Wilde Hall was deep into the trees, and it would take a few minutes for the carriage to trace it's way along the winding road. Out here, away from the lights of Arkham, the darkness seemed to press in from every direction, the shadows looming against the flickering light of the lantern. While [b][color=red]Drachen Steinboden[/color][/b] sat in stony silence, the other two occupants of the carriage were at least attempting to make conversation, although whether that was due to genuine interest, or as an attempt to stave off the darkness, only they knew. [b][color=f49ac2]Rosanna Liang[/color][/b] and [b][color=#0077be]Alvin Fennel[/color][/b] were both young, and although they no doubt had their reasons for travelling to Wilde Hall, neither of them had any experience rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful that frequented the parties of the Wildes, let alone in a setting as grand as Wilde Hall. Sitting in that carriage, perhaps they were both feeling that youth. As the coachman continued to drive them further into woods, any of the passengers that glanced out the window would be able to see light beginning to emerge from the darkness, as they neared the house itself. Only a few more winding corners, and they would arrive. Only a few more precious moments of peace. They all had their own reasons for accepting the invitation, all had their ow reasons for braving the depths of the Wilde Woods, but none of them knew what was waiting for them in the darkness.
