Chapter 476: Preparations

Nick thought about it and found the suggestion reasonable since while he doubted the wards around the island could completely contain the worldly phenomena of a ballad enchantment it should be able to limit it. 'I think this will work but I will create a few precautions just in case.' Nick thought before opening the daedric book again to study it while he waited for his mana to refill. He didn't make much progress during this time but he had expected this and so wasn't bothered by it. When he finally regained his mana Nick stood up and transformed into his celestial bird form before vanishing from the workshop.-

His destination was the island but was prevented entry by the wards that didn't allow for any form of teleportation. He expected this and wasn't surprised to see that he was outside the ward before gliding down into the ward without issue. Even if he couldn't teleport straight into the island the ward wasn't going to stop it's master from physically entering it either. Seram clearly noticed Nick but after observing him for a bit chose to go back to sleep once she determined who he was.-

He had to use a magnification spell and warders pen in order to fully complete the wards on the small stones but he did it and set the stone in place around the room before transforming and teleporting back to the workshop at Hogwarts after flying out of the islands wards. His arrival and departure from the island hadn't gone unnoticed however as while the order of the golden sands wasn't going after him in hostility so long as he kept his head down they weren't going to ignore him either.-

As a result a sentry had been set in place near the island to keep an eye on any strange coming or goings from it while simultaneously trying to crack the wards as well. Both parts of this mission were going poorly however as besides the regular coming and going of the house elf nothing entered or left the island until now. The progress on the wards was even worse as not only was the ward in a language entirely unknown but the wards were constantly shifting as well without any pattern so without a stupid amount of luck no progress was able to be made.-

So when Nick showed up in his celestial bird form the sentry was greatly startled and reported about it in great detail. The description that he gave sent a ripple through the orders magizoologists as they remembered a magical creature that caused a heavy blow to their order in the past after they tried to capture it. There was even a sketch of the creature in the records of the order that after getting looked over made the one called "the elder" scowl angrily. "We thought we had seen the last of that damn bird but it seems the brat has managed to fulfill the rebirth conditions for it and now it's fucking unkillable , what a headache." the elder said in a gravely voice that sounded inhuman.
