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.

She's not alive. Cole couldn't help but keep repeating that inside his mind as he stood there, watching Carson closely. Like a parent ensuring his child would not fall and scrap his knees. He nervously twitches, feeling such emotions: not having his blood lust fully satiated, the fact his life (their life) was forever changed now. And the fact he had let Carson fall and scrap.
When Carson collapses to the ground, he can feel the tears coming back. Not because of guilt for what he had done. Just hearing his boyfriend weep, cry, plead ... just break. It was breaking Cole, piece by piece. This false, human mask he wore he now feared would completely disappear and there would be nothing left but what was really behind it. A dark, evil beast. A dragon, full of greed and violence and dark desires. The beast he never wanted anyone to see. Even stranger, Ted Bundy's words came to mind right after Carson finished his sorrowful words.
'I'm the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you'll ever meet.'
He walks over, kneeling down and resting on his toes behind him. He grabs Carson's hand and turns it over so his palm was exposed. On the horizon, birds began to sing, signaling that dawn was fast approaching. For a moment Cole just stares at his sweet's palm, just seeing the lines and the softness compared to his rough ones. It makes him sniffle and sucking in those tears that wanted to come out so badly again. Then he looks directly into those brown, abyssal eyes. "We're all monsters, Carson." And then he takes the pistol and places it in his hand, making sure his fingers curled around it. He holds both hands around Carson's for a few seconds and stands up, walking to face him directly.
He puts himself between him and the girl, in a way blocking his view of her body. A deep sigh escapes his lips, the only sound was the creek water, the birds in the distance, his one and only's desperate and breaking heart. "If you don't believe me, then shoot me, Carson. I can't stop. I can't, and if you won't let me at least show you, then I have no reason living. I can't live without you and I can't live a normal life." He's oddly calm as he speaks and says this, as if welcoming it. If I'm gonna go, I might as well go by the bullet of my most beloved. In fact, this was a test ... to see how Carson really thought and believed. Does he really love me? Does he want to turn me in? Take me to the nuthouse? "What are you gonna do, Carson? What's it gonna be? Call the police? Have me locked up? Or maybe I'll spend my days in a padded room, drooling away." He pauses for a moment, raising his chin up and looking at the horizon. "Shoot me, or let me do what I have to do."
