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.

It had been another couple of weeks since the bathroom incident at Sterling's apartment. Truthfully, Henry thought about it often, probably more often than he cared to admit. Even now, when he was laying on the couch staring up at the ceiling and waiting for sleep to find him, he often thought about Sterling. He thought about the way he dropped his drawers as he walked down the fall, the way his's eyes couldn't leave him, and the way he made him feel. Something about Sterling was stirring something inside his soul and he couldn't figure out what it was. The longer he lived with Sterling, the more he wanted to insert himself into the male's bed. However, Henry still wasn't entirely sure if that was what Sterling wanted from him. So he kept quiet...trying his best to contain his feelings. Right now, the lid was about to burst. Luckily, Henry had the lid taped down with duck tape and glue. However, he was sure that soon, it would pop off permanently.

Today was like any other day. It was a holiday, so Henry had the day off of work. He had seen Sterling off to work, knowing that cooks rarely got days off, let alone holidays. He spent the morning cleaning the apartment and going over his own finances. He already knew he had more than enough money to move out of Sterling's apartment and get his own, but he kept that little piece of information to himself. After all, he didn't want to leave.

However, what broke up the mundane day was a simple knock at the apartment door. Henry answered it, curious as to who was at the door. No one came to visit them. It was a police officer who asked to come in. Henry opened the door wider for him, motioning to the couch for the man to seat himself if he wanted to. The officer refused. He was only going to be here a moment. But that moment would change Henry's life forever.

As soon as the officer left, Henry looked at the clock: 3pm. Sterling was probably getting ready for the dinner rush right about now. He only had a few minutes. Running out the door (completely forgetting to lock the apartment), Henry ran to Sterling's work as quickly as he could. Disregarding the "employee's only" sign, Henry burst into the kitchen, grabbing Sterling and dragging him from the room before anyone could notice. He drug him into a brook closet and shut the door behind them. It was dark and Henry could feel Sterling's close proximity. The smell of grease was such an aphrodisiac. However, now was not the time. Looking in the direction of where Sterling's eyes should be, Henrys spoke. "The police came today...I have a safe-deposit box at the bank. Apparently my name came up because the fees on the box hadn't been paid and the owner not seen in some time. That owner is me..." Henry wasn't sure what to think about this news. Anything could be stored in that box: money, jewels, keys to some vast holding, and a multitude of other things. Most importantly, it could hold a key to his life before his memories were taken. It was big news and a big break for Henry...and Sterling was the one person Henry wanted to share this with. "Do you know what this could mean?!?!?!?!?" There was fear and excitement in his voice. He wasn't sure what was about to happen...all he knew was that he wanted his roommate to be involved.
