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.

Aside from what urges that took hold of me upon my first night as that.. demon, I had never been inclined to explore the city as much as I have in this one, singular day. But then perhaps I have made up for all of those lost times. It was not so much that I disliked the opportunity to discover new things and places to visit, but more so in the fact that I had never wanted to interact with such strangers on each outing I took.

Today, and perhaps every day from this, was quite different. Where I had become comfortable in my loneliness before, seeking happiness in books and art, I find it quite dispiriting. I now long for the company to share my dark secrets with and to seek advice and insight on these things that I do not and cannot quite understand. No other goal and no greater obstacle now lies in my path now that I have changed - and I know that I cannot go back to how I was before. Though I hope that these preconceptions are incorrect.

The death of dusk now brings in the darkest of twilight, the dismal colors of the last breath of the sun finally fading into nothing but blackened hues of night speckled with the first stars so eager to shine in the darkness. I continue to walk further into the park, finding myself approaching the garden just shortly ahead, perhaps a sign of some sorts seeing as I love flowers incredibly so. Lamps dot the area although the shadows still find their way in the midst of it all, taking their places beyond the light's reach to offer protection for the stalkers of the night. I was not overly cautious, finding no reason to be in these moments as I walk slowly between the bushes, and yet there is this slight prodding in the back of my mind that I cannot ignore entirely.

I dismiss the feeling for a second too long and suddenly feel a powerful force bringing me to my knees from behind. My breath is taken from me in this slow motion moment and my weight comes crashing down upon my knees and palms as I brace myself against the fall. A sharp breath is exhaled through my lips and for a moment I am in complete shock. I cannot do anything, only sit there in silence as I try to understand what had just happened with me. But.. there are shoes in front of my face now and they lead upward to a face so cold and scrutinizing that I cannot comprehend what it is that he is truly after. There is nothing revealed in those warm hued eyes besides utter contempt. He speaks now, his tone mocking in its mannerism, although I do not miss the glimmer of seriousness behind each syllable. The words did not make much sense and so I did not respond as I began to make an attempt at piecing them together. He could mean nothing other than the fact that he knew I was.. this thing. He must have witnessed the change that horrible night and had sought after me to finish off what abomination I had become.

"Please.." It is the only word uttered as I press my palms into the earth to sit vertically now, green eyes beginning to shimmer with tears as I look up to him, as if begging him to do something. To provide the answer I had wanted all along. If I could not be myself, my true mortal self, then what life was this worthy enough to live?
