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.

Sebastian EllingtonI need to feel you again, feel my lips on your skin
for one night I could be him, no, I could be better
The English vampire pressed the young woman against the trunk of a rather tall oak, the large trunk hardly hindered by their weight as he leaned his hand against it, his dark crystalline gaze steadfast upon her as she looked up at him. He could hardly deny the hunger that tore at his soul and stomach - the beast that took up so much of his life needed to be fed, especially after how the man had spent the majority of his day. He should have been sleeping, tucked comfortably within the warmth of his luxury sheets in the Northern part of town. The hotel had become his sanctuary of sorts, to the point where the man hardly bothered to even look at a home for purchase, regardless of the daily cost of the Witchery. Instead, however, Sebastian had unfortunately found himself dodging the sunlight between the shade of the trees to hiding in alley's with a French men who'd never heard of vampires and thought he simply had a 'sun allergy'.
Suffice to say, the vampire was utterly starving. His flesh was hardly as pristine and smooth as it usually was, instead marred by slowly healing burns the sunlight had inflicted upon him. He felt weaker then usual, his affinity certainly took far more of his attention and yet, there was something about his interest in the woman that made her particularly easy to coax. He suspected it largely had to do with her own scarred figure. Hell, he doubted she was often awarded the attention of a man, especially one whom clearly had more...intimate desires. Regardless, Sebastian leaned closer towards the young woman, inquiring ever so softly in her ear, his foreign accent particularly strong, "And what is your name, sweetheart?" He inquired, if only because it gave him something to call her by later tonight. His own magic was already hard at work, not wanting to afford her with the opportunity to deny him the blood that ran beneath her veins.
Sebastian leaned down and closer towards her, his nose gingerly brushing against the girl's neck, his own tongue teased at the flesh at the base of her neck. God, he was starving. The closeness to his mouth upon her flesh only just reminded him of just how much he needed this - but no, not yet. He wanted her to enjoy herself, if only because he knew well just how much he was, in some fashion or another, encouraging her with a level of intensity that she simply could not deny. Her body was working against her and it was entirely his fault. In a way, Sebastian knew well his power was no better then the vampires that merely took what they wanted. In a way, he supposed he often did too. But he genuinely did try to find those who held some general lust for him before he simply encouraged their feelings. She, however, was different and he abhorred the way the fairy girl had looked at him. He hardly wanted that same look mirrored within the stormy gaze of the curly haired woman in front of him. "You're beautiful, love." He whispered softly when she provided her name, fully providing the woman the words that she might want to hear. There was a certain sort of loveliness to her, Sebastian was hardly lying though he suspected that it wasn't often others looked beyond the imperfections that curled around her eyes. His touch was gentle as his thumb caressed her cheek, his lips pulling away from the girl's neck before settling gently beneath her chin, forcing her eyes upwards and towards him.
