The movers were gone, leaving Chloe in a state of delighted exhaustion. This old brownstone in the city, with its creaky floors and quirky charm, was exactly what she needed. After a quick survey of the first floor, she found herself in the dining room, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns of the wainscoting. As she went around the room, feeling like she was being drawn to something, her hand stopped on an odd portion of the wall.

Chloe turned her face towards the passage. She felt like she was buzzing. This place was a portal! She took a deep breath and began her descent.
