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.

The doors were pulled open and a lady stepped in. She was wearing a simple black dress with a high collar, green necktie and long black sleeves. She also had on a large hat which covered the entire left side of her face and blood red lips.

Of course none of the prisoners even knew what she had on, not to mention what she even looked like. They all kept their heads lowered as they were told to.

The lady walked into the room and began to inspect the prisoners. Her eyes were scanning the prisoners with great interest as she walked back and forth. She stopped when she was satisfied.

"Kenward, are these the prisoners you captured? "

"Yes, Lady Elenor. I hope they're to your liking."

"Not bad...except, I have no use for the old people ." Elenor said."Feed them to the zombies. " She then took off her hat exposing her disturbing face.

A few skeletons came forward and dragged all the old people out of the ballroom to be fed to the hungry zombies.The old people resisted and kicked as they were dragged away by the skeletons.

While the old people were dragged away, no one dared to make a sound of protest. They all kept their heads down .

"You've done well Kenward. "Elenor praised Kenward.

"Thank you my lady. " Kenward said bowing before her.

Elenor pointed at three girls and said to Kenward "Brimg them forward ". She pointed at Vivian and two other girls.

The girls were brought forward and Elenor said to them. " As of this moment, you three will be in charge of making sure my study is in order."

"Yes miss. " They stammered.

"DON'T EVER CALL ME MISS! You will address me as 'My lady'. Do I make myself clear? "She asked.

"Yes my Lady." The three girls said in unison with their heads still lowered.

Elenor continued to separate the rest of the captured prisoners into their respective duties.
