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.

South
all that is gold does not glitter
not all who wander are lost


"How would you rather I look at you like?" He could hardly help that wayward challenge in his words. His eyes glittering with certain mischief. Ah, women, want you to appreciate them, the way they looked, the way they smelled, the tiny nuances to their flirtations, but if you look at them the wrong way they get their circuits in a twist. The silvery and sea blue infused eyes seem to cast her a glance.

She then announces that his viewing pleasure is about to end. "I think that is where your wrong." He replied smoothly, that suggestive hint lingering within his Irish accented words even though she is grinning at him like she should earn a prize. "I still have those gorgeous judgmental eyes to look at, now don't I?" Now he toys with her buttons as if curious to see if he could crack that confident composure he was quite sure was only for show.
The Waitress shows up before commenting on them and how much fun there are having, bringing out massive but snuggly hoodie. How peculiar that they even had them here, perhaps it was some sort of unspoken girl code that he knew nothing about.

"She chose to sit next to me too.. I think I make the little lass a little nervous." That rich irish brogue easily parts from his lips. He then continues to bring more of that much desired warm meal to his mouth, he was going to enjoy every last morsel of that greasy but delicious carnivore's special.

The dark-haired woman began to explain how she had family back in Ireland but never had went to that grand country. "You have family back in Ireland and you've never been, well that is a sin. You ever get the chance, you really should go." He cast her a sideways look before she asked him of his family. How long had it been since he had been home, those memories almost to painful to relieve, even after all that time away.

"No family.. I used to.. but they are all gone now, not they would miss me much.. It's just me and my April Rose now.." He spoke about his boat with a wistful fondness. The one woman that would never truly let him down, despite being a temperamental thing. He apparently had a type, gorgeous and high maintenance and feisty.

"Fussy thing she is, but she had kept me safe after all this time even when the sea is at its worst." He gestured to the sea, a challenge within his eye then, even in the heat of the tumultuous storm, he still wanted to be close to that sea. It meant he was far away from hell. At least, that in his mind, was a small semblance of a victory even when still the devil was so content to snatch him back.

Their conversation shifts to alcohol, she certainly did have a point though, skip the bad stuff and go right to the good shit. Couldn't argue with that logic. But then she had to open her mouth again she said she thought he was a pina colada man, now she was truly out to lunch. He could not help the way he looks at her near incredulously then, bringing some more of those buttery eggs to his lips. A little on the salty side but he hardly cared. He drew in a ocean scented breath, scoffing at the dark haired witch with narrowed eyes. He raised a singular brow at her..

"Get rid of the nasty coconut and pineapple, that will be the only way to make me a pina colada man." He flashed her a teasing grin. Of course, that only left the rum. A booming laughter escaped him in time for another thunderous boom as the wind began to pick up, sending a few unfastened napkins to go scattering about.

He could hardly help but recall that night he wished he had forgotten, nearly drinking his weight in whisky. She seemed curious of it but not bold enough to ask him flat out, not that he was going to share that particular night with her. "Not my finest moment little dear." There was mischievous glint to his eye. "I woke up with the biggest hangover I've ever had in my life, it's a good thing the owner likes me, he let me sleep at the bar. Most people would have sent my sorry ass to the streets." The reasoning why he drowned himself in an ocean of booze had little meaning to the pair now and he seemed quick to gloss over it.

The Irish warlock seemed to easily call her out for what she was. Surely she was adept at picking out their own kind from a crowd. Right? Maybe not, she did seemed to get somewhat offended by his words like he had called her a filthy word. He was not anticipating that. "What do you.... oh.. yes, witch. " He raised a brow at her, surely she had to have known. If not, this was going to make for one hell of an awkward talk. "Little witch.. big city.. I've seen it before. Nothing to be ashamed about if that's what it is. I am a Warlock.. not much of one but I have a few tricks up my sleeve." That roguish grin spread across his lips, amused and yet so painfully cocky as he does not waiver. She will not pull a fast one on him, but she could surely try.
