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.

More than just a landmark, the Starlight Tower offers a unique mix of restaurants, shops, and offices spaced throughout the building. Organized into nine verticle zones, each of which features a sky lobby and a light-filled garden atrium which merge the upscale interior with a faux landscaped exterior setting.
I can see the obvious pain in her eyes when her family is mentioned. I know better than to ask more into it. The last thing I need is a sobbing girl on my hands. I never know what to do with those. That's why I stay away from funerals. Do you just pat their back awkwardly and tell them you're sorry? Sorry for what? I didn't kill anyone so why am I apologizing? None of it ever makes any sense to me. As we land, I give her space and she finally looks up and thanks me. I shrug, running a hand through my hair awkwardly. I never know what to say in these situations. As she sits in the sand, I slowly sink to the sand across from her, content to bend my knees and rest my elbows on them as I watch her fingers trailing through the sand. I look back up and smile. "There's no better species to be. And you're a natural." I smile softly. I tell her about my family and she looks over, calling them fools. I let out a dry chuckle and look down at the sand, shaking my head. I've always considered myself the fool. Maybe I should have followed. I always think I know better though. I let that get to my head and here I am, alone. I look back up when she gets up, raising a brow at her sudden mention of racing. I start getting up, expecting her to run off down the beach but instead she surprises me by running straight into the water. I tilt my head, crossing my arms, content to watch for a moment as she runs deeper and deeper into the water before a wave crashes over her. I laugh despite myself, only stopping at her sudden question. "Are you kidding me? I ain't scared of nothin!" I yell indignantly as I race forward into the water, easily striding into the water. A few waves brush over me, plastering my hair to my head and I laugh as I reach her, sweeping my arm out to splash her with cold water. |
