Those who enter find themselves bound to this home.

In the secluded Eastern wing of the schoolyard a single building stood not much taller than a single story home. Its rectangular shape dragged on for what seemed like miles, and the building itself was tinted an odd green hue from the stained glass that decorated every panel that compromised the house of plants. This framed building was coated with a strange scent, something hinting at its strange inhabitants. Inside of this glass domicile yards and yard of plants lined the building. Rows upon rows were dug perfectly straight and as narrow as a grave. These poured forth countless vines, numerous bulbs and infinite blooms that caused the place to have a radiant air to it.

The walls were lined with wooden tables, mostly made of oak wood. The scent of these tables blended perfectly with the pollen drifting thickly through the air. On each of these tables, small potted plants could be found, some looking unique and rare, others simple and boring. Atop of these tables, shelves hung, creating an overcast to shade the plants below. On these shelves, columns upon columns of vials filled with every shade of any color you could imagine.

In the rear right hand corner, two small desks were set up with different tools of unknown origin and plants that could hold the key to many medical advances that the world had yet discovered. This seemed to be the workplace of a familiar character to this sanctum. The entire greenhouse was owned by the Arlet family, and a certain elven man tended to it each day. Mouse called this building his second home, his secret retreat, and the one place that his thirst for the outside world and discovery could be quenched. And upon his arrival at the Sanctum, he offered it as a retreat for any of those who wish to revel in the glory of these plants.

Those who exit find themselves drawn back to its warm embrace.

A pair of legs halted before a glass panel door, kicking up a bit of dirt that was revealed from the numerous entries into this place of flora. From the pants that covered these legs, two hands rose and fixed a scarf wrapped lightly around the neck of a youthful elven man. The pale tan garment folded a couple times before his face, shielding his chin and mouth from the cold. Once the adjustments were made, Mouse reached out towards the frigid handle that beautifully adorned the entrance to his greenhouse. His slender fingers clenched the metal firmly and with a bit of an 'umph' was able to pull back the door and enter into the source of a warm breeze drifting from the doorway.

Mouse entered into the building and removed his scarf as the door creaked its way shut. Reaching to the right he hung the comfortable piece of fabric from a coat hanger that lined the wall. Afterward, he immediately began to survey the area, taking in an inventory of the plants that had uprooted, bloomed, bulbed or simply sprouted over night. He moved from the rows before him that created aisles to walk through and examine like those of a supermarket to the tables and shelves. He documented with ease all of the potted plants and vials that decked the walls thoroughly. With nothing but positive feedback, Mouse gained a bit of confidence in the fact that he would restore his greenhouse to what it used to be. With his fist task complete, Mouse had something more important to get to.

Mouse moved from the tables and shelves, through the aisles and rows of plants, towards the rear of the greenhouse where his two desks sat. Recently, Mouse had discovered a plant that had yet to be identified. He had been spending his days busily glancing through books on taxonomy and dictionaries of plants from ferns to tulips. The main focus of this flower was that its beauty was rivaled by only one soul. Alex Arlet was the only thing that held a candle to this flora. And in turn, Mouse wanted to name it after his wife, but before he could rightfully do so, he had to assure to himself that this was an undocumented case.

His rear end was planted heavily into the wooden chair that rested at the desk. His eyes scanned a few lines of an open book before him just as he was going to lean in and inspect the flower under a magnifier that was clipped to the side of the pot that held this bloom. As he peered through the convex glass, he investigated the color of the bloom as it had a certain twist to it that made him curious. The pale red had a spiraled set of yellow speckles scaling the leaves of the blossom. Furthermore, the tips of each petal had the same yellow-orange tint to them as it reached the point. The center of this bulb radiated with a gorgeous scent, and at night, it illuminated after a long day in the sun glowing with a gentle blue tone. All of these perfect perky tid-bits added to the idea that only Alex could rival such a work of art. Mouse had to find the origin of this perfect plant.
