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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.

Perhaps Sebastian showing up at her establishment tonight should have been the first indication to Nadya that tonight wasn't going to go as expected. It had started out just fine, practicing routines with the girls until she was left to dance on her own. It had been a surprise when Sebastian had suddenly popped in after nearly two years claiming he simply was checking in on her. A vampire, the very omen of death, and she had danced so wrapped up in his arms. The pair had caught up, Nadya confiding in him on a number of matters that had been plaguing her when that feeling had hit her. It was one she had felt before so so many years ago as a child but had long forgotten. It had been duller then as she hadn't yet fully developed a bond with the pack but she had felt it nonetheless. The sudden snap of the line that connected her to her parents was what she felt now. She hadn't known at the time what it had meant but she had come to learn that it meant only one thing...death.
Nadya barely excused herself from Sebastian's presence as she felt like the very air was stolen from her lungs. The young woman had quickly fled her building and taken off down the street. She really didn't know what to do or where to go but panic set in at that void that now existed where that tether to her Alpha...her brother once was. Her footfalls fell heavily against the concrete and the night air bit at her lungs as she reached out feeling the still intact pack bonds. This told the Beta that it was only her brother that was in trouble for surely Tobias wouldn't ever allow something to befall their Alpha without laying down his own life. It was that alone that had Nadya skirting around the West and heading straight to the South. There was no way her brother could have been harmed in the West...he had to be in the South and gotten cornered by Hunters. She was determined to find him. The shift overcame Nadya as swiftly and easily as breathing, shredding the dress she wore without a care to the white fabric as it fluttered to the ground.
Without missing a stride the ebony jaguar was left where the hispanic woman once was barreling down the damp dirt path into the heart of the forest. Where exactly she was supposed to be looking she didn't know so it made her path haphazard as she weaved this way and that. All that Nadya was sure of was that there was a pain unlike any other that was ripping at her very core. That blind fear and heartache was all that was guiding her until the call of her fellow packmate cut through the air. Nadya halted immediately, her lean muscled form tense as her ears pricked forward for the direction in which the call came. Her lips crinkled back as she parted her jaws letting out her own roar in reply. Hopefully Tobias had answers.
It was a faint relief that washed over Nadya seeing Tobias at least unharmed. The pair collided with equal gusto, rumbles of greeting and brushing against each other. The press of Tobias' lyrics in her head was confusing as she didn't know the extent of the deviant's power though knew he must feel the absence in the pack bond as well. Nadya pulled back from Tobias noting the watering in his usually playful gaze. "Tobi...I...I feel it too. Where was he? We can help him if you just tell me where he went off to." Nadya may not know completely if her healing powers could help but if he was still alive she was going to damn well try.
Nadya didn't have to wait long for Tobias to answer her question. However, it was the last answer that the woman expected and immediately flooded her system with added confusion...and anger. Samantha...Tet....horse? She knew just as well as Tobias that there was only one horse that her brother would have been fighting. Why they would have been fighting was the question. Had she not given Frost a clear answer that she would join him? All she had requested was time to get things in order. She had said yes! These thoughts scrambled through her mind and flared her abilities to life. No...no...Tobias had to be lying. "You're wrong!" Nadya spat angrily, a large paw rising quickly to swipe across Tobias' cheek and though her claws were sheathed it would pack quite the wallop if connected. At the same time of her strike several trees near them gave a loud crack as their trunks were exploded with her ability sending shards flying. She didn't wish to inflict him pain but her pain and anger lashed out at the closest thing.
The panther whipped away from Tobias nearly frothing, golden eyes hardened as it darted about at the foliage before turning on the man child once more. "Where is he? Where is Frost?! Where is my brother's body?" Her claws unsheathed and gripped the earth beneath her as she held on by a thread to her control of her abilities became thin. "I will go to Frost...I will deal with him." She would go alone...no one else in their pack could get hurt.
