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.

LIKE STARLIGHT INTO DAY
A COLD WIND ON YOUR SHOULDER

The light is dim, but she is used to that. Her entire life had been dimness or too bright lights. The grass beneath her paws is foreign if welcomed all the same. The light, if a tad chill breeze is different, it brought different scents. It was not that of sterility or things that burned her nose. But this, this tasted like freedom and life and beauty.

A soft huff leaves her lips as she shoves her nose into the grass. It tickled her senses and she inhales so the blades reach towards her. Along the current of the recent breeze, she picks up a familiar scent. Not familiar in the way that her littermates were, or in the way Nadya is. But familiar in the way that she can tell that the scent is like her. It was not like her handler, it was not like the woman who raised her. It was different, pleasant and enticing. She wanted to explore this, to see why it seemed so familiar.

She pulls her head up, lifting her nose into the air and inhaling. Curious, she takes a few steps as if trying to pinpoint the location of the scent. Ears twitching, she listens before the sigh draws her attention. That was it. She takes a few steps forward before slinking over. Without warning she lifts her smaller, gangly form onto the bench next to the man. Why did he smell like her? She does not yet know of differences in her, in the way she could be.

A small huff leaves her body, "Hei"* her telepathy booms out, uncontrolled. "kuka sinä olet?"** again, that telepathy is loud and unknowing. Would he understand her? Nadya hadn't, she wasn't sure why that was the case. Everyone should understand her, the Witches all spoke the same at the facility.

* Hello
**who are you?
