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.

The children were taken away and cared for by the other priests and deacons who were in the church while Viola and the rest followed Deacon Ulric.

They were led into the main church where the Bishop was. The Bishop looked like a miniature version of Santa claus only without the beard. He had snow white hair , Harry Potter glasses and baby blue eyes. The Bishop was dressed in a white vest and suit coat which had a small gold pectoral Cross and chain between the vest and suit coat.

The Bishop was on his knees before the altar of the church fervently praying , seeking the guidance and counsel of God.

Beside the Bishop knelt another man. The man was a built man dressed in a loose white top, black pants and black boots with a skin as dark as chocolate.

Deacon Ulric along with Viola and her group stopped a little distance away from the altar, waiting for the Bishop.

The Bishop finished his prayer and then rose up from the foot of the altar where he was kneeling. He lifted a small bowl which was filled with anointing oil and anointed the man.

"Just as Angel Michael is the helper of the church's armies against the attacks of the devil, so shall you also fight to protect this church. Arise Michael! (his name is also Michael) you are anointed with the courage of Angel Michael in the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit. Amen!"

"Amen!"Deacon Ulric said.

Michael rose to his feet and turned to face the group. Viola and the rest finally got a good look at Michael as he faced them. Michael was dark skinned with golden eyes and tangled locs. It was the first time any of them saw a dark skinned person and they gawked at him in awe.

Michael headed out of the church.While leaving, his golden eyes met Viola's brown ones.

Michael and Viola's eyes meet.

Me: oh lala, Is this love?

Also me: I suck at writing romance or fluff (●__●)
