The Invitation

The carriage rattled along the winding path, its wheels grinding against the gravel as Adrian peered out the window, his heart pounding with anticipation. The mist hung thick in the air, obscuring the sprawling estate that lay hidden amongst the hills.
As they approached the gates of Lord Ashcroft's manor, Adrian's excitement mingled with a tinge of apprehension. He had spent years studying the occult and the supernatural, but nothing could have prepared him for the ominous atmosphere that surrounded the estate.
Stepping out onto the cobblestone courtyard, Adrian was greeted by the imposing figure of Lord Ashcroft himself. Tall and Stoic, with piercing eyes that seemed to see straight through him, Lord Ashcroft extended a hand in welcome.

Adrian nodded, his curiosity piqued.

I am eager to begin my research, Lord Ashcroft. Your invitation is a great honor.
With a gesture, Lord Ashcroft led Adrian into the grand foyer, where the air was heavy with the scent of ancient wood and musty books. Portraits of long-dead ancestors lined the walls, their eyes following Adrian's every move.
