Patroklos driven by anger of his mother's unfortunate fate despite her devotion to the gods, led him to the temple of the gods floating in the skies
there he fought against gods' crowned hero, siegfried.

on behalf of his relentless battle with the hero of the gods, they gave him an opportunity to once again reclaim his mother's life. in limited time, he must venture to the depths of hades, to the elysian fields that lies beyond it.
upon entering the underworld just after he crossed lethe river, a gigantic hellish golem approach him who smelled alive. the golem turned out to be astaroth, more powerful than any other of his previous incarnation, due to him devouring souls that tried to escape from hell's gate. the unavoidable battle began in lethe's shore.

for the one who was favored by the gods, the hellish golem was nothing but a minor obstacle on his unstoppable path.
patroklos continued on his journey and reached the place where only the pure hearted may set foot on, the elysian fields. there he found his mother, definitely well and seemingly alive. it turned out that the gods could not bear to see sophitia suffered, they sealed her memories and hid her in elysian, not even soul edge's curse can reach her here. with her memories sealed, the gods saved her from the tears she would shed for being apart from her loved ones, rothion and her children.
unfortunately, this did not make things easy for patroklos to bring her back. despite his long explanation, she only saw the boy as an intruder in elysian fields, and she readied her sword and shield. with the very limited time that he had, patroklos knew that he must exhaust her in some way to make her listen to him. he hesitantly lifted up his sword to the air and his heart ached with every blow he dealt to his beloved mother.
battle location: elysium

exchanging blows with her son, sophitia recalled her memories of her past battle, although little by little. she suddenly stopped swinging her sword once she remembered the sole reason of her fighting back then, her loving family. patroklos sheated his sword inside his shield and told sophitia that the of them must leave the place soon, for the gods can only bend the cosmic rules for a limited time. with her family in mind, the elysian field which any mortal men strife so hard to get into, seemed meaningless in her eyes. patroklos grabbed her mother's wrist and ran with her to once again reunite with their family.
with the absence of sunlight in hades, their escape was only being guided by fireflies that illuminate the narrow pathway. on their way, sophitia felt a presence, an evil presence that she once felt long time ago. after trying hard to remember, her usual loving face turned to hate. patroklos asked her about it. ignoring his son, she attacked the figure in the shadows that had been following them. sophitia knew perfectly well about this evil woman since this woman was the one who brought misfortunes to her family.
asking patroklos to step aside, she delivered blows after blows to tira
battle location: firefly forest
battle music: Gods Bound by Rules
what is tira compared to the power of sophitia? did not want to repeat her mistake by letting tira alive, this time sophitia put an end to tira with her Angel Strike.
ending: they were back home, sophitia baked breads for her children, a treat that's been long overdue, the house was filled with smiles and laughters..
*Sophitia is now unlocked*
