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.

you are the most beautiful thing that i know; open
Posted on January 12, 2015 by i s l a
Darkness falls around me like rain, soft and somber. I know that now. I know about rain, and how it feels when it stings the flesh of your cheek. I know that rain can be soft and somber, instead of lethal. Here, no one is afraid of rain. No one thinks of it like we did in Elysia. It isn't acid. It won't burn holes through our cities. Here, no one cries when it rains. Here, rain can be beautiful. I am standing alone while the darkness works to wash me away, thinking of rain while waiting for the stars to show themselves. This is the only place where the lights don't drown out the sky, and so it is the place I will come every night until my heart gives out. There are things that I could be doing, I know. I am alive, even if no one else is. I am alive, and to waste my breath, to waste even a second of this new life, it's a massive injustice. I know. I can't stop knowing, but I also know that I can't make my heart believe that the loss of him is something that I will ever get over. I know that I should not let their sacrifice go unnoticed, but tell it to the blood in my veins that sings his name through the strands of my DNA. I know, but tell it to my skin, because my skin still remembers how warm it felt when he touched me. He is dead, but tell it to my body. He is written all over me. I am stained with the memory of him, and I'm not sure that I will ever come clean. He told me once that we are all stardust, and I hope that he's right. I hope that he's here above me, as the stars flicker through the blackness like beacons guiding me home. If that's true then I will see his smile in the stars and know that I will be okay. If that's true, then maybe I will survive this. "Orin," I say, when the galaxies are lain out before me like an oil painting. I don't hear my voice cracking, but my throat is so raw and tight that it must have. "I don't know what to do without you." Because he was everything. Because he was the question and answer. Because the bombs, and the shattered glass, the guns, and the radiation â€" because the planet exploding in hate and fire and dust and ash â€" it was all nothing compared to the loss of him. isla |
