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.
Home of: The Cavalry

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.

If there was an unspoken weakness the she-wolf had, it was thunderstorms. Watching the lightning stream across the sky was oddly comforting to the girl. The sound of a thunderous roar that followed the lightning only brought chills of joy down her spine. Rain, all kinds of rain, from the thickest biggest droplets to the barely felt mist any of it brought her complete joy when she stood underneath it. Nature's water pouring from the heavy thick clouds always seemed to ease and relax her tense form. It was almost as if the rain simply washed away any self-doubt or fear she held in the back of her mind, the cold liquid becoming like a message therapist is it trailed down her shoulders and spine. She could never get enough of thunderstorms and if she had the ability, she'd make it rain every day, even if the world would flood. She was hardly a selfish creature, but when it came to thunderstorms, it simply changed her. There was absolutely no way she would spend a thunderstorm even indoors. To not be a part of the action was depressing. As soon as she heard the faint distant sound of thunder she slipped out of the warehouse quietly, allowing the big cat to have the place to himself. Her spotted friend was not a big fan of water and so, she slipped out of the warehouse not even giving him a proper goodbye. He would see her tomorrow. He didn't like her scent and since she would be smelling like a wet-dog all night, she decided to save his nose and simply go home after a good time was spent outside in the rain. Alexis would enjoy her company and she couldn't wait to come home to her scarlet friend.

At this point in time the obsidian creature was running quickly through the outskirts enjoying the feeling of her grey paws slamming into the mud, causing her form to slide. Soggy fluffy tail swayed back and forth in sheer delight as she picked up her speed. Dial lifted as her powerful jaws snapped on the falling rain, almost as if it were snow, entirely content and having no shame in acting like a young puppy. For her, she was always one to enjoy the little things in life. Being unable to appreciate anything at such a young tender growing age forced the girl to appreciate any small measly thing. The gift of a sack and the toy leopard from Tobi meant so much more than he could ever know. Alexis, wanting to spend time with her and stick to her, even after she attacked her in her feral state, only made that friendship stronger. Lucian had offered her a job, and he did not know it yet, but giving her that mundane task helped take her mind off of everything. She didn't have to think about her past. All she had to do was complete one task after the other, doing whatever was needed in order to keep her mind from straying to the darkest corners. Dodging through the trees the she-wolf caught the faint scent of blood in the stormy air and she instantly pulled her sleek form in that direction eager to see just what was bleeding and if she could make a tasty meal out of it. Coming around the bend, grey ears were pointed forward in interest as she scent of blood was overwhelming to the girl. Licking her jaws in anticipation to see some fallen prey, her entire body went still when the lightning illuminated the crippling form of the sobbing girl. A very soft whimper came out of the beast as she ducked her head low, eyes focused on what appeared to be the girl she had met in the park. Carefully she approached the other, noticing the blood come from her eyes as panic began to set it, this was not normal at least, not for a human. Gently that kind voice would slip into the woman's as she stood only a few feet away, body low to the ground.

"Isolt...Isolt...what...what happened to you?!"
