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.

Sebastian Ellington-Aragona

I thought you knew I was filthy rich
I thought you knew I never answer my phone
I thought you knew I was a late night with a bad bite I thought you knew.

That childish scream seemed to pierce the once tranquil night, setting his senses on high alert. His gait increased, the vampire near rushing up that dune only for his crystalline blue eyes to survey the scene of his fallen maker and an entirely baffled young woman. His inquiry of what happened was perhaps far more demanding than the Italian Prince intended as he scooped the child into his arms. The respective tone to her voice caused his eyebrows to furrow. His lips pressed together ever so slightly before Sebastian turned towards the girl, commenting softly in French in an effort to calm the screaming Anna-Marie. Her shriek seemed to abruptly cease as she shuddered in his grasp, only to open her sapphire gaze to eye him bewilderedly. An equally as perplexed look crossed Sebastian's own features before Anna-Marie climbed out of his arms, that fit over just as abruptly as it had begun. It was a wholly peculiar tantrum, leaving Sebastian almost unsure of whether or not he should be concerned. The vampire watched in an almost hovering fashion as his maker began to circle the innocent young woman, fearing, perhaps, for both of their safety. After all, Anna-Marie, though she had certainly gotten...remarkably better of late, was not known for her tendency to play well with mortals.

He hardly interjected, however, as the child reached out to touch the woman's hair and then her face. The last thing he anticipated, truly, was the sudden smile upon Anna-Marie's features. Surely that was a good sign, wasn't it? Sebastian cleared his throat at the French words the child offered the woman, making an effort to translate it. "I believe you remind her of someone." The Englishman informed the woman, though why such had prompted such an immediate reaction continued to baffle him. Discovering anything of value behind his maker's past had been...exceedingly difficult. A weak simper crossed his features as Anna-Marie offered him a pleasant grin all over again as if the encounter had not been terrifying nearly moments before. This, it seemed, was something that Sebastian had to simply accept just as he did so many facets of the far older vampire. It was, however, the girl's sketches that intrigued him perhaps as much as it had the child. His own husband, after all, was an exceptional artist in his own right and, in turn, Sebastian had seen his fair share of both art galleries, pencil sketchings, and painted masterpieces.

He glanced down at the sketchbook Anna-Marie held within her hand, only to correct the girl gently. "Ma Petite, you should ask before taking someone else's things. Do forgive us Miss, I fear she can be...overenthusiastic." He searched for the right word to explain his maker and though it fell drastically short, Sebastian made every effort all the same, entirely aware that his newfound status of royalty required some level of...decorum from them both lest the woman recognized him and complain to the media of a screaming child and less than pleasant Prince.
