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 places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

Might end up falling but you just might fly

Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true



Nadya was grateful for the reassuring embrace and the ease with which Frost allowed her to forgo the saddling task. It was very rare that he pressed anything from her. She took a few steps back to afford her boyfriend the room he needed to shift. Nothing really prepared her for the reflex reaction she had to having his towering figure so near her now. It was new and confusing, the way her body flinched at the touch of his muzzle to her arm. In a single moment of time the very fabric of how she saw his equine form had shifted.

These feelings caused her stomach to churn and it was only Frost's voice in her mind that pulled her from any chance of dwelling on her sudden knee-jerk reaction. Nadya's shoulders slumped slightly, her gaze casting downward, "I know...I'm sorry." She whispered as she carefully, albeit it not entirely gracefully, climbed atop his back. No sooner had he begun to get up that she realized far too late that she didn't have as solid of a grip on his mane as she thought and down she tumbled. It took a brief moment of the air being knocked from her before she rolled back up onto her feet with a mumble to not call her on it.

With an air of more determination Nadya returned to her position on the equine's back. She was more sure with her fingers entangled within his mane even though her legs felt like they had no grip on his sides. "You're too big...but I'll get used to it." Nadya smirked slightly and nudged him as she found better purchase using her knees to grip better. She'd rather try without a saddle a million times before resorting to using one. The use of the saddle would perhaps be a source of back and forth for the couple.

"You sound like my old ballet instructor. Breathe, stand up straight, relax, be natural, keep your arms up." Nadya rolled her eyes. The old woman had smelled of mothballs and the young Nadya had called it quits after only two months in the class. She glanced around the ring which Frost's calm stride had taken them around before nodding and shifting her fingers slightly within his mane. "Ok, just a little faster." This all seemed to be progressing rather quicker than she had anticipated. As his pace quickened to the trot she began to regret her decision. Her knees grappled and gripped harder at the jostling gait. "...I don't like this one. Stop stop stop." No sooner had the words passed her lips that she lost her balance and slid to one side, once more falling him his form.

This time though she didn't land on her back, a bit more aware on what falling from him felt like, and thus was able to land rolling. Nadya rolled up and paused on her hands and knees, thumping the ground with a fist in frustration before standing once more. There was a slight sheen in her eyes for tears that wished to fall for more reasons than she could put a name to, but there was determination too and once more approached him to get back on. "Again." She reached back up in anticipation to curl her hands within that snowy mane.
