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.

This Time I'm Not Scared

Man this girl really doesn't go out, does she? Maybe after listening to my Great Uncle lecture me on how much my life was going to suck now that I was a vile Were-creature, his words just got to me? I mean I am a young girl and it was the first time I was really getting a crash course about this whole underworld society. I don't really understand why this red raccoon doesn't understand the whole 'common sense' of being unseen. How much do you want to bet a human is going to come waltzing by and sees a stray horse, and a red raccoon with glowing green feet. I mean hell, the human might think they are drunk, drugged, or way too exhausted to understand what they are seeing. Maybe the human realizes his luck and decides to catch us both and us both off. Pretty damn sure a red raccoon with glowing feet is going to fetch a very pretty penny. Hell, maybe he'll want to breed her to make more red raccoons with glowing feet, and what the hell is wrong with me? I have seriously got to stop coming up with crazy 'what if's' scenarios.

While I walk us towards the tree, I can feel her tiny frame begin to bounce on my back, and I have to bite my tongue to tell her to calm down and sit still. I mean if she falls off my back and my massive hoof smashes her head, then she'll be dead, and I would have killed another Were. I have seen my kind in action, both horse and Were, when we are upset. Horses are no fucking joke. I mean we got weight, teeth, and deadly hooves. Whatever human attempted to ride the first horse must have been crazy, just like the first person decided to milk a cow. Eventually I manage to get us towards the apple tree, standing all by its lonesome, in the park. Easily I bring myself to a halt, allowing the creature on my back to be near the lowest branch. I turn my dial around to watch her as she struggles to try to grab the apple, and falls lightly on my back. Hearing her speak, I tilt my dial to the side. It is a red raccoon, surely it can climb up a tree like the grey one's. I guess I could get it for her. I mean it is no big deal. Turning my dial around I stretch my neck all the way out and manage to grab and tug off the one apple from the tree. Slowly I turn my dial around and place the apple near her so she can grab it.

"If you want any more apples, you're gonna have to get them yourself. That's the closest one I could reach."
