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.

Ashes to Ashes

The simple joy of having someone agree to play with her put the little vampire in an amicable mood. However, in regards to Anna, agreeing to play with her was much akin to feeding the wildlife...you didn't. Not unless you wanted them to become far too interested in you and begin following you around. It was beneficial to him though in a way because at least it shuffled him out of the strict prey only category which would have ended up in his death. Having the child's attention was far better than being in a body bag.

Anna's head tilted curiously as he spoke of parents she did not have. Difficulties between children and their parents were all but lost on her. Again she shook her head and stated matter-of-factly. "I don't have parents, they died a long long time ago." She had been a child at the time of being turned so of course she had to have parents at some point but logically she knew they were no longer alive. "Sebastian gives me what I want. He's mine and I'm his." Again, there was no thought given to how creepy that may sound. Anna shrugged and began to swing in earnest, leaning back and kicking out her legs appropriately to bring herself higher and higher.

The petite French child waited until she reached that tippy top point where the chains went slack to signal the height at which she deemed worthy of jumping. It was far higher than any mortal child her age would have been able to do. "JUMP JUMP!" Anna shouted during the travel upwards before she simply leapt from the highest point sending herself soaring through the sky.

Anna landed several yards away, hitting the sand in a crouched position with a brief pause before a peal of laughter escaped her. She stood quickly in order to see the stranger's dismount. Once he had landed, with the exhilaration of the leap, she decided this one was a keeper. "...My name's Anna-Marie." Best to fully introduce herself now.
