Kingdom of Bones

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.

Warren pushed the door open and held it while motioning for King Alfred to go in.

King Alfred entered the room and stood at the center while his elite guards inspected every corner of the room. Once the room was declared secure, King Alfred finally sat on the bed.

Warren was about to ask the king if he needed anything but he was forcefully pushed out if the room by the head of king Alfred's knights.

The door was shut and the rest of the guards stood on both sides of the door, heavily guarding it.

"If I may , could I go in?". Warren said."I would like to ask his majesty if he needs anything".

"We'll let you know if he does" the head of the knights said curtly.

"Alright then , let me know if you need anything " Warren said before walking away. He had other duties to attend to in the castle.

The next morning after breakfast, the royal family of Ivory town and the king of Bonehelm went to a private room to discuss cooperation among their kingdoms.

"I'm extremely pleased that your kingdom is willing to cooperate with ours". Said King Patrick. They were all seated at a round table with the king sitting at the right side of the table with the queen and the eldest son, Matthew sitting at his other side .

The youngest son, Henry sat near King Alfred. The room was heavily guarded as the two rulers sat down to talk about business.

"I'm afraid you're quite mistaken , your majesty. You see, I didn't come to your kingdom for cooperation....I came here to take over your kingdom" King Alfred said lightly as if he was talking about the weather.

"YOU DARE!!!..." King Patrick began while standing up from his seat aggressively but his words were cut short as the blade of a sword was pointed at his throat.
