Weakened and about to lose control to the Demonic Powers within you, you are saved at last moment by Fairy, Persephone.

Persephone explains how she had been on a quest to save her people when she was intercepted by the King Demon, Mephistopheles, whom struck her down and sealed away her soul in an orb. Her soul now freed, rather than passing onto the afterlife, she decides to giveyou her power to help you regain controlof your body.

Azeron now warns that there are troubling times ahead, and that you have a long and perilous journey before you.

He mentions that there is a war going on, and asks you to reach a tavern in a Portside Town to the East to meet a band that he refers to as the Hunters.

Main Quest 4: Road to Town[]

You are taken back by the intensily in which the water pounds the rocks on the nearby beach. The water shimmers against the night sky, switching between varying shades of black and white reflections. The water and looks sharp, almost crystalline, as if the faintest touch could cut into the skin.

Main Quest 5: Portside Town[]

As you make your way in town, you notice that the inhabitants here draw a stark contrast from those in the village you recently visited. They eye you suspiciously, almost defiantly, and they move both grace and intensity, as if their movements have been honed with strong purpose.

As you enter the tavern, the room quiets and all eyes turn to you. You do not see an unarmed man in sight. "We've been told of your coming," says an older man in the far corner of the room.

He has three long scars on one side of his face running down in the same direction as if from a large claw mark. "I'm told that you are no ordinary traveller... and that you hold inside you the key to victory."

He sees from the expression on your face that Azeron has not fully explained the current situation to you.

Long ago, Azeron defeated Angelus, the Vampire King, and banished him from this world. To prevent Angelus' return, Azeron sealed away some of Angelus' power in the form of three precious artifacts.

Although severely weakened, the vampire remnants have recently learned of these artifacs and the key to Angelus' banishment. Our sources tell us that their forces have been gathering together in recent weeks. We believe they are forming an army, and preparing for war...

In the past, we've been able to keep the vampire forces at bay, but we've sustained heavy casualties in recent battles, and we will not be able to hold them off for long..."

As if on the cue the tavern door bursts open and the closest hunters to the door are quickly dispatched by beings that, although seeming human, move with unnatural grace and strength. A fierce battle ensues, and in the midsth of battle, a sultry female figure enters the room through the shattered doorway.

Notes[]

  • Catalyst quests' energy-experience values are similar to that of the Land of Earth, only the experience gained and energy required are interchanged. Thus, Catalyst have very poor experience-to-energy ratio compared to other quests.
