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 point of tonight was by no means supposed to be a teaching of social customs. Before she even got ready to go to Syn she had it in mind to take him somewhere other than staying in the West. Although he claimed he owned the entire area she assumed he would want to get far away from that hellhole of a prison as possible. It was rare for her to have a night all to herself, but one night while Tobi was stuck at Syn she had discovered this patch of long grass. It was difficult finding places unclaimed within the outskirts. Trespassing on owned lands was just one of the many Were-laws that were never meant to be broken. Should she stray a hair over claimed lands without proper permission they had a right to hunt her down. She had no grounds to claim as her own, no place to be protected, no one to rely on for help, and so, she did her best to keep herself from such a terrible dilemma. Raven's goal tonight was to simply give her deranged companion a night of fun. The fireflies were meant to be a simple thing to chase. There was supposed to be enjoyment at chasing those tiny creatures, but for some reason the lights were not as enticing as she thought they would be to the feline. He had something else in mind and sadly the girl was unaware of such a thing. Chasing him around the fields he had an unfair advantage. Though it would seem her soft plea and using 'please' seemed to have some sort of effect on him, or at least, she thought.

Turning her head wildly around, her soft curly locks swung to the side, she managed to catch the sight of the top of his spotted head. Turning her entire form around she stood in his direction watching as he slowly came forward. As his golden fur began to recede she would take one step towards him lowering her arms to not show herself as a threat, like she had earlier. The top of his black ears seemed to fit perfectly within his tangled messy dark locks as they twitched back and forth. Somber slate eyes noticed the familiar flickering of his spotted tail as he brought it forward. Standing quietly she took note in how he carried himself, noticing how he was attempting to give off such a childish apologetic look. His ears falling back expressing his regret and really she did not buy it. Not once had he ever shown remorse and she doubted he was feeling that right now. Though if she was hooked to a lie detector there was no way she could deny saying he did look rather adorable like that. However, her face remained in dismay as her slate eyes met his dark pools flecked with those golden hues of his other form. It wasn't like Tobias to outright ask a question, but she was used to explaining things to him. Shrugging her shoulders she gave her response gently to him.

"A relationship...is what you describe your bond between people."

Well, it was the best way she could say it. With Tobias she understood that when she spoke or explained anything to him it needed to be done in a simplified manner. The simpler the better. Though really knowing Tobias she would have to provide him with more information. Puzzled she would sigh and shake her head before simply sitting down on the ground. Long nimble fingers picking at the grass before patting on the ground beside her for him to join. Giving him a kind smile she would speak softly once again, but keeping her voice slow and pausing every once in a while to make sure he was understanding what she was saying.

"For example: You and Tetra are best friends...and very close like brothers...so...you call him...'brother.' You and Naddy are very close like siblings...so you call her 'sister.' The relationship to Tetra is called brother...the relationship to Naddy is called sister."

As they sat quietly the thunderstorm that had been rolling in the distance was slowly making its approach. As the wind began to pick up the thick tall grass blades began to sway side to side their touch a bit ticklish on the skin. A few stands of her soft golden-brown curls moved to cover her mutilated face and one hand reached forward to brush most of those strands away. Slate eyes shifted away from him as she focused on her fingers yanking out some of the blades from the ground. Once more her gentle voice rang out her eyes briefly meet his, pausing every now and then for his benefit.

"You are also connected to Tetra and Naddy through your pack...and so...the relationship is called packmates."

Now that the relationship definition and examples were established she could go back to her main point that even started this discussion in the first place. For a moment her fingers would stop plucking the grass, long nimble fingers began to curl and twist around one another, once more a bit nervous about this topic. She didn't understand why he kissed her or what exactly brought him to do it. Perhaps Nadya spoke to him about it, although why the WerePanther would do such a thing was beyond her, but she was sure the woman wouldn't have told him to outright kiss her. Then again she didn't know Nadya all that well so who knew? She just hoped he understood what he was doing to her and it was driving her crazy. She liked him, her feelings were growing into a more affectionate state, but she knew very well that if he didn't feel or think that way towards her this could lead to a very bad problem. So, once again, she would explain it, but she would continue to talk softly, slowly, pausing every now and then to make sure he had some comprehension as to what she had to say.

"A boyfriend and girlfriend relationship is sort of like the mate relationship...there is one boy and one girl...you are close to that person, you are protective of that person, you like to hang out with that person, you do anything and everything with that person."

Tonight was supposed to be fun and although she had enjoyed chasing the fireflies and being at his side, Raven couldn't help, but Beg The Question as to why he was treating her this way. Those three out of the blue stolen kisses simply left her baffled, wondering just want in the world her deviant companion was up to.
