South
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.

Ascension Center of Equitation
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 Park
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.
Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium
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.
The Outskirts
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
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.

Emmy watches with curiosity at how well the dog was mannered. Even though she was young and still learning, she could tell that the puppy had a good owner who tried so very hard to train his dog right. It wasn't often that one came across a dog that could obey simple commands. Most of the time they just ran around crazy without any sort of obedience training at all.
As he apologizes for the way the puppy tries to greet her and she shakes her head as her hand reaches out to love on the precious dog. "She's better behaved than many I see...so it's a pleasant surprise. I don't mind at all." She offers a smile to Benjamin, trying to convey that the puppy's behavior didn't bother her at all.
At Benjamin gives out his pleasantries, she notes the way his first instinct is to call her Emerson. She had never minded being called her Christian name, it was just formal. She found that most inherently wanted to shorten it, so she had been used to being called Emmy. "You can call me Emerson, that's fine with me. It's just formal. Most people prefer the shortened version." Her teachers in school had always called her Emerson, but her friends called her Emmy. But Alex...he was the only one who ever called her by her formal name too. His way of greeting her had been completely related to how much he cared for her. After his death, there was no one to call her Emerson. That name was nothing short of a distant memory.
Hand rubbed along the puppy's head before moving to scratch the puppy's chin and then her belly as the dog finally presented it to her. She listened quietly to Benjamin as he recounted the day he had adopted his sweet puppy. Emmy could immediately relate to the little dog. She and the puppy had a similar past.
He asks if she has had any pets now or in the past and she shakes her head. Slowly, she gets up from her kneeling position and brushes off the dirt from her jeans before she looks up at Benjamin. "I remember having a dog when I was a little girl. But since I was thirteen, I've basically been homeless. I could barely take care of myself let alone an animal." What she didn't say was that she was still practically homeless. She bummed in hotels and on couches when she could. She was trying to find steady work but often times, she and her guitar would sit by the fountain in the square and sing for a few coins to buy her a hot meal and a bed to sleep on. It wasn't a glamorous life, but it was the life she knew.
However, her homeless state was not something she wanted to dwell on. She would much rather talk about this adorable puppy. "May I?" Hand extended to reach for the ball they were just previously playing fetch with. Perhaps a good game of ball could help them get to know one another.
