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.

Henry's eyes were brought to Sterling's as he spoke of the city. He seemed to like it here, despite the cruelty he spoke of. It was a confusing line of thought for him and he wasn't quite sure to what to say or do. Why did he speak so poorly of the city and yet, in the same breath, say it wasn't so bad if he knew what to expect. What exactly did this city harbor? It must be something mind-boggling if Sterling wasn't already coming out with it. "What exactly do you mean?" If this city was so dangerous...maybe he shouldn't be running around with no knowledge of this place. He would probably find that he was getting himself into more trouble by not knowing. Perhaps blowing his mind was a little more important that putting him in harms way. Truthfully, if Henry knew exactly what was brewing in the city, he might think that Sterling was an absolute loon. Vampires, fairies, and witches? It seemed like something right out of a children's book. Things like that were only an imaginative species...they couldn't possibly be real...could they?

However, even if Sterling wasn't willing to share his impressions of the city, there was a slightly more pressing matter he had to deal with: figure out what to do next. Sure...he had a nice meal in his belly and the promise of a place to crash for the night...but that was not long-term. Henry needed to form some kind of plan pretty soon. He needed to get a job and find someplace that wouldn't require first months rent...which was highly unlikely. Maybe he could get a quick buck by selling himself on the street. He was an attractive fellow and knew he could easily make a few hundred dollars a night to make other people happy. But then there was that nagging feeling in the back of his mind that told him that wasn't a good idea. Sterling didn't seem to think he should be wandering around at night.

However, while his mind was busy trying to figure out his future, Sterling seemed pretty dead set on making sure he stayed with him. Why he was so interested in allowing Henry to stay here was hard to imagine. Henry just couldn't put his finger on it. He wasn't sure Sterling understood the notion of him not being in debt to anyone. His $2 and some clean dishes might cover the cost of dinner...but they were no where near enough to cover a night here. "I refuse to be in debt..." His mind was spinning and he was starting to have a hard time breathing. He wasn't sure what the problem was, but he was feeling like he was suffocating. He needed some time to think. He needed some fresh air. Today was overwhelming and over stimulating. Henry was trying hard to remain focused and sane...but it was proving more and more difficult.

His chest was closing in on itself and Henry was beginning to have a panic attack. He felt so out of control and it was proving hard for him to focus and concentrate. After nearly falling off the barstool, Henry managed to ease himself off the chair and standing to look at Sterling. "Can we start with a shower? I need a shower." Really Henry just needed some time to think and the steam from the shower would be good for his lungs. Maybe it would help calm him down just a little bit.
