"You remind me of the famous witch hunters, Hansel and Gretel." He watched her carefully.
"I do?" She faked a surprise.
"Yes...so pray tell, what will you do if you came across a witch or warlock?"
Her eyes scanned the area first before they rested on him again. A smirk appeared on her face as she gave a reply.
      "I'd burn 'em to ashes milord."
...

      Cries filled the air, cries of women, children and men who were caught up in the fire or who lost a loved one. It was a horrible and grievous night...many died.
      A little girl lamented and wailed out loud for her mother, she had a terrible ghastly and painful burn at her left foot. No one answered her, no one paid heed to her.
Amidst the sorrowful weeping of people, four brothers where instructed by their parents to escape as fast as they could.
While running, one spotted the little girl and went to help her without minding his brothers continuous shout of disapproval.
       "Hold on tight, make sure you don't let go!"
The boy instructed the girl and she nodded with teary face while tightening her hold round his neck so she wouldn't fall off his back. The five tried as much as they could to escape.
What happened that night left a deep scar.
       But who would've thought that these young youths would grow up differently. No one...
They ruled over a small village, they became strong and shared an unbreakable bond...but will that bond last?
The little girl they took in as their sister turned out to be their most desired obsession...
Will the brothers despise each other?
Will their obsession ruin their bond?

PRISTINE BROTHERHOOD

 By the time Theon got to the dinning, the young lady named Mae had already finished her meal and she was about to get off her seat when she spotted him standing at the door watching her. 


 Dylan's uncle wasn't in the room which meant he was done eating while Maria was still seated. She had already sensed his presence so she didn't bother herself. 


 "He wants to see you." Maria informed Mae when she noticed how the girl stared back at Theon, frozen. 


 Her eyes lowered to look at Maria who offered her a reassuring nod. Theon patiently waited for the girl to come meet him and she did. Her hands were folded together in front of her in an innocent way. 


 "Lady Mae right?" Theon acted as though he wasn't sure and she nodded. 


 He offered her his hand and she took it without reluctance. They found their way out of the dinning room and walked along the wide corridor where few maids were spotted doing one thing or the other.
