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 forest had always been a haven for him. He would lose himself to the sounds of the birds and the gentle sway of the trees. The sounds of rabbits scurrying and leaves rolling around the forest floor were heaven to him. This is where he came to escape. More time than not, he came here as a dog, enjoying the freedom of running with his ears flapping in the wind. He loved the feel of the wind against his fur. But today, he came as himself, dressed quietly in a pair of jeans, hjs cowboy boots, button up checkered shirt tucked nicely into the waist of his jeans, and completed with a had made for none other than a true cowboy.

You see, dear readers, Ashton is from a small town in North Carolina where his country accent runs deep and chivalry still exists. So naturally, when he sees the girl, no woman... in the woods, he is concerned for her own safety. But he cannot smell anyone. The woman is alone but she appears so conflicted. Her fear calls to him and he takes another step forward, unknowingly breaking the single twig that seems to force her fear into overdrive.

As he gets closer, he watches her closely, his eyes soft with a blue that seems to penetrate the soul. "Excuse me ma'am, are you alright?" Always respectful as a proper country boy should be, he's unprepared for the way the woman seems on edge...as if she cannot decide to flee or fight. "I promise I mean you no harm." He extends his hand out to her, a polite and hopefully welcoming way to offer his help, should she need or want it.

He takes another step closer to her, careful to go slow as to not scare her. He reaches up gently with his free hand to pull the hat from atop his head. He places it delicately over his heart. "Please ma'am, can I help you in any way." His accent is thick, but there is a sweetness about his voice. Malia had always told him he had the voice of an angel, even if he sounded a little funny to her. But she had trusted him easily and he only hoped this woman might trust him as well. He wasn't here to hurt her...not at all. He only wanted to make her feel safe.
