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 is determined to even translate just a little bit of this text; she wasn't even quite sure what type of text it was. For all she knew it was a book on history or some boring lecture but still she was determined to understand just a fraction. But she somehow didn't think it would work, without even a few words for reference she was playing a losing battle. She was almost welcome for the distraction of those footsteps. It would take her away from her frustration and cause her to focus on something else besides her increasing anxiety.

She is sure that she shouldn't be let out of the house, the way she was unable to detect even this danger to her life even after doing a perimeter check. But it was her inability to know the dangers and what to look for; it was that she didn't have the ability or training. So when the woman approaches quickly, she doesn't have any time really react, "You can't justâ€"" She wants to tell her that it's probably rude to even suggest such a thing. There was no name on the bench to claim it, so how did she have the right to say so. But her words are cut off as the woman reaches for her and tugs her off the bench.

She keeps a hold of the book until the last moment when she is being forced to back up, the book falls from her grip as the earth rumbles in front of her. It crumbles then, pushing down into the earth and all she can say is "Oh!" Her previous indignation is forgotten as it caves in and there is that overwhelming scent of silver and she is stepping forward gingerly to peer into the hole. She knows now that the bench had been covering the scent of the spikes, when she is satisfied that all was well now, she scurried back and picked up the book. She is so focused on it at first, to give her hands something to do before she looks back up at the woman, "Iâ€"did not know that, thank you. I'm Claire," She says, not even putting two and two together.
