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. Her screams of agony was like music to their ears and they all dance and celebrated her gruesome death. ______________________________________________ 200 years later; Ivory port , a small steampunk city is visited by a rather peculiar royal envoy.

Mordecai opened the vial and chugged down it's content. After five seconds, he began to glow and then he transformed into an exact replica of a skeleton guard.

"How did you do that?!" Henry asked fascinated. "It was the potion, wasn't it?"

"Yes, the potion is called an illusion potion. Once you drink it you only have to think of what you would like to become and then....POOF!"

"You're a skeleton now, not bad." Viola remarked.

"I cannot believe you chose to transform yourself into a walking piece of dry bone. So disappointing. " Cecelia said with distain in her voice.

"Cecelia!" Nigel said.

"What! I'm only saying the truth. "

"I know but do you have to be so...so..." Nigel said. He was trying to come up with words to qualify her.

"Pessimistic " Viola suggested.

"Sarcastic " Matthew added.

"Judgemental " Henry also added.

"I don't know about you guys but I refuse to pretend everything is going to be okay when it's obviously not! We are all honestly and completely fucked and you all know it. " Cecelia said refusing to back down.

"Alright, Alright. Everyone needs to chill, okay? " Mordecai was trying to meditate the situation and prevent it from escalating any further. " Fighting isn't going to solve anything. Let's just focus on the plan, please."

"okay"

"Alright "

"If you say so."

"Thank you!" Mordecai said gratefully.

The group climbed into the cage and Mordecai locked it to make it seem nore believable before going to sit in the driver's seat and leading the wagon to the castle.

On getting to the castle gates, they discovered that their wagon wasn't the only one going to the castle. There were a lot of wagons lined up in an orderly manner trying to gain entry into the castle.

A lone skeleton checked the wagons before granting them access into the castle gates.

If you had an illusion potion, who would you want to turn into and why??
