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.

Somewhere beneath that tousled white hair those violet eyes remain fixated upon the newest object of his interest, continuing to lean back against the frosted tree with the same callous manner in which he does so very much. The snarl that vibrates from the darkened creature manages to earn the wolfess little more than the lift of a snowy eyebrow and a typically male non-committal grunt by way of response. Snarl and hiss- it was all predators ever did, ridiculously stupid creatures that they were and yet, for now at least, Frost was content enough to remain where he was. It was her attempts at change that so seemed to lure his fickle attention once more, watching as flesh and fur contorted and fell to leave the twisted fragments of a woman- rather than a beast upon the earth. A rather skinny scrap of a woman. That violet gaze remains content upon her now, peering through lashings of white at her exposed frame, taking a moment to examine her feminine figure despite the angulation and lines that made for rather a vile sight when considered for far too long. The female form holds little by way of discovery for the equine, he has known the purpose of women from a young age, learned to use them entirely for that purpose by his early teens- lived amongst a Were community for much of his existence and as such her nakedness holds little influence upon the man save for the brief look of examination her offers, making no effort to avert his gaze despite the discomfort is surely brings, the pathetically sad little creature drawing her knees upward before wrapping her arms about them like an infant child as her body struggled to accept this change. She would be far more pleasing, he has decided, were she not so.....bony. In fact, she may well have been almost attractive if not for her annoyingly distasteful malnutrition.

His attention slides coolly from the ragged woman and towards the shirt she so desired, one hand reaching down to effortlessly snatch the softened white garment from the floor he had deposited it on mere moments ago, turning the garment over between long fingers in a manner almost...teasing.

"Now why.....would I want to do that?"

What possible joy was there in allowing her to have, quite literally, the shirt from his back? What possible pleasure or advantage could be gleamed from such a selfless act? Judging by the girl she had little, if anything to offer in exchange for such a nice shirt and truthfully- he has no desire nor inclination to offer her assistance. Her plea, rasped from within her throat- along with her admittance of her own stupidity at least seemed to vaguely amuse the cruel creature as he moved to wander forward and towards her now, feet scuffing at the earth in a deliberate effort to dawdle all the same. He moves to crouch before her now, shirt held within his hands as he rests within this position, close enough to feel what little heated emanated from within her frame.

"Tell me- what possible pleasure would I get from giving you my shirt, hmm? Helping damsels in distress really isn't my part in this story and I'm afraid my heart lacks the goodness from which helping some sad little wretch would surely come."

There is a darkness to those words, an underlying chill that exits beneath every smooth, deep lyric that resonates from parted lips. A smirk of sorts, a cool and cold as the air itself manages to work it's way across his lips, the titanium pendant about his neck managing to glint once more in that dappled light as he holds that shirt so close and yet- just out of her reach. He likes to...test them, to tease at them, to see what sort of spirit existed in a creature as seemingly useless as this one, some part of himself seeming to enjoy this moment with a sadistic pleasure of sorts and yet one he reigned in- at least for now.

"Let's have a look at you then."

His free hand simply lifts, index finger sliding beneath her chin, lifting her head in the same moment he moves to shake his own mess of hair away, offering her a view of his own youthful features for perhaps the first time, strange violet eyes meeting her own. Hmm. She was young, his age if not maybe a year younger, attractive- if not for her gauntness and yet her potentially value was still somewhat-illusive. He makes no move to apologise, hardly seems to care that he treats her the way one treats a beast in a sales yard- expects a compliance of sorts, after all, Alpha blood runs thickly within him- he is used to others yielding to his will and expects no differently from this woman, wolf or otherwise. Those sinfully heated fingers trail almost coaxingly away, releasing his hold upon her at last.

"I suppose your passable. You'd be a good one night stand if not for the fact I think I'd fucking break you and where's the fun in that?- I'd have to do all the work myself then."

A chuckle seems to find itself within his throat, a rough, wicked sound that sees his shirt suddenly tossed towards her before he moves to lean away, easing back up and into his feet now as she puts on the shirt, his own half-naked form still oblivious to the cold as arms fold back across his chest- looking down at the woman at his feet.

"So what's your sad little story?"

If she had a little fire, a little spark.....maybe he'd even keep her.
