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.

It was a shame that I wasn't able to bring out some of the horses tonight. Usually during the full moon I would take a few of them out for fun, to run and play. I know they are just horses, but my equine self felt much better when I was amongst my own species. I am a social creature and I do much better when I am with others. I know that there are other Weres within the city, but I didn't know anyone. I used to go to the West side and sit at the Ark and simply watch and learn, and understand the different Were species. I would never participate in the fighting ring, I don't really understand my own ability, that and I am far too afraid. I wouldn't admit it. I don't participate in the gambling simply because I don't want to lose any money. I was contemplating about working there, maybe getting some Were friends, but that would never happen, they wouldn't accept me. Ever since I learned what Frost had done to one of the members of his pack, and he wanted to take the Alpha's sister to join his own, I felt it was best to simply stay away from the West. Frost created me, and if they knew, they might want to take revenge even though I haven't seen him or spoken to him in many months. It was best, I think, and because of this decision I work at a coffee shop, I don't go to my Great Uncle who will say 'I Told you So,' I train on how to be a proper Were Horse for a Were Hunter, and I rely on camaraderie with horses.

Tonight there was no training for me. Alexander and Anastasia had something else going on tonight and they would both be unavailable. It was a shame, in a way, she was looking forward to their training sessions. It felt nice in a way to have some structure and guidance, even if was coming from two creatures that were supposed to eradicate my kind from the Earth. So, without the horses, without my creator, and without the Dark Hunters, I was left alone to do as I pleased during the full moon. The park in the South was a great place to stretch my legs, and have some fresh air. I managed to find myself a nice spot within the park, somewhere far from the path and away from any onlookers. I didn't need some sort of human to think that I had ran away from the stable. Seeing that I was safe I didn't mind allowing my guard to be down as I chewed on the green grass, taking in my fill. When Winter came all of this will be underneath snow and I'll have to work a bit harder for my food. Yet for now I'll be content, that is, until I hear someone say 'Hi Pony.' My eyes would widen in shock as I felt that voice press into my mind, I haven't spoken to another Were in this way since Frost, and hearing a new voice inside my head was a bit unnerving. Quickly I lift my dial upwards as my ebony ears twitch and turn as I speak up, unsure if I was reaching the mind of the unseen Were.

"Who was that? Show yourself!"

I do not see anything within my eye sight. Oh I hate being an animal that is prey, my eyes are on either side of my head, and my view isn't that great. With a rough sort of irritation my ears lace backwards tightly against by skull. My silvery-white thread lashes out behind me as I take a step forward, my nostrils flare as I catch an unfamiliar scent. Looking down I notice a very odd looking...creature. Both ears point forward with interest as I take slow steps towards it, my dial lowered to its level as I stop before it. Gently I brush my large nose over the red creature that made me think of a raccoon, although much cuter, and I bump it gently on its side. I am going to take a guess this was the Were that spoke to me. She seemed harmless. I mean if I needed to protect myself I could stomp her with my hooves, dinner-sized plate hooves! I try to focus more on trying to talk to this Were, thinking I'm conversing correctly, my tone holding a friendly note.

"Oh, hello there...I've never seen you before."
