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.

Truthfully, Emmy wasn't too sure about his species to begin with. She'd never been around vampires before. Where she was from, supernatural species were never very open about their origins. One would never know the other species existed unless they slipped up. Like Emmy, for example. The poor girl was only discovered because she had accidentally created a rainstorm in her home because she was upset with her parents. That's when her torture had started.
So naturally, now that she was in a place with so many super natural species that lived quite openly about who they were, it was hard for Emmy to adjust. In the 24 hours since she'd been here, she'd already met a wolf and now a vampire...not to mention she'd heard that there were other witches too. It was a lot to take in.
When he spoke, she looked up at him cautiously. He was trying to be friendly, but Emmy was so hard to trust that she just couldn't convince herself to completely be open with him. "You're the first vampire I've met." She was trying to be friendly, but her fear was eating her alive and making it damn near impossible.
But even as she stands there utterly confused by him, she cannot help but notice that he's genuinely trying to help her. He's handed her the satchel and he's stepped back to give her space. It was strange for someone to be quite so nice to her.
She threatens him, telling him that she would kill him if he tried to harm her. She might not know exactly how to kill him, but she would try to the best of her ability. He seems to chuckle at his own joke, a joke she doesn't necessarily understand. But then he's offering his name and she sighs. She can't be more rude than she already has been to him. "Emerson...but people call me Emmy." She hated her formal name. Her mother used it all too often to harass her and scold her. She would much rather be called Emmy.
And then he was asking if she had caused the storm and she instantly grew nervous. Her hands fumbled in front of her waist, her feet shuffling in the sand. "I...uh..." Her eyes slowly rose to meet his. "I didn't mean to..." She remembered Raven saying that she needed to practice her powers so she wouldn't hurt anyone. But this place was so damn populated that she was scared she might take down the whole city.
