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 places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

That sudden question of why Nadya was not in their pack seemed to prompt some measure of thought in the lanky leopard. Tobias seeming to consider that notion for several long moments, his mind attempting to piece together what remained of those fractured memories if only to find some sort of suitable answer. That question a seemingly difficult one before his dark gaze returned to Maeve.

"Went to.....live with....the horse. She likes him...better then.....me and Tetra. She took my....kittens with her. Micah and Isabella."

It was rare, in every sense, for Tobias to mention his children, let alone offer their names and yet that his mind still clearly retained that information was apparent. The boy, at least seemingly, holding no outward emotion towards those children he had fathered. Tobias, if anything, appearing distinctly detached from them in near the same fashion Tetradore and himself had detached themselves from Nadya. The young man, clearly, intended to offer little else on the subject. Maeve herself, much as he was prone to do, seeming distracted by the far more intriguing prospect of an easter egg hunt. Tobias rose easily from the floor then before moving to take Maeve's hand and make their way to the park. The lanky leopard hardly seeming to mind as Maeve skipped along beside him. Tobias so hardly understood the notion of skipping, the boy assured Maeve was simply walking in an obscure manner and yet, if she desired to do as such, Tobias so no need to stop her. It hardly took long to arrive at the park, Tobias allowing Maeve to drag him toward that registration tent. The gangly deviant distinctly aware of those eyes upon him and yet Tobias had become used to being stared at it to a certain extent. The boy long ago having become aware that he was not ...like the others. Even if he hardly knew how. Maeve's staunch efforts to defend him however readily seemed to prompt that simper to his lips. Fleeting as it was. Several other adults looking hurriedly away as if ashamed to be caught out by a child.

With that registration taken care of Tobias readily allowed himself to be led to the starting line for that event. That feeling of anticipation and that tempting prize of chocolate all the boy required to ready himself for that event. His affinity for finding those things he sought having already assured him of the location of a number of those chocolates well in advance of any other being. Tobias, after all, did like to win. He liked to win a lot. The sudden blow of that whistle saw Tobias sprint ahead like that wild animal he was. The young man leaving the rest of those parents well and truly behind as he rushed towards that first collection of eggs. That sudden command for Maeve to come to him readily saw the young Fae girl appear. Maeve, he had decided, was a good follower. Those eggs were snatched up readily and tipped into the basket, Tobias pointing toward the next location before taking off with Maeve in tow once more. The young Fae girl proving to be an excellent partner. Those three chocolate rabbits hidden beneath the bushes were an excellent find, Tobias content to take them all as well with no consideration for the fact that, surely, they were only supposed to take one. Tobias distinctly set on the idea of winning that game no matter the odds. That easter egg hunt he and tetradore had taken part in with each other having resulted in several all out brawls between the men. Tobias, by that notion, assured of just how this game should be played.

The sudden shout from another parent to leave those eggs for the children saw Tobias pause mid-stride, the tall young man glancing in the direction of the annoyed father accompanied by his far younger, slower son. Tobias, in that moment, content to scowl before that near sneaking grin found its way to his features.

"Bite me."

Defending himself, it seemed, was perhaps one of Tobias' more capable skills. Several parents in the vicinity covering their children's ears as Tobias merely charged onward to that next collection of eggs- one that had already been discovered by another child. The small boy carefully picking up one egg after the other only for Tobias to reach down and grasp the back of the boys shirt before hoisting him up and into the air- his legs dangling comically. That lifting other people's children into the air was, perhaps, not ideal had hardly occurred to the boy. Tobias instead glancing around for Maeve before summoning her to grasp those eggs. The sudden cries from several parents readily prompted Tobias to stare curiously at that oncoming rush. It was, after all, hardly unusual to scruff a Were-child. A human child, it seemed, regarded under different rules. Maeve's sudden insistance to run prompted the leopard to abruptly release his captive. Tobias taking off after Maeve and her overfilled basket of eggs and chocolate rabbits- several of those parents hot on their heels.

Tobias' own frame, well over six foot in height, was well adapted to that business of running, the boy reaching abruptly down to hoist Maeve up and into his arms before seeming to find an entirely new level of speed. Tobias' legs capable of running far faster and further then young Maeve's. The parents, so eventually, giving up on chasing Tobias now that Maeve was in his arms. The Nightshade Beta content to run near the far end of that park before easily and gently lowering Maeve back to the ground and releasing her. Those protective instincts, it seemed, having refused to allow the girl to be left behind. Tobias so abruptly flopping down onto the grass. The boy hardly appearing strained from his run as he held his hand out for ones of those eggs. A victory celebration of sorts. Tobias patting that grass next to him for Maeve to join him.

"We won."

He was, after all, sure that they had.

I enjoy every moment of it.
