[Note: This quest is set in a parallel version of the House; where the original Heir, Arthur Penhaligon has been captured by the Morrow Days]
Noah Holmes walked along the street with his hands in his pockets; the sun was shining making it a glorious day to be outside. He had just collected his A-Level results and was very pleased with how he had done. He was on his way to his favourite shop in town to buy himself a reward. His phone buzzed in his pocket and pulled it out of his pocket as he stepped out into the road not looking where he was going.
Tyres screeched and a car smashed into Noah hard sending him spinning over the car. He landed in a broken heap and the world started to go black.
***
A small portal opened and a man in an old fashioned wicker bath chair was wheeled out by his ancient looking butler.
"Is that him Sneezer?"
"Yes Mister Monday; my lord. He is the one who you must perform the ritual with"
"Oh if I must to carry on being a Trustee"
Mister Monday placed a golden object shaped like the oversized minute hand of a clock.
"You need to hold the Hour Hand sire"
Mister Monday pulled out a larger golden clock hand and touched the Minute Hand as well. In a slow bored voice he started to recite an ancient oath.
***
Inside the control room of the QA; red lights were flashing rapidly while alarm bells rang out loudly.
"What the hell?" One official demanded
"It's the House. A gateway to it has appeared on Earth"
"Summon some questers quickly. That damn House could destroy the damn Universe if not kept in check"
***
Mister Monday tried to pull the Minute Hand out of Noah's hand when lightening suddenly shocked him.
"What's happened Sneezer?"
"I don't know sire. I think the Key has chosen a new Trustee to bond with"
"But he's human. Get me out of here Sneezer before I lose the Hour Hand as well"
Noah woke slowly to find an ambulance worker checking him over. Noah looked around and suddenly saw an impossibly sized house where it hadn't been before. This house was a complicated jumble of architectural features. It seemed to be occupying several streets but everyone was ignoring it's sudden appearance.
