"Everything is coming along quite well, Andros. No need to worry...so long as The Above and his guardians remain clueless to the key's whereabouts, nothing will stop us." Holton confided with confidence.
"That key is the only thing that can keep us from our ultimate goal! I don't care how clueless they remain! I want that key in my possession!" Andros shouted back. He grabbed Holton by the collar and pulled him nose to nose with himself. "If I do not have that key in my possession before the anticipated time frame, you will be thrown into the pit for all of my angry and lost souls to play with for the rest of eternity. Do you understand me?"
Holton's confident smirk quickly faded to a frightened stare as he looked into Andros's angry, red eyes. He swallowed hard at the thought of the suffrage that would come to him if he did not deliver.
"O-of course, sire." Holton responded in fear.
Andros let go of him with a sneer and turned away.
"I shall assign some of my Hunter 's to accompany you. You best get to work Holton...you have already disappointed me once today." Andros said as he took to his black throne.
Holton took his leave immediately, thoughts of his current mission strong within his mind.
He had no idea where the key was located or how he was to find it. There was only one blood line that held it's location and it had been that way since the beginning of time. No matter the torture, the bargain or the threat nobody had been able to crack them. They truly took their secrets to the grave. Only the next generation held the secrets and even they didn't know about it until it was triggered within them. This was going to be an impossible task...but Holton knew he didn't have a choice.
