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.

I know that we were having fun before this happened, right? Raven seemed like she was having fun anyway. So why did it happen if it wasn't my fault? How can such a random thing happen? I remember the look on her face that night that Nadya grabbed me by the scruff of my neck. She didn't like it but then, neither did I. I don't want Raven to get jealous or think that I'm going to leave her in favor of someone else. Raven is the only one who truly understands me. No one can replace that. I like spending time with her. It's easy. We don't even have to talk much. We just know. I've never had that with anyone else. But this is going to complicate things. How can I play with her if I don't know when she's going to snap? We'll figure something out, I'm sure of it.

I hate seeing her bite herself. Any kind of self trauma just loosk awful, especially with those big jaws she has. I imagine them sinking right through her meat but of course she'll heal almost instantly. That's the good thing about our kind but I bet it still hurts. I hate seeing her like this. I know she's doing it for my sake but I still hate seeing it. She keeps falling down and every time I want to run to her and see if she's okay. I know she's probably blaming herself every time she goes down too. I can practically feel her sadness. Suddenly she shifts back human, making herself nude this time instead of clothed. I blink in curiosity and wait to see what happens.

She slowly sits up putting her head in her hands and I tilt my head, my tail waving slowly. I can see all her scars plainly now and it only makes me scowl. I hate that someone did that to her. I can see that she's been through a lot and I just want to comfort her. Finally she looks up at me and I prick my ears, giving her my full attention. I nod at the end to let her know I heard and I understand. She looks so helpless right now. Finally she breathes out and then cautions me to be more careful around her. When she mentions not sticking around, I whimper. Finally I gather my courage and step closer, moving up to her leg. Reaching out, I sniff her before offering a shy lick to her knee. Then I sit down before her and wag my tail, my blue gold eyes determined, letting her know that I'm here to stay, no matter what.
