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.

He waited for her to join him in the water, hoping that she would find their surf lesson invigorating and educational. However, as she entered the water, he couldn't help the smile and the chuckle that escaped after she seemed to balk at the temperature of the water. "Come on, it'll get better if you submerge yourself and just get it over with." Once he was out waist deep, he dipped underwater and at first, it was cold, but then he slowly began to warm up. "You'll get used to it in a little bit. And as the sun comes up more, you'll feel good." He hoped that the water temperature wouldn't be a deterrent for her. There was so much to learn and do!

He tried to distract her by asking her to look at the board as it floated on the water. When she asked how it stayed afloat, he smiled. "It's probably a little confusing to you, but let's just keep it simple and say the materials help it float." The freshly waxed material would float even if her body weight was on it. It was less dense than the water around her so it would always float.

He told her to come out and get on the board, and her hesitancy make him chuckle lightly. He nodded his head. "Yes, I do!" He would help her learn to surf but she had to be willing to try. He watched her as she moved towards him, trudging her way through the cold water to get to him.

Once she was near him, she asked how she was supposed to get on. He smiled. "I'll hold it steady. But you need to grab the end and jump onto it. Then scoot yourself up on it to where you're laying all along the board." He took his hands and held the board steady, expecting to feel the weight of her as she hoisted herself onto the board.
