Chapter 18: The Mansion
Emily's Pov
As we approached the mansion, I could feel a strange energy emanating from it. The air around us seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly power.
Victor pushed open the creaky front door, and we stepped inside. The interior of the mansion was just as impressive as the exterior, with high ceilings, sweeping staircases, and ornate chandeliers.
But despite the grandeur of the mansion, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The air inside seemed stale and musty, and I could sense a dark presence lurking just out of sight.
Victor led us deeper into the mansion, navigating a series of twisting corridors and narrow stairways. We finally arrived at a large, ornate door adorned with symbols of the moon.
"This is the entrance to the Order's inner sanctum," Victor said, his voice low and reverent. "Here, we will find the secrets of our kind."
I felt a surge of excitement mixed with trepidation. What secrets lay hidden within the Order's inner sanctum? And what dangers awaited us?
