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.

It is not until the young woman moves upon the park bench that he is truly given to notice her. The cold and damp of the morning having weakened her scent and allowed it to mingle with every other human scent that littered the park like stray candy wrappers after a picnic. The manner in which the girl flips open her bag however sees the war horse dance sideways a step and some anticipation of attack, pivoting upon heavy hooves to face the girl- though still a distance away, with a snort of confusion at her sudden appearance before those neat ears folded back against his skull in some measure of displeasure at having been interrupted by what is little more than a teenager in a leather jacket. Some sort of runaway perhaps- and yet truly her apparent plight does little to endear her towards him, the often apathetic horse turning upon the spot once more, content to merely continue on his way before some other foolish human from the riding school made some effort to add him to their collection of ponies and tired old riding horses. Stable's never did truly appeal to him, the confined spacing an issue he hardly desired to deal with as those heavy hooves move to carry him away from the human girl once more, content to leave her to freeze or wander or whatever it was she was doing. She was, after all, not his concern.

It is the sudden waving of her arms, one hand extended forward that sees him pause a second time, ears pricked forward in some measure of curiosity once more, violet eyes narrowed beneath that ever thick forelock of hair as she evidently holds something towards him. For a moment at least the war horse remains where he is, truly attempting to decide whether or not he could be bothered to walk all the way over towards her merely to see whatever it was she was holding, a sigh heaved from within that broad, white gold chest before he moved to wander forward now and towards the little blonde creature, eyes narrowing readily upon the....apple she held towards him. How very...derogatory. It is merely fortunate perhaps, that he is not wholly object to such offerings, having come to expect Alexander to leave sugar upon the windowsill every other night else content to bash at the door until he did, apples are perhaps his other more favoured snack despite the evident cliché of such a thing. It is rare indeed for the man to willingly indulge in his more animalistic side, so much of himself perhaps given to find discord with his animal form, a creature so many presume so little of and yet, perhaps to be underestimated is not an entirely useless thing. Each measured stride carries him closer and closer to the girl now, the blue-eyed human perhaps not all that much younger then himself although truly he finds little amusement in such an observation, it was young women, mostly, that seemed to find him so very enchanting- the man having become used to their attentions in this regard and yet he has no desire to play the part of some trained stallion from the movies- pausing before her now, towering above her.

He had refused to take the apple from Alexanders hand, having learned long ago that this was generally a method by which someone would make some attempt to grab at him, muzzle extended forward only enough to suddenly bump the girls hand and send the apple tumbling from it, reaching down to snatch it from the grass at her feet- that sweet fruit crunched between sizeable teeth as that long mane tumbles about in every direction. What the girl was doing within the middle of the park so early in the morning remained to be seen, her scent mingled with leather and some sort of soap, a scent he readily commits to his memory for later. The apple was readily finished, head lifted once more to reach abruptly for her bag, large nose and face dipped within the knapsack now in search of further apples, after all, the girl was weak, human, incapable of stopping him even if she should desire to do so as the stallion simply proceeded to rifle through her belongings in search of further treats.

The approaching footsteps of another see one ear simply flick in response before the horse chooses to ignore whomever or whatever it is, far more entertained by his thievery to pay attention to the human man whom has approached, jeans, boots and heavy jacket perhaps giving him away as an employee of the riding school, the halter and lead within his hand tucked readily behind his back to keep it from sight of the animal- a stallion- and one far to fine to belong to the school, the mans intentions perhaps more nefarious then they would appear. Hey there honey, I reckon you've found our missing horse, gets out all the time this one does, likes to take himself for walks. Be a good girl now and just grab a hold of 'im for me and I'll get the rope on 'im and get 'im outta that bag of yours.
