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.

yay for amazing stuff, like hunting butterflies

Abigail's grin was infectious. She seemed very into the idea of hunting down Malia's friends and pouncing on them. The idea seemed downright hilarious to her as she pictured all her friends' faces. At her cheering voice, Malia yipped again in laughter. When Malia asked about flowers, Abigail grew thoughtful as if trying to remember where there would be a lot of flowers. Malia tilted her head, tail flicking behind her as she waited as patiently as she could. Malia's own gaze moved to follow the butterfly Abigail was watching, seemingly wanting to just follow it and see where it went. Malia was game for that. Who knows what they would find? Malia thought it only polite to ask Abigail if she wanted to ride on her after the butterfly. She had seen Abigail's tiny little legs. Surely she couldn't keep up if she didn't have the trees to climb in. Malia was long legged and lean so she would be able to keep up with ease.

Abigail moved toward her and Malia had to tighten her jaw to keep herself from chuckling at her waddling gait. It was just too cute! But as Abigail got to her side, she put her paws on her Malia's side, seemingly stuck. It seemed even though Malia was small, she was still big compared to Abigail. Malia didn't mind lowering herself to her stomach though so Abigail could climb on board. Her skin twitched at the feel of her tiny paws. It was tickling her! She waited as Abigail climbed up, trying to stay as still as possible as the tiny creature settled herself on Malia's back. She knew she wasn't as full and stocky as other species, coyotes being created more lean and lanky. Only when Abigail said she was ready did Malia slowly stand adn roll her shoulders, making sure Abigail was safely anchored before she walked in the direction the butterfly had flown. "Think it'll take us to a whole hive of butterflies? Group? Flutter? What do you even call a whole lot of butterflies?" She scrunched up her nose, her brows furrowed.

She'd pause if she thought she lost sight of the butterfly, only to have it flutter back into view from resting on a branch or plant. Her eyes lit up in triumph every time she found the butterfly again, but so far, they'd only seen the one. Her ears flicked back, wanting to keep up conversation with Abigail. Might as well talk while they're tracking, right? "So, Abigail, do you have other Were friends or a pack or something? I have a pack. I was recruited by a horse thing, Frost. You ever seen a horse before? I hadn't until I met Frost. I called him a goat. Still do, sometimes." She smirked, tail flicking in amusement at the memory.
