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.

I follow her scent through the snow, trying to keep up with it as it threatens to fade in the blistering wind that ruffles my bright scarlet coat. I stand out like a sore thumb here but I don't care. I haven't seen Raven since the day she chased me and the other werefox into a hole. I don't know if she was trying to protect us or wait it out to eat us but I want to believe it was a mixture of both. I know that she wasn't in ther right mind, otherwise she wouldn't have snapped at me but she didn't hurt me and that means something. I have no doubt that she could have if she wanted and while I may be fast, I'm still not always fast enough to escape trouble.

Raven has been my best friend ever since I came to Sacrosanct and I feel like I'll never stop owing her for all she's done for me. From giving me a place to stay to keeping me company and teaching me about civilization and living on my own and defending myself, she's given me so much and I feel like I haven't done anything to return the favor yet. Some day I hope to. I haven't seen much of her lately because she spends a lot of time with Tobias. I know that they are close, probably even mates by now, but I don't care about that. If Tobias makes her happy then that's great. I just care that I don't get to see her and she's the closest thing to pack I've ever had, someone that I actually care about and that cares about me and I want to know that she's okay.

I know that it may be a risk to go out and find her but tonight, I don't care. I just want to see her and if I have to fight to get that chance then I'm taking it. Raven herself can't stop me from being the friend I should be for her. I'll make sure of that.

The moment I see her dark form huddled in the snow, I bark, not wanting to sneak up on her and perhaps trigger the feral mindset that much faster. I want her to know I'm coming and if she tells me to go away, I'll refuse. If she tries to run, I'll give chase. She may be faster than me in the deep snow but I'll track her until I find her again. I'm determined to spend time with my best friend tonight, come hail or high water.
