Chapter 1 humble beginnings

Accessing file .00000000001 time is the story of Helpomer. This is a multi-generational story about the stone burners and how they changed history as we know it. This is the story of the many people who have adopted my name and fought for justice. This is how I saw and you are free to have your own view all I ask is for you to listen. James Stoneburner’s early years were though. He was born on February 22, 1916 in a very poor hospital. His family were Italian immigrants but died before he could know them. His father died in mugging at the four points. Four points were the poorest of the poor lived in New York City. James mother died giving birth to him. They are in a place where I’ll never go. They are both in heaven but of course I can never know that I’m a ring. James having no family in this country went to an orphanage. He had good life at the orphanage but he had some trouble in it to. He had an attempt on his life when he was 1. The experience went like this. A demon appeared in the middle of the day. The staff was off attending other things. James was hungry at the time. When a semi solid demon made of flames came. It appearance was changing. One of the staff tried to open the door but the demon cast a spell to hopelessly jam the door. Unfortunately the staff member was Adina. She was a 22 year old teacher who worked the orphanage during the summer. She was 5ft 7ins tall and weighed about 140 pounds. She had long beautiful blond hair and a smile that told everything was going to be all right. She wear a quilted hood and a common silk dress right out of the 19th century. So was a modest woman never looking for much? She was a kind soul. She was heavily versed in Jewish mystism She used a wind burst spell to open the door. She was a sorceress and had the best ability of any of the magic types to do. The demon approaches James crib. Adina says don’t you touch him! The demon gives a laugh and says what you will do about it. James laughs and the demon turns the demon to diamonds. They were an uncut gem but still very valuable. It was more money than she had ever seen. She went to James and examined him. The magic off him was amazed. She used a spell to animate a broom and dust pan to sweep the diamonds into her purse. At that moment she was thinking extremely selfish thoughts, the more she tried to put these out of her mind the more they kept popping up in her head. She then formulated a plan for eternal wealth and life. When he reaches the age of 16 she was to change bodies with him and then use his vast supply of magic potential to generate all the gold with the create riches spell and then transfer to another apprentice. She adopted James Stoneburner and moved out of the area. She quit her teaching job. She went to Agam book store. Agam said Shalom Shalom. Agam help me I have been possessed by a demon. Agam said you know the chances of being successful at your age. You have a great chance to die and I know you adopted a child if you were to die… Adina said I know this voice in my head is slowly taking over. The voice is tempting me with things I would have never considered before. Agam said it’s something you have to deal with and remember to be faithful to god and he will help you in the most troubling of times. It’s time to tell a little about Agam. He is a 65 year old and was short at 5ft 2in. he weighed an incurable 200 pounds but was someone you could always agree with he was like a grandfather to almost everyone. He was a seer what in mystism circles is one of the most frustrating jobs there is. You can see and tell people the future but can’t interfere directly. He doesn’t ever complain though.The next 4 years were a relative peaceful part for James Stoneburner. Adina was nurturing parent maybe over nurturing him. She has started an alchemy shop. It was role what she excelled at and made lots of money at. She made a clone of him with the clone spell in case James was to die. She home schooled him so he couldn’t from any type of independence. One day James was acting weird. Adina said what’s wrong? James is no longer you’re to control. Adina tried to cast the exorcism spell. James attacked her breaking the spell. She couldn’t attack James in any other way. She felt what she called a weakness she loved him. She was even having second thoughts on the plan. She couldn’t do anything it was a one time a day spell. She only could try to dodge the blows James was trying to hit her. Her third form came out and flat out kicked James. James had to teleport away. This would great time to introduce one of Adina abilities. Adina has the power to split herself in multiple persons. It is a spell that allows you to live life without a certain personality trait. It allows Adina to live without the presence of the evil inside her.There are 3 different Adina Number 2 is the most loving of the 3. She has a great selflessness streak. She has a great affinity for teaching and very little interest in magic. She is starting to gain a fierce independence streak was asking by called Layssa meaning rational. It fit her she was normally rational about everything.The third form is a very evil one. She only cares for herself and what benefits her. She is the one forcing Adina to go through this enteral life scream. She also unlike the other wears the most outlandish clothing. She has now been asked Gavrilla. It means heroine which is funny she is the least heroic person I know.Gavrilla said you are truly weak you care for that creature. He is not a creature and I will not go through with it. At that point Gavrilla kicked Adina. Adina went back with a thud to the wall. She jumped up and did a kick of her own. Gavrilla was the better fighter and was able to block. Gavrilla head butted Adina. Adina went to spell magic casting fire ball. She was barely conscience and though it at Gavrilla.Gavrilla laughed and dodged it and said can’t fight fair I’m taking the clone and leaving.Adina finally lost consciousness as Gavrilla kicked her again right in the head. Adina was out for a couple of hours. The Layssa went home from work noticed Adina unconscious body on the floor. She noticed the bruising on Adina. She woke her up and Adina chuffed up blood. Layssa asked what happened here. Adina still in a daze we have to go to Agam. Layssa said what? Adina broke from her daze and said a demon took over are son. Are son that’s funny said Layssa. They both went to Agam’s book store though a portal. Adina vision blurred and a sharp pain went through her head. She staggered out of the portal. She had no coordination and was tripping. She started felling weak and fell over. Agam said oh my. Layssa went over to pick her up. Agam said fiddling with some keys over here. He took them to a dust covered room with two beds in it. Layssa put Adina on one of the beds in it. What is wrong with Adina asked Layssa. You will soon have the same problem you lost a part of yourselves permanently. Agam put out his arms and then Layssa started having the same problem. Agam said I know this day would come. What can I do now they are permanently separated from Gavrilla? She will never know how much that demon is affecting her and her judgment? I have no way to scy for James Stoneburner. So what is a seer to do? While Agam is debating his options when a blue demon comes behind him. It is a huge 10ft humanoid with ram like horns. He says in a deep dark voice Agam turn around! Agam did as he was commanded. I will give you some information you need for a little favor. Agam you know I can’t make deals with demons. It will help you in more ways than you now know. The demon Baal will have the power to usurp god if you don’t act. The Demon says if the Baal secedes in his plan to corrupt James it is not impossible. Just then using the wall to hold herself up Adina says where is my son? Tell me now commanded Adina. The demon laughed you are barely conscience and you think you can command. Agam commanded go back to bed. Adina cringing in pain says not till you tell me were James is. The demon says since you can’t do anything I’ll tell you. He is in the dreamlands. Adina then limped back to bed confident he was telling the truth. The demon laughed and said why she didn’t think to ask what level. Agam it is the 3rd level. The next morning Adina was woken by Layssa. She said we know what we have to do. For the first time in a while they recombined. All of what ailed her disappeared. Adina ran to Agam and Agam said you’re ready aren’t you and opened a portal to the 3rd level of the dreamlands. She stepped through and a bull rushes Adina. Adina creates a barrier but the bull rushes right through her. The bull stood on its hind legs and his front legs became arm and hands. Baal says not hear but 1 minute and you already died. Adina was in severe pain was very close to hitting her heart. She pulled herself of the horns of the bull as she gave a gasp. Her chances were slim but she was pulled out of the dream world. As she went to the normal world she passed out. She woke up in one of Agam’s beds. She was heavily bandaged and then it hit her she failed her gave son. She couldn’t go back in for another day and by that time James was surely his. She started to cry as the situation became unbearable for her. For the first time in her life she wanted to die. She had nothing left to live for. She thought of king Solomon built the temple mount using demons and was driven mad. She was going to be driven made. It’s a sin for her to take her own life but she has purpose. Agam said I’m sorry but I had to save you. Adina said regrettably you’re right. Agam said your mother is here. Kizzy was a woman looked older than she was. She was only 45 but she looked like she was 60’s. She was a demon fighter how had her share of battles. She had short white hair. She has the same style as her daughter. She had almost died many times. She was though and hardly ever comforting in any way. Kizzy commanded stop crying it not over. I came here to give you something but it’s clear you already gave up. You really are a terrible parent. Adina pissed off says excuse me I almost died it’s clear I can’t beat Baal. Her mother simply gave Adina her own purse and walked out. She started fiddling with the contents of her purse. She noticed in her enchanted bag she pulled out a suit of armor. It was a weird suit of bronze armor it was Israeli. There was a sickle sword it was of same make. The last thing she pulled out a shield wood and metal of ancient Israeli make. She noticed as she touched each of the items they decreased to her size and dimensions. Her mother said I hope it serves you well you will need it. Kizzy says it was given to King David before the conquest of Canaan. I can get you back in their … Adina said why you didn’t say that earlier. As she undressed and put on the armor. Her mother opened a portal and she went in. Baal in the same form said back already. She saw James in the corner of the room. Adina said I will give you one chance Baal give me back my son. Baal went to charge her. She swung her shield at Baal. She hit him and forced him about 3 feet back. Baal summoned a huge pole arm. She swung her sword at Baal. Baal blocked said you are a real amateur and you except to beat me in a fight. James the whole time is giving a blank stare. Baal swung overhead to try to hit the head. Adina blocked but then the shield hit the floor as her arm went limp. She could tell she had several broken bones. A few seconds later Baal used the pole arm to try to ram it through her body. He was successful in that venture. With two gaping holes in her chest and a worthless arm she starts to pray. Just then James said Mom and Baal were banished from there. James ran to Adina and Adina said coughing up blood do as I say. Say I want to go Agam. James did so and was teleported away. See tried to do the same but she lost conscience before see could finish. She woke up at Agam’s book store. Adina said I so hope this is not heaven is it? Kizzy went and hugged her only daughter. Adina said don’t squeeze so hard. As she lost all the air in her body after that hug. Adina looked weirdly as she never did this before. Adina then asked where James is. He is in the other room. She tried to get up and walk but then she collapsed as she found her leg was broken. Agam picked Adina up and put her in the bed. I don’t remember being hit in the leg said Adina. That’s the magic of the Armor of David you would be dead if it didn’t spread it to other parts of your body said Kizzy. You will be here for a while unfortunately said Agam. Adina only had the use her left arm. Kizzy said I’ll take James and take care of him and run the store. Adina was fiddling with a pewter ring that was given by her mother after her bat mitzvah. It said let god guide your path. She never looked at it in such wonder. She was wondering what it was for. Everything her mom ever gave her was for some alterative purpose. She never figured it out but she was determined to figure it out at any cost. She tried to put some magic into it. As a vision of Kizzy her mother showed up congratulations on finding true love. It took you long enough you finally find someone that you will do anything for. I would like to teach you to enchant this ring. Meanwhile at Kitty’s she is giving James anther ring like the one that was given to Adina. It was to be me in the future. She said I once gave your mother one after her Bat Mitzvah. She has never figured the mysteries of the ring. Go upstairs and play with it a little. Back at the Agam’s a Healer named Jacob came into the room. Hi Adina he said. He looked at her with a bit of lust and dread as he realized the extent of her injuries. Jacob was the most beautiful person Adina ever seen. He laid his hand on her right arm. He was going he had almost nothing to start with in her arm. He asked do you have the ability to move it at all. Adina tried but was unsuccessful and said no. He then moved to the left leg but it was as bad as the right arm. Then he moved to the right leg and it was even worse. The chest that has two wounds on it was where he would have to start. He put his hands on her chest and his hands started to glow. Then she lost consciousness based on the spell that was the point not to cause severe pain to her but she woke up in the most severe pain she ever felt moments later. Jacob left the room and went to Agam. Agam Jacob said there is no way to heal her. Agam a little confused said what the problem. Jacob said healing unfortunately brings back the pain of the wound when it was administered by Baal. She had the Armor of David at the time or she would be dead. So she can’t live though all the pain or she will die. Agam said she can’t be healed by magic then. I would like you to come over some more even though you can’t heal her. Jacob said I think I know why. Meanwhile James figures out how to activate the ring. Kizzy image shows up and says this is the time I teach you the basic of Alchemy. Alchemy can alter any object and change its properties. The first rule of Alchemy is that all items have empty space. You can fill that space with energy and imbue it with different properties. James asked what can an alchemist do that a sorceress can’t do. They have the ability to charge objects and discharge objects. Well first of all an alchemist has the ability to make these changes permanent and have more options on how to charge objects. As you increase in knowledge and power you will see that. In this world there are many different types of magical practitioners. The first type and what is considered the most powerful is the sorcerer or sorceress. They have the ability to cast the most powerful spells and rituals. They are not the most powerful just the easiest to grab power for themselves. The most famous example of a sorcerer is King Solomon. The second type is a seer. That is what I am. A seer is given visions by god and allowed to tell people. A seer can’t try to change history directly by killing the person or other such methods. Many people consider us the most disappointing and frustrating of any of the magic fields but I don’t think so. It allows you to talk to god. The most famous seer was Michael de Notre dame. A alchemist I have already explained. A divinest is casts holy spells and are mostly rabbis. Do you understand. Each type of mage has his or her own area of expertise. Now you go and play ok. The next day Adina woke up and noticed one wound in her chest was gone. It was the one where she was gored by Baal. A few moments later Jacob came in. Adina said one could get used to seeing you. Jacob said how are you feeling? Adina still not able to move anything except her head and her left arm lied and said I feel great. Jacob said I see that and any improvements. Yes the bull wound on my body healed thank you. Why did you stop yesterday. I need to get recover and get back to my son as soon as possible. Jacob said if I continued you would be dead. On another note well want to go get a bite to eat and maybe then catch a movie. Sure said Adina trying to pull herself up. I’ll pick you up at 7:00 p.m. Get ready ok and he left. Well Adina thinking to herself this is going to go bad. I can barely able to move my left arm and my head. So what am I going to do? She finally got herself to be able to lean on the wall. Then Agam came in the room. He said what are you doing. Adina said I’m tired of being here. Agam said you have to stay here. You are not in any condition to move. I know said Adina but I just want to see my son that’s it. A few hours later Jacob picked her up and they had a great night ……
