A vine covered building sits on the outskirts of town, hidden deep in the woods. A dirt path, hardly seen leads the way up to the door. On the side of the building there are two words, faded and barely readable. The words read "Spiritual Sanctuary"
Deep green vines creep up the side of the building and crawl along the ground, never touching the main path. There are no visible windows and the door looks worn and cracked, making you wonder how it's still standing. You think twice about entering but something compells you to step inside.
As you pass through the door you have to pause due to the sudden change in light. At first you think there are no lights at all as the door creaks closed and shuts out the sunlight. As your vision slowly adjusts you find a beautifully kept club. So much different from the outside. The polished dark wood that covers the floor looks almost black. However, the dim lighting reflects off the polished wood, proving that it has a reddish-brown tint. Glowing wax candles sit on each table and a glowing candle chandelier gently swings back and forth from the cieling, casting ghastly shadows in the corners.
A calming aura fills the room that sooths your nerves. A girl stands behind the dark cherry wood bar, a smile on her face as she laughs with her male companion. As you enter she looks up at you and waves in greeting. She silently invites you to stay and make yourself at home.
Music suddenly blares from somewhere in the ceiling as a girl, with headphones over her ears, bobs her head to the beat behind the DJ stand.
There are several others scattered randomly throughout the club. Whether they are sitting at one of the tables or sinking comfortably into the numerous couches that are scattered along the walls
Let me introduce you to some of them:
The girl behind the bar, that's Kirree, the owner. This bar is like her home. She's usually pretty quiet. People are always telling her how sweet and kind she is, but she just shrugs it off. Not many people really know what's going on inside her head.
The guy sitting at the bar is an exception. He knows her inside and out. We call him Zero. He's the co-owner of Spiritual Sanctuary, and Kirree's husband. Kirree wouldn't be here without him. They're always together, and you rarely see one without the other.
The girl behind the DJ stand, that's Kara. She's pretty young, but she's got a wild spirit. Don't let her scare you. She's not that bad, I promise.
Sitting at one of the tables is...well...we just call him V. Only those who are close to him know what he's all about really. He would, no doubt, be the oldest here at Spiritual Sanctuary. But he doesn't act it. Kirree tolerates him because he's like family.
Sitting in the shadows is Nyv. Or more commonly known as Doom. Despite her outwardly depressing appearance, she's not that bad. She's got a sarcastic personality but most here love her company. She's usually pretty quiet, a bit like Kirree.
We all welcome you to come and stay a while. We'd love to have you.
