The Mansion of Night is a strange dimensional phenomena. Sitting in a pocket void, this place will randomly steal one creature from a nearby dimension. Taking an unfortunate soul that has recently felt fear. Strong, intense fear is the only condition that secures a room. The moment they go to bed is when they get transported, also known as reaping. With this reaping they get assigned a race. But this will not be explained here.
The mansion is big. Separated, yet connected by four wings and a main building. Filled to the brim with rooms and small spaces, this place becomes a claustrophobic's nightmare. Surrounding this building is a dark void. A nothingness that suspends it, keeping it from falling forever. Clearly, if the people could get out there would be nowhere to go. Luckily, there is no true door, but a portal.
The portal is the only way out, working only to those that were taken. There are magical orbs, two to a wing, that activate it. Finding these orbs and safely handling them are a challenge. But any more information would make this story less interesting.
Why should I, the author, say such information this early instead of weaving it into the story? The answer is simple. Because to the story's inhabitants most of this is unknown. While with you, the reader, this information will impact how you view the end. The end for both protagonists as they survive this mansion. This story will be long and it's advised that you follow.
A/N: Story may have a warning before a chapter part if the author receives more than 5 PM's about it. Chapters will alternate between the two protagonists.
Please review what you think of this revised and better planned story. Things will be different from the first time around. Please review on how this is doing. I would like mistakes PM-ed to me. Thank you for reading.
