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.

Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true



The uneventful plane ride meant Nadya was able to get the rest necessary for their excurcion. She was most grateful for the familiar face of her boyfriend to return when they were finally off the plane. Now that they were in his homeland, it was her turn to simply stand at his side and let him do the talking...none of which she understood. Nadya could only smile politely and help load their things into the rented car and enjoy the scenery as Frost drove them out to the designated drop off site. "Volcano?" Nadya raised a brow as she considered those peaks in the distance. "How often do they...go off?" The most she knew about a volcano came from her high school days with Pompeii and that didn't exactly end well. Were they going to be racing against a volcano eruption along with hunters? Nadya nodded mutely in understanding though about staying out of the water. She was sure that Frost's heat ability could keep her from dying of the cold but that was only if he was near.

Nadya glanced out at the park Frost spoke of as she pulled the large saddle from the trunk. To her it looked like a vast space of green and rocks with no end. She followed the training that they had done many times before in laying the blanket then fastening the saddle upon her stallion's back. Nadya took this quiet moment before a surely long adventure to press her forehead to Frost's. Those practiced icelandic words were offered so easily to her boyfriend. She wanted him to know, to hear it, how she trusted him completely in this and everything else. A warm smile crossed her features at his reply before she lifted herself up onto that saddle.

Although she was still no master, Nadya felt at ease riding now so when Frost took off across that land there was no tension in her body anymore. As always, Nadya was grateful for his ability to keep the chill of the air from touching her skin. It certainly made the journey easier though after those first few hours it wasn't the chill but the ache in her legs. The quiet of the journey was interrupted when Frost's words slipped into her mind, drawing her attention to the present.

Nadya watched as that once distance water display became bigger and bigger until it towered above them. She smirked and rolled her eyes at his innuendo. "It's beautiful." Joking aside it was the grandest natural splendor she had ever seen. She had never doubted when Frost had spoken of his homeland of just how beautiful it was. Seeing it was better than hearing about it. "Is this the only one in the park?" Her gaze shifted to the surrounding area which gave way to only more green expanse. She couldn't imagine a child wandering this on their own. "How....how old were you..when you left?" She knew so little about that time of his life. Normally she didn't ask, instead wanting him to feel that he could talk about it when he wanted. However, now they had nothing but time on their travel for her to wonder about it.
