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.

She ran until she could run no further. Ran until the cords of fine muscle in her legs simply and effectively refused to support her lithe frame any longer... ran until every quivering fiber of her body demanded that she cease, demanded that she fall. And fall she did, unto the soft moss that ran as a carpet against the damp forest floor, her blood-stained fingers twisted into the earthen loam, her quaking legs collapsing beneath her slender body as she curled in upon herself in a movement that was abjectly fetal. Defeated, Isolt laid her head against the callous bark of one of the many towering wooden totems that comprised this veritable supernatural stomping ground, a place she had rarely been wont to go before.

But now... now she could think of no other place to go. There was truly no other place where she might find some sanctuary, some salvation from this damnable nightmare. Her body, her mind were no longer her own, they were as foreign to her as if she had never known them, every part of her a treason against the reality she had believed in... the reality she had known. This was surely not her reality. It could not have been, the idea a heinous and otherworldly thing, for even as her lips pressed tightly against the cylindrical lengths of her canines, her mind fought against the idea of their existence. Fought against the memories that played in a vivid, horrific, unending loop upon the stage of her mind's eye. A woman with fangs sharpened and poised, promising the terror that was to come; a man with eyes of the deepest emerald, and a conman's smile meant only to lure her, to draw her in.

Anguish overcomes her then, a breathless and pitiful sob echoing against the foliage of the abandoned wood... followed by another, and another. Only but a moment passes before the young woman is overcome entirely by the sobs that ricochet throughout her entire frame, her body coiling inwards still further upon itself. Lines of deep crimson pool at the rims of her dazzling blue eyes, thick ribbons of blood tracing their squalid, phantom heat down the deathly pallor of her cheeks. Her cries are muffled, however, by the deafening roar of thunder as it rumbles overhead, slender fingers of lightening etching their way across the slowly churning sky. Rain follows suit, heavy droplets pummeling all that lay below. The crumpled redhead cares naught, though, for the downpour as it soaks into every fiber that swaths her; two slender hands come up to coil into deep crimson locks. And beneath all of the celestial raucous, her deep and mournful sobs could barely be heard...
