The angelic Watcher, Orpheus, has informed the young Endorian, Ian Fetter that he is the heir to the map and key, which will aid him on his mission to retrieve the secrets and golden seal that have been hidden for over five thousand years. Marco Gonzales, a federal officer seeks the truth about his own identity, and joins Ian. They travel to Europe to train under the mystic Endorian, Abbot Adrius, who reveals the true nature of evil, and the coming of the Dark Lord. Adrius solicits the help of Kasbar, the leader of the rebel forces, and his sidekick, Brother O'Leary, to find the command center of a space weapon that can destroy an entire city. Meanwhile, the Supreme Minister of Europe, Balarus, has joined forces with the evil Watcher, Toumus, to defeat the rebels, and create a new order by cloning a new, more powerful race of Goths in a chamber deep in the earth. Toumus has sent the Goth, Cronos, to stop Ian from retrieving the golden seal, and secure the map and key. On his mission, Ian will experience the trials and tribulations of the power of the forces of darkness, and will be betrayed by the one he trusts the most.
