But before Steven could escape Hormon came from out of nowhere, and blocked Steven. Hormon laughed. "My gaurdsss may have been foolisssh enough to have let you essscape, but you can't get past me!" Two gaurds came behind Steven. They knocked him to the ground and took his arrows. They then dragged him back into the torture chamber. They then ripped off his shirt. Hormon came into the room. "Whip him!" The gaurds whipped him brutally. "Harder!" Hormon yelled. The gaurds whipped him with all of their might. "MAKE HIM SSSCREAM!" They lashed Steven again. "MAKE HIM BLEED!" They lashed even harder, tearing Steven's skin. "MAKE HIM CRY IN PAIN!" Hormon yelled. He then laughed in a demonic way. But before the gaurds could whip Steven again, Hormon yelled "SSSTOP! If you whip him again he will die. For now jussst tie him up, and lock him in the room. We can't have him essscape again, can we?" The gaurds chained him to the wall. And left the room. Hormon took the keys, and turned to Steven. "Don't worry SSSTeven. We will be back, to make your life a living hell!" He shut and locked the door, laughing as he walked to his room. Hormon walked up the staircase. He came to a door and opened it. Inside there was a girl about the age of nineteen tied up. She was about five foot nine. She had black hair that went down to her waist. She had blue eyes that matched her blue dress. She was very beautiful. "Hello Midrial(pronounced Mid-dry-El). Itsss been ssso long sssince Ive ssseen you." Midrial looked spitefully at Hormon. "What do you wan't this time. Do you want to torture me, or beat me brutally! Why can't you just kill me and get it over with!" Hormon laughed. "I'm not going to kill you yet. I wan't you to die in front of Kaoden. I want him to sssee you die, to make him feel missserable." At the mention of Kaoden, Midrial cried. Hormon smiled. Kaoden and Midrial had fallen in love with each other. And he wanted both Kaoden and Midrial to feel the pain of being separated. Hormon then spoke again. "You know Kaoden tried to sssave you yesssterday? But he couldn't. He wasss too weak for a god like me. Besidesss he ended up ressscue another one of my victumsss. A girl called Adalia." Hormon then walked out of the room and locked the door, leaving Midrial to think sad thoughts about Kaoden.
