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.

Sterling's eyebrows rose ever so slightly at the notion that Henry had a very clear plan for this evening, even if he had anticipated the boy was up to something when he had inquired to the warlock's intentions for tonight. He could hardly help his inquisitiveness on what this sort of surprise was, even as Henry's lips pressed sweetly against his own. "All right..." He commented softly, his eyebrows furrowing ever so slightly as his blue eyes watching his companion disappear down the hallway and towards the bedroom that had once been theirs. Sterling watched the hallway for a moment, his head tilting to the side as he listened to those muted sounds, clearly attempting to guess what it was his companion had in store for him. Eventually, however, the boy gave up, instead settling in front of the fireplace to eye those very pictures of them that his companion had but moments ago been watching. It had been so long since he'd seen those pictures and those fleeting glimpses of happiness that they had once so regularly endured. How he missed those times and yet, he was assured they'd have them again. Things were only going to get better for them - and he was determined to ensure it.
His gaze glanced upwards at the sound of that door opening, his blue eyes setting upon his companion once again as he watched Henry approach him, quite nearly beaming in the process. A hint of suspicion crossed his features as Henry commanded him to close his eyes and yet, the warlock was willing enough to obey, his long eyelashes fluttering closed to plunge the man into darkness. He could feel Henry's fingers brushing against his hands and without hesitation, and a steadfast trust, Sterling rose to allow his companion to lead him through the house. He could hear the door closing behind them as Henry led them into the bedroom, his nose twitching at that scent as the smell of lavender so toyed with his senses. His head tilted to the side, allowing himself to be led into the bathroom before he was given permission to open his eyes. His gaze fluttered open, his eyes widened ever so slightly at the sight before him. There was little denying that there was a certain kind of romanticness to the notion that they might share a candlelit bath together, the man content to stare at it until Henry's hands settled on his waist, demanding it was time to get in.
He pulled his shirt from his form, followed by his jeans and underware, the articles of clothing falling into a neat pile on the floor as he joined Henry on the edge of the tub. Tentatively, a foot touched the water, that warmth entirely refreshing before the man slipped the rest of the way into the tub. "Dear lord..." He muttered softly to himself, enjoying the feeling as he settled between Henry's legs. That touch of the man's hands kneading into his shoulder caused his eyelashes to flutter closed, entirely enjoying that moment. A soft moan left his lips but moment's later, that simple touch was utterly amazing. For several minutes he let his companion finish before he opened his eyes, his gaze turning upwards towards the man. "Come in." He uttered softly, tugging upon Henry's forearms lightly to join him in that bath.
