Timeline: A recap of seasons 1 to 5 in the beginning and will end in season 6.
Bordered to the left by tall trees and to the right by a large lake that fed the town with its electricity supply, Mystic Hills was a very fitting name for Damon Salvatore's hometown.
He had been born, fallen in love, died and resurrected in this town with his brother and after years of running away, has finally decided to stay in town because of Stefan.
To Damon, Stefan was the most important person and his happiness came above and beyond anything in his scale of preference. He would trade his life to make sure his brother was happy because it was a vow he had made a century and half ago on the night he had forced Stefan to feed on a human to complete his transition into a vampire.
The landscape of Mystic Hills was absolutely glorious —if you had the interest to find it out. The whole town was balanced on what looked like the world's largest plateau, little streams of water cut through different parts of town and heading to the Mystic Lake that bordered the town to the right.
The dam that sat on that lake was another of the town's many sights but the best part of Mystic Hills was the people. Or most accurately, the naïveté of its people.
Supernatural and Ordinary people lived harmoniously in the town, with the supernaturals respecting their boundaries.
It wasn't like other places Damon had visited in the course of his long life, no. There was thrill in other places. Snatch and drain till you were full, pull out a few hearts, break a few necks and drain a few bodies when you're feeling predatory.
Not in Mystic Hills. In Mystic Hills, you snatch respectfully, drink respectfully and erase respectfully while giving the victims blood to heal.
It wasn't fun but it was habitable. And somewhere along the line, he had become a protector of the ordinary people against his own kind.
Supernaturals who threatened the faux stability of the people, were dealt with previously by Stefan and him... but in recent years, Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie, Alaric, Caroline, Tyler, Sheriff Forbes and the Mayor have all hopped aboard the initiative.
Life was peaceful. Aside the occasional misguided vampire or the newborns that happened because of death while having a vampire blood in them, life was peaceful.

On a Parallel plane stood Mystic Falls... the direct opposite of Mystic Hills. A land of chaos and no discipline.
Damon Salvatore definitely didn't feel any grandiose need to protect a town full of people he could compel to happily offer their necks to him.
And yet, falling in love with his brother's girlfriend and spending time with her friends, he had sobered up.
After a few unrecoverable mistakes, he was sobered up.
