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.

and so we fall like toy soldiers;

we all fall down like toy soldiers
He watches her, watches the way her face is turned to the moon and watches the way the silver of it plays across her face. It illuminates her cheekbones, casting the rest of her face into shadow and slipping its way across her lips and over her collarbone. It wouldn't be socially acceptable for him to stop and pull out a sketchbook that was considered creepy.
Her gaze turns to him and there is something there that fascinates him, her voice is almost too cheerful for the current mood. Her words are enough to pull a laugh from between his lips, a quick short burst that rings in the air before the cold strangles it. "Maybe you should be more careful," He says, "Or you just need someone to remind you." That one brings a grin to his lips, tilting them up at the corners as he takes a drag of the cigarette. The smoke billows out, lifting clear of their heads and drifting away as if it were never there at all. His words are something he may have said to his little sister if she'd said the same, but it was him that would be forgetful and pay the price.
Something nefarious and he laughs because, if she were, she wouldn't admit it. "Thought you may be waiting on some date or something, if so, I'm cramping your style" his words are teasing and he turns towards her, shifting his body and angling it her way as she grabs a cigarette and then the zippo from his fingers.
The cigarette flares into life and the lighter is back in his hands and her words are questioning, curious and his hands flip the lid of the lighter and the flame lights up in his hands and his thumb lingers just a little too long in the flames.
You look far too nice to be of the overly mischievous sort and he laughs again, this wasn't how he expected his evening to go. He shrugs a shoulder, giving her a boyish grin, "Looks can be far too deceiving." He says this with a wave of his hand as if writing it off. If only she knew about the things he has done and could do with just a few items. Maybe he did fit into the murderer category; did it count if he was ten years old? He was sure it did, the man on the bed with the glass through his throat. Or the hundreds of men and women who had died in the fires of his making. It brought darkness into his gaze for a brief moment, but when she introduces herself it flees.
"Finn" He offers, holding out his hand. He had manners, now, he should start acting like it.
