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.

Nadya had stalled quite a bit when it came to making that call to her parents. It wasn't just a request for them to watch the twins but tell them she was dating Frost who was not a predator. It had been an interesting phone call to say the least. She had heard the hesitancy in her mother's voice with her father in the background adding his two cents. Honestly, shouldn't it be the other way around and the herbivore that's wary about this arrangement? They had accepted meeting him though, insisted on it really.
The morning that they planned to set out Nadya had decided to dye her hair. Although Frost had insisted he could use his ability to keep her disguised, she wanted his attention fully on the task rather than doing something she could easily hide with some dye. When the twins had seen her though it had been a complete meltdown. It was as if she were a different person with the near white blonde hair similar to Frost's. Micah had been the most inconsolable of the pair and difficult to get to stop crying and shrieking if she got close. Eventually though he had worn himself out and practically passed out for a nap. It had broken Nadya's heart but she had done what needed to be done. She loaded the twins and their things into the car along with her pack for her and Frost's international trip. It was probably the lightest she had ever packed. She had been assured that she could get things on their excursion after freeing his people.
Nadya remained silent in the passenger seat all the way to her parents home almost 3 hours away. It wasn't until they pulled up in the driveway of the white picket fence home she had grown up in that she turned her attention to Frost. "...Ready?" Nadya unloaded Micah from the car and guided him to take Frost's hand since he was still sniffly about her while she took Izzy. With one final glance to ensure Frost was ok, Nadya trudged up to the front door and knocked.
It didn't take long for the door to swing ajar, a petite middle-aged woman standing in the doorway. "..What did you do to your hair?" The look of surprise clear on her features. Nadya sighed heavily, "Hi mom; it's temporary." "Ok." The confusion was still clear in the woman's tone but she still stepped aside for Nadya to enter and turned away to lead into the house. Nadya motioned for Frost to follow through the well kept home to the living room. In the living room a viking of a dark haired man stood from the couch at their entrance. "What did you do to your hair?" His question echoed the woman's at seeing her but then catching sight of Frost, it seemed to make it clear to him.
Nadya glanced between Frost and her adoptive father for a moment before quickly starting the introduction. "Mom, dad, this is Frost...Frost...Cynthia and Robert." Despite the tenseness from the adults, Izzy was delighted being back at her grandparents place and happily hurried over to them, "Nana! Ganpa!"
