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 man stared at me as if trying to figure me out before finally saying that the past was the past. I don't know what self care had to do with anything, but I'll bite. "Self care can only stall the loneliness for a little while. How long as it lasted you?" I tilted my head, watching and waiting. At least he seemed to agree that the newspaper crew didn't have much more to write about. Well, they might have more if they actually knew half of what was going on beneath their noses in Sacrosanct. If they knew all the deep dark secrets of the netherworld that made up this city. Then they'd never have another dull article, but alas most of them were probably human and oblivious. Or some were supernatural and thought it best to hide in plain sight, something I understood all too well. The man took the comment about hiding one's identity in stride, all but bowing for show as he claimed no one could be him. I couldn't help the wry smirk on my lips. "Too true." He went on to brag a little bit, saying he did the shape shifting for fun and I arched a brow. "Then what makes you good?"

It was entertaining if nothing else, bantering back and forth with the man. I could tell he didn't like me holding the newspaper over him, wanting something in return for knowledge. I might as well get some information on the creature before me while I'm here. I asked if he could shift into animals and he sounded exasperated as he said to leave that to the Were's. Okay, so no check on the animal shifting, got it. My mind continued to mull over the possibilities while she chewed on the fact that I wasn't giving up the paper without getting what I was offered. When I wagged my finger, I'm pretty sure I saw his eyes darken. Amusement glittered in my own. Someone was getting impatient. When he asked about trust, I couldn't help but chuckle. "Why should I? You come to me an imposter. Nothing I see or hear is true." I raised a brow in challenge. I knew I had him in my web when I lowered my voice. He asked who I wanted him to be and I brought my hand up, gripping my chin as if in thought for a moment before my gaze went back to him.

"Yourself. I desire to know who I'm truly talking to." I wonder how often he got that request.
