There was a grunt in response before he fully opened the door to allow me in. Walking through the door, I allowed my eyes to adjust to the dark interior of the house. The wards easily wrap their cold tendrils around me before returning to normal. The entrance seemed like it did earlier in the summer. Except for the clear signs of magic if the fractals were to be followed. they were everywhere. Several objects and furniture had them waving around. The sheet covering the portrait did not hide the fractals at all.
