                             - 1 -


    "... Long ago, when more evil every land trampled,
when magic is still not regarded as something sverhestennym, 
and there was This story ...



    ... It was evil. Universal evil. Demon was the evil, and 
his name Beelzebub. Druids put him in seven stones. And there 
was no evil ... 


    Much water has flowed since then. Much time has passed. But 
here, One day, one crazy magician stole seven of these stones 
and fired Beelzebub out for its dark glory. And once again 
became evil. AND was even stronger than before. And the day is 
approaching universal groan and crying - Judgement Day ... But

    - ... Well, for today - said Iron and slammed
book. Until tomorrow, - his whole appearance, he showed that he 
must go. - What, Iron, until tomorrow ... - His mysterious

companion got up and went ... No, it flew
low to the ground in the forest. He slowly moved his
Steps could be heard, and as soon as he reached the woods - has 
disappeared in light sparkling haze.



    "A strange type" - thought aloud Iron. "Is he not
read? "Iron did not know that he himself would have
answer these questions. He turned and was about to leave,
when suddenly his eyes riveted book, with proceeds from her
a strange glow. His irresistibly drawn to this
book, he wanted to open it and read it. Read here
now until the end. In Irona appeared foreboding that the book 
Sia its future is that it - the answers in it - his whole life 
... He chased away all these thoughts and, having overcome 
himself, shouted in an unnatural voice:



    - Hey! You wait! .. Did you forget your book!


    ... But there was no reply, and in my heart, thanks for the 
Iron this is god. It was incomprehensible joy, and at the same 
time, the bitterness their sense of strength and power and a 
sense of his spiritual powerlessness. He felt something 
special: Iron knew and at the same time could not predict what 
lies ahead, there is a tomorrow's sunrise.




                             - 2 -



    He turned around and went home. Iron was eager to learn
what is there in this book. He trotted a quick step toward
village. Soon, his steps turned to run. He fled. Ran
as if afraid to miss something. Soon, he realized: he must both
You can probably read it - this mysterious book. He understood
that would be too late, and then everything will be different, 
quite differently. Confused thoughts in his head. Iron nothing

understood ... From exhaustion, he fell on the porch ...


    "Hurry, hurry," - Iron hurrying himself. Finally, he
plunged into the endless country pages of the book. He read and
recognize themselves. Themselves - good lad of eighteen,
parents called Iron in honor of his grandfather - James Irona -
Iron James. And really - Iron grew stronger and stronger
guy ... eighteen years. On the day of his eighteenth birthday, 
he chuvtstoval himself in a strange way. Now he experienced the 
same feeling that six months ago. His shrouded in 
incomprehensible thoughts some voices and images flashed 
through his mind. Iron understood that it - he said, but did 
not recognize myself. The book discusses the a young man who 
was destined to conclude Beelzebub seven stones ... but the 
last pages had been torn, and quite in a strange way - as if 
they never existed. In their place was not characteristic of 
scraps - there was nothing. "Maybe this unfinished book? 
"thought Iron." Not-for-con-che-na, no ... no ... "those words 
were carried by echo, swirling in his head. Finally, he closed 
the book. Iron felt exhaustion, but felt its power. He put the 
book on the table and went to sleep. But him to sleep that 
night did not ... 



                             - 3 -



    Iron could not close his eyes, flashed before him
unknown persons whose images. He thought about the book.

    And, finally, fell asleep. And he dreamed a dream. He 
dreamed that in the book, but instead of a guy he was - Iron ...


    Sleep was interrupted at the same place as the book. Iron
I heard some sounds. He sprang to his feet. Outside the window
melkakli silhouettes with torches. Suddenly, the glass 
shattered and the window thrust hideous face! From the window 
of snarling head sticking out! The door was ready to break with 
the loops ... 


    Heard some horrible sounds like growling bear. Sleep or no 
sleep? Iron had no time to think. Zip climbed to the attic and 
jumping out of the attic window was behind home. He ran. He ran 
as fast as he had never ran. Here he is saving the forest. Iron 
ran into the forest, which is called "Mystery Forest". 
Previously, he was afraid of him, because walking rumors that 
it lost people, but now it was not until this. Once he leaned 
against a tree, so take a breath, as immediately felt dizzy. He 
sat down. Iron felt like it wobbles, but he was unable to resist

this. His eyes rolled and he lost consciousness ...


    He woke up in a cool, dark cave, lit only
dim light of a fire that burnt in the far corner. Some
like creature on his last night of a new friend
underlay wood in the fire. Iron tried to get out of couches, but
such as being stopped him: - Lie down, my young friend. In you
not enough power.


    Several of his brothers as a whisper in the center of the 
cave. Finally they called the highest of them (like the 
principal) and handed him a bucket. He gave his Iron: - Drink, 
this is for you help. Iron not without a fright took a bucket 
and drank hot greenish liquid. His throat was burning stronger 
and stronger. Iron clutched his throat with his hands. - Well, 
well, what have you. Now it is will pass and you will feel 
better, so affectionate tone a bit reassured Irona. He lay 
down, closed his eyes and slept soundly. 


    Three days later, Iron, finally woke up. He felt
much stronger. Iron rose from the stove and caught myself
that he is now much easier. Completely silent to the Iron
went one unknown, heal it. "Somewhere I have already
seen, "thought Iron and immediately answered himself:" Well, of 
course, is is the same stranger. who gave me a book. "- I

sorry, murmured Iron. - Your book is in my home. Night with me
someone was bursting, the window was sticking someone's face 
... Oh-oh-s ... head Irona still ache a little, despite the 
fact that, in general, he felt quite normal. Iron vaguely 
remembered that happened that night, everything was so vague. 
But he also strained his memory.


    - Excuse me. The book has remained there ...

    - Nonsense, - the stranger got out and after a few seconds
returned to the book.

    - That's it.

    - This book is for you! - Exclaimed the Iron. - I read it 
that night. And you know - Iron switched to a whisper, I heard 
it ... YOURSELF! 

    The stranger smiled:

    - Yes, boy, this is so.

    - How so? - Iron does not understand.

    The stranger sat down opposite the stove, with a gesture 
calling Irona to do the same. The young man realized that the 
stranger wants to say something very important and interesting.



    - In fact, my young friend, that this young man in the book 
- you. 

    Amazement Iron opened his mouth.

    - Yes, my friend, this is so.

    - That is ...

    - Yes, you have to sign a seven Beelzebub
stones. Iron was surprised even more.

    - But I'm ...

    - Do not worry - The Stranger as if reading his thoughts, - 
you very strong and powerful. You'll find the stones and your 
magic force will grow. Once you find the seventh stone, you

will already be strong enough to conclude the demon back. Well
yet, find at least a second stone.

    - A first ...

    - First? Here he is - with these words stranger handed
Iron small glowing stone.

    - Take care of it. Lose - trouble.

    - I'll keep it. I will find other stones. I will not fail
you.

    Thank you for everything ... Oh yes, you can be two more 
questions? 

    - Of course, my young friend.

    - You are the Druids of the book?

    - Yes we are, young man. And what's your second question?

    - You ... know how to read? ..

    - Well, of course. The book we gave you for what you 
yourself would sort things out. Sooner or later, you still 
would get to us. 

    - Can a third question?

    Druid nodded.

    - Who me then was bursting at the door. Well, that is ... 
Whose it was the muzzle?


    - It lendory - servants of the Dark Magician. He got over 
them power, firing out of Beelzebub. They are pretty dumb and 
not worth Labour to deceive them. Now go. Good luck to you, my 
young friend. 

    - Thank you again for everything. Goodbye.

    Druid showed him a way out of the cave. When the Iron came 
out, before him rose the forest. Treetops clinged cloud

sun lit the green grass. Iron turned ... Caves are not
was.



                              - 4 -



    He stepped onto the path leading to the river bank. Iron sat
watched the sunset. He knew what was over the book. And he
had to finish these last pages ...
