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.

"Listen here, you little muck snipe. I don't care if your father owns the fucking moon. Don't you ever touch me inappropriately!"

"Y...Y...You! How dare you!?" Yelled Gabe trying to extract himself from her grip.

"Shut up!!" growled Viola.

She slammed him against the locomotive again and reached up to take the pencil which was tucked behind her ear.

Viola pressed the sharp end of the pencil against one of his tallywags.

"Keep yelling and I'll shove this pencil right through one of your balls". Her threat made Gabe shiver in fear.

"Luckily, you have two so I guess it won't be bad if you lose one"

Gabe raised his head and stared at Viola. He was completely horrified. "Gabe, you stupid idiot, what kind of devil did you provoke?!" he thought to himself.

"Do you understand what I'm hinting at?"

"Y...Yes....Yes, very well. I promise I'll never bother you again. In fact , you'll never see me again please!"

"Good." Viola said and let go of his collar." Now SCRAM!!!!".

Immediately she let him go , he scrambled into his locomotive and drove away. His white shirt dyed red with his blood.

Knock! Knock! . The workshop's door was knocked on."Is everything alright? I thought I heard noises."

The owner of the voice strode into the workshop. It was the owner of Elven treats bakery, Nigel Glass.

Nigel was a well built young man with snow white hair and emerald green eyes. He was twenty two years old , very handsome and mysterious as well. No one knew where he came from or who his family was and his ears were always hidden .

However, he was an excellent baker whose confections brought joy and satisfaction to his customers.

Due to his appearance, he attracted quite a large number of ladies who trooped into the bakery to watch him bake. I mean who wouldn't love a man who could bake.

"Good morning Viola" Nigel leaned against a wall and smiled at her warmly. "Where's Vivian?"

"Good morning Nigel, she's probably in the house somewhere " Viola replied before starting to put her tools back in order.

"What brings you here , early this morning?"

NOTES:

1) Muck snipe : person of low morals

2)Tally wags: testicles.

Why do you think Nigel is hiding his ears??
