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.

Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true



Nadya could only hope that Ebony would change her mind, for the boy's sake at least. She was relieved though when the woman decided to leave rather than inflame the situation further. Nadya's only concern was that Ebony wouldn't ruin it for everyone else. Her worries were calmed with Frost's assurance that her thoughts hadn't indicated she would become a problem. Nadya gently threaded her fingers through his hair, pressing that calming kiss to his lips before turning her attention on the returning older women. Sleep, that's what they needed and thankfully a spare cottage was available.

Nadya followed Frost into the identical cottage. Despite the stiffness of the bed and the chill that would surely nip at her, the wear on the long travel began to seep into her body as she lay beside Frost. The small bed wasn't meant for two grown adults but Nadya hardly minded as she pressed against her boyfriend's side. His natural body heat would keep her from freezing long after his affinity had left. Nadya was sure that the sun rose sooner here in Iceland than back home as those rays touched her face through the window. Her attempt to bury her face into Frost's side was interrupted by the sound of that meal bell. She didn't know why she had expected something else but there was that hint of disappointment in her eyes before that same glare was cast at Frost in his disguise. The only thing that made her capable of swallowing a few bites was the knowledge they wouldn't be here long enough to deal with another meal time. She'd have to eat another of those apples when they got back to the cottage.

It was a savings grace when they finally returned to the cottage and Nadya was able to devour the last of the apples Frost had pilfered the day before. She listened carefully as Frost began to explain his plan on getting as many of the herd out of the compound as they could. "We'll work with what we get." It was true that 10 minutes wasn't a lot of time but she was sure at a full run a herd could cover a lot of ground. Maybe they could find a way to jam the gates once opened. "Maybe if I can get a clear view of the joints my energy ability can disable them?" It would require stopping amidst the chaos, becoming a greater target, but if it bought them more time leading to more getting free then it would be worth it.

What caused Nadya to immediately put the brakes on Frost was the very idea that he wanted them to separate. There were no outsiders looking to Frost to lead and therefore Nadya had no problem now voicing objections to his idea. "...No, absolutely not." She pursed her lips and shook her head. "He's a child!" Did he truly think she'd be safer on the back of a child than him? "What if he freezes or something? We should stick together. Plus, what if having the both of us means the Hunters decide to leave the others alone and just focus on us? I understand the danger of being together but I don't...I don't want to leave you." She couldn't explain the grip in her chest at the thought of being separated from him...something happening to him and not knowing. How hard she had fallen for him that the mere thought of losing him made her tremble.
