Player, the time of your destiny is coming.

Hellion flies to Ataxiar...just as I did once before...

Swallow this Pearl of Purification. The five Divine Blessings will purify any evil energy in your body.


You have been cleansed of all evil energies. Now I may present you with the Spirit Blade.

Wear it always, so that you are able to use your newfound powers at all times.

Go through the Fissure of Destiny in the lower layer of Reshanta to reach Ataxiar. Please hurry! If you take too long, it may close again.

Once you arrive at the Vanpern Obelisks, look for Hagen. He’s my pupil, and I’ve asked him to keep an eye on Hellion. He’ll also show you how to use these.

I will now send you to the Fate Rift.

My work is done. Fate rests in your hands now. Use this opportunity and defeat Brigade General Hellion. Succeed, and you will change the course of the future.

May the blessing of darkness be with you.
Oh, if only you'd come quicker. Hellion is destroying our soldiers out on the floating island. If we don't stop him now, this place is going to fall apart.

If you give me that Spirit Blade, I'll bind it to your soul, and its powers will be with you at all times.

Are you ready?


Awake, are you?

Hmm....




Not even a word of thanks?

Very well. I am Lephar.

You may have heard of my followers...they call themselves Lepharists.




I also wanted to see the fight between the 13th Empyrean Lord’s candidates.

Althought I knew that you would win; I sensed the dark power of Beritra in you.

You wanted to suppress that power and defeat Hellion, but without that power, it wouldn’t be you standing here; it would be Hellion.

And you would be reduced to a restless spirit, spinning around here in Ataxiar.
I saved you because I believe you will prove useful. You may not realise it yet, but the Asmodae that you love and protect isn't exactly what you believe it to be.

I can show you the truth. I can lead you out of your distorted view of the world and into reality.

What do you say, Player? Will you follow me to glory, or remain in a world made of lies?




You are wise, Player. I look forward to what we'll accomplish together.

For now, though, you must keep up this masquerade. Continue working as a faithful servant of Pandaemonium.

You'll see me again when the time is right. I'll send you back to Asmodae now. Keep your eyes open--you may see something...interesting.




Hmm....

That's too bad. Not unexpected, though. You'll see me again, Player. Our fates are linked in ways you don't yet understand.

I'm sending you back to Asmodae for now, but know that we'll meet again. I'm looking forward to the day.






What brings you here, Player? Do you have something for me?

I haven't much time, so get on with it.

Hellion, you say? Fascinating... With that in mind, I must tell you something. Lord Marchutan is currently in Balaurea. He has located Tiamat, the Balaur Lady, and is attacking the location fiercely.

Seraphim Lord Kaisinel is at the same game, so we're going to have to do our best to get through first.

We've got the situation covered for now, but be prepared. I'll call for you when the time comes.
