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.

Henry Tudor
the beast within
There always seemed to be a battle between man and beast. It seemed to never end. No matter how hard he might try, the beast within Henry Tudor seemed to always win. It clung to his consciousness, never actually leaving and always right there just beyond the shadows, just waiting for the right opportunity to once again gain control. It was an evil game his panther played, one that Henry was studying, desperate to one day defeat.
The moon shone bright in the sky, at its fullest and brightest. Henry had succumbed to the moon, too far away from his pack for their guidance. He had tried to return home to beat the moon, but the change had happened far before he had been ready for it. It ripped apart his clothes, broke his bones, and left him feeling vulnerable and alone.
For hours, it seemed, Henry wrestled within himself, fighting to regain control of the cat. When he finally did, he had found himself farther south than he had ever been before. This area was unrecognizable to him. Blue eyes peered around him, searching for anything that might be familiar. He was lost.
The cat, picking up on the sensation of fear, enhanced those feelings, almost acting as if he was using the as ammunition to once again regain control. But Henry would not allow that to happen. After what had happened to Sterling, there was no way in hell he was going to let his cat rule his life again.
The moved with purpose through the trees, trying so hard to find some sort of place that was familiar or for a scent to be picked up that he recognized. He smelled the scent of the sea and he followed it until he broke through the trees to an uninhabited part of the beach (or so he thought). He climbed atop a large rock and slowly lowered himself to the ground. At least it was peaceful here. The sound of the waves crashing upon the sandbar was soothing. If he couldn't be with his pack tonight...at least he had some soothing sounds to focus on.
