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.

I'm more alive than I've ever been


It is a wholesome and rare thing, this small collection of moments that they share with one another; as unfettered and pure as ever they could have yearned for them to be. Isolt clings to them, not in the wantonly-desperate manner with which one might clutch ever-tightening fingers about a dwindling fistful of escaping sand, but in the way that one embraces a lover after a long, harrowing absence. The vampire queen is patient, unperturbed in her enjoyment of these fleeting moments, perfectly content to have the chauffeur pilot them to the very ends of this terrestrial earth so long as she might remain here with the two greatest loves of her life. Here, with Damon's hands resting with an uncharacteristic gentleness against the swell of her belly as their unborn child taps out a soft tempo in response to the pressure of his loving caress.

But this moment, as with all that had come before and all that would transpire in turn, drew to an end with the slow halting of the automobile and the burst of salted sea air that curled so brazenly against Isolt's nostrils with the opening of the car door. Intrigue sparkles against the azure of her eyes as the redheaded woman clasps her lover's hand, allowing herself to be lead onto the worn and weathered boards of the dock that groan in subtle protest beneath their shared paces. A sly grin plucks coyly at the rounded pillows of her lips as Isolt casts a sidelong glance to her husband, nodding in the direction of the title scrawled across the stern of the vessel. "'Red Goddess', hmm? I wonder where that came from..." she jests, nudging him playfully as he guides her gently wobbling form unto the sailboat.

Heeding a silent cue does Isolt begin to leisurely meander about the immaculately-appointed deck, the night's cool evening zephyr playing its agile fingers through the strands of crimson silk that had fallen to frame the supple curves of her jawline. It is only the snapping billow of the sails as they pull the heft of the vessel out to sea that draws her from the hypnosis of the evening's wares, her eyes finding the dark silhouette of her husband's figure perched so stoically behind the crescent of the ship's wheel. She approaches him, the swaying of her hips having perhaps an even greater measure of allure given the newfound ampleness of her figure, easily pressing herself against him as she places her body between his and the heavily-polished wood of the wheel. Delicate fingers curl about his forearms, her back pressed against his chest as Isolt lifts her eyes to gaze back into his. "Where to, Captain?"
