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.

He listened quietly as she spoke so fondly of her pack. He nibbled on his sandwich and chips, taking far longer to savor and enjoy his meal than she did. But at the mention of Nadya and her twins, he smiled. He had met them before and they seemed so kind. The twins had been very eager to learn more about his surfboard, despite Nadya's insistence that they leave him alone. He had enjoyed the company and he loved teaching others how to surf, so it was no surprise that he was teaching them to appreciate water.
Taking a sip of his water, he washed down the last of his sandwich and chips before he looked back to Malia. "I met Nadya and her children here on this beach. Her children were fascinated with my surfboard. In fact..." He paused a moment as he looked up at her, meeting her gaze. "I'm supposed to help teach them how to swim. I miss teaching, so I am quite excited." It had been far too long since he had taught children how to swim and surf. Back in South Carolina, he had his own surf school. While the waves were not the best there, it did offer him some extra cash and time spent in his favorite place: the beach.
He cleaned up their trash and bagged it all to dispose of properly a little later. He reached into his bag and pulled out the bottle of sun screen before standing up. "Stand up. Let me put some of this on your back." He stood waiting for her to follow his lead and put down her towel.
Only when she was bare to him, he moved behind her, squirting some of the sunscreen into his hands. Slowly, he worked in a thick lather, starting at her shoulders and slowly working down to where her swimsuit just barely covered her bottom. His strokes were innocent and purposeful, trying his best to cover her so she wouldn't burn. "Okay, turn around..." Then he squirt some of the sunscreen on her arms, chest, and belly before doing the same to himself. "Follow my lead." He began to rub in the sunscreen, starting on his arms and working over his chest and then finally down his abdomen. "Can you do my back? Don't mess up, though...I don't want to burn." He grinned at her in a playful manner as he turned his back towards her so she could sunscreen him up.
