Thud!! A book fell to the floor. "My Lady ,what's that?" Elenor asked curiously. "It's just a book , no need to be alarmed." Hattie replied as she bent to pick up the book. It was a rather strange looking book which was bound in red leather. It has various drawings of bones running along it's spine and it's title "Necromancy and the dark arts" was written in front of it, in gold. Hattie gazed at the book excitedly." This is it!" she thought to herself." I can finally bring my brother back from the dead." ______________________________________________ "There she is, just like I told you!" yelled the butler as he led the people to his mistress. "George?! You would dare betray me" exclaimed Hattie in utter disbelief. "I'd never be loyal to a witch" he replied. "Seize her !!" commanded the cleric. "All I want is to bring my brother back from the dead , please don't do this" she pleaded. "Silence witch! " the cleric yelled. "what business does the living have with the dead? Only a witch practices necromancy, it's a sin against the Almighty"."Guards!!! Take her away before she dooms us all". "No! let me go! You can't do this"Hattie struggled as two hefty men dragged her out of her home . "KILL THE WITCH! " "KILL HER!!!" the crowd chanted, waving their torches and pitchforks. Hattie was dragged to the village square to be burnt at stake. She was chained to a wooden pole and no matter how much she struggled she couldn't break free. "Call forth the executioner!!" the cleric yelled and a man dressed in black from head to toe made his way to where Hattie was chained , holding a blazing torch. The crowd parted to let him walk through . He got onto the stage and prepared to set the log on fire. "STOP!!" a voice yelled." I'm the one who told you she's a witch, so I should be the one to set her ablaze". "Very well then, come forth" the cleric beckoned. The owner of the voice moved to the stage and it turned out to be ....... "Elenor ? It's can't be! " Hattie screamed in disbelief. "But why? Why would you do this to me after all we've been through?". Elenor ignored Hattie, grabbed the torch from the executioner and set her mistress on fire. The crowd cheered as Hattie was burnt alive.

The skin on King Alfred's hands tore open but, Alfred wasn't bleeding or screaming in pain like normal human.

"Did you really think an insignificant insect such as yourself could kill me that easily?"

By this time, King Patrick was struggling to hold on to the handle of the axe.

Alfred snatched the axe right out of King Patrick's hands and threw it far away.

King Patrick fell to the floor. He sat on the floor staring fearlessly and warily at Alfred.

"Let me show you what I really am. "

Immediately he said those words, all his skin began to melt off exposing his bony skeleton. His eyeballs fell out of their sockets leaving them completely empty with a blue flame dancing in each eyesocket. His had no internal organs,special systems or even a heart.His chest cavity was completely empty.

King Patrick watched with terror and disgust written all over his face. He watched as Alfred approached him but, he stood his ground fixing the Expression on his face and refusing to show any fear.

He stood up and tried to punch Alfred who easily dodged his attack before pushing him to the ground. Alfred stepped on the King's chest, putting a lot of weight on his chest which caused blood to flow out of the King's mouth.

King Patrick could barely breathe, his chest felt heavy due to lack of air and his brain felt cloudy.

"I am not a mere mortal like you are. I am Alfred Durgid , the immoral Lich King. "

King Patrick later passed out due to the amount of pressure put on his chest by The Lich King's leg .

Elenor walked up to her King and bowed before him. In her right hand she held a handful of Queen Lorena's hair which she used in dragging her unconscious body. She threw the queen right next to her husband roughly.

"My Lord, you look magnificent " she praised.
