'We have all gathered here, for the trial of this presumably witch, whom's name shall not be named until proven to be human. She will be tested by the blood challenge. She will be painted with 6 drops of blood from a person she doesn't like. We had only one volunteer. She who has preformed the arest herself, our one and only royal, Queenly!' The judged raised her book into the air, and rain started to fall. Queenly stood up, and once again greeted her fans. 'I shall make this noble offer, but only to protect my people from this witch!' She quickly made her way down stairs, ready to receive a lot of praise. 'please! People!' Lisai yelled from the top of her lungs. 'P-please! Just listen! I'm not a witch, I don't have powers! You all have seen my mother go through the same test as I have. She passed! She also had 6 drops of blood from her worst enemy spread upon her face, and she survived! Why would I be a witch, when she wasn't?!" Lisai's eyes were watery, and she was close to lose hope. 'if that's the case.' Queenly said. 'Then why won't you accept this test?" The crowd started to whisper. 'She's right, the kid must be a witch' 'But her mother did pass the test! What's that all about then?' 'Maybe her grandma was a witch?' 'Burn the witch! Burn the witch!' The crowd started to chant again. 'People please, as you can see, our witch is in iron chains. She has nowhere to go! I will let her do the test!' She rose her hands, in one she was carrying a small knife, the other one was a clenched fist.'First, I shall explain the blood test dor those new to this ritual!' Rain was still pouring down like never before.
The judge opened her book, and started to read out loud. 'Those we belong to the world of witches, have the weakness for blood of a pure heart. It's also stated that those who carry a heart like that, are more likely to be disliked by witches! If we add these statements, we can agree that the person a witch hates most, is most likely to carry a pure heart. Those with a pure heart carry light blood in their veins. This blood will burn away the skin from those submitted to sin. If the flesh melts, she is a witch. IF NOT! She is a human, and released from all charges. Is that clear to everybody?' The crowed fell silent. As everybody was too excited to see if the skin would burn. 'Wait! Queenly doesn't carry a pure heart, don't you all want to really see if i'm a witch?' Lisai spoke before she thought, she realised that she might have made more trouble instead of less. 'Excuse me? People of Pannack! Do not listen to this witch. I am true, an honest to the core! I as a royal carry nothing but loyalty to my people. While making this promise to my land, only seconds after I was born. I was granted a pure heart! Never have I wronged anyone! And to those who are still in doubt, you hurt my feelings. I have done nothing else but to protect my people!' 'Well, hold on just a bloody second, right there!' A big manly voice said. "All you people can't be serious here! Gnorx quickly jumped the stage. 'Are you all seriously considering to burn this poor innocent lass?' 'Peasant! If you seriously consider delaying this trial for more than just one second, I am forced to arrest you!' Queenly said 'are we clear?' She lowered her hands, and pointed the knife in Gnorx's way.
'Ah, shut up lass. Such a wee butter knife isn't going to hurt me. I 'ad one of those nice axes to me shinbone, but everything was solved after a nice cold beer.' Gnorx kicked the knife out of Queenly's hand, and grabbed her by her hair. 'You really think that a man like me would be scared of you? I lost me wife in that fire, and I'm not afraid to follow her. Just like I woulda done if she be alive. I've never been afraid of no thing. I stare death in 'is ugly face more than I'd like to admit. Id I can safe this poor lasses life, but take my own. I'm taking you with me!' 'let go of me! When this is over I'm going to murder you myself!' Queenly shouted 'you're acting against a royal! This is one of the highest crimes!' She kicked and pushed, but Gnorx pulled her up. She had no way to move, or escape. 'People, you all heard her talk. She doesn't care for Lisai being a witch, she only care for murdering and stuff like such. She is just a nasty blood thirsty lass! There is no way that she can have a pure heart, we oughta check her for being a demon!' Gnorx turned around, and pointed his wooden club to the judge. 'So, lassie. How about we do this another time, aye?' The judge looked up at the dark sky. 'Eh, sure. Why not. Why not next year, why don't we wait until we can burn her grand-daughter instead?' Gnorx growled angrily at the judge. 'Oh, boohoo. You're such a drama queen, Gnorx. Put a sock in it.' 'You what now, lass?' Gnorx tried to intimidate her, by moving closer to her. 'How about something you never seen in your life?' 'I beg your pardon? There is nothing that a dumb peasant like you could show me that I haven't seen before.' 'That's because you're married to a pig.' The judge hit Gnorx unconscious with the thick book she was holding. He fall back, dropping Queenly on the spot. 'Unless anyone else wants to interfere with this trial, we shall commence! Queenly, please continue so we can all go home.'
