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.

As soon as she was done rubbing in the sunscreen, he felt himself inwardly sigh in relief. Her hands on him was doing a number on him. Between her hands and her nearly naked body, he was finding it hard to properly resist her. If it wasn't for his morals, he would have swept her off her feet and taken her back to his apartment and had his way with her. His mind had already thought about that scenario even if his heart was telling him no. It was so confusing but he was trying to make sense of it. Something told him that she felt the same way. The subtle change in her breathing was detectable. Perhaps she liked him just as much as he liked her. Perhaps he should finally try to make the jump from friendship to relationship. Would she accept such a leap? Was it too early? Did she even care for him in that manner? So many questions and the only way he would truly find out was to simply ask her.
But right now was not the time. She wanted to see him surf and he was thankful for the distraction. Surfing helped to clear his mind and no doubt that would be good for him right about now. "Alright. I'll surf a couple of waves and then we can build sand castles." He couldn't remember the last time he had ever played in the sand. Surely it was when he was a boy.
He stood up from the towel and brushed off some of the sand as he turned towards her. He extended his hand to help her up before he reached for the surf board with the other. He began to walk towards the ocean, his hand still holding onto hers. This was the first real test. Would she pull away from his touch? Would she intertwine her fingers with his? He was eager to find out.
