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.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

How could she deny a chase? She was a predator, was she not? Raven did enjoy running around and chasing something. After all she was used to playing such games with her spotted mate. Besides, Tetradore taunted her with his tongue and so she needed to reply his taunting by absolutely falling for it. Whoops. She knows she shouldn't dive into the long grass, and yet she does, eager to find the jungle cat. Even though they were playing, and this was a carefree moment, she couldn't help, but feel a bit...tense. She was being watched and that feeling was so very unnerving. It was natural for Raven to not want to be noticed or looked upon. In the beginning of being in Tetradore's pack she stayed away from him, concerned that one small wrong move might cause her to deserve some horrific punishment. It took some time, and self-reassurance, but eventually she didn't feel like she had to constantly look over her shoulder when she was in his presence. Sadly though this was not that time.


As she stayed where she was, in one particular patch of long grass, she continued to use her telekinesis to try and imitate her movement. It was a simple trick, but she hoped it would work on him. Staying quiet, and still, her blue-grey eyes narrowed and scanned the tall grass, attempting to find the familiar figure of her Alpha. Grey-trimmed ears twitched forward, thinking that maybe the feline would step on a twig or something that would pinpoint his location. An odd shadow appeared on the ground below, puzzled, she looked upwards to see what would be causing it, and her eyes widened in shock at seeing the panther floating above her, if only for a second. With a sharp whine she felt her body fall into the ground, as the jungle cat fell on top of her, releasing a muffled oomph in his mind. Dazed, she struggled to get up as he pounced off her and into the long grass, growling softly as a soft huff escaped.


Managing to lift herself and settle back on her paws she chased after him, this time using her bond that tethered strongly to him. Although she was a diligent rule follower, and didn't believe in cheating, she was cursed with the drive to really win. It was placed within her by her mate, after years of playing against him, he was a cheat and she always tried to be two steps ahead of him. As he fled from her, she would increase her speed, ganging up on him when suddenly he would find himself floating in air. Happily she used her telekinesis to forced the panther up in the air, standing not underneath him, but near him. As he was stuck within her invisible clutches, she giggled as she slowly moved him up and down, like a yo-yo.


"Since you like being in the air, I thought I should make it easier for you. I'll let you down on one condition...you admit that I won."


Innocently the lupine looked upwards, her tail swaying side to side eagerly, seeming pleased with herself. Oh how wonderful it was to spend some time with her Alpha in such a playful manner.
