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.

It's not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive at the restart.



Against Dareios' better judgement, he'd taken on an assignment from a shifter. A foolish, young man whose motives were still to be determined. But Dareios found himself obsessed with the work. Perhaps it was because he'd grown accustomed to the day-in/day-out nature of his usual routine. Or maybe it was because the vampire had become so successful, he hardly did any of the nitty-gritty investigations himself anymore. He had paid staff to do that for him. But because of the unusual nature of this request, and probably not to tarnish his reputation or stir unnecessary whispering amongst his employees, Dareios had told no one about this request. He didn't share the crude drawing Frost had given him of the amulet with anyone for analyzation. He canceled meetings and social appearances as to work on this specific assignment during off hours.

He was pleased with his progress thus far. Part of him was even boastful about it. I've still got it he'd told himself tonight. It had been almost two hundred years since he and his brother built their empire in Ireland. About a 150 since Dareios fled the country of his birth, after mourning the unexpected loss of his brother, and continued on with their venture in the states. It had been close to one hundred years since he ever had to do the work himself, outside of broader management and organization. This assignment was a good reminder of where he came from.

It was the early morning hours, and Dareios was still far from his home in Anacosta Heights. He had successfully located the amulet, and had scheduled a drop for the following night. If all went according to plan, his arrangement with Frost would be over by the next day. Then life would return to normal. Dareios would once again return to his role of "friendly neighborhood vampire," the business man from the North side of town that gave away so much of his money, that sold and collected antique furniture, that generally seemed jovial in the presence of most here. He didn't want it to end just yet. He didn't want to lose hold of this feeling. So he veered into an open bar, one he vaguely remembered having frequented before. Like any true hunter, Dareios surveys the room quickly as he enters. He smells the humans that sit amongst themselves in the corners of the bar, and takes note of the vampire tending to the bar top. He studies him for a second before taking a seat and exhaling. He too, looks somewhat familiar.

"Scotch please. On the rocks."
