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.

Sure, he could surf better than her, he could read better than her, and he probably was a little more prude than her, but there were so many other things that she could do that he could not. She could hunt far better than he ever could. A coyote was built to hunt. A great dane? They just lounged around all day. His breed used to hunt bores at one point, but that had been long bred out of the breed. Now they were just known for their laziness and gentle giant mentality.

Her comment about not knowing his hunting skills had him chuckling lightly for a moment. "Great Danes aren't exactly known for their ferocious hunting capabilities. If you're talking about hunting the best couches, I'm sure I could conquer that one with ease." He laughed lightly, enjoying this little banter.

But when the conversation toned down, her saying that she liked him just the way he was and that she thought him the best, he blushed even harder that time. It had been so long since anyone had even bothered to pay him any sort of compliments that it was hard to accept them. "I can assure you that I am not the best." There were far more weres that were better than he was in a lot of ways. He was just an ordinary southern boy. There really wasn't anything fancy about him.

He watched her then paddle out, her enthusiasm for catching that next wave making him smile. He was beginning to see the determination in her and he liked it. He admired the fact that she wasn't giving up, no matter how hard surfing was.

But when she fell off the board and into the water, he was right there to catch her. Even as she came up hacking and coughing, he kept her close, his hand moving to gentle pat on her back to help clear her lungs of the water. Secondary drowning was a real thing. He had a feeling her alpha would not care for him if he allowed her to drown.

He gave her some helpful advice, to not lose focus and she might be able to stay on her board. At her banter, he chuckled. "You can share your success after you ride the wave." He nodded his head for extra emphasis before he handed her the floating board as encouragement to continue. And when she asked if she should go again, he nodded. "We'll do this as long as you want to." He would stay out here all day if she wanted.
