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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.

i live by you, desire â-³ tag: d.o.m.inique | She twists her fingers into the dark leather of her jacket, the nights were becoming cooler and it was just about time that she start finding heavier clothing and a sturdier work environment. She'd been downtown at one of the local stores picking up more ink for her machine, she had a client in two days who wanted a full sleeve done and she was just about done with the sketches but wanted to do some more fine tuning on it. She'd headed into the forest, back to her camp and stashed the ink comfortable in the knowledge that she wouldn't be doing anymore work tonight. She is exiting the comfort of the woods when the phone in her pocket rings, she almost lets it go. Almost. She remembers the last time she'd answered it, three days before and figures it would be best not to let it continue shrilling. She also knew that she would probably get angry enough that she would have to move quickly in order to avoid detection. Though her raised voice would probably give her away anyway. C'est la vie. She reaches in her pocket and glances at the screen even though she knows who it is. He's the only one who has her current number and he abused it like no ones business. "Ciao?" It is sharp, quick and to the point, a 'what do you want now' greeting. She sighs heavily as the voice on the other line barks out commands in harsh Italian. "Gae," Short, to the point, "Gaetano Vincenzo, I have told you on multiple occasions that I am not coming home right now. Should you try and find me, I will continue moving, Capisci?" Her words are angry, irritated and she could feel the blood pumping through her system. She glances around, scanning her surroundings briefly before turning to face the woods for at least semblance of privacy even though she knew no one was behind her. Gaetano's voice is sharp again, angry even more agitated than hers. He didn't like anything that was out of his control. And his darling baby sister was completely out of his control. He hated it and she relished it. His voice rose and her response was sharp, "I can't do this now, Gae." Angry words again, about abandoning the Family and her responsibilities towards finding the ones who hurt her so badly. Instead, she threw the phone against the nearest tree and watched it shatter, she sometimes forgot her own strength. The change was almost simultaneous as she was staring at the mangled plastic, regretting that decision, he may just want to come and find her when she didn't answer the next time. She couldn't have that. Within one step and the next, her heartbeat rose as adrenaline from her anger kicked in and a toss of her head turned into a toss of a mane instead of trying to flip her hair out of her face. She snorts in annoyance, two legs turning to four and a tail sprouting. There was minimal pain now, she'd been going through the change since she was sixteen an unwilling participant in Marco's scheme to keep her around. Black and white pelt swirled about her as she trotted down the forest line, keeping to the shadows but know that she is easily within sight if someone looked hard enough. |
