.::The Settings::.
Placed out in a peaceful and quiet woodsy area, isolated from the rest of civilization, there lies a grand manor that is owned by a nocturnal.

Resting on five beautiful acres of forestry, the manor takes up a little over twenty-two thousand square feet and stands at three stories.
Set back a ways on the property, to reach the entrance of the estate you must travel down a long, semi-wide black marble road that stretches out a little over a quarter of a mile.

.::The Drive Way::.
Lining this beautiful black marble road are numerous cherry trees, their branches criss crossing and entwining above you to create a canopy, shading you from the hot sun. These cherry trees are different though, for they do not every loose their leaves nor die and the blossoms change color with the seasons. No matter how many blossoms line the ground the trees are always full of blossoms. Always.

In Winter, the blossoms are a
light cream that looks like an angelic white. Falling gently to the ground, they turn that black marble road into what would seem like a walkway to Heaven.

In Spring, the blossoms are their usual beautiful
pastel pink and fall slowly, the blossoms spread out and spotting the marble road in an elegant and beautiful fashion.

In Summer, the
pastel pink darkens into a deep blue violet type of color and only the blossoms on the lowest branches fall. These blossoms do nothing more then outline the road with its beautiful coloring. Of course, you'll see a few of the blossoms sprinkled across the road from the gentle breeze that sways the direction of the floating blossoms after they have detached themselves from their branches.

And last but not least, in the fall, the
blue violet blossoms lighten up into a light lavender and fall beautifully to the ground. No matter what time of day or night you go down that road you will be showered with gently and slowly falling blossoms. In the fall, the blossoms take on an endless shower effect, causing anyone who walks down that road to walk through falling blossoms. Seeing as so many blossoms fall, usually the breeze will carry them off to decorate even further out past the marble road up to the estate.

After being drowned in the addicting scent of cherry blossoms, your form is wrapped within that scent and you now carry the masters favorite scent upon your body.

.::The First Level::.
Upon reaching the entrance to the manor, finally, you will see that the architecture of this manor was obviously created by someone with great skill and an aristocratic taste.

Done in dark brick, the manor stretches out infront of you. The marble road narrows up to create a flight of five steps that soon lead up to dark cherry oak French doors that hold a beautiful Romanian design upon them. Before you reach the steps though, you soon find yourself under an extended roof that is held up by large dark marble columns, giving this estate an elegant look to it.

In the center of each door lies a large knocker that is over pure
gold and fitted with blood red rubies. Whoever lives here obviously has money, a lot of money.

Before you even have time to knock at the door, the
blood red gems glow softly and the door slides open before you, welcoming you into the estate.

The floors are of beautiful wood and a ahead of you is a grand staircase that has one flight of fifteen stairs before you reach the first platform. This platform now gives you two options, go up the right flight of fifteen stairs or the left flight of fifteen stairs...

On either side of the grand staircase though, there are two large entrances. The one to the left leads towards the kitchen, bar and large open ball room that can be used for parties, dance practices or just about anything else that requires a large open floor.

To the right, you will soon enter a large living area that holds a beautiful large Romanian designed fireplace and comfortable black leather couch, two arm chairs and two love seats.

Past the living area is a wide hallway. Towards the beginning of the hallway on the right side, you see an opening that gives entrance to a grand and beautiful study that hold numerous amounts of books and black leather cozy chairs to sit and read in. This study stretches up into the second floor, making it a two story library.

More towards the end of the hallway there is a set of French double doors, also of dark cherry wood and holding the same Romanian design. These door lead into a large dark and peaceful sanctuary.
This sanctuary is at the back of the right side of the estate and has a wall that is made of windows. These windows give view out into the large beautiful botanical gardens that were part of the property. During the day though, the owner prefers to keep it dark in there and so has black velvet drapes that are pulled across the windows, blocking out all light and leaving the room with only the dim lighting of the flickering flames.

.::The Second Level::.
Going back up the grand staircase, you see that it has a platform that then gives you two options, go up the left flight of stairs or the right flight.

Going up the left, the stairs curve to the right. Once you reach the second level, ahead of you is a long corridor that holds different doors. On the left side there are three doors with long spaces between them.

The first door leads into a brightly lit room, two of its walls being made of glass. In the center of the room there was a painting canvas set up, a stool and on the floor laid different brushes and paint bottles on a strip of fabric so as not to stain the floor. The windows look out into the botanical garden, below the garden floor, above the canopy and then the tree tops. You have to look up though to see into the canopy..

The second door leads to nothing but a large now empty room. By the light scuffs on the floor, any could tell that someone had moved furniture of some type out of the room but other then that, there is no other traces of anything else ever being in there.

The last door is usually kept shut, in the room though, there are numerous paints hung up and leaning against the wall. Some are of adults, others of children playing, some of wildlife, others of just beautiful scenery. Whoever painted these images was obviously a great artist and took their time with each piece of work.
