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.

He had expected to receive her attention and yet her teeth nipping at him was momentarily surprising, connecting with the flesh of his left shoulder, ears pinning briefly backward in displeasure as nostrils glare to emit a snort of disdain though he offers no retaliation- indeed, his own form steps deftly sideways, legs crossing neatly over each other in something very near akin to a half-pass, allowing her the space she seemed to crave and yet remaining within her vicinity all the same. Mares could be such...techy things, even those of a varying species and yet mares are one creature he understands entirely too well, his own reactions a delicate combination of both instinct and experience and yet he remains close by all the same. He will offer her space- if she is going to get snappy about it and yet it is space dictated by his own terms (stallions are bossy and stubborn by design after all). Her words in regards to his comment on her stripes are met with a momentary chuckle, a deep throated sound that vibrates within the depths of his broad chest, the little Zebra turning hurriedly about with him in an effort to assure he remained within her vision. She was hardly foolish, this one, in fact, she may well be valuable to keep around as a....friend of sorts, if only for her ability to display evident sense. His own form comes smoothly to a halt before her now, violet gaze continuing to watch her beneath that snowy forelock as she seems to very near laugh at the idea of fear. Hmm, it was always so amusing to see someone claim as such until whatever it was they truly feared displayed itself.

Only fools are entirely fearless and you hardly look foolish to me.

It is both compliment and chastisement all at once, each world cleverly knotted over the other, delivered in those same cool, smooth lyrics as he regards her. She was a curious woman indeed, bold to be sure, perhaps a little crass even and yet some part of the equine takes amusement within her all the same. There was...a spirit of sorts to her that he hardly found discouraging, one that would need to be tamed perhaps, angled the right way and yet potentially useful all the same. It would be better, he thinks, to have such a creature in his favour. Any movement by himself to step close to the little Zebra however is met with a sudden snatch of her teeth all the same, his own head shaking though truly it is more from amusement then disdain. It is not unnatural, after all, that she should want to keep him within her vision and away from the tail end that lacked the defence of her teeth. Typical female, truly. Her mention of a....Snickers however sees his gaze narrow slightly in wariness. It is very rare, truly, that there was any word offered to the man that he found himself unfamiliar with. English was not his first language and yet he spoke it eloquently when he chose. Snickers however, is not a word he is familiar with. The uncertainty within his gaze however is fleeting, curiosity seeming to overtake.

What is a Snickers?

He sees no shame in asking, the word tasted a moment before his gaze returns to her, leaving her a chance to answer him before he moves to dismiss the topic, far more interested in the girl herself as opposed to her choice in what he can only presume is some sort of food or otherwise digestible product.

Why, might I ask then, are you out here alone? Cheap hotel rooms outside your budget, hmm.

He is intrigued by her to be sure and yet for now at least he simply moves to establish certain facts, subtly gathering what information he can in these few moments, standing just outside her reach now to prevent himself being further nipped at by the disagreeable creature.
