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.

and the stars in their orbits shone pale through the lightof the brighter, colder moon


The pain that had increased recently whenever Nadya tried to shift saw the young brunette sticking to her human form. It was horribly new not being able to walk in her feline form and deny the call of the night. Mainly, it caused her to feel vulnerable. Nadya spent her time during the day at her business getting it put together for opening night and then wandered over to the west side of town where the Ark lay. While she rarely went inside except to eat, Nadya remained close to it for the security knowing that her brother and Tobias were just inside should she need them. She still did not care to be inside Ark very much, especially in her current condition, but near the end of the night she'd wander in to eat and then was walked home by Tobias on Tetradore's orders. This was the routine of things.

It was a beautiful night, clear skies with a view of the stars and the moon waning in preparation for the full moon in almost two weeks. There was still the late winter nip in the air but nothing a jacket didn't shield against. Nadya didn't notice the cold as much as a human but she wasn't dead to it like a vampire. "I just want to make a little stop." She commented to Tobias as she steered them passed the path to her and Isolt's shared apartment and to the outskirts. The need to be somewhere that felt secluded was too great, away from the lights and concrete jungle back to the earth and trees that she missed so much. As soon as they came to the border Nadya kicked off her shoes to hold so she could go barefoot and truly feel connected again. The earth was still damp and soft from the snow that had melted a few days ago; there hadn't been enough sun and heat to breech through the thick trees to dry the ground completely. It was both a frustrating torment and relief being amongst the trees again. Nadya wished she could shift and run so she could feel the freedom it brought but was at least calmed slightly that she could feel the earth beneath her feet again and the smell of the wet grass.

Nadya glanced down at the spotted leopard who continued to follow her path. Trying to shake Tobias would be a futile attempt due to his heightened location sense but it did feel a little frustrating tonight to have him following her. She was feeling restless and simply wanting to be alone for some reason though she figured it was just a mood swing caused by the hormonal roller coaster she had been under these past few months. "You know you don't have to follow me. I can get home from here." Nadya paused in her tracks and perched on a large rock. "Tetty will want you back soon and I don't want to go home yet." She wriggled her toes into the soft ground in emphasis and sighed as she brought a hand up to roam her very swollen stomach. The twins had been eerily still the whole day which her organs were grateful for the break from being soccer practice. "Seriously, Tobi, I want to be alone for a little bit. If you won't go back to tetty why don't you go hunt?" Honestly it was surprising that the two had peacefully coexisted for so long already with Nadya not just willingly allowing Tobias' presence but seeking it out and the patience she had held for his antics.
