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.

I'm more alive than I've ever been
She was helpless to keep herself away from him.
Helpless in the way that the moon was helpless to keep itself away from the earth, helpless as the flower was to turn its face unto the magnanimous sun for the life that it would give. Isolt had learned much of loss, of solitude, in this harrowing afterlife; in truth, these lessons were ones that would hardly know an end. After all, one could not traipse down the winding and unending avenue of an eternal life and find themselves unfamiliar with the stinging burrs of loss and the suffocating emptiness of solitude, voluntary or otherwise. But it is not this desparation that binds her to him, not some feeble need for the filler of another's presence or the intimacy of their fingertips' caress. No, something far deeper, far more viable drew her to Damon.
He was her sun.
"Then they don't know you," she whispers against the flesh of his neck, relishing the savory fragrance of his skin and the titillating current that seems to rove his body in sensuously enticing ripples. The smile broadens upon her features to accompany the ever deepening rosiness of her cheeks as he leans in to meet her, their noses nearly touching, only to offer a counter to her own lascivious consideration. For a moment she is merely silent, proffering naught more by way of response than the subtle racking of teeth against the pillow of her lower lip. "Leather, lace... something sheer in all of the right places," she muses softly as she shifts to meet him, the suppleness of her cherry lips flitting against his ever so briefly in a most teasing caress. Isolt withdraws then, but only just so that she may regard her lover. It seemed as though every time she was fortunate enough to see him this way, this close, she may as well have been laying her eyes to him for the very first time for all of the wonder, all of the awe, that filled her heart.
Smiling gently, Isolt moves to place herself beside Damon, fire-crowned head falling to lean against his shoulder as delicate fingers move to entwine themselves with his. Though each of their bodies had long ago forfeited the warmth that was life's gift to the greedy hands of death, she felt something much akin to this in the comfort of his presence, his proximity. It was something far removed from the inherent heat of the mortal form, something etherreal and altogether beyond her current scope of comphrension. "Damon," she lilts softly, "I love you. So much." The youthful woman draws nearer to him then, seeking his closeness above all other things in these moments.
"I wish we could stay here forever."
