3 Kyou vs Holden (1/2)
The large wooden door of the Chamber of Torment opened and a beautiful woman emerged. Her red dress fitted on her beautifully. Kyou looked at the silent and weary Caleb from afar. Surrounding Caleb was the mysterious chains emitting a tremendous aura. Slowly, Kyou approached Caleb. She gently stroked Caleb's pale face and said, ”What's wrong? Are you exhausted already?”
But Kyou never heard a response. Caleb only whizzed and barely stared at Kyou. 'There it is again.'
Kyou was having a headache lately. Not because she's sick but because of Caleb's behavior. There was a trace of worriedness on her face, 'If I'm not mistaken this is Caleb's 18,250th day here. And for some reasons, he's behaving differently lately.'
”This is getting boring,” Kyou rolled her eyes. She raised her delicate hands and slapped Caleb straight in the face in her frustration. ”What's wrong with you?! Why are not talking anymore huh?”
The Chamber of Torment shook and a reverberating noise was heard. It seems the noise traveled far and wide. That single slapped makes Caleb's face distorted.
But contrary to what she expects, Kyou only heard a wheezing sound. ”That's it for today's punishment, ” Kyou was exasperated. ”I've lost my interest in you. Maybe I'll come back later.”
Kyou turned around and approached the wooden door inadequately.
'...'
As she gently pushed the wooden door, Kyou felt the sudden changed around her. Kyou could not help but turn. 'What was that?'
Her golden eyes surveyed the entire area, 'Hmph. Just my imagination.' Kyou sighed. 'I'm just tired. Really tired.'
She turned around and pushed the door again.
*!!*
Suddenly, the Chamber of Torment shook violently and the atmosphere drastically changed. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze. Kyou halted and felt it.
'This?! This is impossible,' There was a sudden shocked on Kyou's face as she turned her head. 'Wh-why? This aura? This is impossible!'
Out of nowhere, Kyou saw a cloud of black smoke emerged not too far away from her. A figure appeared after the black smoke subsided.
”Ho-holden?” Kyou's curled her lips and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Holden's sudden appearance makes Kyou's entire body tremble and a chill permeated to her bones.
Holden raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Why are you surprised? Am I not welcome here?” Holden smiled mischievously. He look around the area and said, ”This place is quite plain. Well not too bad for a chamber. My visit here did not turn in vain.”
Holden has the appearance of an old man. Two obsidian black wings covered her entire body. Two obsidian spiral horns on top of his white long hair. Wrinkles and dark spots were visible on his face and around his arms. Notably, he was standing straight and upright. It was the attitude of someone who was mighty.
”What are you doing here? And how did you get here?” Kyou's anxious voice echoed out. She was confused about what's happening. The Chamber of Torment was a special place created by Shona. Kyou knew that no one can enter this place without Shona's permission.
Holden's demeanor suddenly changed. His dark eyes glowed and his aura leaked out. ”You don't have to know.”
Turbulence immediately broke out in the Chamber of Torment. It was an abrupt change in the area.
Kyou ignored her surroundings and tried her best to remain calm. She looked at Holden and said, ”Don't do it. This place is sacred. If you insist --”

”Insist on what?” Holden warned as he walked toward her. ”Do you think you can oppose me? Get out of my sight, or else something will happen to you.”
”Don't do this. You need to get hold of yourself, Holden!” Kyou's desperate shout echoed out. ”I'm just doing what Nora instructed me to do. I personally want him executed, but I must control myself on sisters behalf. Please, Holden stops making ruckus here.” Kyou pleaded. There is no point on killing Caleb.
