It had taken a while to find this man, this self-proclaimed member of the Orlouge clan. Daelus Orlouge, as he had been called, was allegedly a Mystic with the same blood of the Hero of Radasanth, Sei Orlouge. The difference was that while Sei provided good for Althanas as a whole, Daelus only challenged and killed people with his glass based spells.

Sei had heard tales of this man, found it odd that somebody of his clan wished for such a mundane life. Also, the fact that this Daelus did not use neither types of Mystic magic did not sit well with the orange haired hero. As a result, the Mystic hero gathered up a party of his Ixian Knights to try and track down this monster of a Mystic.

The first choice Sei had come across was his best friend, Kylin Rouge. The red haired warrior made for a good partner when paired with Sei. Furthermore, if Daelus did show an affinity for either Light or Shadow Mystic magics, Sei would have a counter ready. Kylin's ability with shadow magic would be a great asset should Daelus prove to be a wielder of the light, much like Sei's light based skills would defeat any shadow magic.

The next member of his quartet was Ruby La Roux. Sei had found himself enamored with the red haired vixen as of late. Duffy Bracken's sporadic appearances around Ixian Castle, as well as the various lengthy talks that the Mystic had held with Miss La Roux had sparked rumors. Most of these allegations were dismissed by Ruby and Duffy, as they were more so an item than Sei and well, anybody. Her spell singing ability would do wonders for backing up either of the Mystics should this become a battle of wizardry.

The last, most volatile member of the group, was the man who most simply called Dan. He was the Slayer of the Rot, and one of Duffy Bracken's Reformation Team members. Sei had reunited with the man, who served in Sei's previously formed Radasanth Alliance army, while fighting the Thayne Hromagh. Dan had proved his powerful just as formidable now as it was back in those days. Should the fight come down to a war of the physical, Sei planned to let the Rotslayer do his thing, and tear through anything in the group’s way.

Now, the four stood in the crystalline cave of Daelus Orlouge, feeling the intimidating presence of the self-proclaimed Mystic. An eerie wind blew through the translucent cavern, almost an omen to not engage the wizard. "I hope you're all ready," Sei warned his three warriors, "Lead the way, Dan."
