The Shadows Of Alabaster

A child in an orphanage

Raised in an Catholic orphanage Nathaniel Alabaster was just a 5 when he lost his family to a fire started by his father in a drunken rage. When he was sent to the orphanage called, "St. Noah." He was forced to read books of the Catholic faith as a way of teaching him the word of God. As he reached the age of 10 he was interested in books about exorcism. When he found a book in the abandoned part of the orphanage it was tattered, old, and worn yet the words were legible. When he was found his mentor was possessed by a demon Lord named Baal the demon looked at him and said dear child you do not know what you are messing with I Am The Demon King Baal. I am in line with Satan himself and I heard that you have a book that might ruin our future so hand it over NOW! Nathaniel looked at the demon and fear it opened up the tattered book starting to read the first words found within the pages in Latin with he taught himself well. He recited the words misit rex et daemon ium de hac anima ot pauperum fides in luscum. Which means cast thy demon king out of this poor soul and into faiths light. As Nathaniel decided that over and over again The Demon King Baal begin to chuckle in a hellish laughter. As this happen his mentor begin to raise up in the air with arms spread then stopping abruptly nodding his head down to poor Nathaniel's site and with a simple twitch Nathaniel was flung across the room with his arms and legs forward. With an abrupt stop he hit the wall on your side of the room with great force to the point where he was knocked unconscious. As he was unconscious he Dreamed a horrible dream it was a dream of seeing drunken father his mother mercilessly as he tried to save but to no avail so he ran out to the street when was found by homeless man who gave him shelter for the night. The homeless man's name was Bob Bobbitt he told poor Nathaniel that everything will be alright and we slept the night in the alleyway protected by Bob. As he woke Bob's gone but there was half a loaf of stale bread by Nathaniel side so he took it and went back home to see his father was asleep his mother was unconscious. He sneaked past his father to try to wake his mother as she woke she said, "are you okay my sweet baby." Poor Nathaniel nodded his head and help his mother up. As he search the drawers first aid kit he was able to find enough to partly banged his broken mother. She said, don't worry sweet child god will protect us both you'll see" *kisses him on the forhead*. As Nathaniel looked at his smiling mother he saw a glimering look in her eye so he wiped away his tears and smiled then hugged her. She said, ouch your hurting me then hugged back harder as she began to cry." Nathaniel said," to his mother it's ok you said god will protect us but will he protect dad from himself" his mother nodded mumbling hope so sweet Nathaniel... I hope so. As he woke up from his lucid dream he saw that the orphanage was on fire and Baal was gone. He summoned up the courage to grab the tattered book and have the the strength to lift himself up using the wall as leverage. As propping self up staggered, scared but okay then he begins to go around the building trying to find someone. Yet he found in horror as he sees his fellow children spread around floor with their faces down and their eyes wide open. As he tried to wake them up one by one he was unable grasping the book in his arm he screamed why shall I live why others die. Then he stopped crying he heard the cackling of Baal the one who did this person thing he put as a burden on oor Nathaniel who's lost everything but not the book he grasped in his arms tightly. Baal begin to push everything around him as he slowly made his way to him. As he grabbed the book tight he prayed help me God as you helped out others then in divine intervention the spirit of is what mother came down and went to the mentors body. As mentor begin the struggle as though there was a war waged inside his body you could hear the demon scream GET OUT OF HERE CURSED WOMAN I'M HERE FOR THE BOOK THAT YOUR CHILD POSSES! You can hear the Angelic voice of his mother saying, "run sweet child save yourself I'll be fine here just run." Nathaniel nods his head and begins for the front door as he ran he did not cry he did not panic but he was at peace. As you made it to the front door holding the book type he put his hand on the warm knob due to the building will be engulfed in flames and said"Thank You Lord made this book protect others like my mother protecting me." As he open the door he saw a crowd full of people and some of them we're trying to put out the fire. Nathaniel ran to the closest person and embraced it and come to find out it was the local preacher Bob Bobbitt. Bob looked at him saying I know a safe place to take you I know what you've been through and that book is of great importance and I will teach you how to use it to protect others. For now on you will not be raised as a child but a child of God an Exorcist then Nathaniel look up at Bob saying,"I guess there is a home for me after all."
