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 reaper screeched in agony, it was so weak that it had a lot of trouble standing properly.

Michael took advantage of this moment of weakness to move in front of the reaper and destroy the last core embedded in the reaper's knee.

The reaper screeched even louder, it's bones started rattling and dismantling themselves from their normal positions before turning into powder.

In the midst of the powder, a black butterfly flew out of it. Archie caught it with his claws and destroyed it before it could escape.

"You did it!" Archie praised Michael.

"No, we did it...together. " Michael said with a smile on his face ."It was through the grace of God. "

Michael walked up to Archie and patted his shoulder with his right hand. "Thanks man, you know.....for everything. "

"Glad I could be of service."

Michael took a step, swayed and collapsed against Archie. Archie hurriedly held him up. "Michael! Michael! Open your eyes! Stay with me man! Don't die on me, don't you dare die on me!" He yelled carrying Michael into the church to the doctors.

Some of the priests retrieved the shield and the Bishop finally closed the hole in the barrier.

MEANWHILE,

Viola and the rest finally proceeded to the second phase of their plan which was to sneak into the castle.

"Once they see it's not a skeleton driving this wagon, we'll get captured for sure." Cecelia remarked.

"Don't be such a pessimist. Have some faith will ya, I'm sure that we will be fine" Matthew said to which Henry nodded.

Mordecai turned to look at Cecelia. "Who told you a skeleton won't be driving this wagon?"

"In case your memory is lacking, we killed all the skeletons remember? " Cecelia continued attacking Mordecai.

Mordecai ignored her and pulled out a little vial which had a milky white substance in it. He held it up so everyone could see. "See this? This is our ticket to get into the castle undetected. "
