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 a creature she was designed to live amongst Mother Nature and overcome whatever obstacle she deemed to thrust upon the she-wolf. Weather was a condition that she could easily adapt to including whatever terrain she was on. Any threat that crossed her path was quickly eliminated. It was just her way even though she was not one that wanted to engage with such violence all the time. Every now and then violence was the answer, but it didn't have to be the only solution. Perhaps it was a fear she had, a fear that if she admitted she enjoyed taking the lives of others that she would be put down for allowing her feral mind to overcome her judgment. The human side of her mind ordered the timid woman to kill only when it was justifiable or needed. To kill prey was understanding, but to kill another human creature, well, that was a difficult thing to swallow. Even when her cousin, their heir to her Sister Pack, would come to kill her with Isolt Raven always turned the other cheek. The young woman would rather humiliate him and destroy his pride than step down to his level and commit murder. Yes, in her feral state she had murdered her pack, but she didn't mean to...there was a difference. At least, that is what she told herself when those despairing nightmares began to resurface.
Although her deviant companion preferred her to walk barefooted, because shoes would make her sound noisy, each step she took was soundless, a practiced art now come natural. Perhaps a bit too natural. Her scent was mixed with that of the leopard, the only male she allowed to approach her and stay at her side, the abused woman unable to trust others so very easily. With the mixture of her shadow and the thickness of the grey fog swirling around her she was discreetly concealed. As she made her way through the dark woods her head would tilt slowly as that delicious, yet ominous scent, drew her closer towards the peculiar creature she was looking for. As she rounded the live oak tree she would catch a familiar outline resting easily against the tree. Approaching cautiously towards the unknown male she would only stop until she was at a safe distance. Like any predator she studied the individual attempting to decide whether he was of equal footing or a lowly prey. While her shadowed armor continued to encase her with the mixture of the thick fog, the moon felt the need to expose its silver rays upon the scarred woman. Tonight she had her hoodie's sleeves pulled back to reveal old scars that looked like they were done to her yesterday. Each mark held a bitter, agonizing memory, one that she attempted not to remember. Golden-brown curls continued to shape her face, as they cascaded down her shoulders while the wind blew. The silver rays of the moon exposed her face, those long four jagged scars left deep impressions on what would have been a beautiful face.
Those blue-grey eyes carried so much hidden pain, so carefully hidden, and yet the eyes were the windows to the soul. Her very own soul was fragmented and bent and broken to pieces, and yet from all that pent up anguish, pain, and sadness was slowly being healed. Yet time heals are scars. Some scars can't be healed up so quickly. Looking upon the male before her she already felt the natural need to get away â€" males were untrustworthy, they were not safe and she hardly wished to stay within his presence. Yet she did not flinch or cower she only stood there as silent as this night. One hand would lift and stroke the titanium cat figure that laid against her neck, a special trinket that held far more importance than any object she ever owned. Those painful eyes of hers noticed the deadened look in his gaze and that funny metaphor came to light...perhaps he did indeed did not have a soul. However, there was another thing that caught her eye it was the strand of blonde curl that remained within his tight grip, almost as if he did not want to lose this tiny object. Although it did not look like it, she was on the edge, so very well aware and ready to take offense or defense as needed. There was a look about him, a familiar wild look that she was familiar with seeing from Tobias, and she was not afraid of him...just curious. The lupine was able to taste Death on him, but what he was she was not sure...at least not yet.
