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.

"WHAT IS IT LIKE?" HE WHISPERED
"IT'S LIKE DROWNING. EXCEPT YOU CAN SEE EVERYONE AROUND YOU BREATHING." I REPLIED
The tigress is unsure if she wants this thing called 'celebration' to morph into a hunting trip. The taste of blood and the sound of screams are still too vivid every time her eyes close. A shudder wracks her ebony frame while conversation swirls unbound inside her mind, their voices swirling together and breaking apart and yet not a single word is heard. Visions of blood gurgling from open wounds, arterial spray, the sound of a death rattle and whispered prayers for young and old that fell on deaf ears. It's all too much. Simply too much.

"No." For a moment that single word is the only coherent thought she can make or project. Just no. She can't do it. Not yet. She can't or wont tell them why, she just can't. Not now. Regan turns away once again and focuses her attention into the darkness surrounding them and for the first time since merging with her 'family' she has the urge to melt into the shadows. To slink back to The Ark, find her vent and curl up within her nest of blankets and shut out the world.

A long moment later she allows her attention to focus back on her pack though she has no idea how long it was or what they had discussed while her thoughts were elsewhere. "Can we have...quiet family time?" She looks at Tetradore and Raven since she can tell Tobi is still slightly distracted. "With food that doesn't taste of blood?" It is the closest Regan had ever come to asking or admitting how much certain things in her past got to her. She wouldn't mind curling up in a secluded area of The Ark with her pack, bloodless food and the simple pleasure of their company that was a silent reminder that she was here and not there. She needed that now. More than they knew or she would admit too.

The tigress wouldn't mind being surrounded by her pack and allow her presence to permeate a little deeper. For their calming influence to linger longer. For the distraction their presence provided for her. Hell, she might even cuddle some of them for the brief moments her battered soul allowed it.
