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.

He hadn't had a glimpse of anyone from the heirarchy since Sam's disappearance and it did manage to bother him somewhat. While losing Sam was one thing, losing something he had pledged his loyalty to was a whole different situation. He didn't hand out such loyalty lightly and he needed to get some kind of update on the situation, not matter what it may be. He didn't plan on just forgetting about the Court and surely Dorian would still be around. He knew he'd seen glimpses of him at times but always from a distance and he didn't want to bother him. Eventually they would have to run into each other right? He wondered idly what the other fae had been up to. He would probably know more about Sam's disappearance but Troy just felt that if she wanted him to know, she would have at least sent him a letter or something. Didn't he deserve something?

But he didn't want to dwell on it any longer. He had bigger things to think about. He didn't want to come to a bar to get drunk and forget about his responsibilities, just to clear his head and think. He almost wanted to get up on the bar and announce it to the world. It was something he was actually kinda excited about, which was strange in itself. Who would have thought he'd look forward to being a dad? The last place he expected to run into Dorian was the bar though. He didn't even think Dorian would want to touch the door handles on a bar, let alone go into one so to see the stool beside his get filled and turn to see none other than the fae king himself, his brows raised, genuinely shocked. It seemed he wasn't the only one surprised. Dorian said his name in a question and he smirked with a nod.

"None other."

Of course seeing Dorian would have to bring up the news of Sam and he scowled thoughtfully when her name was mentioned. He shook his head.

"Afraid I wasn't on the need to know list, apparently. I figured as much, though. Call it a hunch."

He glanced down at his glass for a moment. It would be hard to forget the connection he'd felt with Sam, but it was quickly dulling in comparison to how he felt about Amelia. She was truly different than anyone he'd ever met before and now they were going to raise a kid together. What a world it turned up to be. Even through Dorian's easy smile, Troy could still see a hint of sadness but he smiled back all the same. No need to bring it up. They were both going to miss her. Then Dorian was asking what he'd been up to and he almost started laughing. Of course Dorian might think he'd gone mad if he did that so he held his tongue and nodded instead.

"Yes, it has been a while. You could say I've been busy. I'm gonna be a dad, Dorian."

There, he'd said it again. He waited patiently to see Dorian's reaction.
