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.

I would start off by saying historically, I have a bad record of mishaps and mistakes when it comes to vampires, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. Change the terminology around, and I think it would be reasonable to say that recently my track record has been marred by mistakes made unconsciously by me, if not entirely directed by outside influence. Meetings, "hits", and exterminations had been unfortunately miscalculated... There you go, another 'mis'. I found myself getting increasingly sick of what looked like a wake of personal mistakes, when I hadn't been given full disclosure of information on what were supposed marks, but hesitant to do a whole hell of a lot about it, considering the lack of disclosure had to come from a source that wanted one of my miscalculations to mean a personal end. Instead, the realization that someone might want me dead pushed me ever closer to finding a solution, and drowning the hesitation. A part of me felt like treading water, and simply ceasing to exert any kind of predatory behavior that would render others dead. The other parts? They were undecided, ruling more of a democracy instead of the authoritarian rule that my brain generally fell under. I usually found myself united, full steam ahead, and more than a hundred percent full throttle. But now? If I made a move in one direction, one side of me said that I could wind up like the body I was having particular trouble desintigrating: (hopefully on his part) dead, rotting, drained of blood, and abandoned in a leech infested area. All parts of me hadn't united on the decision to involve someone else, especially a vampire I didn't want to trust, but y'know... There's a term for that: fuck it. I didn't want to do the work myself because supernatural bodies were harder to turn to dust than human bodies, and that limited me a larger amount than I wanted to admit. Involving someone else gave me a greater opportunity to succeed in the finality of the man that I was supposed to kill; a far greater opportunity, and at the hands of a fucking vampire. I don't know what possessed me to allow the subcontractor position to exist, but the democratic, ruling party of my being had suggested that in interest of self preservation, it was more than necessary. The terrorist faction? Yeah, that part of me was getting ready to wage some kind of jihad and commit all kinds of acts of demolition I could possibly muster. That same terrorist faction was getting ready to stage a coup and over throw my reason, suggesting I should find the vampire I'd hired and do away with him, too. Instead of waiting at the seedy bar we had discussed, I finished my drink and left a bland tip for the bartender before scooting my ass out the back exit. Instinct told me that he wouldn't follow our plans to a t. Okay, my plans. Being the authoritarian ruler that I was, I had given him guidelines that I wanted followed, but let's be real. The leach would do as he felt, and I hoped my instinct was right in that he would take the body elsewhere to dispose of it in his favorite manner. It wasn't long before the shadows of the alleys in the seedy part of the city where the bar had been located ebbed away and were taken over by the towering shadows of trees that surrounded a remote graveyard. The air always felt different, to me, when supernatural creatures were around. I don't know if that's because their bodies weren't necessarily natural to the earth that I found so familiar, or what the hell ever, but it often left a bitter taste in my mouth that I was more than eager to remove. By the edge of the trees, the landscape was covered with innumerous shapes of headstones, littering the darkness with the tell-tale metallic of the granite or metallica hidden in the stones. Here, you could almost taste the musk of decaying bodies while the air was riddled with a heaviness brought on not only by the darkness of night, but by the still silence that filled it. I took a deep breath, exhaling to appreciate the visible evidence of my breath. The visual reminded me I hadn't had a cigarette since leaving the bar, which made a different part of me want to reward myself with one. Instead, I slid my hands into my pockets to keep my fidgeting fingers still and remove the nicotine temptation. It was easier said than done, and I wound up closer to the woods on the opposite side of the graveyard with the cigarette between my lips, the smoke emanating in that same heavy, thick air. I saw his form before the body near him, and inwardly felt a sense of pride. I had known he was going to be here, which drew a smile to my lips. The vampire I'd hired didn't seem like that much of a waste of flesh as he was clearly successful. I'd realized, slowly, that maybe I had been played and he had managed to draw â€"me- here. While I wanted to be mad, I nearly couldn't be, finding a smirk tugging the corners of my lips. "I really don't like admitting this," I said, my voice slow and deliberate as I made my way into the shadows where the body was, and the vampire. " I hate vampires. But you're pretty impressive for an unnatural leech." There. That was a nice compliment for a job well done, right? davante Aiming to misbehave. |
