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."

"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!

"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.

However, Archie never made it to the wagon. He noticed Michael was having a hard time, taking care of the creatures all on his own was no easy task and a few of these creatures evaded his attacks and tried to enter the church through the hole the Bishop made in the barrier.

Archie thought about all the people inside the barrier Including the children. There and then, he made up his mind and rushed to defend the barrier.

He used his magical weapon which consisted of a pair of black gloves which had orange gems on each digit. The gloves when activated forms a giant , solidified pair of sharp claws which were orange in colour.

Using his claws, Archie slashed the creatures who managed to get past Michael into chunks of blood and bones.

Viola noticed that Archie was no longer behind her and was instead defending the church alongside Michael. She stopped to offer assistance .

"Archie!!" She yelled bringing out her hammer.

"It's okay, I've got this. You go on ahead." Archie slashed a stray zombie to pieces instantly killing it.

"I can't just leave you here!"

"Go! don't worry about me. I'll be fine"

Viola nodded. "We'll come back...I promise!" She said putting her hammer away.

Archie nodded back at her and Viola went to join the others who had already gotten on the carriage and were waiting patiently for her to join them.

When everyone was aboard the carriage, they turned around and took one last look at the church. Mordecai spotted Michael and called to him "Michael!!!"

Michael was grateful to Archie for volunteering to help. He had just destroyed a skeleton's core when he heard his name being called and he looked in the direction of the caller.

"The reaper skeleton...." Mordecai yelled.

"What about it?" Michael yelled back. He raised his shield and used it to block an attack from a zombie.

"It has three cores hidden in three different parts of its body. You have to destroy all three to kill it!"
