Chapter 7: Descent into Madness

As the swirling vortex of darkness pulsed ominously before them, the boys stood frozen in fear, their minds reeling with the magnitude of the horrors they had unleashed. Ethan's heart hammered in his chest as he struggled to comprehend the enormity of the situation.

"We have to do something," Jacob said, his voice tinged with desperation. "We can't just stand here and let it consume us."

Ethan nodded, his jaw set in determination. "We need to find a way to close it, to stop whatever's on the other side from coming through."

With grim resolve, they ventured deeper into the mansion, their footsteps echoing in the empty corridors. The air grew thick with tension, each breath a struggle against the suffocating weight of the darkness that surrounded them.

But as they searched for a way to stop the vortex, they found themselves plagued by nightmares and hallucinations, their minds unraveling under the relentless assault of the mansion's malevolent energy. Shadows danced at the edges of their vision, and whispers echoed in their ears, driving them to the brink of madness.

"We can't trust our senses," Marcus muttered, his voice tinged with paranoia. "We have to stay focused, no matter what."

But even as he spoke, Ethan could feel the tendrils of madness creeping into his mind, twisting his thoughts and distorting his perceptions. He fought to maintain his grip on reality, but with each passing moment, it slipped further and further away.

As they pressed on, the mansion seemed to warp and shift around them, its corridors twisting and turning in an endless maze of confusion. Time lost all meaning as they stumbled through the darkness, their minds consumed by fear and uncertainty.

"We have to find the source of the darkness," Ethan said, his voice hollow with resignation. "We have to stop it before it's too late."

With renewed determination, they pushed forward, theirsenses heightened by the overwhelming sense of dread that permeated themansion's depths. But as they reached the heart of the darkness, they foundthemselves face to face with an entity beyond comprehension—an ancient evil that had been imprisoned within the mansion's walls for untold centuries.

With a roar that shook the very foundations of the building, the entity surged forward, its form shifting and changing with each passing moment. The boys stood frozen in terror as it loomed over them, its eyes burning with a hunger that sent a chill down their spines.

And then, with a deafening scream, the darkness consumed them whole, dragging them into a nightmare realm of endless suffering and despair. As they descended into madness, they knew that their only hope lay in finding a way to break free from the grip of the darkness before it consumed them entirely.
