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.

"No, it's like a support kind of magic. I can boost the performance of anything I touch. "

"That's amazing! "Henry said.

Cecelia rolled her eyes, wondering how she encountered this unique group of people."Now that secret sharing time is over, can we focus on our current situation? "

"Well, we go back to the castle, defeat the Lich King and take back our kingdom! " Prince Matthew said.

"And rescue my sister. " added Viola.

"That's right! " They all agreed except Cecelia as usual.

"In case you've forgotten, the Lich King is and i quote 'immortal' as in, he cannot die unless we find that phylactery thingey which by the way we don't even know where it could be! Not to mention he has an entire army of undead creatures. How the hell are we going to defeat him? " Cecelia ranted." I don't know about you guys but I still want to live."

"Cecelia is right, we can't just charge into the castle like that we will be executed. What we need is a plan. "Viola said." First of all, how are we going to get into the castle? "

"There's a secret entrance which me and my brother used to escape the castle, we can use it to get back into the castle. " Matthew suggested.

"Its perfect, the entrance leads directly into the dungeon. Maybe, we'll even find your sister there Viola." Henry said excitedly.

"So we just enter the castle, find your sister, find out where the Lich King's phylactery is, defeat him and then get out." Nigel said.

"But, what if we run those wierd creatures? What do we do then?" Archie asked Mordecai with concern. He didn't want anyone to die.

"I've got that covered. Undead creatures can only be killed with magical weapons or weapons covered in holy water and unless you're okay with breaking into a church to steal Holy water, then magical weapons is your best bet." Mordecai unhooked a small leather pouch from his belt and opened it up. Inside the pouch were jewellery like earrings, rings and necklaces.
