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.

That scream so filled that night sky that surrounded her, sending the nearby birds a flight in a frenzy of frantic panic. It was rare for a ghost to be so powerful enough to pierce the void between life and dead and yet, the fear that radiated from this little girl was. Her eyebrows furrowed as she pivoted on her feet, her gaze quickly searching the tree line with that ice poised and ready above her head. Her stormy eyes landed upon the man upon the tree, those large wings that protruded from his back made her eyes widen ever so slightly, the woman entirely taken back as that curse word fell from her lips. That ice beside her cracked, her need to attack evaporating as the girl's thoughts turned inward, so contemplating exactly what she had done to prompt the existence of this demon to so invade her life. Her gaze shifted towards that ghost, quite indignant that the child she'd put so much effort into assisting had only guided her into a trap. A huff left her lips, her gaze shifted at the movement of the man before her, the girl weary and yet....she was rather certain that he was not going to harm her in any fashion.

Her stormy eyes remained steady upon him despite the sounds of the young child crying that still invaded her ears, the young witch was content to simply watch as his body slowly descended before her, those wings tucking closely to his body as he closed what little distance existed between them. He was taller than her, her head tilted upwards ever so slightly in order to ensure her gaze remained upon his own. He was handsome, she supposed, for a demon, the man certainly seemed particularly fit and yet, he seemed far too pleased with himself. Serafina's lips pressed together as her gaze shifted from the man to the child and back again. It seemed fairly far fetched, the man's insistence that he used ghosts to draw his victims here, ghosts that most couldn't even see....except her. A glimpse of doubt crossed her features his own gaze shifted towards...what was he even looking at? "Uh huh..." She voiced sardonically, her eyebrow rose ever so slightly. Okay, maybe they weren't working together but that still didn't stop the simple fact that he still existed, as did those large wings that protruded from his back.

Her gaze remained upon the man as he so nonchalantly rid himself of...well something. Serafina hardly missed that husky tone to his lips, that simple sound of his voice caused the kitten to tilt her head, considering the creature before her for a moment before she regarded him with the true, a more tired tone to her melodic lyrics, as if he should surely know this. "There's a leak in my roof. I summoned something otherworldly to fix it. I was hoping more for a...roof gnome but, I suppose you will have to do." She paused in consideration, adding with a tone far more thoughtful than before, "At least you'll be able to reach it with your wings." Perhaps the other side had thought this through vastly more than she had, perhaps they had sent her something far better to so repair that hole that had become near maddening for the girl. That water from the recent rains had nearly ruined several of her spellbooks from her own element seeping in, not to mention her house's' inability to keep in the heat. It was the man's comment of how impolite it was that she took his jacket that saw her eyebrows raise, her gaze shifted briefly downwards towards the dark colored jacket that now covered her shoulders. "Mmm....perhaps." She stated, "But I summoned you and that makes you mine, which makes your jacket mine too." Serafina was rather certain this was how those roles of servant and master worked, the girl turned away from him, as if to indicate that there would be no further arguing with her on the topic.

"Come along, demon, we still have to make sure she gets home safely." The young witch continued, entirely determined to finish that job she had started. "Don't worry sweetheart, he's mine now, you said we were almost there, right?" Serafina spoke towards the child, her voice far gentler than that firmness her soprano tone had utilized when speaking towards him. The girl paused, glancing between them before she took a tentative step back, her head bobbed as she turned to lead them further into the forest. Serafina led the way after her, silent for several moments before speaking in a tone that bordered upon whispered, "You can't really see her, can you?"
