As Fox reached the cliff face, she touched a small crack in the
cliff, and a glowing blue rune appeared. "Alright, so the only way
anyone besides me will ever be able to enter is if I personally
register you as either guests or tenants. Tim's going to be a
tenant of course, but you two will be guests so... hmmm..." Fox
mumbled to herself. The protective magic around this place was so
strong that it had lasted over a millennia, and it was also laced
with deadly magic for those with impure intentions seeking this
place. She pulled a hair from Ti'ms head and pressed it against the
rune, muttering a strange, unintelligible language. "Sorry Tim, but
at least now you can enter." Fox said, pulling Tim inside, seeming
to vanish into the great rock. Inside the magical barrier, it was
revealed that the border was made of many pillars of stone, covered
in glowing blue runes. "Make sure not to touch those, alright?" She
said. She pulled Tim down a pathway leading towards a large mansion
on top of a small hill. "Stay on the porch, I'll be right back."
She said, running back to the entrance as the magical barrier
shimmered a pale blue sheen. As she popped back out from the
border, she grimaced as she remembered the requirements for guests.
"Alright then, now that that's done, I'm kinda sorry about this,
but it's the only way for entry. I promise you that I hate it as
much as you do." Fox said, shifting into a more lupine form, taking
on the appearance of her teenage self, except with wolfish
features. She grabbed the wolf and pulled him into a long,
dramatic, mouth-on-mouth kiss. She pulled away, shuddering a bit.
"No offence, bit I personally hate the protocols on this thing. If
you are properly bound to your fae, this should work." Fox said as
she typed in mysterious runes on the wall, kissing in a square
shaped rune on the cliff face. "You are bound, right? Eh, if you're
entirely loyal to your fae, it should work. Now c'mon, Tim's
waiting for us!" Fox said, pulling the wolf -with the fae too-
through the barrier, the runes fading away instantly, activating
the defensive protocols. "Welcome to my haven!" Fox said, arms
spread out towards the sunny sky as small drakes flew through the
air. "Well, what are you waiting for? Follow me!" Fox exclaimed as
she led her companions towards the mansion on the hill.
