue Fire, to investigate the issue. Upon his return, he revealed that the source was from a strange fragment flying toward their planet. Prey took initiative and flew forth to destroy the fragment.

Five days after Prey's departure, his people became worried about his safety, causing many of his kind to follow in pursuit, but they did so in vain. They were unable to rescue Prey, and long-awaited his return. Although the anomalies had ceased and the strange fragment had disappeared, its residual effects remained, causing Tayberrs to become a fallen paradise.

Upon his arrival on the strange fragment, Prey came in contact with a being known as Cain, the Fatality. After a lengthy struggle, the battle between the two ended in a draw. However, after the duel, Prey realized he could not return home; the fragment had drifted far away from his home world. He was stuck in the strange world known as Pandemonium. Prey became a homeless wanderer of the new world, and became the ruler of its alien skies.

Unable to do anything else, Prey joined Hilder's journey across the universe to find the "Apostles" and eventually was granted the title as the 'Third Apostle of Pandemonium'. He later participated in stopping Bakal in the Dragon War, and became a keeper of peace in Pandemonium. He patrolled its skies rescuing individuals in danger, thus causing him to have a huge cult following among the people of Pandemonium, similar to the other Apostles, Hilder and Luke.

Centuries later, Isys woke up when Prey's power that kept him asleep disappeared from Tayberrs, as Prey was stranded on Pandemonium that drifted too far away for him to return. Vowing to settle their conflict once and for all and absorb Prey to become whole again, Isys searched everywhere on Tayberrs to find Prey, but was unsuccessful. However, he felt traces of him lingering in the cosmos. He felt it getting closer and closer. Isys unfolded his wings, to meet his other half again.

In Arad year 1006, Isys flew to Pandemonium from Tayberrs when it flew close by the planet. The two halves, Isys and Prey, fought each other again through a number of fierce battles. Eventually, Prey had succeeded in defeating his evil half once more. Unable to deal the final blow, his evil half, Isys, fell like a meteor through the Pandemonium skies, and landed in the Kashipa controlled realm known as Harlem. Upon Isys's arrival, he released a massive amount evil energy before reverting to the form of a mysterious egg. The Kashipa, unable to withstand the tantalizing energy of the Apostles, took control of the egg, creating a power struggle in Pandemonium, thus ushering the beginning of the Pandemonium War.

Upon finding a runaway slave boy named Cobb and witnessing the defeat of Isys, Niu, the Guardians, Pai, and a group of Adventurers ventured into Harlem to investigate. There, the adventurers were instructed to retrieve Isys's egg before the situation worsened.
