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.

" Sis! , quit being so judgemental" said Vivian as she smacked her sister's arm playfully." He's a king so obviously he can decorate his carriage with whatever he wants."

"I hear those bones are from the people he defeated"

"No way! that's ridiculous. "

"It's not possible, is it?"

"Look at all the weapons, so scary"

The crowd mummured amongst themselves and watched the carriage silently, till it went out of sight before dispersing.

"Bonehelm huh?! I wonder where exactly that is".

Viola and Vivian headed back to the workshop with Nigel trailing behind them.

"Well, I have to get back to the bakery" he said.

"That reminds me ; you were saying something earlier. What was it?" inquired Viola.

"Nah....it's nothing serious, I just brought you some brownies,that's all" he replied and extended a box filled with brownies towards her.

"Oh....No....I...I can't accept this". Vivian refused to accept the box and instead pushed it back to Nigel.

"It's fine, really. You can think of it as a gift since we're both neighbors"

"Thank you Nigel, really" she thanked him and finally accepted the box.

"See you around then!"

"Okay, bye " Viola waved at Nigel as he went into his bakery.

"He likes you" Vivian commented smiling at her sister wierdly." I saw the way he was looking at you".

"What does a brat like you know about liking someone? Viola teased.

"I will have you know that I am a love expert".

"Love expert indeed" said Viola sarcastically.

She opened the brownie box , took a few and gave the rest to her sister. It was super delicious, chewy with a melted chocolate center .

"Wow he's a really good baker"

"Better hurry up and marry him sis, I want free brownies"

"Such a foodie. Careful not to get fat" Viola warned.

"Don't worry, I will never grow fat . That's my superpower you see, no matter how much I eat I never grow fat." Vivian replied as she stuck her tongue out.

"If you say so" replied Viola as she started tidying her workshop and putting it back in order.
