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.

Hunting during daylight was still very new to the child vampire. It required a completely different set of rules which she was unfamiliar with. It also meant that there were no shadows to lure victims to or utilize her shadow ability with. Those reasons had Anna's hunger dulled slightly as she sat upon that swing and eyed the children and their caregivers. The one child that did catch the vampire's attention had grace in her movements even as she ploughed headlong through the obstacles of the playground. Only one familiar with the species of the supernatural world would notice the very subtle point of the girl's ears indicating fae heritage.

The monkey bars proved to be the fae child's weakness as the girl tumbled down unceremoniously to the sand beneath. Blood blossomed to the surface of her skin and that coppery scent traveled easily in the breeze to the vampire, pulling that dulled hunger to the forefront once more. Anna couldn't ignore something like that and was pulled from her swing to close the distance between the fallen child and herself. The control which the vampire exhibited was immense, so used to simply pouncing on her victims. It was the warm bright rays of the sun which saved the fae in this instance. Anna's fingers clenched and fidgeted at the sides of her dress as she worked through that internal battle, offering the fae a solution to her monkey bar problem all the same.

Anna nodded slowly, "Your hands are too slippery. The sand dries your hands...like chalk." Those sapphire hued eyes watch the girl right herself from the ground once more, rub her hands in the sand, then leap back onto those bars. This time the girl conquered those monkey bars and with subdued glee returned to thank her. Anna tilted her head slightly at the girl's words. She supposed one need such as hunger could be pushed away even for a few more hours for the other childish need for companionship in play. "Anna-Marie." Names were required for play? Then again she mostly only played with her food which didn't leave a whole lot of time for introducing oneself. "I like to play tea party." Could she get the girl to follow her back home? "I have lots of dolls and cookies and a big house we can play hide-and-seek too." At least none of what she said was false. Despite her previous caregiver fleeing the city, it seemed she still paid the housekeepers to come and clean and stock the shelves with sweets for the child.
