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.

Pierre nods at the other man, acknowledging his readiness. Pierre is not one to often run, the act just doesn't appeal to him, but apparently it is an activity he will find himself doing whenever he comes to this strange park considering today and the other night's experiences. He certainly can't just walk the other man, who appears to be suffering, to their destination, though maybe the jacket will help just that much. Is the risk worth not getting sweaty and out of breath? Probably not. He glances back at the stranger, "You up for a jog?" Pierre smiles crookedly, trying to lighten the mood just a tad. Once they set off, he looks to the man once more, "What's your name, anyway? I'm Pierre. It's not everyday I meet someone who is allergic to the sun." It's not long before the patch of woods comes to a close, the trees gradually thinning to give way to an urbanized street. There is a road now separating the two from the shady alley, a road with a good amount of traffic feeding through it. Whoever this man is, Pierre gets more and more confused as he thinks things through. A person allergic to the sun, out in the sun? Surely a life without sun would know how to live avoiding it by now, seeing as the man is not a child. Pierre has a small allergy to cats, so he avoids them for the most part. Of course, an allergy to the sun is quite different. The sun is out everyday, albeit some of those days are cloudy and he does not know just how bad the reaction the stranger has is, but still. He wants to find out information, but first he needs to get to protection from the bright rays of sunlight. Pierre turns his attention to the road, taking a small step back as a truck rushes by and spins loose grass into the air in it's wake. A real life frogger, though the road is only two lanes. He makes a break for it, calling out to the other man to follow as there is a pause in traffic. He smiles at the end of it, enjoying the tiny rush of adrenaline. The alley is only a few more steps away now, he looks over to check on the stranger. |
