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.

She set out from Frost's house this morning with a purpose in mind. She told him that she would start looking for packless Were's to join them and she was going to do just that, and with style too. She knew there had to be other Were's out there looking for purpose, for friends, for family. She had nothing against Tetradore and his pack but she wasn't a part of that pack. She was friends with him and Henry and she wasn't their pack mate. She was under Frost and she actually liked him and Nadya. They were nice. The ground was damp beneath her paws as she trotted further into the woods surrounding Sacrosanct. She knew she'd have just as much luck sniffing them out in animal form than if she walked around town in human form, sniffing the air for a sign. If they were a true Were, they would shift and enjoy nature every once in a while.

That is, unless they were like her and didn't know they were a Were. She was in her coyote form for eight years, give or take. She thought that was all she was. She knew she was different. She thought differently than the other coyotes in her pack. But she was still a coyote. That is, until the wolf Raven and the panther Tetradore found her in the woods of Sacrosanct and told her what she really was. She was in denial for the longest time. There was no way she could be half human. She hated them. The first time she shifted, she was in a panic. Both because she was now staring at human hands and second, because she had been attacked and kidnapped by Hunters. Then Henry showed up and saved her. He was her truest friend, the first to befriend her, and he had been a human at the time. Now he was a Were too, turned by Tetradore himself. It was an odd story but she never felt more comfortable than when she was in his presence.

She paused as a new scent found her. A deer. Licking her lips, she crouched and waited. She didn't have to wait long either. She heard tiny hooves running toward her and next thing she knew, it raced past her, its eyes wide in panic. She tilted her head, confused for all of a second before a second figure raced by, this one much bigger. A....what the heck was that?! She'd never seen anything like it before. So much hair and it was just so big, probably even bigger than Tetradore and Henry in their panther forms. Curious, she followed after, taking in his scent and reading him as a Were. Bingo. It didn't take her long to find him munching on the remains of the deer. Seems he'd gotten his kill. Knowing like any animal, he'd probably more aggressive when eating, she stopped well away from him so he wouldn't feel threatened.

She cleared her throat to make sure he knew she was there, choosing to stay standing so she would be ready to run if he chose to attack. Her tail offered a wag to let him know she was friendly as she tilted her head and smiled. "Hello, I'm Malia. What ARE you?"
