South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation

The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

Hyde Park

Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.

The Outskirts

Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

The University of Sacrosanct

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world. The University welcomes the talent of students across the world to enroll and unlock their unlimited potential. With applications from across the nation, classes fill up quickly.

The prospect of the safety deposit box and the mysterious contents within was altogether terrifying for the boy. He abhorred the possibility that whatever they found within the metal box might somehow change their lives, even though there was a very good chance that, for Henry at least, it would surely be for the better. Still, there was something altogether painful to even consider his roommate moving on with his life without Sterling within it. It was by far the most difficult conundrum the man had found himself emotionally toiling over - hell, as far as he could remember it was truly the only emotional conundrum he'd ever toiled over. He'd never felt for anyone in his rather limited memory the way that he undeniably felt for the man he shared his flat with. Sterling paused on the other side of the front door, inhaling deeply as his bright blue eyes flickered closed, trying to steady himself before he pushed open the door - a warm simper across his lips in an effort to seem more excited about this lock box then he might actually have been. At least, that had been the goal. Instead of the scent of food for his gnawing stomach or the sight of the man he found himself so taken with, Sterling found nothing but silence on the other side of that door.

He could hardly hide that hint of concern upon his features as the man tossed his wallet and accompanying keys onto the kitchen counter, his crystalline gaze shifting around the flat. He meandered towards the bedrooms, remembering to pause and knock before he entered only to find himself completely alone. A small frown traced Sterling's features and slowly he made his way back towards his own bedroom, falling onto the comfortable mattress with a soft sigh upon his features. His gaze shifted towards the window, noting the darkness that laid beyond those glass panes. He did warn Henry of the dangers that lurked these streets at night, didn't he? Henry should have been home by now. Hell, Sterling wasn't even sure the banks were open this late. The boy bit his lip, considering going in search of his companion and yet...his own irrational fears left him still upon that bed. His head leaned back, his eyes flickering closed as he considered his options.

Thankfully, it wasn't that much later (or maybe it was? Sterling had lost track of the time) before he heard the door open, his gaze flickering open nearly immediately. The boy hardly hesitated in raising to his feet, his lips pressing together as he heard Henry's shouted words. Sterling had only just made it to the bedroom door to see but the back of his companion before Henry closed the door to the bathroom and for a moment, Sterling couldn't help the way his body deflated ever so slightly. "Oh...well...okay." He responded, though hardly loud enough, he was sure, to really be heard. At least his friend was safe - that was all that mattered right? He nodded to himself, instead making his way towards the living room to wait the completion of Henry's shower and what he was assured was the fate of their friendship. It was, after all, just that. And yet, Sterling could hardly help but to notice that he hadn't seen the cold grey metal of a safety deposit box anywhere at all....
