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.

The silence was almost frightening. Willy had never been so far from his family; his pulsing waves of communication weren't received, no response. It had been days since he had heard another whale, the shifter having wander through a massive storm that wrecked the ocean days before. He had been hunting, hoping to bring something back to the pod and yet, not only did he find himself shorthanded on food... he had managed to swim too far to hear the family. The shifter had been raised within the confines of the pod, never straying too far and when they went to the land they went together, it was only natural; orcas stayed together. He had felt like he was wandering in circles, branching farther out every day and yet, he found himself close to a city, the noise could be heard beneath the water and it was just enough to distract him from the moment as he slowly breaches the surface, blowing air from his blow hole.

Zachary hardly pulls himself out of the water, just enough to get an eye out as he searches his surroundings. Such tiny figures walk along the beach, laughter dancing across the waves as he stays there for a moment, taking several deep breaths before plunging back under, his massive body gracefully disappearing as he moves farther out to sea, chasing a school of fish in the mean time. He even goes as far as to blow bubbles at them, enjoying the way they swim out of his way. Grunting, he releases a string of songs from his massive mouth only to swim faster and spiral through the ocean. Willy didn't realize how very bored it was to be alone, he had no one to play with! The fish swam in terror from him... and if he was being honest, he would run away too, big scary whale chasing you? Yeah, would probably make him wet himself.

Mentally sighing, he moves towards the open sea, just past the break, feeling the flow of the ocean around him. He hardly knows how long he swims and before he knows it he's swimming to the surface again, snorting through his blowhole as he scans his surroundings. Hesitating, the shifter catches a boat just in the distance, the massive black sails reaching for the sky and it was moving at a decent speed, enough to make a wake in its trail. Curiosity takes over him as he sinks beneath the surface and quickly swims in the direction of the sail boat, occasionally breaking the surface as he trails along in the wake. He follows for awhile long enough for the sail boat to stop and gather it's sails for the moment. Curiously, Willy watches as a man struts across the deck, listening to the tapping of his shoes echo through the ocean.

He stays there for a moment before diving under the boat, his dorsal fin brushing up against the bottom of the boat and man... did that feel good! Blowing bubbles in excitement, he rubs up against it again, hard enough to rock the boat as a sound of satisfaction escapes his massive mouth. When was the last time he got a good back scratch like this?! Without any regard to the human on board, he continues his scratching and therefore only continues to rock the boat more. No damage being done but perhaps a terrifying experience for the human on board.
