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.
PhD in Plant Biology Abigail Hughes
I don't understand why she appears so thrilled about collecting all her apples, and yet I honestly don't mind the odd excitement at all. I guess everyone has to be happy about something. I do find it humorous though that she would think I would eat all the apples. That would be a very unkind thing for me to do. Besides, I had already eaten my fill for the night. An apple or two would be a nice treat for the night before I had to turn in. I do try to hold onto her tail in a gentle manner. I really don't want to hurt the little thing. Hearing her squeak did cause me to pause for a moment, unsure if I was really hurting her or if she was trying to signal her distress and need for me to lower her back to the ground. Not hearing any more sounds or feeling her fuzzy form move around I continue to take her to the hole within the tree where I had stored our bounty of red fruit.
When I show her the hole in the tree I can feel her begin to wiggle around, my hold on her gentle, and yet I was losing her. Gently I try to move her towards the hole, letting her tail go. I didn't move my head fast enough, because I felt her tail whack the side of my face twice. With a rough snort I take a step back as I shake my head stunned for a moment. Seeing her present one of the apples to me I take a step forward, lowering my dial again so that my teeth could grasp the fruit carefully. As I crunch into the fruit, half of it falls onto the ground. I quickly snatch it up again lifting my head to keep an eye on her. She seemed a bit of a klutz and I didn't really want her falling out of the tree. Playfully I shove my nose next to her, nudging her gently in the hole when she tries to go for another apple. My large nose blocked the apple from her and I gently poked her again, this time snatching the apple and lifting my lips, to show that the apple was indeed in my clutches.
Happily I begin munching on my prize. I take my nose and head out of the hole in the tree, my ears twitching back and forth. I turn around to look up at the night sky taking note of the moon's position. My free time for the night was coming to a close. I would need to be awake early enough to feed the horses and clean their stalls, and attempt to make it in time for work. I don't really want to be late to either one, and if I were going to even attempt to wake up on time tomorrow I would need to leave the ginger raccoon. With a sigh I turn back to see Abby finish eating the last of her apple. Gently I nuzzle her for a moment, a bit sad that I would have to say goodbye, for now. It was nice to be around another Were for a change. Before, I turned around to take my leave I at least say farewell, although I do hope to see her around again.
"I'm glad I could help you get some apples, but now I need to get back to the stables. See you around Abby!"
