The invitation
Some doors are never meant to be found.
And some invitations arrive before you even know you were searching for them.
On a quiet night, an invitation appeared.
A golden mask rested beside an Ace of Spades, while a single candle burned in the darkness.
There was no name on the invitation.
No explanation.
Only a symbol she had never seen before. She could have walked away.
Instead, she followed the candlelight.
And that was the moment the House learned her name.
