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 NEXT DAY;

Mordecai and the team all agreed to leave the church since the children were safer here. They said goodbye to the kids who began to cry and headed out of the church along with Deacon Ulric.

The priests and deacons who were outside earlier were still there. However, they seemed to have changed shifts.

Michael was a little distance from the church, where he stood facing the barrier. His face an emotionless mask. He watched the army of supernatural creatures attack the barrier continously even though their attacks just bounced off the barrier and did no damage all.

Viola walked up to him and stood right next to him, calmly gazing at the undead creatures ahead.

"You're really going out there? " Michael spoke up, staring sideways at Viola's face and shifting his eyes back to the undead creatures when he was done looking at her face.

"Hn" She grunted still looking straight ahead.

"Why? I mean you can just stay here. Its safe "

"There's someone out there waiting for me...someone I can't abandon. Someone I need to rescue. "

"Oh...is it someone you love?"

"Yes..Yes, it is." Viola nodded.

"Oh....."

Michael felt disappointed. He had no idea why he felt so unhappy. He turned to Viola and was about to speak when he heard his name being called. "Michael!! ,you have been summoned by the Bishop. "

"The Bishop calls." Viola finally turned to look at Michael. Michael stared at her for a while then, suddenly he turned away and rushed to answer the call with slightly pink ears.

The Bishop stood at the top of the church stairs and turned to address the people Michael who made his way up the stairs.

Michael joined the Bishop at the top of the stairs and turned to face the crowd which were gathered at the foot of the stairs.

"Michael, as you have accepted the great responsibility of defending the church against those evil creatures, I bestow upon you The Armour of God. It will aid you in battle. " The Bishop said and beckoned to a group of priests who were bearing the parts that made up The Armour of God.
