**Alistair's Island** also called **Fox Island** is a hidden artificial island created through magic by Alistair Huntington to serve as his home and base of operations to track his progress and seal away all the Gender Curses he has Collected over the centuries as the Sapphire Foxx. It's located about 200 miles south of Nova Scotia and a fair distance from the coastal island of Cinder Isle by which its connected to by an underground fissure cave.

Using powerful magics Alistair created the island so it would be invisible to anyone outside its shores and only someone with the exact magical coordinates could teleport there. There were also multiple enchantments placed around it so no Non-bloods could find and land on it by accident (though this did not seem to apply if they entered from underground).On the island he built a small cave system where he would have a large chamber to serve as the vault where he would store away all the Gender Curse Orbs that he collected over the centuries of finding and curing those born with them. He would also include a large room with a crystal ball he could use to watch over those he cured or needed to cure or any other targets of his interest in the outside world. The Main Hall where the vault was situated also had an enchanted map hidden in the floor that helped Alistair track who he has cured and who he needs to cure still. Since Alistair chose to leave the burden of cleaning up his wife's mess to himself, he remained there in isolation with no one else having any knowledge of it.

In his crystal line form Alistair did not require food, water, or any form of physical comfort thus the island had no facilities or food supplies. Beyond stone chambers and a few storage areas for certain relics or materials he gathered to help him with his magical practices there is also implied to be a large cave system woven throughout the island's underground, but it is only briefly mentioned. The only chamber we see of this supposed cave system is a ritual chamber where Alistair performs the spell to restore his human body.

## History

While it is unknown exactly when Alistair created the island it can be assumed to have been any time after either the defeat of Sylvana in the 1400's or possibly after his children moved out or passed away likely feeling isolation was better than watching his decedents go through a dozen generations while he remained unaged in his crystal form.

   The earliest it is seen is in 1997 when the three women from the nearby island of Cinder Isle journey there via an underground cave through which a red water has been flowing through and leaking onto their island causing a pandemic of what was known as the T1-G1 Virus. When they arrive, they find the vault seal cracked open and the main hall in a state of disrepair, covered in scorch marks and all the plants inside it dead. As they investigate, they find a ring of blue crystals scattered about the center of the room and decide to gather them up and head back to Cinder Isle to try and figure out what they are. It wouldn't be for another couple months that they would learn that those crystals were in fact a shattered Alistair who had committed suicide after growing weary of being alone and making such minimal progress on his mission over the centuries. However, after being revived by the group from Cinder Isle he finds a renewed hope and has made new friends he can visit on occasion and so Alistair's drive is restored and after repairing the damage his suicide attempt had done, he returns to the island and restores its former glory, ready to continue his long mission.

The island is next seen (first in terms of animation release) at the end of Stealing from Sis when Alistair observes the twins Mariah and Tyler as they fully embrace their newly swapped lives. He watches them through his crystal ball in one of the chambers on his island and then uses his magic to extract their curse orbs and bring them to the island to be sealed in his vault. As he opens the Vault, he mentions how he already has millions of the orbs gathered and sealed within it suggesting by this point he's already been centered on the island for several centuries.

Almost two years later the island is found by one Isabelle Arrington, a distant descendant of Alistair's youngest daughter Ivy Huntington. After having been confronted by Alistair for her selfish misuse of magic Isabelle successfully tracks him down using magic and technology. She determines the return point of the Fox's teleports and uses it to teleport to the island on her own power. Once there she finds the Fox is not there at the moment as he is still out collecting curses. However, she does find the vault and map and determines what the Fox has actually been doing for so long and decides to try and prove herself a worthy apprentice for him by going out to get a curse on her own. She returns just as the Fox does and presents him with the orb and makes her offer to be his assistant if not apprentice. Though the fox is hesitant he offers her a test to gather three more orbs in thirty minutes. While she succeeds the fox still claims she is too immature and respectfully turns her down as an apprentice. Isabelle then leaves disappointed, but the Fox rewards her by telling her his true name of Alistair Huntington.

Several weeks later Alistair have been observing Isabelle from a distance seeing she has been studying hard and working to improve herself and after having handled rejection maturely he informs her his rejection was part of the test and he accepts her as his apprentice. Alistair creates a construct body of his human form to properly introduce himself to Isabelle and the two of them return to the island to begin her training. Over the next several months Alistair and Isabelle train on the island with Isabelle teleporting back and forth at her leisure and both of them working to collect curses and cure those burdened with them.

The following summer Isabelle and Alistair have begun an effort to travel Australia and clear all the inhabitants of the curses. As they do so they both go back and forth to the island to store the curses they collect in mass. However, when Alistair is damaged, first by a group of four men and then a drone from the DSC that mistook his damaged form as a rouge construct, All the floating candles in the main hall of the island go out as a sign of his severely damaged state. Isabelle however dedicates herself to finding him and eventually succeeds in restoring Alistair and allowing both of them to return to the island and resume their work. A few weeks later Alistair makes plans with Isabelle on the island to retrieve the last few of his body's shards from the DSC and crafts her a set of Rune Armor to use in their heist attempt.

When the two of them at last pull the heist off Alistair and Isabelle return to the island triumphantly and it's revealed that Alistair has also recruited Isabelle's best friend Claire Dupont as one of his allies and a minor protégée after seeing her technology skills and having her help them with the heist. It is implied that at this point DSC Director Zephys, may have managed to pinpoint the island's location after hesitantly letting them go after their heist and ordering her agents to trace their teleports, but this has yet to be confirmed.

A year after that Alistair and Isabelle continue to use the island as their base of operations through events such as the Mystiria incident where Isabelle's doppelganger created by the criminal Grey Mask arrives at the island per its artificial memories, but Alistair detects the false soul within her almost immediately and subdues her before teleporting away to find out what's going on. The island is not seen again until about another year later after the Mystiria incident is sorted and Alistair is shown to be watching a new potential target for Isabelle to cure. He sends her to said target but purposely neglected to tell her that the target was a sorcerer with power that rivals her own. After she fight the sorcerer known as Ashley and cures her of her curse she returns to the island and confronts Alistair on it. While he explains he wanted to test her however its revealed that Ashley has managed to follow Isabelle and has discovered the island for herself. Alistair explains things to her and while she agrees to keep the island a secret, she is still a bit hostile towards Isabelle for her aggressive approach to curing her.

A few months later Isabelle and Ashley have made amends and started a friendship and despite Alistair's rules about not bringing anyone to the island without his permission she brings Ashley back on her request as she wishes to both Thank the two of them for curing her and also volunteer to help them cure the cursed. After little debate Alistair accepts Ashley as a new protegee and the three of them being their efforts to continue progress on curing those cursed.

At some point after this Isabelle's boyfriend Chris Young is offered an apprenticeship by Alistair and though he does mess up his first attemtp to cure a cursed target he is eventually accepted and show the Islands location. Months later Chris' younger sister Jessica is also shown the location of the island after her vigilante career as the Pink Knight caught Alistair's attention enough to reveal a few of his secrets to her. SHe is shown around the island and given the intail task of organizing the main library that sits in one of the lower caves. She eventually joined as Alistair's 4th protegee beginning the reformation of the Saphire Legion that Alistair was said to have had in his original battle with Sylvana centuries ago. This came at a rather opportune time as unknown to any of them at the time Sylvana had been freed from her prison and let loose on the world once again. When Alistair discovered this and eventually tracked her down, he took Isabelle to face her and her army of Enlightened she had been rebuilding. While they succeeded in rescuing all her remaining brainwashed and transformed servants, they failed to stop Sylvana and Isabelle was mortally wounded. They are forced to retreat back to the island where Chris and Claire combine their powers to cure all her enlightened freeing them of her influence, but they also see that Isabelle is hurt and Chris heals her with his emerald magic in the main hall. Alistair then announces his plan to restore his human form in order to combat the already restored Sylvana.

Just over a week later the New Sapphire Legion has now grown to include Isabelle's father Sebastian. They meet on the island to help Alistair perform the ritual to restore his human form but unknown to them one of Sylvana's followers posing as Isabelle has tricked Chris into bring him to the island exposing its location to Sylvana. She and her followers storm the island and face off against the legion, but Alistair and Isabelle flee into the lower tunnels to try and complete the ritual in time. While they succeed in restoring Alistair to his human form the legion is left wounded and scattered across the island. Though they did successfully stop Sylvana's sorcerer followers, Sylvana herself was too strong and not only left the others wounded but also breached the curse vault and released every last one of the orbs to recurse everyone and bring them under her influence. As the millions across the world become her Enlightened slaves and even begin to infect other close to them, Sylvana brings an arcane bomb to the island and sets it to detonate as she teleports away triumphant. However just as she leaves Alistair surfaces in his human form and while he is devastated to see his centuries of work destroyed in minutes, he notices the bomb before the timer reaches zero and manages to get the members of the legion to safety before it detonates. The Saphire Legion lives to fight another day, but Alistair's island is obliterated by the explosion leaving them to find a new place to lay low and plan their next move on Sylvana.
