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.

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 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.
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.
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 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 man's guise was slowly deteriorating before me as all kinds of new gestures were making themselves known. First, he smirked in a way that didn't seem at all natural given the wrinkle patterns of the facial features I was looking at. Then he made some sort of noise that I could only describe as an awkward giggle but sounded all wrong in that deep monotone. He confirmed that there was indeed dating trouble and I couldn't help but smile. "Want to talk about it?" I asked with a raised brow. I was if nothing else, a good listener. When I mentioned the article about the peeping tom, he seemed to shrug it off, saying he didn't know why they bothered to write about that and he couldn't see how the suspect was so bad at it to get caught. I couldn't help but chuckle. "They have to find something to write about, I guess." I said with a shrug. "Not everyone can have a super power to hide their true identity." I raised a brow at the figure beside me, obviously making a point. When the subject came around to me teasing him, the man made a very disgruntled sound and I couldn't help but smirk. This was entertaining, if nothing else. The man was so enthralled with the newspaper. I was almost waiting for him to ask me to read it to him. He said I could pick his next form and I couldn't help my own curiosity, asking if he could change into more than just people. He took away one option, saying not objects, and that made a small scowl on my lips before I shrugged it off and tilted my head. "What about animals?" Couldn't hurt to ask. It was interesting that he said all he needed was some sort of visual then his magic would do the rest. Would shapeshifting be a power I could have used? Perhaps so, but I'd never been one to hide who I truly was. I liked to hide in plain sight. When the article about foreplay came back into conversation, I couldn't help but chuckle as he told me to prove I had it memorized. "And give you exactly what you want before I get my return? Tsk, tsk." I said with a simple wag of my finger. The man asked about the nitty gritty and it was all I could do not to grin. I slid the paper under my leg as I tilted my head at him. "Then I definitely wouldn't get my return. Nitty gritty refers to the good stuff, the behind-closed-doors stuff....where flesh meets flesh and carnal desires come into creation." My voice slowly lowered to a growling whisper by the end of it, drawing everything out to entice him all the more. It might be seen as strange if I were actually speaking this way to a man, but if my hunch was correct, this "man" was anything but a man, and luckily I was in a very playful mood tonight. |
