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.

" Father! "

" Patrick!"

" Father !"

The sword that was pointed at the king Patrick's throat was placed there by the King Alfred's most trusted subordinate who was the head of the knights.

"Stop this madness at once!. Guards! Guards!!" King Patrick yelled trying to summon his guards but to his surprise none of them answered or even responded to his call.

"Go ahead....Scream a little louder maybe someone would hear you."King Alfred taunted mockingly.

"Impossible! What have you done to the guards?" Prince Matthew asked in shock.

"Oh, they're all dead. That's all." King Alfred replied lightly.

"You're lying!!"

"What I'm saying is absolutely nothing but the truth. It's up to you whether you believe it or not . I killed all your servants and replaced them with my own."

FLASHBACK; The night before;

Immediately Warren left, the head of the knights was summoned by King Alfred. The head of the knights knocked the door and entered the room and saw the king lounging on the bed.

The head of the knights walked to the bed and knelt down at the foot of the bed, head bowed.

"Your majesty, you called?"

"Yes , I did". The king gazed at the head of the knights. "You may raise your head Elenor".

"Yes my Lord" She said and raised her head.

"Take off your mask "

Elenor reached up and removed the hood of her cloak. Next, her hands touched the surface of the black mask which she put on and she lifted the mask up and took it off.

Her long blonde hair dropped down almost covering her whole face.

The king stretched out his hand and used his fingers to brush the hair away from her face "Look at me" he commanded and she obeyed looking into his eyes.

"Beautiful" he whispered softly.
