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.

if these wings could fly for the rest of our lives
I didn't quiittee think this whole apple thing through. I mean, I didn't really consider how she might go about catching the apples or what she'd do once she did get them...besides, you know, the obviousness of EATING THEM. But, regardless, I hadn't quite really expected...well...anything! I mean, I was alllll the way up here and she was just kinda a big black blob down there beneath all those tree branches and leafy things so really, I didn't quite see how she'd managed to so solve this conundrum. I was too busy focusing on my apple hunt! One...two...threee....one more. I just needed one more! Then we'd have plenty. Hm...there's one! It looked like kind of a challenge but I was totally up for this. I could do it! Okay, so maybe I was a bit to over eager but I was determined! Me and my new friend needed it! We just....needed it! And soon enough, there I was, climbing up and up and up and upppp! The limb was bending as I found myself reachhhhinnngg out for it but...just....a little...further...AHHH! Crash, crash, crash! WE'RE FALLING, WE'RE FALLING! HOLD ON TIGHT MR. APPLE!

Those limbs snapped quickly under my weight of my whole ten pounds as the ground came rushing up to me and then, I found myself landing with quite a thud onto the back of something black. The contact saw the air pushed from my lungs, my precious apple falling from my grasp and onto the ground and yet, for a brief moment, I was pretty sure I was seeing stars or something dancing around my head. Owwwww. What had my tail?! Oh my god, DID I GET STUCK?! I jumped to my feet a few moments later, shaking off my head and body as a way to so clear my vision once again before I blinked at my surroundings. Oh hey! Pony friend! YOU SAVED ME! "Calllieeeelll!" I wish my voice could give her a heart emoticon. She totally deserved one for this. "That was a valiant dash! AND LOOK! I got another one! Did you see, did you see? Wait, where is it?" I started circling on her back as she let go of my tail, looking for my fallen apple. I leaned precariously over the side of her back, spotting that glimpse of red underneath her. "Eep! THERE! I GOT IT!" I nearly threw myself off her back, falling onto the ground and rolling quite like an armadillo before righting myself and scurrying underneath her and after it.

My claws dug into that flesh, so pushing it between her legs as my body followed soon after, once again finding myself in front of her. "Tada!" I announced, lifting it up for her to see. My gaze expectantly turned towards my surroundings. Wait a second...I had one...we should have more than ONE! "Where are the others?!" I turned expectantly to my friend before looking at her with a hint of suspicion, even though I wasn't really all that upset at all. "Calliel! Did you eat them all?!" I inquired, well, she was kind of big. She probably needed way more food than I did, right?
