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 maternal hormones that coursed through her body were proving rather difficult for her to control her natural abilities. It was as if her senses were sharp...but not in the way they used to be. She used to be able to tell her own species from others and when she was around humans, she could tell their blood type with only a whiff. But ever since she fell pregnant, all she could seemingly smell was Troy or O- blood. She couldn't fathom why her child wanted O negative blood...only that it did. Amelia never bothered keeping a donor around that was O negative because she had never wanted that blood type. But now, now she kept a donor on staff who ate mostly fish. The combination was usually repulsive and somehow, she craved it.

So naturally, it wasn't a surprise that she didn't immediately recognize the girl as being vampire. However, when she turned to look at her and flash her fangs, it almost looked as though she was trying to scare her. While she found the girl's answer rather eerie, she said nothing about it.

When the little girl make the connection that she was also vampire, Amelia nodded her head softly. Immediately she clutched her cloak a little tighter over her abdomen, trying to nonchalantly hide the baby bump that was too large to be hidden. She would try to hide it anyway, knowing that her secret could get herself and her baby killed if it fell into the wrong hands.

She watched the child stand and brush off her dress, the light breeze taking the particles of sand and slowly bringing them to settle with the rest. At her question, Amelia shrugged. "I can't say that I've played in a very long time." She couldn't even remember the last time she engaged herself in a childhood game. It would probably have to be when she was nothing but a human child.

However, as Amelia stood here, she realized that she hadn't even bothered to introduce herself to the girl. At least when she was growing up, she was always taught to be weary of strangers. Perhaps she should practice what she preached and at least introduce herself to the girl. "My name is Amelia." She didn't bother with a last name or any other specifics. The less this girl knew about her condition, the better.
