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.

Perhaps it was a good thing she suggested the woman to sit down. The last thing she needed was some human fainting in the middle of the park. What was she to do? Stay in wolf form and attack anyone that might try to harm her? Shift back into her human form and wait for the authorities to arrive to revive her...and possibly be blamed for the problem in the first place? She would have rather had the girl run like crazy through the park, screaming at the top of her lungs about a wolf. At least then she wouldn't have to worry about the girl. Yet there was a small part of her that hoped she would be calm as she took in the sudden realization that humans were not the only species to walk on the Earth. Calm slate eyes narrowed when she noticed the girl shaking, her cold nose catching the scent of fear and anxiety overwhelming her. Grey trimmed ears would lace backwards, lowering her head in a non-threatening manner as she approached the girl slowly. Quietly she would sit only a mere few feet away from the girl, her head moving side to side observing the jogging path. She knew she didn't have time to sit here and wait for the girl to accept this new change in her life. Others would come and she doubted they would be as understanding or willing to accept that a creature, not meant for the park, was sitting in the park grounds as bright as day. But she would wait, patiently, but should anything go awry she would head for the woods within the park and hide. One right grey trimmed ear twitched when she heard the whispered words of acceptance flutter out of the girl. Tilting her ebony skull to the side her own voice brushed the mind of the red-headed girl gently.
"You don't...get out much do you?"
Really she had no right to even judge the poor woman. She didn't necessary attempt to reach out in the world and try new things herself. In her old pack's territory, they were taught about the other creatures within the supernatural underworld. Sometimes in class they would have visitors, each different species explaining themselves and showing their strengths. It was only in books and stories did she learn about their weakness. She did notice that each time a vampire came, everyone within the room got anxious, always she could hear the soft growls or hisses of anger come from her peers. Even though the vampire would make her feel uneasy, she didn't have the desire to harm them- not until they flashed their fangs when they enjoyed their capability of making a room full of Were's uncomfortable. Her attention would fall back on the woman as she listened to her girl shoot out a variety of questions. Sitting up a bit straighter, her ebony tail, dipped with grey along the tip and edges would slam into the ground in a content and slightly amused manner.
"I was born human, but I changed a few days later underneath the full moon. It did when I was younger, but now it doesn't hurt as much. I prefer being a wolf more than human...it hurts being human. Yes, it is hereditary, but if I bit you then you'd change and then your children will have it."
Her head would duck low at the sudden realization of her last comment. One grey paw would drag along the earth's soul in a bashful, almost human, manner as she weakly spoke up. Blue-grey eyes would shift upwards as she silently chastised herself for her out of line comment.
"But I am not going to bite you."
Lifting her head once more, she could catch unfamiliar scents on the gentle wind that blew past them. She wasn't sure where it was coming from, but she knew full well they were human. Really she had to get a move on if she wasn't going to be caught, but she didn't want to leave the red-head alone.
"Do you have any more questions, because I really can't be out here like this for long."
