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.

Not as Easy as it Looks (Raven)

I move further into the woods, wanting to find that clearing again. One day I was running through here in fox form, and I had to pause to drink in all the beauty surrounding me. The sun was shining so brightly in the sky overhead and the gentle breze was stirring the branches of the trees, making leaves fall like confetti all around me. I didn't feel any fear in the clearing, only soothed and calm. I remembered that place and every time I needed to be comforted or just be alone, I would come there.

And today I need the peace and quiet to concentrate. I've decided to try what Frost taught me, to use my shield as a weapon instead of a defense. He told me that I should try to push it out away from me, to use its force to push someone, or in this case, someone, back. And so I've placed a rock on the ground a foot from where I am, just something to practice one. I take a long deep breath, closing my eyes but it's only a distraction. Every time I close my eyes, I see Alexander and his deep blue eyes. I smell his sweet intoxicating breath and feel his warm arms wrap around me. It relaxes me but also keeps me from thinking clearing. By the time I open my eyes, my skin is tingling.

I think of Frost and what he did to Raven right in front of me and that's what brings my shield to me. I feel it wrap around me, as warm as Alexander's arms. Concentrating till I feel sweet glistening on my forehead, I push out my arms, picturing my shield ballooning outwards from me. I struggle and end up falling to my knees. Before I know it, I'm crying in frustration, my arms wrapped around me as I close my eyes tightly and try to think of the things that comfort me once more. "I can't do it." I sob to myself as I curl up tightly and lie in the middle of the clearing. I feel drained and alone.
