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.

To say that Emmy was a little trigger happy was an understatement. She was still very new to the city and wasn't quite used to all the strange creatures that strolled the streets. From where she was from, it was practically illegal to be anything but human. Her being a witch is precisely what got her into the mess she currently found herself in. But this creature...this vampire, was something she had never encountered before. She wasn't sure if they had a tendency to be good, evil, or somewhere in between. While she was happy he had helped ward off her attackers, she was still unsure about him.

His hands were open to her, showing her that he meant her no harm. Her sword was still poised at him as he slowly put his hands back into his pockets. He seemed relaxed, but she was as tense as ever. She was still so very unsure about him. However, he shouldn't feel too bad...she had the same reaction when she met Raven just the previous night.

Emmy asks him what he was, hoping that he wasn't the monster she had often read about in books like Twilight, Dracula, or even from movies like 30 days of Night. She didn't have much experience at all with vampires, so she had no real clue how to react around him. His voice, though, was soft and soothing. Not to mention, his accent was to die for. She couldn't help it that she found a man with an accent to be quite attractive. "I'm hoping my assumptions are wrong." Granted, her assumptions were based mostly on folklore, but she had no one to rewrite her negative connotations about vampires. Maybe he could do that for her.

She senses the movement as he turns to walk towards her bag. She was just about to demand he leave her things alone before he's already bending down to pick up the satchel. He walks closer to her, holding her bag out for her...as close as he could get to her without walking onto her sword. His words still appeared kind and she wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe that he meant her no harm. Raven had said the same thing and she had been true to her word. Maybe she should relax herself a little.

It's only when he cracks the joke about his weak points that she slowly lowers the sword and moves to replace it in its sheath. Why would he openly disclose his weakness unless he was trying to prove that he truly didn't mean any harm to her. She reaches for the bag once her sword is put away, grabbing it from him and hanging it loosely over her neck and shoulder so it laid across her chest. "I will kill you if you try to harm me." Because of what had happened in her life, she was very slow to trust. Treat her right and she'll eventually open up. Emmy was just one of those that reacted first â€" found out the reasons later. Perhaps if she had been raised to be a little more open with others, then maybe she wouldn't be so distrusting.
