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.

They were a curious pair- truly. The dark skinned man seemed confident if not almost indifferent in some manner, while the rather pretty young woman seemed almost nervous in his presence, her words flustered as she stumbled back and away from his towering form though he makes no move to press his presence upon her further as both ears twist backward to listen to the dark fellow- this Kato. Hmm, evidently there was a thinker among them, or at least a man whom seemed to take the sarcasm of his words with a more literal intention, speaking now of the dual purposes of a fence despite the metaphorical reference with which it had been offered. For now however, the stallion sees little need to correct him, merely finding a quirk of sorts upon his lip in some vague hint of intrigue at the other man. In truth he rarely got on well with other men, his own personality tending to clash with the more dominant stance most men seemed to take and yet for now at least he is content to offer a more neutral approach to both so-called trespassers, allowing any tension his form had held to melt smoothly away and offer a far more...peaceable stance.

Kato and Edith it is then.

The words are offered smoothly and yet seeming to lack any true emotion at all, brushing against the minds of both before the stallion moves abruptly to turn from the woman, heavy feathered hooves thudding against the soft earth as he moves to wander back into the trees- almost as if he had decided entirely to leave- the pair left in silence for several moments. He emerges once more from very near the same spot he had exited, this time however, his equine form has been lost entirely, a young man instead of a stallion making his way back into the clearing as his fingers move to do up the last stray button upon his shirt. It would be...disagreeable, after all, to shift back without any clothing entirely, Frost fortunate not to have left his clothes far from this little gathering as arms fold across his chest now, leaning back against the nearest tree in a manner near callous in its ease.

He is significantly smaller in this form, his body lithe, light, though the shock of snowy hair upon his head is still rather reminiscent of his beastly form, thick locks hanging down and over the violet of his eyes to conceal them from view- though his gaze lingers upon the pair before him regardless. His mood tonight is fairly amicable, it would seem, the smooth baritone of his voice offered once more.

"I assure you, Edith that I hardly lay claim to the woods in their entirety, you are free to move about the vast majority of them, this area however, is one I tend to frequent though I suppose you can be forgiven. 'Crashing' as you put it, is hardly a serious crime."

His lip lifts once more, a simper seeming to dance across it, even if only momentarily as his attention flicks between the two, a small frown creasing his youthful features.

"Have neither of you anywhere to sleep?"

It seemed a curious thing, truly, to come across two beings whom apparently seemed to lack homes- a recurring find on his part, his own home seeming to act as something of a WereHotel of late and yet he inquires all the same. It was a rare and unusual thing to find one, let alone two wandering Were's and yet whether either was worth more then a passing glance on his part is yet to be established. Frost, after all, saw little need to waste his time on those whom had no true value to offer.

"I may be able to offer you something far more substantial than the dirt to sleep on- but we shall see. It is dangerous to wander around alone in certain parts of this city, where are your packs?"

His questions are general, or seemingly so, much of the man appearing entirely unassuming and yet such is a mistake far too many have made before- the snowy-haired young man far more cunning then he truly appears.

"It's Frost, by the way."

He continues to lean back against the tree, form calm, relaxed though his words are assured and confident in their deliverance, barely visible gaze lingering still upon the pair.
