East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Somewhere in the end we're all insane
To think that light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill



Vladimir wandered around this strange place, his grey eyes flit around the world, unsure and uncertain. It had taken him a while to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Even at night, the place was busier than he expected. He swung through dark alleys, gliding past unseen faces with no worry. Words were thrown at him, senseless and meaningless, just a jangle of unrecognisable syllables. The dark clung to him like a cloak, and he moved through it swiftly and confidently. He owned the night, and there was an arrogant confidence in his step that shone through, managing to shine even through the layers of self-doubt and sorrow that seemed to be engrained in his being.
"Where are we going Vladdy? Just gonna wander aimlessly until sun up, then skulk into some abandoned building until night again? There's a reason we got a house."
The irritated, scathing tone growled in his ear, and the boy batted his hand around his face, hoping to rid himself of unspoken words.
"That's your plan isn't it? Maybe hoping you'll get caught in the sun. If you burn brother, so do I. You've already killed me once."
The words cut and scraped around his mind, causing the boy to flinch.
"It was an accident."
His voice breaks the city quiet, a hushed tone in a loud world, barely heard over the noises of everyone else's lives, but there, present, constant. If he spoke, it meant he was still there, it meant people could hear him, help him, find him.

The boy stalked in silence, hunting for something he couldn't identify, hoping to catch a glimpse of anything that could guide him, lead him. As he got further into the city, he began to lose hope of finding anything to break the monotony, and soo his eyes lost focus, and he allowed his feet to lead him, where ever they wanted. It was another hour or so, of aimless wandering, before Sammy finally spoke.
"This looks like your kind of scene."
Sam's voice cut through his head, causing the boy to raise his silvery eyes and stare at the place before him. It looked like a café, of sorts, the window showing odd knickknacks, instead of advertising food and drinks. His interest peaked, he stood, staring in to the window with wide, curious eyes. He spent some time staring in, not daring to go in, and yet finding it so very enticing and tempting. In his moment of pondering, a group entered the street, swaggering down, believing they owned the place, and were the most dangerous creatures on the street. With a waft of cold night air, their scent lazily drifting into his nostrils, causing a clench in his throat that he didn't know was there. With a swallow, he turns away, grey eyes locking on the door of his café place. Without a glance at the yobs, he moved towards the door, unconsciously taking in the name. Any other time, he would have laughed at the irony, instead of trying to dash through the door.

He didn't even make it half way across the street, before the humans noticed him. The words they hurled at him were meaningless, irritating and buzzing like flies just asking to be swatted. Though the words were meaningless, the intent, to hurt and maim and belittle, was evident. And it made the boys blood boil. Before he allowed himself to do something stupid, the boy slipped inside the café, a feeling of anger exuding from him.
"Easy kid. Don't go scaring the locals."
Sammy's voice was oddly calming in his head, and Vladimir blinked, realising that, although he'd entered quietly, people were noticing his presence. With a deep breath, he orders a hot chocolate, with whipped cream and a chocolate flake and sprinkles, and finds a corner to sink in to.
"I thought you didn't care what people think, little brother."
"I don't."
He silently and scathingly told his brother, dipping his finger into the whipped cream and licking it off angrily.
"I just don't enjoy being subjected to such filth, to such...such...contumely!"
The boy huffed aloud at his silent exclamation, his eyebrows pinching together when he hears Sammy laugh.
"Really Vladdy? Really? 'Contumely'?"
The boy was silent, pouting to himself.
"You weren't even alive in Shakespeare's time, why the fuck are you using his words, and where the fuck did you even find them?"
"I've been reading."
The boys mental voice was grudgingly quiet, nearly drowned out by his dead brothers laugh.
"Fuck off."
He mutters aloud, picking up his drink and taking a sip, before munching on the chocolate flake with an silent aggression very unlike Vladdy.

Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain
