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.

It will not be hard to find him. He is not hiding here between the rows and rows of ancient trees that bathe in the fog sweeping down off the mountains. He is not hiding here, because this is world. This is home to the creatures like him, to the deviants and the wild things, and he is both. He is wild, like the forest the grows around him, full of danger and poison and death â€" and he is a deviant, because he holds a curl of blonde hair tightly in his blood stained hands, because his eyes are as dark and as empty as the rest of him.

He will not hide here, because this is his kingdom.
Because this is where the darkness reigns.

She will find him when she rounds a corner, and he will be leaning against the rough bark of an ancient tree with the shadows cloaking half of his face, looking as though he has been waiting for her all this time â€" and maybe he has, maybe she is his next conquest, maybe she is the next lock of hair to be wound tight and curled inside his fist, maybe she is the next cologne that he will mingle with the chemistry of his flesh; le parfum de death.

He will not say a word, he has always been more taciturn than conversationalist, after all. He will only look.

He will look, and he will see the shadows billow along the edges of her and know that she is as atypical as he is, and perhaps it is the only thing that will save her from the instinct burning in his gut that screams out its need to devour her. It rattles his bones nonetheless. It makes his skin hot, and raises the flesh and hair so that it prickles along his spine. It fills him with adrenaline, until it feels like his legs are tightly wound springs that are ready to give.

He can feel the roots tangling in his ribs.
He can feel the insatiable thirst of his blood lust.

But he will not move.
He will not devour her.

Yet.


And so, he made the Gods themselves bend at the knee.
