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.

See what it's like to be a vulture's lunch



There was, Arlo supposed, a fairly logical downside to fame. One Sebastian seemed to be struggling with in that very moment. His companion admitting just how damn hungry he was if only because every person he approached knew who he was- making that feeding almost impossible. After all, how long would it take for a victim to go running to the newspapers or tv stations? Maybe some famous people got away with a few indiscretions here and there but the future Prince of a country? Even Arlo was sure that probably didn't go down totally well. It was, he supposed, his own lack of interest in feeding from Killian that saw the younger vampire veritably offer up that meal to his companion- at least in exchange for Sebastian helping him find another vampire afterwards or letting him have a few mouthfuls of his blood in the very least. What was a little blood between friends? Good blood too. Excellent blood actually. Sebastian by far in possession of the best blood. Arlo readily seeming to realise he'd been staring at the other vampire for several minutes now, his head quickly shaking in some effort to control that hunger once more as Sebastian commented on the likelihood of Killian passing out if they took that much blood. Arlo's shoulders shrugging lightly.

"I promised the guy I'd get him out of the park. I didn't promise he'd be conscious. As long as he's not dead I think I held up my end of the bargain."

Maybe Killian would just think he had a really....bad dream? Especially if they healed those bite wounds well enough. Vampires, it seemed, entirely capable of working with one another when there was no competition for that meal. That lie about the Hunters fell easily from his lips then. Arlo gesturing further into the park and those darker areas he fully intended to lead the little group towards. The faint fluttering of Killian's heart giving away the mans nervousness and yet whether it was because of the vampires or the Hunters he hardly knew. Maybe it was better to get this over with quickly. Arlo perhaps inclined to admit he felt maybe a little bit guilty. Maybe. He easily led the way back onto that path then and deeper into the park. Those trees and shrubs casting this area into a far darker shadow then the rest, those street lamps from outside blocked by the trees and at least affording them some measure of privacy. Enough not to be blatantly seen from the road- just in case real Hunters were about.

Arlo listened only vaguely to that conversation occuring behind him, his features frowning slightly as they discussed....europeans? Alright then. Odd choice. Then again he hadn't really seen Seb work for a meal in quite this fashion before. The younger vampire turned back to briefly eye his companions before he led them from that path and onto the grass and out of view of most of that park in turn. The grass muffling even their footsteps as Arlo paused to fish his phone from his pocket. His blue gaze shifting once more to Killian whom seemed, by this point, entirely focused on Sebastian and largely unconcerned with where they were. This was secluded enough right? Killian wasn't capable of running now was he? Arlo pretending to glance at his phone curiously then- as if the device had rung.

"I'm just gunna take this, I'll be back in one sec, you guys just wait there."

That phone was lifted easily to his ear. Arlo content to pretend someone was on the other end as he wandered away from the pair and toward that single closest lamp at the top of a small rise. Arlo leaning effortlessly back against it then as he continued to carry out a fake conversation. His newfound position afforded him not only a view of Seb and Killian down in the shadows- but of the park itself in near every other direction. Arlo more then capable of warning Sebastian should anyone else come along. After all, Killians blood held no appeal to him. He might as well play lookout Though words he uttered then so seemingly to that person on the other end of his phone and yet meant for Sebastian entirely.

"Yeah, yeah, you're good to go...."
