<<Calming the Soul>>

This quest takes place on Floor 6

This quest is not repeatable

A mysterious waterfall, named The Waterfall of the Sage, is said to call players to it, giving them a feeling of complete relaxation upon arriving. Several flat topped rocks lay in front of the waterfall as seats for all who wish to attempt and understand the waterfall's secrets. It is said that occasionally one will open their eyes to find themselves in empty space, sometimes its an endless white space, or a never ending pitch black void, or even an endless field of flowers as it depends on how player's inner self is built. Here one's deepest thoughts can be heard echoing in the distance. A shadow like being with the appearance of a featureless human being appearing. Its size and shape similar to that of the one lucky enough to venture into the empty space, it simply points at you as a bright and disturbingly large smile appears on upon what seems to be its face.

Here four doors present themselves behind the shadow like creature, each one custom made to the player in design possibly depicting a symbol or image with significance to them. The figure lowers its hand and signals the player to enter the doors at their own pace. Upon choosing a door you  must face your inner demons and prove your might, each demon proving more difficult than the one before. When entering the doors an entirely new room is found, each one's layout depending on the demon being faced. After a demon is defeated the player will exit the room and can rest before engaging the next one, if you are incapable of continuing however your mind will begin to unravel and your fears will cast you out of the space and back into reality causing the quest to fail. Failing will not only cost you the rewards but can even cost a person's mind, or at the very least part of it.

Walking in his full suit of heavy armor without his helmet, Macradon would walk side by side with his new partner, Belphegor. The two hadn’t done much together, but Macradon felt some kind of inert anger that always kept Belphegor on the tip of a rage, Macradon wanted him to be able to control that anger and let it loose when Macradon commanded him to, at that point Macradon would be able to call himself an actual Cerberus Tamer, now, he was but a mere Cerberus Trainer. Finding their way to the waterfall of the 6th floor, Macradon would make sure Belphegor wouldn’t be chasing off some small forest critters. Getting to the waterfall, Belphegor would whimper as it tried to circle around the pond to get up where Macradon was climbing, but it didn’t seem like there was any way the fiery hound would be able to sit besides its master as Macradon would sit down with the water of the waterfall pour down upon him, still wearing his full plate armor. “It’s ok, Belphegor, just sit tight and await my return” he said as he would close his eyes and clasp his hands together and meditate.

Prior to venturing out here into the water streams of the 6th floor, Macradon had chugged down defensive and offensive potions, ready to take on whatever should be in his way of achieving peace. As he sat there and meditated, Belphegor would sit by the side and watch over its master as it whimpered, unable to besides it master while being in an environment it wasn’t used to. Macradon ignored the whimpering of the hound and continued his meditation, listening to the birds, the forest, the stream, the waterfall. Everything slowly emptying his mind as he opened his eyes in a bright white neverending room. A shadowy being stood there and accepted Macradon into his realm without uttering a single word. Pointing at the 4 doors that now surrounded Macradon, Macradon would choose the blue, nearly azure Door. As he opened the door, a dark heavily armored player, or so it seemed, would stand at ready with a two handed straight sword. Macradon recognized the figure of the player and nearly lit up in happiness, but as the sword of his opponent, Macradon was only met with despair as he realized this was within his mind, he had to fight these <Inner Demon>s as they were called, and Macradon would do just that. With a quick movement, Macradon used his <Charge> and got in close. He could see that the Juggernaut of a fiend would prepare an attack at him, and he quickly deflected the attack as he got close and unleashed his own <Sword Art> Galaxy destroyer. Ripping through the heavy armor of the Bezerker, Macradon would stand ready to deal the last and ending blow.

Without much more hesitation, Macradon would cleave down his first inner demon, the loss of the Bezerker that has plagued his mind since the event that happened. “May you rest in peace” he uttered before launching yet another <Galaxy Destroyer>, even though it was way too overkill for something like this, but it was his way of paying homage to his former mentor and his idol, Ssendom. Using the strongest Two Handed Straight Sword attack on him to relieve him from his mind really helped him get through this madness that had been within his mind, he was finally able to let go of the memories of the Azure Knight that had helped him through everything he knew. He would take a deep breath as he exited the dark room that was the Bezerker’s residence in his mind, the boss room of the 15th floor, the spider boss Limbo. Closing the door behind him, the door would vanish into thin air as the demon had been erased from his mind. Going with the positive rotation, Macraodn would take the door to his right. It was a white door with gold and red details, he already knew what was going to happen now.

Opening up the door decorated to the style of his armor and guild, Macradon would be surprised to see what he would find behind the door. It was the same room as before, dark, gloomy, edgy, and filled with cobwebs scattered everywhere. Standing in the middle of the room was Opal with her back turned, adorned in her white and red lusty armor, as that seemed to be her strong suite to haul in the people of Aincrad. Macradon would sigh as he was quite aware of what was going to happen. Having his Greatsword ready, he would watch as Opal slowly turned around and drew here katana from its sheath. What really confused him was her sudden transformation into the other Opal that had been more prominent on the front lines, her purple and dark edgy clothes when she worked for Laughing Coffin. Macradon rushed in with his <Charge> but was met by a deflecting <Sword Art> that left both people in an exposed state.

Seeing the obvious action at the given moment, Macradon expected Opal to react, or at least his inner demon shown as Opal, and execute a sword art as Macradon was exposed, but he had already thought of that and quickly switched to a defensive sword art to deflect the oncoming attack. Quickly after recovering from the attack, Macradon rushed in and would throw off a <Galaxy Destroyer>, dealing quite the damage against the inner demon. Taking off a good chunk of its HP, it would get into a defensive guard and prepare to counter whatever Macradon would throw at it. It was like a trial to see if he could outsmart the murderer of his idol, if he truly had become strong enough to do the deed, had he become the one to take out Opal? A quick glance at Opal would let Macradon get the idea of what to do now and where to attack from to bait her guard.

The two would exchange blows with their two handed weapons. With a great reach advantage, Macradon would make a lot of jabs with his great sword, threatening Opal with all his aggressive nature. Opal would hold her katana up high with the point down and her hand cradling the spine of her katana going from side to side to deflect Macradon’s flurry of stabs that continued to follow through. Macradon took the chance and would lunge up forward with a <Straight> attack with his sword and would pierce the air that would be in his way, nearly impaling Opal before she quickly sidestepped and threw Macradon off course. Quickly initiating with a downwards slash towards Macradon’s exposed sides. Macradon, quickly refreshing from the cool down after using a sword art would take another step forward as he swing his sword over him, deflecting Opal’s oncoming attack.

After deflecting the attack Macradon would go in, aiming another stab towards Opal’s exposed throat after her sword was bashed to the side, but because of her nimbleness she evaded it and would come with a diagonal slash from above. Macradon would turned his sword sideways and would position it above him, holding onto the blade with his off hand as he would block the downwards strike with the flat of his blade. In the same motion of blocking, Macradon would step forward and with his martial abilities from before he ended up in the game Macradon would make a fierce frontal kick with the butt of his foot, pushing Opal quite the distance away from him. Macradon made a pirouette and come with a upwards diagonal strike toward Opal, but that attack was just as esil deflect as before with Opal’s flat of her katana.

With her quick reaction Opal would swing his sword from the block to an attack, just swirling her sword with the wrist as the pivot point, going behind her first in an upwards arch that continued to go towards Macradon’s head. With a quick deflection technique, Macradon would schwerchau the oncoming attack, bashing it to the side. Now, with his blade on top of Opal’s and her Katana down at the ground, Macradon activated his <Galaxy Destroyer> and quickly made an end of the Inner Demon that took the shape of Opal. A quick slash that cleaved all the way through Opal’s shadowy body would decimate the being and force it away from this place, dissipating into nothing but a dark smoke. Macradon would sheathe his sword on his back again and proceed to go out of the dark room to once again arrive at the hall of 4 doors, now with two of them gone.

The next door seemed like Macradon was quite sure what would be on the other end, the antagonist of his mind that had been plaguing him since the 16th floor, where his weakness truly shined. Entering the blue and red flame carved door, Macradon already had his sword drawn and was ready for whatever would be on the other end of the door. Even though Macradon was prepared for the worst, just as he opened the door and entered, he was attacked with a ferocious blood lust, even though the damage was small, Macradon staggered back slightly, nearly falling through the door again before he would stand his ground and use his sword to weight him forward. As he got back up he would try to retaliate, but before his sword could initialize any <Sword Art> it would be bashed to the side without him being able to do anything against it.

Macradon, instead of being on the offense as he had been the other fight, was forced into the defensive as he had to deflect all incoming attacks from Teayre that just kept on coming without any pauses. Macradon would lower his guard to another to bait an obvious attack from the girl with the katana, knowing quite well what went through the minds of the “Kill it” mentality. As Macradon baited out an attack that was easily avoidable, Macradon set up his <Tempest> <Sword Art> and proceeded to bash his pommel into Teayre’s face, throwing her to the ground and stunning her momentarily with the heavy bludgeoning attack. Macradon quickly recovered from his fatigue and would proceed to ready another attack aimed at the small girl, hoping that he would deal enough damage to give Macradon the great advantage in the fight now, unless the mindless Teayre would just throw attack after attack at him.

The stunning effect gave Macradon a great opportunity to go in and attack Teayre to get off some more damage, but before his stun period was supposed to be over, she rolled over backwards and stood back up, charging in with another attack which Macradon couldn’t do much against, as he was already in the procedure of executing his <Sword Art>, knowing that he had taken virtually no damage he would let his attack connect even though he would take damage as well, both attacking each other in a ferocious battle that not many would be able to withstand. The only reason Macradon was doing so great was because he had prepared himself for this, having Tristan’s protection over his body as damage was whittled down to nothing, then having his inspiration of Dom in his Battle Healing, healing the near null damage away. After dealing the strike, both Macradon and Teayre had crossed each other’s paths and were placed somewhat far from each other.

Macradon would slowly turn around to face Teayre, but she weren’t the one to wait patiently in a battle like this, her blood lust was driving her body, moving faster than anyone Macradon had dueled. Her katana was fast, strong and deadly, at least Macradon had seen quite the death tally from her, but right now it felt like nothing. Teayre would come with wide slashes that would usually be easy to take care of, dodge or just deflect for a lunge, but this was different. Teayre’s speed was nearly over classing everything else Macradon had been up against, and this is probably what it would feel like to battle the one wielding the Batto-jutsu. Macradon could not go into the offence at the moment in fear of overstepping and be caught off guard, Teayre’s damage right now was low, but he hadn’t seen what she was capable of yet, so something might be fishy about this situation, but for now, Macradon would keep on dodging and deflecting every split second there were to defend with.

He would try to be very precise and very neat about his actions against Teayres, the bloodthirsty strikes she kept on throwing at him were difficult to keep at bay, but there were eventual gaps he spotted, but because of her extreme speed Macradon was unable to catch up and abuse the openings he would find in her attack pattern. Macradon would make a pirouette as he dodged a straight attack from Teayre, activate his <Galaxy Destroyer> and would send a huge blow at her. Blocking with her katana, Teayre wouldn’t be able to stand her ground as the attack was so great that her sword was thrown to the side, out of her hands, and Macradon’s blade to strike her, leaving a deep red wound upon her body, matching the other red clothes upon her. Macradon would stand and look at the pitiful being that was now Teayre, standing there, helpless.

Watching as she slowly went over to grab her katana again and prepare to fight, Macradon had calmed his mind to such a degree that he had the perfect plan to take out the red headed freak. Lowering his guard, Macradon could see the rage in her eyes that revealed that his bait had worked. Macradon would show pity with his lowered guard, triggering a rage within Teayre as she lunged forward in a jumping manner, going for a vertical strike at Macradon, but instead of blocking or deflecting the attack, Macradon would use all he got to run past her attack, ending with his back turned to Teayre as he activated his <Back Rush> sword art. As his body turned around with the help of the Cardinal system, Macradon roared out “This is for Manta and Ebony!” as he stroke down a single strike, taking out the last sliver of health Teayre had left.

Taking in a deep breath, Macradon would slowly try to regulate his breathing again, as he only had one door left, and as he had seen with the other doors, they only got harder and harder. Walking out into the open room of nothingness again, Macradon would see the red and blue flame door disappear behind him, leaving only one last door for him to open. The last door was a red, white and silver door, opposed to Opal’s door that was red, white and gold. Macradon would ponder, who could be behind this door that would have any connection with him, who could have such an impact upon him that it would be the last and strongest enemy. Flipping through his mind, he would think of potential enemies he would face on the other side of the door. “Hm …” he thought for himself as the images of the Commander, Heathclif, would show itself.

“No, that can’t be” he thought as the Commander wore more red than white, and the last door way more white than reds upon it. Thinking again, another thought came to light as Hirru could be one “Mmm … no” he thought, as Hirru wasn’t someone who had done anything against him, nor did he have silver in his getup, mostly red, white and green as the Hunter wore, matching his hair. Thinking through his all, Mack came to his mind. Could Mack be the last enemy he had to face? Why? What had Mack done to Macradon? Mack had been absent, that was true, but it wouldn’t leave such and impact on Macradon that this strong enemy would be Mack, it just couldn’t be. “Could it be Opal?” he thought, the old Opal, not the super edgy one he already had fought, but that wouldn’t make any sense, why silver for old and gold for new?

Slowly regaining his energy to the last fight, Macradon would sit down in a legged position, slowly breathing in and out with his eyes closed, still thinking of who it might be behind the door. All of the ones he had thought through were possible enemies that wasn’t actually not that possible to be honest. He would take in one last deep breath as he opened up his eyes and exhaled. He would look at the energy bar below his health bar, noticing that it was finally filled up again. Sighing heavily, Macradon would only be able to find out what’s behind the door by entering. Slowly getting up on his feet again, Macradon would draw the sword from his back and would approach the last door left. As he opened up the door, Macradon would arrive at the entrance of a great hall, something like the throne room of a great castle. At the end of the room was a raised throne with a person sitting on the throne. The room has swords scattered around with their blade stuck into the cracks of the throne room’s floor.

As the figure stood up from the throne, Macradon finally realized who it was, his old self. All the sword around in the room were the old swords he had used back in the days. Starting off with a bright red and yellow dragon scale sword, the Final Demon would raise itself and rush up with a <Charge> towards Macradon, but what had changed since his old self to his current, was that his current self was much more battle hardened. Easily dodging the oncoming attack, Macradon jumped to the side out of ranged and close the gap again with his own <Charge>. With his Bullrush he would start the attack off with a hard shoulder bash. Since Macradon’s armor was better now, full plate instead of half plate and maille, the attack would have quite the effect. After the hard bash, Macradon would unleash his <Galaxy Destroyer> sword art and cleave a single time through the enemy. "What makes me stronger than you is experience!" Macradon roared out towards his old self.

His old self in his sallet helmet would be pummeled by Macradon’s furious strikes that the old self would’ve never been able to accomplish, Macradon was just too strong to compare the two with each other. The stunning Bullrush was a good setup for Macradon, he could get yet another attack in, getting another strike ready to devastate the poor shadow of himself. With yet another great cleave executing <Galaxy Destroyer>, Macradon would push the health bar of the final demon down to yellow health. With the connecting cut, Macradon would smile behind his visored Barbute helmet. “I’ve come this far compared to back then. Have I been pushing too much, or is it finally time to do the deed?” he thought for himself before he would take a step towards the staggering Macradon, readying another <Sword Art> against the poor thing. “Let me take you out of your misery” he said.

His other blow connected as well, not allowing the pitiful being to take any of the other swords around the room to fight Macradon with. Even demonic weaponry was part of the scattered sword, and while Macradon did have a Unique sword ready, he kept with his Redemption sword, nothing but damage enhancement, no demonic feature or unique enhancements. He would watch that after 3 heavy strikes with his strongest single hit sword art <Galaxy Destroyer>, his old self would fall to the ground, exhausted by all the damage dealt by Macradon in quick succession, so quick that he hadn’t had time to react in any way than being hit. “I guess this was why I was so weak back then. I wasn’t even able to truly do anything against an enemy with any decent speed to their attack” he said out loud, though not that loud. He pondered “Is this really how weak I was back then? No wonder I wasn’t able to do anything” he thought.
