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.

Please, have mercy" He begged and looked up , before being stabbed several times till he died.

The kitchen was filled with the nauseating stench of blood as dead bodies littered the floor.

All the dead bodies were taken to the dungeons and every last drop of blood was cleaned up. The dead servants were replaced with substitute from King Alfred's loyal guards.

After all that , the night was peaceful and no one could have ever imagined that a massacre had just taken place.

END OF FLASHBACK.

After listening to the events that had taken place, the royal family were horrified at his heartless behavior. He killed people as if they were insignificant.

"Monster!!.... You're a monster!." Matthew stood up from his seat in anger and glared at King Alfred. Matthew was itching to just beat this man up especially, since he said it with such pride.

Over two hundred people were killed last night . Those people had families, dreams and hopes but they were cut short by a raving lunatic who only wanted bloodshed.

"How could you do such a thing? Don't you feel any remorse, guilt... ANYTHING!!!"

"And what would you have me do? Huh? Cry ?

Go on my knees and beg for forgiveness for killing people I didn't even know? Surely, you don't think I'm that weak." asked King Alfred.

"How could you even think like this?! How could you even live with yourself?" Matthew asked staring at King Alfred, absolutely disgusted.

While king Alfred was distracted , Queen Lorena shared a look with King Patrick and before anyone knew what was happening, she kicked the sword out of Elenor's hands.

Then, the queen pulled out two Dragon Breath pistols from her dress and aimed it at King Alfred and Elenor.

King Alfred looked at the queen and burst out laughing. "Well, isn't this cute? What are you going to do ? Huh? Shoot me?"
