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.

Fits and starts consume him as He twitches beneath the battered sleep of the healing. Whatever she has given him has begun to work but that doesn't mean he was out of the woods yet. Healing took time even in an immortal being. The poison responds to the medicine, pulled from its original course and out into the poultice. Thwarted from its purpose by the clever thinking of Blaise. All that Archer sees are memories. Dark hair and flashing eyes, a pouty smirk that becomes a look of wanton desire. She draws energy from him with each wicked touch and he longs for her. He reaches for her in his sleep, hands twitching out to hopelessly brush against Blaise. One hand falls on his wound and his whole body jerks but then he is swept back down in a tidal wave of memories.

The eyes turn to him and become something feral. They turn yellow, the pupil a pinprick, and she bursts into a snarling wolf. He crouched over her and broke her neck before pressing elongated teeth into her neck and consuming her blood. He would take back from her what she had stolen from him. Then she is back and he is not as consumed with craze. You succubus, he snarls, and she laughs with a twirl, clapping her hands. So you've figured me out, knight! Won't you stay with me? Fingers trail down his chest. Never. And then a flash and a burning and he feels a desire for blood. An overwhelming need.

Then he cracks open an eye and releases a deep, dry sigh, tongue resting fat and swollen in his mouth. He blinks slowly because the world feels dry and hot but he sees her head lift then, eyes staring at his widely. My Knight, she says and he reaches a hand to her own. They are flaked with blood still and a tiredness hangs about her. She had stayed up for hours for him, worried, and he finds his chest relaxing at it. He offers a tremulous smile that falters when she apologizes. "Don't," he croaks out, clearing his throat and trying to shift a little. His wound throbs with the movement so he stills with a sigh. "Don't be sorry. I said I would protect you. If that means poison then so be it." His eyes drift from the ceiling back to her, flicking across the wounds of her own she had neglected. "You should have treated yourself," he scolds, scowling. "What if infection sets in? Then you would be left with scars."

He can see the pain in her eyes but he cannot remember what he has said and thus feels as if he has neglected her. She suffered more because of him. With a low groan he throws his legs over the side of the couch, ignoring the pull of stitches as he slowly sits up with a grimace of pain. "Get some supplies. I'll clean it for you. Don't need to mar your pretty face," he says, hand cupping her sharp chin and smiling tiredly at her.
