Synopsis
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.

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.

Chapter 1 - Chappie 1

Ivory port was a medium sized kingdom located in the Golden desert.

The city was surrounded by tall metal walls which protected the kingdom against attacks.

The only way to get into the kingdom from the outside was if the gates were opened or using hot air balloons.

The gates of the kingdom were always closed and never opened except on special occasions.

Inside the kingdom however, was rather fascinating. It was filled with oddly shaped buildings of different shapes and sizes.

The buildings were also adorned with gears, bolts and metal ornaments of various designs .

Fashion was also very unique in Ivory port;

The women could be seen wearing corset dresses, gloves, bloomers and lace up boots.

Men however wore top hats, jackets, tailcoats and goggles.

Transportation was also evolved in Ivory town; there were steam powered locomotives, which were fueled by burning materials like coal or wood to produce steam which powers the machine.

Also, there were horse carts and hot air balloons. However, the use of hot hair balloons by regular civilians were banned and only guards were authorized to use them to patrol the city from above.

In this kingdom lived a twenty year old mechanic, Viola Wallace. She had brown hair which was styled in a pixie cut and brown eyes.

She had a fifteen year old sister, Vivian who was a very playful and mischievous girl. Vivian on the other hand, had bright orange hair and brown eyes.

Viola operated a small garage named Wallace mechanics.

The garage was actually a small house in which the front was converted into a workshop and Viola and her sister lived at the back.

The workshop was right next to the kingdom's most famous bakery, Elven treats. It was a very popular bakery which was always full of customers and the desserts from the shop was very expensive.
