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.

What Sterling didn't know was that Henry had something special planned for Sterling's birthday. While it was still over a month away, Henry had been working hard to perfect a new ability that he was going to showcase to his boyfriend. He had discovered that he could remove a scar with a simple touch. He had discovered the ability while looking at one of his own scars. He watched it lessen in appearance. He'd tried that daily before eventually, the scar had all but gone away. And since this discovery, he was trying to enhance it so he could give Sterling a gift of no scare.
Since the night of the accident, those scars had been a silent reminder to Henry about the destruction he could cause. It reminded him that he had hurt the one person who meant more to him than anything. It had kept him from wanting to be intimate with Sterling â€" for sheer fear that he might lose control and repeat itself. If Sterling's scars did that to him...he couldn't even imagine what they did for Sterling. While he wished he could get an erection around the scars, he couldn't help the fact that it ruined his libido...despite his love for Sterling. Maybe this new ability would be the key to helping them become one again.
Henry tried not to think about those thoughts anymore, wanting only to think about the failed dinner that he'd tried to offer Sterling. It had been a horrible mess, but at least Sterling was taking it in stride. At his words, he chuckled lightly. "Maybe one that can be cooked in the microwave...I feel like that might be safer. The box tells you how long to cook it." He chuckled lightly. He was a horrible cook. He wished he had been born with some ability, but he had not.
Eyes settled on the moon, knowing that very soon, he would have to resort to seeking comfort from his pack. Even though he and Sterling never talked about it, they knew what the full moon meant â€" it meant that Henry would turn into a monster...something Sterling didn't want to be around. That made his thoughts go back to the conversation he'd had with Tet about having Sterling around him in his feline form. He still wasn't sure how to bring it up. It never seemed like the right time.
