"I can’t tell. But do be careful."
She halted as they arrived before the double, huge door.
"Take care, my lady. We’ll be waiting for you out here," Thalia said, her voice tinged with concern.
She reached forth her hand, and with Carmilla’s aid, they opened the door for Avelina.
Avelina took a step forward and moved into the so-called dining room, the door immediately shutting behind her.
The atmosphere was chilling, but the interior was quite elegant.
The room was vast, with ceilings that seemed to stretch up toward the heavens. The walls were painted a deep, rich burgundy and adorned with ornate, gold-trimmed moldings that gave the room an air of opulence.
It was lit by a series of intricate chandeliers, each one made of delicate crystals and wrought iron. The room...was majestic!
Avelina’s gaze shifted to the center of the dining room, where a long table made of strong glass, and set with fine china, silver cutlery, and crystal goblets, was positioned.
Along this table were seated different people.
