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.

Kohl is always one for the jokes. I roll my eyes. "Like I'd agree to pay anyone for being a worthless human being too lazy to work or fill out a form for welfare. You should know better than that." I say as I reach for his hand and follow him down to the dining area. I knew he wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off the models in bikinis but it's not like I don't have a few skimpy bathing suits of my own that I might just decide to take out before this vacation is over.

As we sit before the food, I can tell Kohl is not at all amused, looking at it like it's an alien rather than cooked food that he's supposed to be eating. I can tell Elena is not amused, either, though her husband looks discreetly amused about the whole thing. When I hear the mumble under his breath, I can't help but smile, cutting off another bite to put in my mouth. "Mm, this is so good, Elena. Kudos to your cook." I glance at Kohl, giving my best "this food is delicious" face just to get under his skin. Oh yeah, I'm totally going to hold him down and breath in his face later.

I knew my answer to Elena's question would not be the best in her opinion but it was the quickest answer I could come up with. She starts to question and Kohl tries to defend me, her sharp words cutting him off but I retain my dazzling smile around bites of liver. At her next questions, I put on my best somber expression, even giving her a bit of vulnerability in my eyes. I've become rather good at that doe eyed expression. "I'm sure they would be. I lost my parents when I was young so safety has always been important to me. The man who raised me made sure I knew how to protect myself and I've been hooked ever since." I make sure to get a sparkle in my eyes, like I'm really excited about my work.

At her explanation, I smile politely, even reaching out to rest my hand effectionately on Kohl's arm like it's the most natural thing. "Oh, I understand completely, Elena. It's great that he has such caring friends in his life." I squeeze his arm before retreating my hand back to my lap.

I cut him a piece of the meat and hold it up to him, sure that the other couple would be paying attention, forcing him to play along. I know how Kohl likes the attention and how he plays the game too so it's to my utmost amusement when he grabs my wrist to bring his mouth closer my cheek. My skin still buzzes even at the simple brush of his lips, my smile never faltering even as I hear his words. I squeeze my thighs together a little in anticipation more than anything at the promise, even before his lips brush my jaw and I feel desire blossoming like a rose between my legs. It's a good thing I'm well learned in training my face.

He takes the meat from my fork and I can tell even around the expression that he's not impressed. When Etienne starts to speak, I lean a little forward to show my rapt attention and I smile and nod. "Of course, you can call me whatever you like, Etienne." Of course his words of marriage is almost enough to make me blow my cover completely. Luckily I wasn't chewing food or I'm sure I'd be needing the heimlich right now. I inhale sharply, my brow rising a little. Thank goodness Kohl seems to be the main attraction with his own choking. I reach over to pat his back as if to help, maybe doing it a little too hard in some spots as if this is all his fault that they would even bring it up.

Finally he recovers enough to answer and I look back up as Etienne starts to speak again. I give him a sly smirk when he asks if I'd like to know what Kohl is bad at. My brow lifts in a tease now, a gesture to say "Of course I want to know!" Of course his answer is not exactly what I was hoping but it is entertaining anyway. I bring my hand to my mouth as I laugh lightly, my teasing gaze turning to Kohl as he tries to defend himself. "Well, remind me not to bring him to a stable any time soon."
