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 places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

Sterling's head bobbed as Henry suggested they pack up any mementos they wished to bring with them, his own gaze shifted towards the mantle place and those pictures his lover had been earlier eying. He'd almost forgotten they were there. Henry had always been more fond of cementing those sweet moments in photographs and frames then he was - though seeing them now made him almost glad for it. It was a reminder of all those times they'd spent together that didn't end in some disaster. But this time would be better. He was determined. Hell, he would be better this time. It was that notion upon his thoughts that caused his crystalline gaze to turn upwards towards his boyfriend, his name falling from his lips, followed afterwards by those three simple words - I love you. It wasn't often, really, that either of the two actually voiced that sentiment. After all, Henry had always been more physical in his display of emotions and Sterling had never pressed the issue prior to now. And yet, with him so removing that physical aspect from their relationship, it only seemed natural to voice that adoration he felt in anyway he could.

Sterling hardly expected that brush of Henry's lips across his own, his hand rose to press gingerly against the back of Henry's neck, so willing to deepen that once chaste kiss into something else entirely. There was no denying his ever present want for the man, his own efforts to remove that intimacy that had so ruined them before was perhaps as difficult for Sterling as it surely was for Henry. Still, that moment couldn't last forever and slowly he released his hold upon Henry as his lover pulled away from him. A small simper danced upon his features at the warm touch of Henry's breath against his ear. Those softly uttered words had a way of so producing butterflies in his chest and in that moment, there was exactly no other place he wanted to be more then with Henry's arms - even as the man pulled him further against his chest. Those words that left Henry's lips caused laughter to spill across his own, Sterling nodded ever so quickly in agreement, "He's an ass all the time." He added, knowing well what his head chef was like in the kitchen. "But...I guess...now that I know I actually have prior experience, maybe I can get a better job to be home more?" Sterling glanced upwards at Henry, as if looking for some reassurance that such was a thing the man would even want.
