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.
Home of: The Cavalry

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.

Don't Believe Thy Majesty, They'll Eat You Alive

What was this? A hunter? This day had just taken quite the turn for the best. Braxton eyed this hunter up and down and would smirk. Clearly this well trimmed and toned man was claimed for. No one would let such a fine specimen just wonder about without putting claim to it. At least that how it was in his day and age: You saw a pretty little thing you liked and you would flirt and spend all your time with them. Get to know their family, etc. Same sex relationships were taboo back in the Colonial Times, and were chastised by everyone. At least the only perk Braxton thought this day and age had, was that the people had more open minds. But this hunter that was brooding over him... What was he after? Why did he have such an alluring scent to him? Braxton found himself intrigued.

Just as the dark man would star to return the cigarette to his lips, he would feel the sharp swing and impact of the hunters hand on the back of his head. His cigarette would go flying onto the asphalt trail. Braxton felt that painful burn, and a look of satisfaction would draw itself on his dark and smooth face. Lifting his head up, he showed the hunter his smug and very much aroused look. Braxton did have a certain like for pain when they were in the form of slaps. Punches, slashes and stabs were just a whole different category and were just too twisted for his tastes. But there was something about a slap that just fueled one with a great amount of adrenaline and if you liked it, pleasure.

Braxton stood up and would reach into his pocket and pull out another smoke and light it swiftly. Exhaling the smoke, he still had that same expression of smug and pleasure, like he never even lost it while performing that whole action of lighting his smoke. He did wonder if this hunter knew what he was getting into when he interacted with Braxton. Was he prepared for what he was about to deal with? Did he perhaps know how to deal with his kind expertly? Or was he hoping for an easy kill? Only time would tell, and Braxton was willing to play. "Sweetness, listen.. I'm not one to simply listen to something someone suggests, or even demands... You could of bloody asked nicely and I still would of said no." He retorted to him with his silky smooth voices, and notes hitting just right. It was like Braxton's accent and nationality allowed from him to be an expert in the field of vocalizing words. After all, being alive for this long had its perks.

But he couldn't help but wonder, was this a wise response? No. Was it what this dark hunter wanted from him? Most certainly not. Braxton could feel that he was hoping for an argument. But this wasn't his first rodeo. The rowdy colonists of old used to try this with him when he would patrol the settlements he was ordered to. What made this any different? "However, I don't recall there being a law that said I couldn't say what I wanted to.." Now for the twist in this little conversation, as Braxton took a drag off his smoke with heaviness, and would expel a huge cloud of smoke that looked much like a small bomb had gone off. "How about you think a little more clearly and less about someone waiting at home? Can you manage that? Because I was hoping you'd stay and play." The mental mimicry came into full effect, as he matched the exact tone of the hunters voice, and gestures to the letter. He could tell this baffled the hunter, or maybe he had a good poker face.

Either way, Braxton couldn't help but let out a loud laugh of enjoyment. This hunter was just so ripe for the picking. He hoped that maybe he would keep him here for much longer than he wanted to actually be here. And to accomplish this, he would have to use his ability to the fullest, and start trying to get reads when he could. But this was a dangerous game he was playing, but he wasn't afraid to get burned: After all, the best kind of fun to be had was the kind that left you a little bruised and bleeding.
