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.

Emmy was trying to be friendly, to try and make polite conversation while they both wait for the same bus. She looks to him, hoping that he'd give his name in a proper response. But he says nothing. He simply offers her a smile through almost gritted teeth. She sighs as she looks out at the street. She has her hands in her lap, her thumbs fiddling with one another. She's never been one to be silent, but she's finding it difficult to engage in conversation with someone who truly wants nothing to do with her. So she besides to just be silent...at least as best as she can.
She watches as another bus rolls towards the stop. She leans forward, hoping that it's their bus so she can climb aboard and get home. But as it pulls up beside the bus stop, she sighs. It's not their bus. She smiles politely as some people climb off the bus, no doubt tired from a long day of work at the office. They offered a polite smile, but say nothing as they walk towards their homes.
And then the bus rolls away and Emmy is left still sitting here in silence with another soul who would rather be anywhere but here. She pulls out her cell phone, flipping through her apps to find something to occupy her time with. It wasn't until she heard her name that she slowly turned to look at the stranger beside her.
Emmy had hoped to hear a name escape his lips, but she's left still in the dark on the strangers name. Instead, he says something about her kind getting around more dignified than a bus. Something about the way he spoke made her uncomfortable. "What's that supposed to mean?" She tried not to sound harsh towards him, but it was rather difficult. It was almost as though he was profiling her. How could he possibly know that she was a witch? Was it that obvious?
