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.

The boy with locks of brandished gold and dark eyes, stands with the coyote as a golden eyed jackal. He was smaller than her in stature and frame, as was his animal, somewhere between the size of a coyote and a fox. He tilts that head though with her words, golden eyes watching her carefully. "Yeah I suppose," he says, those honey hued eyes narrowing slightly, but whatever suspicion or confusion he felt was quickly gone. Really, what was it his business? His attention is quickly caught with her next words, those ears swiveling forward towards the coyote. Raiding? Was she a thief like himself? This could certainly prove interesting. "Really?" He asks, those golden eyes surely showing some interest as he tilts that tawny head of his, there is a hint of a smirk even in his voice.

"Coyotes? Like real coyotes?" Marcelo asks her, curious to say the least. Marcelo had always kept his distance from actual animals. Their thoughts always seemed shambled, and certainly not focused on drinking or partying. "How long did you live with them?" He asks. Marcelo had run ins with real animals, but most of them time he simply turned away, leaving the poor creature to figure out what they had just experienced. How this girl actually managed to live with them, was beyond the jackal's comprehension. "The pack I lived with liked to stay in were form longer than I enjoyed," he says. It had been a good time, a time he had needed to let his head fall into a simpler time. But, it was not as if Marcelo had wanted to stay that way forever. "I am far too hot in my human form not to shift back," he says almost cheekily. "You should check it out some time." Honestly, such a flirt. He really never passes up an opportunity.

She leads him through the trees and he follows her, not knowing where she could be leading him. Still, what was life without a bit of mystery? When the boars come into sight, Marcelo closes the remaining distance comes to send beside her, taking in the sight before him. "Bacon is probably my favorite food group," he says with a breath of laughter. He watches then as the female takes off and attacks the boar. It is violent, but nothing more than predator attacking prey, she was likely to end up at the slaughter house anyway. But, Marcelo can see from the way she is attacking the boar, that she did not seem to be attacking to kill. It is only then that he notices the boar is not the only thing in the pen, but he spies some piglets as well. Was she attacking the boar so that he could attack the piglets? Well, she was about to be disappointed. "Not kids," he says, even if they weren't human or were, or otherwise, he did not attack young. He lets out a loud enough yip to get her attention. He had an idea, that would guarantee to get both of them fed, and maybe treat the girl that seemed to wildly adventurous. Even if he was not rather excited about takin out some piglets, he certainly did not want to leave the girl hungry. Hopefully, his idea was enough to convince her for a night out on the town. "Hey!" He shouts. "How about we get an actual steakâ€"my treat!" Whether the coyote girl agreed or not would be up to her, but Marcelo just knew that he could not attack those little baby pigs. (I mean, did you see how cute they looked?) But, he certainly could go for a steak.
