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.

There was a time when I probably would have said this isn't a good idea and turned her down but why not try new things? I'm going to have to learn how to handle myself in society someday. It helps me blend in and I want to be more normal. Nothing is holding me back anymore. My father isn't around to make me feel worthless and I don't have to be scared anymore. I glance at the black dress, unsure but I'm not backing down now. She seems amused when I mention just going as I am if she's going to put me in barely anything but I'm just teasing. "Just a little, hm?" I ask with a smirk as I slip on the dress. I let her lead me over to the mirror, admiring myself. It's almost hard to believe I'm actually wearing something like this and I can't help but wonder what Alexander would think if he saw me now. My cheeks flush at the thought of him. "Thanks." I murmur softly when she tells me I look sexy. That's what you're supposed to say, right?

I laugh when she mentions men and women liking curves. I let her guide me over to a chair next, squirming a little as I wonder what this whole make up thing is all about. I shake my head at her question. "I watched members of my pack put it on before, pretty girls and such. My father didn't want me parading around like a clown, as he put it. Make up was forbidden to me. Then when I got out of the pack, I didn't have anyone to show me." Raven wasn't really the make up type and though I'd caught Isolt wearing make up a few times, I never had the nerve to ask her about it because I didn't trust her. I close my eyes, smiling as she brushes my hair. It feels nice to have someone playing with my hair. I listen as she tries to explain make up to me, how you want it noticed but not too much. I raise my brows at the mention of glitter. "So I'll sparkle?" I can't help but be a little excited at the thought of it.

She assures me that the dress will stretch a little and I nod, hoping she's right. "I just hope I don't rip anything." I murmur as I look down at the pretty dress. I jump a little when she hurts herself, the smell of faintly burnt flesh quick to my sense as I turn to her with concern. "Are you okay?" She starts asking about me and I straighten my back, still odd about my past but I'm pushing past it. "I've lived in America most of my life though I remember some time in Ireland when I was a pup. It's mostly a blur though. My father was quite proud of our heritage there." I roll my eyes at the thought of him. At mention of my home, I scowl in thought. "Do you mean my home here? Cause I don't really...I just kinda sleep in the woods for now. Or do you mean where I come from? My home pack was based somewhere south of here. I'm not really sure of states or anything but it was heavily wooded. Civilization was miles away in all directions. We had a pretty good sized village with hand built huts. We had a fire going all the time that the pack liked to change on full moons and dance and yip around. We hunted for food and when hunting was scarce, we stole for food. Well, I did most of the stealing since I can run without making noise."

I take a moment to gently reach for her hand. I concentrate for a minute, healing her burn before I go back to relaxing and letting her do my hair.
