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.

Hold on to this lullaby; even when the music's gone

She's tugging at the hem of her t-shirt, debating on whether or not she wanted to go for a run. It is still early in the morning when she descends into the kitchen and after foraging for some food she's shrugging on a jacket and after checking the living room she found the book she'd been looking for. This she tucks inside her jacket, hugging it close to her chest as she exits the back door.

She'd been attempting for days to figure out how to read the book she was holding, this is what has her jumping out into the chill weather with an apple in her pocket and her feet taking her towards the park. She found it a place of solace now, where before it had been a place of fear, it was one place where she could come and be alone if she needed to be. She first searches the perimeter of her destination, something she was learning that she really must be more aware of her surroundings. As if the other night had been any indication of such.

Satisfied that she there were no were's in her general vicinity she settled down on a bench and pulled out the book. It was one of Frost's, written in Icelandic, determined to finally be able to understand even a little bit of it. It wasn't going very well and this only caused her frustration to grow but she found that she enjoyed the challenge. It also gave her something to do when she wasn't exploring or baking or at the café. She really liked that place, it was warm and inviting and so far she hadn't experienced any fear. Wasn't that what it was supposed to be? No fear, a safety net and security that all was well?

Footsteps sounded behind her but she paid it no mind yet, instead running her finger like a dutiful student over the lines of text, sounding them out as she went. She thought the person would go away, instead, they came towards her and in reaction she looked up, tilting her face up slightly to catch the wind. It was a slightly familiar scent but one she couldn't place, instead she turned to look over her shoulder, "Can I help you?" She asks, closing the book and marking her page. Surprisingly she was calm, usually she'd be jumping out of her skin by now. But maybe it was because of the close proximity to home or the fact that she could feel the pack bond humming in the back of her mind.
