You had traveled to the mountains and wondered through them till you came upon a old fortress for the time of the empire. It was mostly intact and the wards are still standing if barely. You enter the fortress and headed to the room were the ward stone is and fuel it with your magic and then reconnected it to the four lay lines under the fortress. The wards quickly returned to full strength and the repaired the building and soon you are in a fortress with wards that will be able to hold off a army for at least 2 if not more years.
You go through the fortress and got the rooms you needed ready before heading out to look for slaves to breed. You saw a pair of female cat girls running from a group of bandits from the wall as you walked along it. You cast an illusion on the bandits which had them run off the side of the mountain as you walked after the girls. You found them in a cave and used your pheromones on them and their eyes dulled as they followed you to your home. You chained them to the walls and headed to your room for the night as you planned to breed them the next day.
