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.

Henry seemed happy for her that she had a nice rank in the Chimera pack, congratulating her. Malia couldn't stop grinning as she leaned over to nudge his shoulder with her own. "Thanks." When she tried to tease the other Were about the arcade, he chuckled and she gave him a pouty look. "Aw, no fun. I like a challenge." Her brow quirked as she gave her friend a teasing wink and chuckled. The subject turned to the other animals in the zoo and she couldn't help but smirk wider. "Master plan? That's no fun. I like to make it up as I go along." Even as she teased though, the woman found herself really looking at the man beside her. She wanted to know he was happy, or at least getting there. She knew he'd been through a lot lately, both in his relationship and in life. Learning how to be a Were, living in a pack, losing the love of his life. She couldn't begin to imagine, but she knew she wanted happiness for Henry above all. He deserved that and so much more. When the man started to walk, Malia fell into step with him, not even really noticing where they were going, just knowing they would have a good time because she was with him. Henry would always be the one she would trust without a second thought. He was there for her in her darkest time and in a way, she owed him her life. At his question, she smirked and shrugged. "I don't really give demands or anything. It's more like trying to recruit outside Were's and breaking up fights and such, not that I mind that last part." Her smirk slightly widened and her eyes glittered. The woman had always loved a good fight. It was the life she was used to, after all. Her face sobered a little then as she looked at Henry. "What about you? How's it going at the Ark?" |
