"Welcome to the Special Samhain Auction hosted by the Under Ring, proprietors of the Wailing House." A pixie in fine livery bowed his head to us. "Might I see your invitation?"
Kallista, gorgeous in her tight red velvet dress, passed a card to him.
He spent a brief second looking at the card before turning his gaze on each of us in turns.
"Welcome, Madam Kallista of the famed Rings of Fortune Auctioneers," he said in welcoming tone. Then he addressed us, "And these are?"
"My guests," Kallista said in almost imperious manner like she wasn't about to be questioned by the doorman about who she brought with her.
She pushed the pixie aside and walked in. And while he looked on at her with half of a protest stuck in his mouth, Aura, Luca, Shanks, and I followed her through the threshold of the Wailing House's front entrance.
