Being a witch has its perks, the ability to use magic and to have unlimited power is amazing. Toni understands that this power comes with responsibility and soon, with the company of a vampire named Ruby, they will experience the adventure of a life...
We're walking down the short cobblestone path to the pub and I'm beginning to regret wearing these boots.
'you'd think I'd learn my lesson from the last time when I fell on my ass here'
Ruby is walking close behind me as she looks around. The place is in a forest just outside a busy city. I'm guessing that's because it's supposed to be a getaway for people.
The owner, Sir Gregory Edgerton, opened Dark Horse as a place for all mystical creatures to relax and enjoy a drink and a meal with each other. It also became a safe haven and a place to trade secrets, spells and potions.
But as centuries passed, the old warlock realized he could make more money if he opened up to humans as well. At first is was a mess since it was and still kinda is taboo for us to interact with humans. The problems that would arise almost got him shut down by the Elders. Humans weren't open back then so when they saw something magical by accident, they'd blabber to others, causing a lot of hunting and witch trails. I actually got captured here once for a witch trail but that's another story.
Luckily for Edgerton, things started to calm down thanks to the stricter rules he created. Less humans would come and those that did were either oblivious to what happens under their noses or are too intrigued by the place to do anything about it.
I step in front of the door and knock twice before a tall skinny boy opens it. He looks a little bit scared.
'must be new to the job.'
He inspects us quietly then nods and opens the door wider for us to enter.
The room is dark though it's only the afternoon as people, occult and human, socialize. The decor is very steampunk but quite tasteful and unique. The leather, iron and wooden accents of the room brings a nostalgic Victorian feel to me. It's old and new put together.

"This place looks amazing." Ruby gasps out next to me. I'm guessing she's never been to places like this since she turned. She can learn a lot from here.
"Baby, sweetie, my adorable little dollface! It's been so long!" An all too familiar voice yells in a deep Boston accent.
Then I'm brought into a bone crushing hug, engulfing me in between strong muscular arms. I can't help but smile at the feeling of hugging my friend.
